Holy Island Cottages
Just show me Holy Island of Lindisfarne Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages to rent near the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Northumberland.
For scenery and serenity, escape to a Lindisfarne holiday cottage on magical Holy Island. It's a wonderful place for families, nature lovers, walkers and anyone with a passion for cultural heritage.
Accessible from the mainland at low tide via a long causeway, it's lovely to watch the tide come up, knowing you're here to stay if only for a while.
Holy Island is the 'Birthplace of Christianity' and remains a place of pilgrimage today. Browse the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and unearth its past at the Heritage Centre - invasions by the Vikings, the life of St. Cuthbert and the monks who lived here; even tales about Henry VIII.
For dazzling views, visit the 16th Century Lindisfarne Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop and protected by the National Trust.
Holy Island is a paradise for bird-watching, with over 300 species listed within the National Nature Reserve while, at high tide, grey seals can sometimes be spotted on the beaches.
Talking of beaches, the ones here are made for buckets and spades, rock pooling and kiting, entertaining kids and parents alike. Or discover them on horse-back - an experience not-to-be-missed! For walking, the long-distance ways of St. Cuthbert and St. Oswald both leave from the island.
Savour fresh crab rolls and sumptuous oysters, not to mention local mead, brewed to an ancient recipe. Though it's a small island, there's a choice of restaurants, cafés and pubs.
So if leaving the hustle and bustle behind is important to you, a Lindisfarne cottage could be your perfect match.

Sarah Palin Heads Roster at Leadership Forum at Southeastern University
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 11:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 11:30 p.m.
LAKELAND | Southeastern University is gearing up for its annual fundraising leadership event next week, featuring former Alaska governor Sarah Palin as star attraction.
Palin, 49, the 2008 Republican candidate for vice president, will be at the 2013 National Leadership Forum along with a list of other speakers. She will talk about leadership.
Brian Carroll, vice president for university advancement, said ticket sales are going well, but there still are some available. The forum has changed over the years, he said, and has become an event that is talked about in the university network.
Word has gotten out about the event, he said, and other schools have approached SEU administrators to learn more about the model.
"We are in our seventh year doing this," he said. "It's become, well, not routine, but we have a pattern. We've made a lot of course corrections over the years."
The forum is geared toward leaders in the business, professional and church communities.
"The main purpose of it is the heart of our culture," Carroll said. "It is a culture to serve, and that extends from our students out into the community. In the past year, we had 33,000 service hours in the community. That is unbelievable."
Ticket information is online at seuleadershipforum.com. Forum tickets cover both days of the event and are sold in four categories: $450 for non-reserved tickets; $650 for a reserved ticket; $1,000 for a VIP ticket and $1,500 for an executive ticket.
Other speakers on the agenda are:
Phil Cooke, a writer and speaker who has produced media programming in more than 40 countries.
Jon Gordon, an author and speaker.
AmyK Hutchens, a business strategist and speaker.
Dave Martin, the founder and president of Dave Martin International. He is an inspirational speaker and author.
John Maxwell, an internationally renowned leadership expert, coach and author.
John Ortberg, an author, speaker and pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church.
Nancy Ortberg, a teaching pastor, author and founding partner of Teamworx2.
Mark Sanborn, an author and president of Sanborn & Associates Inc., a leadership development idea studio.
Pat Williams, senior vice president of the NBA's Orlando Magic.
The highest-priced ticket buys premier seating, a private evening reception with Palin on Friday and the amenities included with the VIP tickets.
Maxwell will be the keynote speaker at a scholarship gala on Thursday night.
While the two-day event provides a great chance for attendants to network and for students to learn, it has another strong benefit as well, Carroll said. "It's also an opportunity for us to help raise significant dollars," he said.
Sponsorships finance the speakers and provide scholarships. All net proceeds from the event directly benefit the Southeastern University Scholarship Fund. More than 90 percent of the university's students receive financial aid, officials said. In 2011-12, more than $7 million was awarded to students.
For more information about the conference, call the university at 863-667-5455 or 877-367-8620.

When you complete the steps for creating a new application and project, the Projects panel in the Application Navigator should look like this:
In JDeveloper, an application keeps track of the projects (collections of related files) you use while developing your application. Different projects might contain files representing different tiers of a multi-tier application, for instance, or different subsystems of a complex application. These files can reside in any directory and still be contained within a single project.
The Generic Application template that you used for your application creates one project using a default project name (or the project name you entered). Projects are displayed as the top level in the hierarchy in the Application Navigator.
In the Application Navigator you can collapse and expand any panel. You adjust the size of panels by dragging the splitter between two panels. To group and sort items in the Projects panel, use the Navigator Display Options dropdown menu. For application operations, you can click Application Menu and choose an option from the dropdown menu.
JDeveloper has the capability of recognizing many different file types, displaying each in its appropriate viewer or editor when you double-click the file in the Application Navigator. Closing an application or project closes all open editors or viewers for files in that application or project and unloads the files from memory.
Note: Nodes in italics in the Application Navigator mean that the elements have not yet been saved. A project node is bold when a file in the project is selected or open in an editor.
The Application Overview window opens by default in the editor window area when you create a new application. All objects that you create within JDeveloper appear in the Application Overview file summary pages, arranged by object type. You can create new files and artifacts, and view them filtered by status and project.
You can optionally close the window, since you will not be using it to create objects for this application.

