Here is a diagram that integrate these concepts:
From the Upper Story perspective I proclaim the truth that I was born again 2,000 years ago in the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. At the same time I proclaim from the Lower Story perspective that I was born again at age 14 when the Holy Spirit opened the eyes of my heart to receive, in faith, what had been mine all along in Christ, namely, God's unconditional forgiveness, acceptance and adoption of me as his dearly beloved child.
It is vital to note that Jesus (who is God and humanity united in one person) is, in love, sovereignly present in both the Upper Story and Lower Story. He inhabits and thus defines both kairos and kronos time. In Christ there is no dualism, and thus no cause for "two-sphere thinking." It's not "either I was born again 2,000 years ago" -or- "I was born again at age 14." Rather, it is because I was born from above in Christ 2,000 years ago, that when I was enlightened by the Spirit at age 14, what was objectively true for me all along became subjectively true in my personal (14 year old) experience--a personal encounter with Christ, which in my subjective reality (personal experience) continues to grow deeper (thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit!).
Understand this: Both the objective and the subjective are real and important (God makes them so!). However, our subjective, Lower Story experience is real (meaningful) only because the objective, Upper Story reality, which undergirds it, is true, and, in fact, is the greater truth (and the truth will set you free!!).

It was a great tour outside of the city. Our tour guide provided us with a lot of good, easy to understand information. My 13 year old and 15 year old both thought it was great. We enjoyed having some time on our own in Alkmaar, combined with a tour of the town. We also learned a lot from the information our tour guide told us while on the bus. I'd highly recommend it.

Wonderful tour! I took my two 13 year old kids on this tour and this was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. The town of Alkmaar is beautiful with lots of shopping opportunities. The cheese was delicious. Our only regret is that we didn't purchase more cheese! The tour of the Windmills was incredibly interesting. We were surprised by how much we learned and enjoyed it. You can go inside the windmills and climb to the top and see first hand how they work. Very picturesque countryside. Lots of photo opportunities!! Very nice tour guide who provided much information about the Netherlands!!

Getting started with Analytics and Hadoop in DataStax Enterprise The Hadoop component in DataStax Enterprise enables analytics to be run across DataStax Enterprise's distributed, shared-nothing architecture. Instead of using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), DataStax Enterprise uses Cassandra File System (CFS) keyspaces for the underlying storage layer. Using the job tracker node DataStax Enterprise schedules a series of tasks on the analytics nodes for each MapReduce job that is submitted to the job tracker. About the Cassandra File System A Hive or Pig analytics job requires a Hadoop file system to function. For use with DSE Hadoop, DataStax Enterprise provides a replacement for the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) called the Cassandra File System (CFS). Using the cfs-archive to store huge files The Cassandra File System (CFS) consists of two layers: cfs and cfs-archive. Using cfs-archive is recommended for long-term storage of huge files. Using Hive DataStax Enterprise includes a Cassandra-enabled Hive MapReduce client. DataStax ODBC driver for Hive on Windows The DataStax ODBC Driver for Hive provides Windows users access to the information that is stored in DSE Hadoop. Using Mahout DataStax Enterprise integrates Apache Mahout, a Hadoop component that offers machine learning libraries. Using Pig DataStax Enterprise includes a Cassandra File System (CFS) enabled Apache Pig Client to provide a high-level programming environment for MapReduce coding.

In the case of autosomal dominant genes, a single abnormal gene on one of the autosomal chromosomes (one of the first 22 "non-sex" chromosomes) from either parent can cause the disease. One of the parents will have the disease (since it is dominant) in this mode of inheritance and that person is called the CARRIER. Only one parent must be a carrier in order for the child to inherit the disease.

First of all, thanks for the great job you've done so far! I've used Trinity / Macaroon since the first release and still fan of it!
Here is my questions :
- In the futur, will you implement back a "Main menu" similar as the Macaroon one that you can find in the Interface / Addons Blizzard menu (with the buttons storage, general options, etc)?
- In Macaroon, there were the possibility to customiz the "button state", button per button, for instance:
Bar 01 : [Button 01: Maccro] [Button 02: ActionID n° XX] [Button 03: Pet ActionID n°XX]
Is there a similar options at this moment? if not, will you put it back ? if not again, which options replace these features?