The snows melted, trails are drying up, summer biking events are starting to fill the calendar. With mountain biking season kicking into high-gear we're going to take our first look at some biking gear to consider either for an upgrade or to keep you comfortable. We've got the technology to help you shift gears, stop and better connect with your ride.
Mountain Biking
Shimano XTR Trail Drivetrain System
The drivetrain system is used to transmit power from the rider to his wheels, and Shimano's XTR set-up doesn't hold back. If you've ridden hard enough there's a good chance your chain rings might have some bent teeth making shifting more difficult. Shimano's three-ring crank has a carbon/titanium composite 32-tooth primary driving gear, which let's you take on Colorado's wide range of terrain with torque and quick shifting—without having to drop down to your granny gear (as much).
Shimano XTR Trail Brake System
Go ahead ... descend. You'll want to be able to stop on steep singletrack, so this summer may be the time to update your brakes. This trail brake system has it all, with full ceramic caliper pistons, radiator-fin-backed brake pads and aluminum-core rotors to keep your stops quick and quiet.
Pearl Izumi Rev Shorts
Line your seat with these casual riding shorts. Their vent panels are great for air flow, and you can always count on their padded interior for the comfort you can't go without.
Shimano SH-XC60 Mountain Bike Shoes
Give your feet the support they need to churn and burn. Synthetic leather uppers give these shoes premium protection and durability on technical trails. Their stiff carbon sole also provides strong power transfer on the bike and essential traction off the bike.

I have a bunch of TV shows I have recorded and these play fine via the server, however I was getting sick of hearing the same intro over and over again so I made a bunch of avs files which just trimmed out the intro.
- Code: Select all
AviSource("X:\TV Shows\XYZ\Season 01\01.avi")
These play fine on the computer.
Does PS3 Media Server support avs files? (I can't browse to them on the XMB)
I know there are settings for avisynth in the transcoders, but they're more global and the intro isn't always the same length. I also don't want to re-encode the original files as I'd like to keep them with the intro in (just not every time I play them on the PS3) and I don't really like the idea of having two different versions taking up HDD space.
So really being able to play avs files would be fantastic.
Edit: I've already tried vfapi and makeAVIs to wrap them, and although these play on the computer the PS3 complains they are corrupt

Grinnell sits in the middle of a vast and dynamic environment known as prairie. Tall grasses, flowering plants, deep root systems, soil, and fire comprise the ecosystem. The complex root system means that two-thirds of the prairie lives below ground, and that fire will destroy only the dead matter above ground. This ecosystem is responsible for creating the rich Iowa soil that agriculturalists have enjoyed for generations.
The College engages with the surrounding prairie through the Center for Prairie Studies, which organizes related events, courses, and tours of local prairie preserves and farms. The Conard Environmental Research Area offers state-of-the-art facilities for biological study of the prairie. In addition to learning opportunities, Grinnell students experience the bounty of the prairie in the commitment of Grinnell Dining to local foods, supplied by nearby Iowa farms.
Students work on research for a Biology Mentored Advanced Project (MAP) at Conard Environmental Research Area.

About the Book
A groundbreaking and definitive work of evolutionary psychology that upends everything we thought we knew about leadership
We are all leaders or followers—or both—and we can recognize leadership in almost every area of life. But what makes a good, bad, or even outstanding leader? Fusing psychology, business, evolutionary biology, and current affairs, Naturally Selected examines the evolution of leadership over several million years, from birds and bees to apes and humans, and presents a compelling new hypothesis: the slow pace of evolution has resulted in a mismatch between modern leadership and the kind of leadership for which our Stone Age brains are wired.
Grounded in rigorous academic scholarship, written with journalistic flair, and full of fascinating examples drawn from politics, commerce, sports, and culture, this extraordinary, eye-opening book explains:
- why tall presidential candidates usually beat short ones
- why great athletes often make lousy managers
- why we don't like working for huge companies
- why women chief executives attract hostility
- why middle managers are universally reviled
In doing so, Naturally Selected reveals how the psychology of leadership affects us all—and how we can change our lives by improving the ways we lead and follow.

Suggestions and observations for QCad 126.96.36.199
1. Command "properties" in the "modify" menu- will not respond to the request for info, if the entity is part of a polyline
2. Spacing of characters needs to be differential. That is to say "AA" has different spacing to" AV", and different to "VV", "VA"
3. Architectural ticks may be more aesthetic if they were at the same angle relative to the drawing. (always 45° or -45°) I acknowledge that this only applies to H & V dimensioning, however this is mostly what appears on arch. drawings
4. Dimension lines, extension lines and the associated text need to be able to be separate and selectable pen thickness. Clear thick pen size is important for the dimensions, but is often the same size as the drawing features. The extension lines need to be fine so the drawing subject is the dominant feature
5. Exploding a block locks all parts into the current layer and attributes
If I insert a block or library item into a drawing, it displays immediately into the current layer, the block will become locked into this layer following an "explode" command unless I first generate a drawing preview.
Drawing preview reverts the block to the layers that were used when it was created, however any change to line size or type on a given layer will be lost
Perhaps this was your intention, in which case I would like to know how to produce a block on one layer with different line styles?
6. Snap function does not return to "snap auto" between consecutive uses in the dimension feature
7. Snap function cannot be modified whilst using the dimension leader feature. Probably related to 6. This can be overcome using "space bar" to enter command, then "esc" to return to dim. leader- but this is awkward
8. Underline text option would be helpful. Perhaps this can be done and I just can't find it
9. The hatch command seems to be locked to an origin - a user defined start point would be good
10 This might be a bug and perhaps belongs in a different forum but here goes→
I create a small rectangle "hotkey re" fully contained in the (+x +y) quadrant of the Cartesian plane,
Turn it into a polyline "og".
Create an equidistant polyline "oq" still inside (+x,+y)
Now I cant seem to select both polylines by enclosing them, unless the origin is also inside the enclosed area. I seem to get the 'parent' polyline selected, but not the copy??? Am I doing something wrong?
QCad is an outstanding 2D drawing board simulator, it is intuitive versatile and direct with excellent user dynamics, a first class example of what can be achieved by a program not trying to do "too much".
Well that's what I think anyway.

Meridian Postmaster Danny Swancey shared some advice for getting gift packages delivered promptly and safely.
"First of all you want to start with a good sturdy box. Make sure there is a layer of protection around whatever you put inside the box," said Swancey. "(You can use) bubble wrap. You can use newspapers. The styrofoam popcorn or pop real popcorn and put it in there. A lot of people use grocery sacks."
"The main thing is to keep whatever's inside secure and keep it from bouncing around. And also put another label inside the box," said Swancey. "So if something were to happen and the address on the outside were smeared and we had to open it, this would be able to tell us where it goes."
"Also use the good fiber tape. Do not use string or paper bags because they tear," the postmaster said. "Also put tape over the address so it doesn't get wet outside.
How long does it take for packages to reach their destination?
Swancey said, "Priority mail is two to three days service standard anywhere in the country. I wouldn't mail anything any later than Friday or Saturday Dec. 20 and 21, if you want it to make it there by Christmas time. Right now we're open from 7:40 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on Mondays. Tuesday through Friday we're open 7:40 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays, we're open from 7:40 a.m. until 11 a.m."
The post office will soon extend its hours to accommodate the increase in the flow of mail and packages.

Comments about Utopia Thermal LS:
I bought the pants in this pattern in my local store and loved everything about them. I regretted not buying a matching shirt and was so excited to discover the Brooks site and find this item. Brooks apparel usually fits me and is very true to size. This was very small. My downside is my daughters upside, it fits her beautifully and looks lovely on her. She always wears at the least a full size smaller than I do and occasionally two sizes.

Comments about Utopia Thermal LS:
LOVE this shirt! I purchased the Utopia Thermal 1/2 zip last year and it quickly became a staple of my running wardrobe as I trained for a marathon during the cold Massachusetts winter (please, Brooks, bring it back - I might be the only one, but I loved the two external elastic hip pockets!!). The brushed thermal fabric is so comfortable, and warm yet breathable!
So, naturally I was excited when I found this top made of the same fabric in Brooks's lineup and decided to treat myself. To be honest, I am currently nursing a stress fracture so haven't been running in this shirt yet, but I have been wearing it as an every day top and it is super comfortable. The fit is extremely flattering and I also actually really like the neckline (although if I was running outside in the cold I would need to wear a top with a higher neckline underneath this for practical reasons). And of course the thumbholes are required. The internal hip pocket is a nice touch - you can fit a credit card/ID, some cash, and a key in there. It is warm, but I never get overheated in it. I only have this top in black, and am considering getting one of the patterned ones, but I also really hope Brooks will make this in other solid colors.

Getting from one side of the street to the other can be a dicey experience for Marietta College students who have to use mid-block crosswalks in order to cross Fourth and Butler streets on the college campus.
The city and college recently worked together to install high-visibility signage on the sides and in the center of both roadways to warn drivers when they're approaching the mid-block crossings.
"It helps, but you still have to be pretty wary before stepping out into the street. One girl was struck while crossing Fourth Street this year," said college sophomore Jason Long.

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
A student steps into the mid-block crosswalk on Fourth Street adjacent to the Marietta College campus Wednesday afternoon.
Freshman Briana Kelley said the Butler Street crossing, located just below the crest of a hill between the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center and Dorothy Webster Hall, can be especially dangerous. Students are constantly crossing the street from the main campus to the dormitories and back again.
"We can't see oncoming cars, and they have a hard time seeing us," she said. "And sometimes drivers stop when we're crossing the street, but sometimes they don't. I've had some close calls. Sometimes you just have to run across."
Campus Police Chief Tom Saccenti said there was a push to install more visible pedestrian crossing signage after a couple of accidents this year.

sign locations
A mid-block crossing safety review for the city of Marietta provides recommendations for safety upgrades at 11 locations, including the following crossings:
The 200 block of Second Street.
Fourth Street between Butler and Putnam streets, near the Marietta College campus.
Butler Street between Fourth and Seventh streets, near the Marietta College campus.
The Marietta Middle School entrance drive off of Seventh Street.
The Glendale Road and Hadley Lane intersection.
Fourth and Matthew streets near Marietta Memorial Hospital.
Colegate Drive near Jaycee Estates and Ewing School.