Help control stink bugs, fill out this survey
Mother Earth News is a great magazine with a storied history of spreading the word about sustainable growing.
They need your help in trying to figure out stink bugs. They are gathering data to find the most effective control methods for the pest.
Please take 10 minutes to fill out the survey below.
Here's the complete news release-
Publication aims to understand insect's behavior and find effective control methods
TOPEKA, Kan. (Oct. 25, 2013) – The brown marmorated stink bug is on the move, now wreaking havoc in gardens and homes from the mid-Atlantic to the Pacific Northwest. With temperatures dropping, the bugs invade homes and buildings to bed down for the winter.
Mother Earth News, the leading publication dedicated to sustainable living, today launches an online survey to better understand the insect's behavior and track effective control measures.
The Mother Earth News Stink Bug Survey covers factors such as house size and color, and characteristics of surrounding land.
Most Mother Earth News readers garden organically, so a better understanding of brown marmorated stink bug behavior is essential to helping them manage this pest. In heavily infested areas such as Maryland and northern Virginia, the bugs threaten a long list of vegetables, including beans, tomatoes and cabbage family crops. Ripening blackberries or peaches can be invaded overnight.
"Millions of gardeners and homeowners face aggravation from brown marmorated stink bugs, and thousands of those folks have tried innovative techniques for dealing with them. We wanted to set up a way for people to compare the results of their efforts," says Cheryl Long, editor in chief of Mother Earth News.
Property damage caused by brown marmorated stink bugs is also covered in the Mother Earth News Stink Bug Survey.
"We've heard reports of damaged office equipment and vehicles with air filters clogged by stink bugs. The survey will help reveal where to look for problems before the bugs cause costly repairs," Long says.
Noting that consumer reviews of purchased stink bug traps are consistently poor, the survey also asks questions about how the traps were used.
"The updated pheromone lures used in commercial stink bug traps should be quite effective, so we hope to help figure out why they're not giving better results. The devil could be in the details of where and when you set them out," Long says. "Or, they could be a waste of money."
The survey will remain open so participants can see what others have said about different control methods they have tried.

After months of calls anfibalky picking up the phone and telling the salesperson we are no longer interest, this company continued to call. When we picked up the phone after continued phone calls we simply stated that we were no longer going forward with this project. This answer did not satisfy the salesperson who wanted to engage in a conversation about why. We indicated that we did not feel we owed him an explanation, we were simply no longer in the market he became very rude when I did not respond to his further inquires and asked not to be called again. To this he responded "we'll I guess you just went on our Internet site for giggles."
I would never do business with a company that hires, trains, and continues to employ such high pressure, manipulative, disrespectful, instrusive, and rude sales personnel. We will definitely contact their corporate offices and whatever other appropriate consumer agency necessary to rid ourselves of phone calls from this or any company affiliated with them. They must think the public consists of a bunch of pushover dolts on whom they can exercise their "sales technique" prowess.

Actress Amber Heard announces she's a lesbian
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
never heard of her..but welcome to the club.
Yes, she is not very famous, but some people may remember her as the girlfriend of Seth Rogen's character in Pineapple Express and as Lila Archer, the Hollywood starlet that falls for Spencer Reid on the TV series Criminal Minds, a role I am more familiarized with since I am a huge fan of the show.
Having said that, good for her. She is cute.
"She's so beautiful. I mean, you'd have to be crazy not to want to go out with her!"
The same can be said about you Amber. Lucky is your girlfriend.
Cool. I wouldn't say closeted people are 'part of the problem' when they are the ones who are the biggest victims of the problem, but best not to nitpick! Well done
I would hearby like to announce that each morning I sprinkle sugar and a sliced up banana on my Rice Krispies. There, said it. Now the world knows, for what it's worth.
When you break the closet you wil break the back of homophobia. Its as simple as that.
Its awful hard to hate people who you know and respect and admire. Its awful easy to hate people who are ghettozied into a closet of shame and fear.
And btw, that is why hitler threw the Jews into the ghetto in the leadup to the holocaust.
And don't forget that monster has yet to be excommunicated from his absolutist horror called the catholic church.
another dumb bimbo saying she's a lesbian. she'll end up with a short butch, change her last name and mock a straight couple. How pathetic and lame.
Thanks Amber,each time the
closet door is blown open,by
one who chose to declare, "This
is who I am" it becomes less fearsome for others .
C.J you narrow minded sickness
Hmm… can we note that this person trolling as "c.j." claiming to be gay is entirely suspect. Every single post I have read from c.j. is hate-filled, ignorant or an out and out attack on an LGBT person. Yet c.j. claims to be gay.
So, yeah, c.j. not sure I do believe every person "saying" they are gay, as you write… for instance, I don't believe you.
what an immature thing to write, i'm shocked. So the truth now is called "hate-filled". Yeah, sure… whatever… very mature. Some people are just mean. You should grow up. I understand that not everybody loves the truth, they are offended by it, but it is way better to acceppt it and say it. Well we'll wait and see if she'll end up with another dyke like Ellen Degeneres. Then you will have the right to talk and say if i was right or wrong. Bye ;)
c.j., you are an arsehole. Simple as. Lunatics like you are a dime a dozen. It's all about you isn't it? In your little world. Troll off…
You're just so irrelevant to Amber Heard and the gay community so shut up. And I have the 'right' to tell you that.
Well done Amber for taking a stand.
take your prozac with a beer bitch and shut up.
You can only dream of a girl like that, but if she sees you she would probably spit in your face cose i bet you are one of those ugly short bulldykes who can't afford a harley davidson or a proper truck. ;)
…and even if you had a H.D. you would be too fat to ride it and too short to reach the pedals. :) :) :)
good for her, makes a nice change ,from all those slappers pretending to be bi to be on a lads mag.

Charter was supposed to send out a crew to bury my cable lines the week after installation, never showed, rescheduled, and finally buried the cable 3 weeks later. Two days after that I was in my yard, noticed that only half of the cable was buried, called Charter, they sent someone else out, on an "all day" appointment. Meaning, they can show up anytime between 8am and 8pm....they showed at 6pm, reburied the cable. Slightly less happy, but still ok.
A week or so later I had noticed that my speeds(I do alot of download/upload of large files) were going kinda slow. A day later, the friend that referred me mentioned that his service seemed to have slowed also. I went to Charters tech support site and looked at my service level and it said,"Bronze Service", where it had previously said,"Silver Service".
I called Charter, they said that their hands were tied, you never paid for that, the dog ate that page, we suck, lalala. They said they'd look into it and call me back. Two weeks later, they finished "researching" my account and claimed that I should have never gotten that level of service for that price. Two weeks to research? Isn't this the computer age? What kind of retards are these people? Anyways, I let it go for a few months as I was tired of sitting on my phone for hours listenning to Charters prerecorded "your call is valuable to us, please stay on the line".
So three weeks ago I leave for a trip, came back yesterday, and now I have no channels above 32. So I called Charter again, listenned to their recordings, waited on hold, finally got a person. Person tells me the same thing about my Cable TV as they told me about my internet service a few months ago,"Sorry, you never paid for that". So I ask,"What about the verbal agreement I entered into with Charter when we agreed to sign up for their service?". The tech person says,"You have no contract, you have a work order". I say,"Huh? No contract? What did the cable installer just magically end up in my backyard one day and install cable into my house?". "I had a contract, before I ever had a work order".
So then this lady says,"There's no such thing as a verbal contract". I asked her where she went to law school, then decide to be nice and just ask to speak with her manager. So she puts me on hold for another 25 minutes, then comes back on the line to tell me that she can't find her supervisor. I'm thinking, "You can't find your supervisor?"...whatever. So she says that her supervisor will call me back when available. Another half a day goes by, the supervisor calls, basically saying the same thing because, as I know, she's not a supervisor either, she's level2 customer support.
I get tired after being put on hold a few more times, after being told that it will take them another 14 days to research my account again(real paper file cabinets buried with Jimmy Hoffa perhaps?). So I ask to talk to her supervisor....she can't find him either,"He'll call you back". So this time, most the day has gone by, he calls me back, he's another customer support rep...."Can I PLEASE talk to your supervisor?". "Uhm, sir, he's not in today, but he'll be in tomorrow.
I'll forward you to his voicemail so you can leave him a message". Now I'm angry, really pissed. I say,"No, no you wont forward me to someones voicemail, you'll get your dumb a*s a pen, you'll write him a note, you'll stick it to his forehead with superglue, so that all he sees tomorrow morning is my phone number.". Hehe, then he says,"Is there anything else I can help you with today Sir?". I say,"Yes, you can send your people out here again to bury the cable in the ground that they have unsuccessfully tried to bury twice now, half of it is laying across my lawn in my backyard." He says,"Okay Sir, I'll have someone out SOMETIME on thursday". "SOMETIME?"
After all of that, I haveto say that Charter Communications, at least here in Fort Worth has got to have the poorest customer support of ANY company I've ever dealt with. If you can get something other than Charter Cable in your area, i.e.DSL, do yourself a favor and get it and avoid Charter Cable.
I've also been reading that other people have had alot of the same problems in my area recently, and if anyone is interested I'd like to possibly get together with other dissatisfied Charter customers to see what we can do about this little "monopoly" they have in our area.