"During the first two months we had two accidents on Fourth Street," he said. "A student was struck while crossing the street, and a professor's vehicle was rear-ended when he stopped for a pedestrian in the crosswalk."
The student was not seriously injured, but Saccenti said it was clear something had to be done to help prevent such accidents.
After visiting some other campuses in similar cities, Saccenti said it was decided to install the "yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk" markers in the center of the roadways at the mid-block crossings, as well as universal pedestrian crossing signs on each side of the street, alerting drivers that a crosswalk is just ahead.
The Butler Street signs went up on Wednesday, and the Fourth Street crossing signs were put up just before homecoming weekend in October.
"We're doing this, not just for the drivers, but for students, too," Saccenti said. "We want to highlight the locations of the crosswalks and encourage students to cross the streets at those locations."
He noted that state law requires drivers to stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk.
"Once they step into the crosswalk, pedestrians always have the right of way," Saccenti said, noting that failure to stop is a chargeable traffic violation offense.
Marietta city engineer Joe Tucker said the campus crossings on Fourth and Butler streets are among several city mid-block crossings identified as areas of concern in a recent mid-block crossing safety review conducted by TEC Engineering, Inc.
Tucker said the signage at the Butler and Fourth streets crossings is a short-term fix for the problem. He said the safety review study recommends a longer-term solution that would include squaring and moving the Butler Street crosswalk to the crest of the hill to provide better sight distance for pedestrians and drivers.
There used to be two campus crosswalks in the 200 block of Fourth Street, but Tucker said one of those has been removed.
"In the long-range I would like to see that crosswalk moved closer to the center of the block and a speed table crossing installed with signage and push buttons for pedestrians to activate signals in a proper crossing," he said.
The engineering study identified a total of 11 mid-block crossings that need to be addressed within the city, including crossings in the 200 block of Second Street; Fourth Street between Butler and Putnam streets and Butler between Fourth and Seventh streets near the Marietta College campus; the Marietta Middle School entrance drive off of Seventh Street; the Glendale Road and Hadley Lane intersection; Fourth and Matthew streets near Marietta Memorial Hospital; Colegate Drive near Jaycee Estates and Ewing School; and crossings used by Marietta Middle School students on Glendale Road and Ephraim Cutler Drive near the new McDonald's.
Ewing School Principal Katie Keating said a lined crossing used to exist across Colegate Drive from the end of the school sidewalk to the IGA plaza. She said both students and elderly folks from nearby Jaycee Estates still cross Colegate Drive there, although the crosswalk lines were erased when the road was re-paved.
"There are no signs and no crosswalk now, but people cross the street in that area all day long," she said, noting that some of those people are on personal scooters or wheelchairs.
Keating said school officials would like to see the Colegate Drive crosswalk restored so that students and Jaycee Estates residents can cross the road more safely.
But the study recommends not locating a crosswalk there because there isn't enough sight distance for drivers turning onto Colegate Drive from Muskingum Drive, less than a block away.
The study suggests crossing Colegate at the signalized crosswalk in the Muskingum Drive intersection, or locating a crossing at a smaller intersection with Gregg Street about a block above the Ewing School entrance.
Tucker said he plans to share the final mid-block crossing study results and recommendations with city council's streets and transportation committee in the near future.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Former Raiders cornerback Stanford Routt was waived by the Kansas City Chiefs Monday as part of a defensive shakeup by Oakland's AFC West rivals.
Routt, who signed a three-year, $19.6 million deal with the Chiefs after being released by the Raiders in February, was cut because "the relationship was not progressing," said Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel.
Crennel, meanwhile, removed himself from defensive coordinator duties in Kansas City. Crennel said Gary Gibbs would become defensive coordinator and he would spend more time with the entire team. The last-place Chiefs are 1-7.
Routt started seven games with Kansas City and had two interceptions, including one against the Raiders during Oakland's win last week. However, Routt also gave up a pair of touchdown passes against Oakland. Oakland's second-round pick in 2005, Routt was inactive for Thursday's loss to San Diego.
While the Raiders are short-handed at cornerback with projected starters Shawntae Spencer and Ron Bartell still sidelined with injuries, don't expect a Routt reunion in Oakland. When coach Dennis Allen was asked Monday is there had been any discussion about bringing back Routt, he replied "No."
Crennel said Javier Arenas will move into the starting lineup opposite Brandon Flowers. Kansas City signed former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Shaun Smith to replace Routt on the roster.
Routt, who was the Raiders' second-round pick in 2005, received $5 million in guaranteed money when he was cut by Oakland. If Routt clears waivers, he'll also get the rest of his $1.8 million base salary from Kansas City as termination pay. In addition, he received a $4 million signing bonus from the Chiefs.
In all, Routt has pocketed $10.8 million after being cut twice this year.

Two longtime New York City educators renewed their careers here after moving to Monroe County as job commuters.
Irene Livingston is the building principal at East Stroudsburg Elementary School and Mark Wade supervises special education at the Pocono Mountain East Campus. Both are African-Americans who worked for the New York City Education Department and commuted daily to those jobs before taking local school jobs.
Livingston and Wade are among only three minorities to break through the 45-member ranks of school administrators and high-level officials in the East Stroudsburg, Pleasant Valley, Pocono Mountain and Stroudsburg school districts, according to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission figures.
Livingston rose through the ranks of the New York system, from teacher to assistant principal, principal and deputy superintendent for instruction and curriculum, over 33 years.
She and husband Kenneth relocated to the the Poconos in 2000, with Livingston commuting to New York for five years before qualifying for retirement.
She is in her eighth year at the East Stroudsburg Area School District, serving as the ESE principal since the 670-student building opened five years ago. She started in East Stroudsburg as assistant principal at J.T. Lambert Intermediate School.
"I looked into it and thought it would be a great thing," Livingston said of working locally. "I thought I'd be a great role model."
She is thrilled with the way things turned out.
"I love the challenge," Livingston said. "I love the responsibilities. I'm motivated to be a leader in my building. It's so exciting that children can be successful and helping them."
Livingston said she has always adopted a "children first" philosophy. She says it is important for minority and white students alike to see minorities in positions of authority.
"I think it makes all the difference in the world," she said. "They see someone who's like them and they say, 'Gee if they can do that, I can do that.'"
Wade took a similar journey, moving to Jackson Township in 1998 and commuting back to the West Bronx Academy for the Future, where he was assistant principal, for 10 years. He has been with Pocono Mountain for five years, first as assistant principal at Pocono Mountain East High School, before becoming the East Campus special education supervisor a year ago.
"I got tired of the commute," Wade said.
Salaries for educational administrators in Monroe County are generally $20,000 to $30,000 less than in New York, Wade said, yet he is happy to be working locally in special education.
"I like being around kids and I like seeing kids learn," Wade said, pointing to interactions with teachers. "I get to be involved in the entire spectrum."

TRONA - San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies assigned to the Trona Substation can now communicate with other local law-enforcement agencies by radio.
Reporting to the Searles Valley Municipal Advisory Council Thursday, Cpl. Ryan Smith said deputies have been involved in a lot of off-road enforcement.
"With springtime, we get a lot of off-roaders in Spangler Hills," he said.
Smith said Deputy Jason Anderson spearheaded a project to get the substation's communications system on par with the Bureau of Land Management and Searles Valley Minerals.
"We have all our radio frequencies programming, so we'll be able to communicate effectively with Inyo County, Kern County, the Ridgecrest Police Department and the plant here so we can help them with emergencies. Instead of having to go through dispatch or telephone, we can contact them directly," Smith said. "We're happy we've been able to get that accomplished."
He said there was a burglary earlier this month in which six guns were stolen.
"If anyone hears anything about any missing firearms, please report that as soon as possible," he said. "The missing firearms are a big priority for us."
Smith said the bike rodeo was a success.
"We gave away 100 helmets. We had a very good showing," he said. "We were able to register bicycles, so hopefully if a bike comes up missing, we can track them and return them to the proper owners."

On the XBOX I can see them, but it says corrupted, and on the PS3 it just does not show the mkv files at all.

It's a film that can blur the lines between fact, fiction, and faith, and it's stirring a national debate even before it hits the theatres this Friday.
In a News 12 Special Assignment, we look at what local clergy and academic leaders have to say about The Da Vinci Code.
"The symbols are a language that can help us understand our past," says , Tom Hanks' character in the Columbia Pictures film The Da Vinci Code.
And our past is a big part of the plot.
The best-selling book and now the film suggest Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, setting up a dynasty the church has been covering up for centuries.
"Could the son of God have had a sex life? Is that possible? Is that conceivable? Some will say that's even blasphemous to think about," says Dr. Greg Deloach of Augusta's First Baptist Church.
Dr. Deloach is part of a panel that will be kicking around some of the controversies in the Code.
Was there an ancient cover up?
"Well, there's no question in any circle--academics of the faith community--there are no supporting documents that would ever suggest that, number one, Jesus was married...much less married to Mary Magdalene, or [that there was] any type of secret kept by the church," Dr. Deloach says.
Are there clues in the famous painting, Da Vinci's The Last Supper?
Dr. Michael Schwartz, professor of art history at Augusta State University, tells News 12: "His first claim is that the figure to the right of Christ is not John, but Mary Magdalene. The second claim is that Peter has a knife and wants to stab Mary...and there are other claims as well and these are false."
Dr. Schwartz says the figure of John has an effeminate look--but in the Renaissance this was a sign of beauty or of one who is angelic.
"And the reason Peter holds a knife is that the painting is not a photograph. It doesn't allude to one moment in time, it alludes to later in the gospel unfolding, in which Peter will cut off the ear of someone during the struggle," Dr. Schwartz says.
Dr. James Garvy, professor of literature and journalism at ASU, is ready to answer questions like: "Isn't it irresponsible to put something like this out in public knowing it's going to be a bomb that goes off in people's lives?"
Dr. Garvy says if nothing else, Dan Brown is a skillful writer.
"He really knows how to tell a story and communicate information in the context of a plot that will not let you go...and that takes real skill."
The plot can blur the line between fact and fiction, and may cause some to question their own faith.
"And I believe the church should be one of those bedrock places where we can come together, even in our disagreements, and bring together conversation, deeper understanding and communication with one another," Dr. Deloach says.
And that's exactly what the church will do.
Next Tuesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Augusta, the panelists you met in this story will be joined by Father Daniel Munn, a Catholic priest, for a discussion of The Da Vinci Code.
And for the next two Sundays, folks at Harlem United Methodist Church will be having an event called "Unlocking The Da Vinci Code". It's a satellite broadcast featuring three experts who can help answer questions about faith and the history of the church. Each showing starts at 8:30 p.m. at Harlem UMC on Milledgeville Road.
All three people interviewed for this story say they read the book and plan to see the film.
And even though all agree it's a work of fiction, the art historian, Dr. Schwartz, says he's especially looking forward to the scenes shot in the Louvre.
It's the first time a feature film has ever been shot in the world famous museum in Paris.

Tuesday August 9, 2011
Augusta, Ga--When you look at the Laney Wildcat football roster from last year, one thing jumps off the page. Just five seniors. So going forward this year, not a lot to replace. Well, when you lose a guy like Rod Hall, there's actually a decent amount of leadership to replace.
But Coach Lemeul Lackey is liking what he sees here in the early going. He's got a very athletic squad coming back with a handful of three year starters. That includes quarterback Leo Myers and offensive linemen Fred Nelson and Marques Eubanks. One goal is to have each kid do a little bit more then a year ago to get back to being a playoff contender.
"Here's the deal. I think you start small and work the kinks out more or less," says Lackey. "You get some of those guys that were close to making plays, you get them to push the level just a little bit more to go over the hump. I think that's a big deal. I think we ended the season pretty well last year in a good game against a quality opponent, but now it's about winning some of those games."
Another thing this team has to do is get a little more physical. They won the games they should have and lost to the better teams. They had chances in those ballgames and now have to finish what they start.
"Be more physical against other teams because last year some games we didn't finish," says Tharius Pryor. "We'll come out strong and not finish at the end, so we got to get better than that."
"Some games I feel we didn't get physical enough, and that's what we're trying to put in the mindset on defense this year, we're trying to get physical," adds Shaquille Hale.
Laney plays in one of the toughest regions around, but with the experience, they should be able to contend with the likes of Swainsboro, Jefferson County and Dublin for a playoff spot in early November.