Same problems, different address

When we originally subscribed, we had DirectTV, and we still had to have the basic cable service, which added $15 to the monthly bill. Last week we reeived a call that our cable service would be reduced and that we will be losing ALL channels after 32. That happened this weekend. Now we have basic local TV, that we are paying $15 per month for, plus $40 for the service. There are no other cable vendors in our city. There has to be a law regarding this monopoly! They just fixed the TXU electric problem... you would think the cable companies would be next!!
As soon as we can find an alternative for our Internet service, we will be leaving Charter!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

As far as their cable modem service it is a bit slow and their technical support is the worst. It seems their staff is underqualified and are unable to troubleshoot computer problems. I finally gave up and had their cable and internet disconnected after a Charter employee who was sent to my residence to repair my system solicited me for money for "personal" technical support. I threw him out and immediately called Charter to have their service disconnected. I now have Direct TV and DSL.

Calls not returned
AUTHOR: Dan - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 23, 2003POSTED: Monday, June 23, 2003
At 1pm I started looking to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and came across this page:
It gave an alternate phone number which Charter has requested customers call first before filing a complaint. I called, got a voicemail saying that they would call me back. I gave my full name, address and phone number. It's almost 2pm now, still no return call.
So I guess I've really tried all of Charters avenues for customer support and am still totally dissatisfied. I'd really like to fix this problem, but it's totally impossible without Charters help.
I plan to call the same number one more time after writing this followup. I'll give them another hour of my day waiting for their return call, then go ahead and file my complaint with The Better Business Bureau as I'm almost positive no one will ever call back as long as I pay my bill ontime.
Still looking for other Fort Worth Texas Charter Cable subscribers to team up with in possibly filing a class action lawsuit against Charter Communications for using "Bait and Switch" sales techniques. I know I'm not the only one as I have two other friends, including the one that recommended Charters cable service to me in the first place, that are more than happy to jump on the bandwagon with me.

Congressman Bobby Bright made a stop in Dothan to meet with constituents.
Bright was one of 11 Democrats who voted against the recent economic stimulus plan in the House. Not one Republican voted for the 650 page bill.
Bright said he feels there are worthwhile investments in infrastructure in the plan, but he's unconvinced the benefits outweigh the high costs.
"I had a package with some spending expenditures that were not good and they were rushing me to vote i decided not to vote for it that was the right thing to do," said Bright.
Bright said he would support a stimulus plan, but there needs to be some changes made before he can do so

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recently had a tip from someone I know but can only make collect calls to
us from his location.
He calls on average two times a month. This has been going on for
approximately three years.
We belong to AT&T will both local and long distance service. However a
third party billing has always been on the bill each month. AT&T told us
they have no responsibility for these charges and only process the paperwork for
ILD was one of the companies who was the billed on behalf of the third
party. These calls were expensive.
This company changed (I don't remember when) maybe a year or so ago to
Value Added Communication and the third party clearing house billing is Zero
Plus. The average collect call we receive from this person we know is only
allowed 20 minute maximum time. When the bill comes in, the charges per 20
minute call is $26.00. This collect call is from Washington State to California.
We were informed this person read a notice which we have not seen stating
there has been an error in billing and each call will be reduced by
approximately $10.00 for 20 minutes starting with our August 2011 bill. This was
hard to believe so the bill we have now shows exactly that. The same 20 minute
collect calls were just over $15.00 each. It seemed odd a company would reduce a
call by that much.
I called Zero Plus and was told they are a Clearing House and have nothing
to do with the charges even though the bill says if you have and questions
regarding this bill, to call Zero Plus at 888-507-0734. They kept telling me to call the name of
the company listed on the bill for charges called Value Added Comm. I called
800-913-6097 and could only get a
voice recording asking to input my hone number. It then says if your calling
about the collect call from Washington to call our phone provider AT&T. At no
time on this recording could you talk to a live person. It would continue to
tell you to call your phone company and the call would hang up.
I then called A&T 800-288-2020 who told me they could not do anything
about the charges since it was third party billing and to call back the Value
Added Comm. Frustrated I then called the FCC at 800-649-7570 as was told this Value Added company is
"cramming you" but they said it was not in their district and to call the
Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357.
I called them and explained everything. I again was told this was called
"cramming" and they took a complaint report from me but said their not sure how
long this could take. They needed to look for patterns and more complains.
Now I write here in hopes for some help. If their is a class action going
on for this or these companies, I want to be a part of it. At no time when these
collect calls come in does it indicate how much the call will be. We do accept
it because of the importance of this person to us. I never signed or authorized
any other company other then AT&T to handle our long distance and collect
calls. I had been used to seeing this for approximately three years and thought
where this call originates from this was the normal cost of a collect
Now that we were told of this notice posted near the pay phones where the
call is coming from has a disclaimer saying the price will drop by $10.00
because of some error, then we were at the least over charged $240.00
per year on average of two calls per month at $26.00 and now showing
$15.00. I do not think I can get a copy of this paper to see where it came from
but if you can help or tell me what else I can do, it would be
Two Federal agencies used the word "cramming" and as I was explained how it
works, I want to file action on this and hope to get the real actual rates these
calls should have been and get reimbursed the difference for all these years. I
would be glad to release more information on the person we authorize to call us
collect and address if needed but will wait for a reply first.