I found that running in Vibram 5 fingers give me all of the benefits of barefoot, with the added assurance associated with a protected foot.
I've run for ~25 years in traditional running shoes, but after persistent knee and hip pain, I gave barefoot running a try, and now I run pain free, and my times significantly improved.
Barefoot/or minimalist shoes don't make you "run right" as some people claim, but they do prevent you from doing certain things wrong, and if you are patient about working up the barefoot miles, you are likely to be happy with the change.
My neighbor is an orthopedic surgeon. He tells me the ortho pod community has seen an "explosion" (his word) in the number of broken bones in the feet directly related to barefoot running. Why this is popular I have no idea - running shoes were developed precisely because people who run need support and protection for the feet. If you are serious about doing this, understand what you are exposing yourself to.
I haven't taken the time to research data re: the following point - but my observation after years (literally) of being on user forums where barefoot running is discussed - and done a little (not much) myself: The majority of injuries that come out of barefoot running are a result of incorrect form and trying to get into it too quickly - rather than barefoot itself being the problem. It would be like trying to bench press 400 lbs on your first day of weight training, tearing a tendon, then blaming weightlifting as being an injury prone activity.
It was thought smoking was good for the throat. We're finding that sitting in chairs is, almost literally, killing us. It used to be thought high carb diets were the most healthy and now look at the thinking that is evolving there.
Do I think shoe makers pursued their engineering with the best of intentions? Of course. Do I think we need all that crap that the engineered shoes provide? Absolutely not. The body can do way more than most of us think it can - and will likely be healthier as a result.
I developed horrifically bad PF when I was running a lot. I was using rigid orthotics and motion control shoes at the time. I now run in minimal shoes. (Not a ton - but some.) When I'm at home I'm shoeless 100% of the time - in a home that is 90% hardwood floors. My feet have never felt stronger or healthier.
Most people are too impatient to pursue barefoot "the right way". It takes a lot of dedication and it can take a long time. And the issues that need work may include hips, calves, etc - stuff things might not associate with the feet.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
I run in Vibrams. Prior to getting them I was running in regular shoes and very quickly ended up with an shin splint that stayed with me for almost three months. However I have had no such problem running 'barefoot'. When I'm running barefoot vs in a shoe I can really tell the difference in not only weight between the shoes but also how much more efficiently my energy is being used. On top of that running barefoot does wonders for the mind, or mine at least. I find myself feeling energized and enlightened when I'm running through the grass and can feel the give of the soil. And my last reason for why barefoot/minimalist running is the best is because I feel that shoes limit the natural movements of the foot which in turn cause other muscles to try and compensate, ruining your natural form.
That being said if you have either a very high arch or a flat foot, you may find barefoot running very uncomfortable or painful. I don't believe that any other alignment issues should stop you from running barefoot (unless your doc says otherwise) because running with a bare/minimalist foot gets everything working the way it should be and you should find any aliments you had previously suddenly righting themselves. I know that's how I feel! Walking in shoes I was experiencing god awful calf pain in one leg and shin pain in the other, in my barefoots I can (could, i've been off for awhile) run 15 minutes easy and not feel a lick of pain.
So in conclusion, barefoot running is win
So far I've done all my running bare foot or in my original, very thin VFF's ( I find even the new Bakilas etc are too thick and allow me to slip back to bad habits.) It seems very telling to me that nearly everyone you talk to who has actually given Bare foot a shot loves it. And nearly all the naysayers are people who "heard from a friend who read an article about how dangerous it is."
And if the evidence to support higher technology "More supportive" shoes was so overwhelming, then why are Nike, Reeebok, New Balance etc all shifting huge R&D resources to "Minimalist" shoes?
My opinion is if it interests you, try it. But try it carefully. Don't just chuck your $300 specialty orthotics and bolt out the door expecting to do the same distance or times. And if you like it great, and if you go back to your high tech shoes and can run injury free in them, then go for it. Shoes hurt me. Barefoot doesn't. Your Mileage might vary
Complete 10/30/10
And then I let it all go again. More "restarts" than I can count but I haven't given up hope or trying yet. So who knows what's possible.
I have been barefoot running for about a year now and I can say that it has helped me tremendously! I was a cross country runner in middle and high school and then quit running all together in college. I started back when a friend convinced me to run the Warrior Dash and then Tough Mudder last year. I must say I don't know how I managed to run before in "regular" tennis shoes. I was very worried about protecting my feet and was skeptical when I first started and tried a minimalist shoe, but then evenually switched to barefoot. I do wear Vibram 5 fingers now, especially when I run on rougher trails (I like to run a local mountain to help train) and when I do races just because it's unfamiliar ground. One of my best friends runs in Invisible Shoes and loves them.
Definitely work a try, especially if you have knee, hip, back or foot/ankle pain when you run!
I have drunk the minimalist poison, and I think anyone who still runs in conventional running shoes is doing themselves a disservice. After 30 years of running in cushioned shoes, I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc (L4 and L5 resting on each other) and was told to never run again. I switched to Vibrams at the recommendation of a friend and have never looked back. It took me over a year to make the transition, but running is a joy again for me. I run alternately in Vibrams and Merrells.

Congrats Jim! And I wear my Merrell Pure Gloves for daily wear when I can't be barefoot, like work. Aren't they great?

As the world fights obesity at the human level, scientists at the University of Michigan and their colleagues have made a surprising finding at the microscopic level that could help fuel that fight.Their work, using mice, helps explain why fat-storing cells get fatter, and burn fat slower, as obesity sets in. If their findings from mice can be shown to apply to humans, they may provide a new target for obesity-fighting drugs.

The brain receives information from the ear in a surprisingly orderly fashion, according to a University at Buffalo study scheduled to appear June 6 in the Journal of Neuroscience. The research focuses on a section of the brain called the cochlear nucleus, the first way-station in the brain for information coming from the ear. In particular, the study examined tiny biological structures called synapses that transmit signals from the auditory nerve to the cochlear nucleus.

Son #3 has now been fully inducted into boyhood: he had his first trip to the emergency room tonight. There was a little scuffle with the three boys at the bottom of the stairs that resulted in Son #3 falling off the bottom step and banging his forehead on the hot water radiator in the front hallway. He got a small but deep gash and so I was off to the hospital. Fortunately, small child + head wound = we didn't have to wait long. 45 mins later they had glued his wound and we were on our way home. As for dinner, there wasn't a whole lot of time between baking for the street fair and trying to write a conference paper. So I revived the vegan wings but made a more kid-friendly sauce. This recipe is awesome so it was totally worth repeating.

Yay! More wings to try! And given the kids reaction to the last lot I've no doubt these will disappear just as fast (plus they come kid pre-approved which is always a bonus).

Thanks for the kid-friendly summer series recipes. Arthur is 21 months old now and exploring even more tastes and we found out last month that we are having another boy. That is all they produce in my husbands family, my mother-in-law will now have 7 grandsons. Our little one is due in October, so he and Arthur will be 2 years and 1 month apart. Sorry to hear about boy #3 and his accident, glad it was nothing to serious. Ahh the rowdiness of little boys. There will never be a dull moment in my home ever again. Ha ha. Have a terrific weekend.

Congratulations! Yes, our family produces a lot of boys, too. Family reunions are never dull.
Thanks all for the comments. I would be interested to see if they come out well for other people.

Oh noes! Glad the little one is OK. And don't you love hospital glue? (When I was little and cracked my head, I ended up with a partially shaved head and many stitches. It was traumatic. I definitely would have preferred glue.)
The wings look fantastic. I'll invite some friends over and give them a try next week.

I made these last night & they were great! My wings were a little chewy, but that is probably due to my poor measuring skills (in that I don't actually measure anything.) The chewy texture did not stop me from enjoying them one bit. I loved the sauce! It reminded me a little of baked beans. I didn't cook the sauce as long as you called for - I was hungry =) I also did not strain out the onion because I love it too much. This is a recipe I will make again!

I just made these. And ate them. My boyfriend looked at me with wide eyes and said "Wha....what ARE these?" A hit. Along with some chips in curry sauce, we had a very nice dinner. Can't wait to try more of your recipes. Think I'm going to wing an eggless salad (I had the idea, too, just never tried it), and perhaps one of your desserts. Keep them coming!

I made these tonight and we really loved them, my daughter (nearly 11) LOVED THEM. I never tried your "old" sauce so i can't compare, but this new sauce you posted ROCKS!!! I used dried minced onion and didn't bother to strain the sauce and it was WONDERFUL!!! I'm thinking next time, though, I'll trim the skewers all in half as they made it a bit unruly on my baking pan. LOL
- June 24, 2008 at 9:40 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
Glad they were a hit with the fam. I use a baking sheet to make these, but even so the skewers really could be trimmed. I tried using scissors and ended up with a splintery mess.

for softer, less rubbery seitan I use a small amount of chickpea flour ( also known as besan) in place of some of the vital wheat gluten when making any kind of seitam. It makes it softer. I would not use more than 1/4 cup besan to every 1 cp gluten. You just have to find what works for you.

You don't need me to tell you that these are amazing. My Fiance gets upset if we don't have them at least once a week. We shape them about the same you do but without the stick and call them fingers.
How do you get your wings to turn out like the picture. We've tried dipping them in the sauce, they're soggy. Tried dipping then baking more, soggy. Now we just drizzle some on the top and go at it.

dinosaur daniel,
The wingz in the pic have sauce spooned over them, and then are baked for about 5 more mins. The breading does get a little soggy. I meant to do a post on this, but I made these once not realizing I was out of bread crumbs. So, I sprayed the wingz with oil and baked them without sauce for about 3 mins per side, until they browned up a bit. Then I began basting them with sauce about every 5 mins. Turned out great. Makes me think the breading isn't needed in this recipe.

- robiewankenobie said...
ours turned out a reeeally chewy. so next time we'll try out that chickpea powder suggestion. i don't know how to go about getting the crispy that we're looking for. maybe next time we'll fry 'em up like fried chicken and then add the sauce? the sauces were fabulous, btw.
- July 27, 2008 at 7:13 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
reeeeally chewy is no good. Mine have been a bit bouncy, but not too chewy. Here is the thing--a real tender chicken-like seitan needs to be simmered. But, for the time it takes to make this recipe, I'll take a little bounce/chew. And yes, if you want crispy (like a real wing), you will need to fry. I don't think there is anyway around that. I'll bet it's pretty darn tasty.

I made just the sauce and it was so good. I am not sure why, but I have not used maple syrup in BBQ sauce before. It was great!