Customer service phone number is 800-786-8521.
Zero Plus Dialing is a clearing house billing for Value Added Comm.
The CEO is Mark Turner,
The CFO is Steve Hodge
This company is supposedly is operated in most Corrections Facilities per them. They have dodged all my questions regarding billing, how and where they get the rates. How the Federal, City, State, PUC, TDD, etc taxes are charged but not listed on bill. I was told those taxes are included in the call but not seperated on the bill. I assume this is not correct. A 20 minute call from Washington to CA averaged $26.00 total per call. As of Aug 2011, I was informed a noticed was posted in the facility telling the inmates as of Aug billing there will be a $10.00 per call reduction do to a error. My bill did come in and was $15.45 instead of $26.00. However, no one could ever verify what the correct rates are and where they are getting them from. On their web site vaci,com, you can click the box below Federal prisons and a alphabetical list of most prisons show up with so called prices. Washington showed as of 8/18 a $3.50 connect charge or fee and zero for per minutes in all columes. When I questioned Value Added rep, she replied it was a typo and came up with a ,50 cent per minute charge, This company needs to be stopped and all of us ripped off by Zero Plus, Value Added should be refunded any difference in crammed rates.

Bean sprouts play an important role since they recover your HP. Before you enter a dungeon, filled with both enemies and puzzles, you can form a party of three. Characters will be from six different classes which determine their attacks (short and long range), resistances and so on. You'll come across giant monsters and traps - which can be used against these monsters by luring them in. You'll find all kinds of loot, too. Items like weapons and armour have a 'durability' stat - they'll weaken after using them, or break entirely if you lose all their durability. When you exit dungeons, these items will recover. Poison is the only ailment in the game, but there are several different types, each of which have a specific item to cure that type.
The main quest takes about 20-30 hours to complete, but there are extra dungeons and other things to do which are not essential to the story too. Events will be fully-voiced, and Nippon Ichi producer Shogo Kozakai hopes to have some crossovers in the game, much like the ClaDun games did. There'll also be a character edit mode which will support both high res and low-res edits if you prefer your characters extra pixelly. They would like to implement a feature where you can import images from your computer as well.
System Prisma began developing Legacista on the PS3 based on feedback from their ClaDun titles, hoping to broaden their audience this time. Nippon Ichi presient Souhei Niikawa would like this title to turn into a new series.
Labyrinth Tower: Legacista already has a Japanese release date of March 15th, priced at 7140 yen ($92.75 US).

These crowns are so beautiful. They are perfectly made, with so much attention to detail. They are so sweet!
Just perfect. So pretty and comfortable. My daughter prances around the house in hers.
Perfect! We ordered two and use them when our daughter has 'dress-up play dates'!
Just lovely; my daughter and her cousin had so much fun putting this together.
My intention is to create items that are aesthetically beautiful to the child while fostering a connection to our natural world.
Hello and thank you for visiting my Etsy shop!
Dream Child Studio is a childhood dream come true for me. I have been making dolls and toys from the time I was old enough to cut paper and make simple stitches. In my craft I draw inspiration and materials from our natural world. It is my hope that these humble wonders of nature, combined with the human touch of craft, will invite a sense of wonder and appreciation for this beautiful earth and our potential to have positive interactions with nature.
In 2007 I opened my Etsy shop at the encouragement of friends and family. It was a revelation to find a community of folks as passionate as I was about providing a handmade play experience for children. Soon I was sending my dolls and toys to families and shopkeepers all over the world. Balancing the needs of my family with my desire to create was a challenge in those early years—for a mother, that's a tale as old as time. As a result, my space here at Etsy has expanded and contracted over the years to fit the time available. This ebb and flow allows me to work in harmony with the natural rhythms of family life.
I call Dream Child Studio my handmade fairy tale because it feels like my "happily ever after". In the studio I weave together my love of nature with my background in arts and education to provide you with beautiful, highly appealing pieces with enduring play value. It is a true privilege to have something of value to offer to the kingdom of childhood, and I hope my creations will also be a whimsical way for adults to revisit their own magic years.

Once I returned back to the states I got a statement from Providian stating I had a balance of 2,000 dollars. I never asked or was told that my credit limit had increased. By 2001 I got tired of this account and asked for the account to be closed. They closed the account with no problem, but two or three months later I noticed that Providian had increased my interest rate. They claim they notified me, but I never recieved anything about my interest at all.
The lady that I spoke with concerning the matter said because I was late 3 consecutive times. Which I was not, they had sent a payment through my bank and somehow there was a problem getting the check clear. Once we corrected the problem I continued to make payments.
In March I sent them a $500 payment, which my balance til this day looks to be the same. I asked the new owners about correcting the interest rate and the customer service rep. said no. There should be some law on consumers being able to increase interest rates once an account has been closed. Especially if they are still getting their payments with no problem.

Changing Lenses: Two Museums, One Exhibition
I'm no stranger to Los Angeles. Not only is it where I attended undergraduate school, it's where my husband's family lives, and where I had my first museum internship. Last month, as part of MoMA's 12-Month Internship program, I was offered the invaluable opportunity to revisit my old city from a new perspective: that of researcher. I began my trip with an ambitious laundry list of museums, galleries, and exhibitions, but what sparked my interest the most was the chance to see the exhibition Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium Read more

MoMA Collects: NASA Photographs of the Apollo Missions
The Apollo space program, which conducted 12 manned missions between 1961 and 1975, was the first to bring humans to the moon, and has become a cultural touchstone. The most famous mission, of course, is Apollo 11, when Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became the first humans to walk on the surface of the moon. Read more

A Day-by-Day Look at Katharina Gaenssler's Bauhaus Staircase photo-mural
For Ocean of Images: New Photography 2015, MoMA commissioned Katharina Gaenssler to create a photo-mural right outside the exhibition galleries on the third-floor platform of the Museum's Bauhaus Staircase, which is inspired by Walter Gropius's famous staircase in the Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany. Gaenssler photographed that stairway, as well as two works that reference it, both in MoMA's collection: Bauhaus Stairway (1932) by Oskar Schlemmer and Bauhaus Stairway (1988) by Roy Lichtenstein. She collaged the resulting thousands of pictures together in an installation that explores the relationship between MoMA and the influential modernist school, tracing the history of the Bauhaus's monumental contribution to the history of art and architecture through works of imitation and homage. In the process, she adds a new artwork to this lineage. Read more

Larger Than Life: Picasso's Sculpture through Brassaï's Lens
Many great photographers during the 20th century rose to the challenge of capturing Pablo Picasso on film—Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Douglas Duncan, Gjon Mili, and Irving Penn spring to mind. Yet only one understood Picasso through his sculptures, allowing viewers to do the same in the absence of the originals: the Hungarian-born Brassaï. Read more
Thanks to The Family of Man Fund
The Family of Man opened to the public on January 24, 1955. It included 503 works by 273 photographers hailing from 68 countries. The United States Information Agency circulated five copies of the exhibition, which were presented at 88 venues in 37 countries around the world over the next decade. In 1994, a version of the exhibition was permanently installed at the Clervaux Castle in Luxembourg, where visitors today can experience the exhibition as it was seen by more than seven million people over the last 60 years. As significant as that audience might be, it pales in comparison with the number of people who have held in their hands one of the 300,000 copies that have been sold of the accompanying catalogue, also first published in 1955.

Pet Photo Contest Cancelled — Our Dress Your Pet Like a James Bond Character photo contest has been cancelled. The contest was to promote a James Bond-themed New Years Eve event in Ballston that has since been cancelled due to a regulatory issue. Those who have already submitted photos for the contest will be contacted soon and given a consolation prize.
Arlington County high school students can now submit their entries for the 2016-2017 Vehicle Decal Design Competition.
Now in its twelfth year, the annual contest is open to all students who live or go to school in Arlington.
"This contest is an opportunity to practice your design skills, as well as participate in the workings of local government," Susan Anderson of Arlington Treasurer's Office said in a letter to students. "It is truly a unique accomplishment for all the winners to highlight on their college applications and resumes."
The letter also explained the winning design will be displayed on registration stickers on more than 160,000 vehicles and will become a part of a decal exhibit at the county administrative building.
Submissions are due to the Treasurer's Office on Nov. 30 at 5 p.m, either via e-mail or a mailed CD.
Each design should be in JPEG format and have a resolution of no less than 300 DPI. Next year's decals will have a red background with the design measuring 1.5 inches by 2.25 inches. Students must also submit an application with a short essay describing the design and why it visually represents Arlington. More detailed submission instructions are available on the county's website.
After the submission period closes, a "Citizens Panel" will select four finalists — each will receive a cash prize — to be announced on the county's website on Dec. 10. Residents will then vote for their favorite design online or by mailing a paper ballot to the Sun Gazette newspaper.
Voting will be open for approximately five weeks, and the winner is expected to be announced at a County Board meeting on Jan. 26, 2016.
Last year's design contest winner was "A Nod to History" by Yorktown High School student Tommy Casey.