I made these last night, and my 4 young boys all LOVED them. They requested I make them again, which is always a sign of a good recipe! I, personally, thought they had an overwhelming 'mock meat' taste which I don't like, but the sauce was to die for. I'll definitely be making them again for my boys.
As soon as I added the water to the dry ingredients it immediately took on a real stringy feel rather than that of a dough, and I found it impossible to form them into any specific shape. I instead just tore off bite size pieces and baked them sans skewer.

My husband made these tonight for dinner. They were outstanding. We didn't have any bamboo skewers so he made them into nuggets. He also made the Hot Wingz and my son who loves spicy things thought that they were great.
Thank you for sharing your recipe.

These were beyond yummy. This was a lot for 2 of us but they reheated nicely in the toaster oven. Next batch I'm doubling and freezing half with out sauce...it's winter, I'm part squirrel, it must be done. Oh, I thought the sticks were a pain in the butt, I'm going to go stickless next time. Thank you for sharing.

I found this recipe on a friend's blog and I'm very, very glad I did.
My DH won't even know they are vegan. :)
Great recipes.
Sorry to hear about your son. I have 4 kiddos and so far we have kept away from the ER. So far... :)

I made these for a party on the weekend. Everyone loved them! And I'm glad I saved a few for leftovers for myself, having them right now!
The recipe does take a bit of work/time if you don't have anything prepared ahead of time. I had to make the worchestire sauce, the sauce, the 'chicken'. Luckily I had made some chicken broth powder a couple of weeks ago. I will oh so definitely make this again, and probably double up and freeze some for a quick dinner.

Thank you so so much for this recipe! Awesome, just awesome.
The only thing is that I cut the sugar and next time I wouldn't use it at all ... I find ketchup to be enough of a sweetener ... but I am 30 and probably lame! :)
Thanks again!!!

Some drivers complain Riverwatch Parkway is turning into more of a speedway than a roadway. (WRDW-TV / June 26, 2012)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, June 26, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's a stretch of road in Augusta that many of you drive every day. If you are heading downtown or to the medical district, most likely you'll take Riverwatch Parkway.
Some are taking to the web to take out their frustrations on what people are saying is a free zone, calling it "Riverwatch Speedway."
Driver Robert Horne likes to compare it to, "kind of like the Indianapolis 500."
Either way, you may have noticed.
"People drive crazy. They don't care how they drive going up there. They run over you and run into you," Horne said.
Recently, it's fueling complaints. Some have taken to Craigslist. They claim the guardrails tell when speeding on this 55 mph road has proven dangerous or deadly.
So, News 12 went to see for ourselves, equipped with our speed gun. We witnessed drivers going well over 55 mph and that was during rush hour.
"Nobody patrols it. It's kind of like a 'do your own thing zone,'" Horne said.
Marquitta Graham drives down the road every day for work
"Sometimes, you come out here and there are cops. I think it's like the first of every month," Graham said.
So, we took those complaints to Richmond County Sheriff's deputies who say it's a hot spot for tickets.
"Just about every day we work, he's up there. He issues several tickets," said Lt. J.R. Compton.
When asked if Graham is one of those speedy drivers, she replied, "Now you put me on the spot. Yes, I have been. Cover my license plate."
Kidding aside, parkway or speedway, drivers just fear a dangerous turn.
"I would hate for there to be a tragedy on Riverwatch if the speeding is really causing a problem," Graham said.
As for enforcement on that road, it's not one they can put speed bumps on. They ask for "voluntary compliance," meanwhile, they say they have several speed traps, but they just couldn't disclose their secrets.

The passenger was listed in critical condition. The driver received minor injuries.
Authorities said a 1-year-old child who was also in the Jeep was no injured.
The accident is under investigation.

Woman who allegedly killed neighbor's cats could face more serious charges
Published: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 4:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
A grand jury will decide whether to upgrade charges against a woman accused of killing her neighbor's cats in August.
Tina Ingram, 42, is accused of killing Amy Fondren's cats, Sipsey and Brave, by locking them hot car.
In September, Ingram pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor animal cruelty . The Prosecutor offered her a plea deal, which she declined, that would have resulted in a 90-day suspended sentence, two years of probation and a $150 fine.
The deadline to enter a guilty plea was Thursday.
Fondren learned Thursday the Tuscaloosa County District Attorney's Office plans to try for more serious charges.
"They feel like they have enough evidence to get a felony charge," Fondren said. "I'm over-the-moon excited."
Both families have moved from Sipsey Valley Townhomes in Buhl, where they lived side-by-side.

From ArachneWiki
In the context of Whole Genome Shotgun Assembly, a gap is a stretch of unknown base pairs between two known sequences. The most frequently examined gaps are between the contigs in a supercontig. Gaps may also occur within a contig (see assembly_supers.fasta).
The most important feature of a gap is its size (the gap size), which is usually not known exactly, and is thus expressed as an expected value with a standard deviation. Note that gap sizes may be negative; this corresponds to contigs overlapping without being merged, which must be an admissible option due to the possibility of polymorphism.
Gaps are found by examining the location of paired production reads in which the two reads in a pair fall on different contigs. By comparing the reads' location in their contigs against their insert size, it is possible to estimate gap sizes statistically. If a pair of contigs is joined by several read pairs, the gap size may be calculated to high precision.
In Arachne, gaps are usually represented by a pair of integers: the estimated size and the standard deviation. See for example the superb module. If they appear in fasta files, gaps are represented by N; note that this is translated into a random base when the fasta is converted to fastb.
Alternate definitions
The word "gap" may also be used to refer to a deletion in an alignment, especially in the context of alignment algorithms.