The student behind the winning entry will receive $750 from John Marshall Bank. The other three finalists will receive $500.

A 9-year-old boy wearing an Arlington County Police Department t-shirt may not seem like a symbol of authority. But for today, he is.
This morning Police Chief M. Douglas Scott swore in Patrick Omberg, the winner of the inaugural "Chief-for-the-Day" essay competition.
"Today is National Night Out, so Patrick you're going to work until about 10:00 or 11:00 tonight," Scott joked during his speech at the ceremony.
Outside the police department in Courthouse, 9-year-old Patrick Omberg took an honorary police oath, read an excerpt of his winning essay and received a commemorative plaque before standing for pictures with police and his parents.
On July 8, the Arlington County Police Department announced the contest, which they plan to hold every year from now on. ACPD asked for essay submissions from children, ages 8 to 12, that answered the question: "What does it mean to be a police officer?"
"Based on his essay, it was a pretty easy selection for us," ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said. "Even at 9 years old, he seemed to have a good understanding of the police and for our role in the community."
Omberg said that he wrote about how "the police keep people safe" in his essay, and although he doesn't know if he wants to be a police officer, he was having fun as an honorary chief. He didn't have to wrangle drunken pub-crawlers or chase down criminals, but Omberg did get a glimpse at the inner workings of the police department.
"We wanted to show him what life in the Arlington County Police Department could be like," Sternbeck said. "We want to build positive relationships in the community. It's been a great experience for us just as much as [it has been] for him."
Before the ceremony, police picked up Omberg from his house in a patrol car and guided him on a tour of the police station, where they took his fingerprints and introduced him to their K-9 unit.
"My favorite part was seeing the dogs," Omberg said.
"Do you remember what his name was?" Omberg's father, Peter, asked his son.
"Drogo," Omberg said, although the rising fourth-grader didn't seem to get the "Game Of Thrones" reference in the name.
To cap off his day, Omberg would look at the station's booking department with the sheriffs and have lunch with Scott, Sternbeck said.
"I can use all the help I can get," Scott said at the ceremony. "So having someone like you help me [for today], is very much appreciated."

Arlington Hailed as 'Suburb of the Future' — Arlington has been transformed from a "sleepy suburb" into a "mid-size city" but has managed to reduce the volume of traffic on main streets, according to an article entitled "The Suburb of the Future is Here." Says Brookings Institution fellow Christopher Leinberger: "Arlington is the most important suburban place in the country… If you don't understand Arlington, you don't understand the future of the country."

The Arlington Police Beneficiary Association is asking Arlington middle- and high-schoolers to design a T-shirt for Police Week in May.
Students are asked to submit designs for the theme "Honoring the Fallen By Remembering Their Sacrifice," by Friday, April 4 at 3:00 p.m. Designs are asked to be drawn in marker — with no more than four colors — on a sheet of letter paper. The winning designs will be printed for shirts during Police Week, May 11-17.
The grand prize for the contest is $100 gift card, a press release with the winner's name and school in it and a free T-shirt with the winning design. Each school's School Resource Officer will be collecting the submissions, which will be printed on the back of black and/or blue shirts.
A new congressional initiative will allow Arlington high school students to build apps and enter them in a national competition.
Rep. Jim Moran's (D-Va.) district, which covers Arlington, Alexandria and parts of Fairfax County, is eligible to compete in the first House Student App Challenge. The contest was created to allow high school students to engage in Science Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education and innovation by creating a software application for any platform.
The competition is open to the districts whose Representatives decide to participate, and Moran says the 8th District of Virginia is suited to excel.
"Northern Virginia parents, teachers, and administrators have made enormous investments in challenging and reinforcing the STEM abilities of our students," said the congressman. "Because of this tremendous exposure, our children are uniquely qualified for this competition."
Students 13 and older must register and submit a YouTube or Vimeo video demonstration of their app by April 30. The winner will have the video displayed on House.gov and will receive a certificate of excellence.
Apps will be judged on the quality of the idea, programming skill and implementation. Individuals or teams of up to four students can compete. Moran's website has a list of developer tools and resources for students and teachers interested in competing.
"The U.S. is facing a shortage of 1 million STEM graduates in the next 10 years, a decade that is estimated to create 8.5 million STEM job opportunities," Moran's office wrote in a press release. "The House Student App Challenge seeks to address this challenge by encouraging students to create their own app and pursue an education in STEM fields."
Arlington County has selected its 2014-2015 vehicle decal.
"Crystal Fountain" was the top vote-getter in the annual decal contest, which is decided by votes from residents — 1,409 votes this year, to be precise. The decal was designed by Wakefield High School senior Mobin Fateh. It depicts a scene in the Crystal City Water Park on Crystal Drive.
The decal will grace the windshields of about 160,000 vehicles in Arlington starting this summer.
"I took this picture of Arlington because I like the colors reflected in the fountain," Fateh said. "The different colors also represent the diversity in Arlington. I'm grateful to be living in such a beautiful and diverse community as Arlington."
Five finalists were chosen for the contest this year, from a pool of 50 entries. A panel of Arlington residents helped narrow them down. The four decal finalists who didn't make the final cut were:
- Mark Love, 9th Grader at Yorktown High School, with his design "Education is a Virtue"
- Isabel George, 12th Grader at Wakefield High School, with her design "Arlington's Namesake"
- Lena Mobin, a 12th Grader at Wakefield High School, with her design "Arlington's Bright Lights"
- Gabrielle Young, an 11th Grader at Washington-Lee HS, with her design "Netherlands Carillon"
"This was quite a task for our Citizens' Panel," said Chief Deputy Treasurer Carla de la Pava. "There were so many great entries that we ended up with five finalists instead of four."
The finalists have been chosen for Arlington's annual Decal Design Competition and residents will have the chance to choose a favorite later this week.
The contest is open to all Arlington high school students and a citizens' panel typically narrows down the entries to four finalists. This year, however, five finalists were named because the voting resulted in a tie.
The winning 2014-2015 decal will be announced at a County Board meeting early next year and will be affixed to about 160,000 car windshields beginning next summer.
Each student included a description of his or her design. Excerpts from each are below:
- Education is a Virtue — "I think my photograph of the Arlington Education Center and the Planetarium represent Arlington's important focus on students and education."
- Netherlands Carrillon — "To me, Arlington represents community and pride. I wanted to depict something in my photo that brings both to mind for me."
- Arlington's Namesake — "The Arlington House and Arlington National Cemetary together help to show the abudance of history that Arlington County has."
- Crystal Fountain — "The different colors also represent the diversity in Arlington. I'm grateful to be living in such beautiful and diverse community as Arlington."
- Arlington Landmark — "To me, it's light symbolizes Arlington's dreams and opportunities. My years in Arlington have showed me that I can grow into whoever I want to be."
The Arlington County Treasurer's Office is still updating its website with the decals and the unedited descriptions each student wrote. Residents will be able to vote for their favorite starting on Thursday and running through January 19.
An ART bus will be more colorful for the next year, thanks to the winner of the ARTists for PAL Bus Design Contest.
County Board Chair Walter Tejada and County Manager Barbara Donnellan joined in a ceremony on Thursday for the unveiling of the winning bus wrap. They recognized Annemarie Dougherty, who will be an 8th grader at St. Agnes Catholic School in the fall, for her winning design.
Dougherty offered the following description of her design:
"My picture on the bus incorporates the 'Be a PAL' theme because the cars, bikes and people are sharing the space and are aware of the street signs. This shows that it is equally important for pedestrians, bikers and drivers to watch out for each other and their surroundings. In addition the street is green reminding people to walk or bike more."
The contest asked middle and high school students to submit designs in line with the theme "Share Our Streets — Be a PAL." The 26 entries were narrowed down to three finalists and Arlington residents were able to vote online for their favorite.
The newly wrapped bus will be on display at the Arlington County Fair this weekend. After that, it will take to the streets and will remain decorated for about one year.
All of the other contest entries are on display inside the bus.
Arlington residents are being asked to pick the winner of a student design contest.
The "ARTists for PAL Bus Design Contest" challenged Arlington middle and high school students to create a design to be wrapped around an ART bus later this year. The theme of the design is based around Arlington's "Share Our Streets — Be a PAL" pedestrian and driving safety initiative.
Three finalists (below) were chosen from the 26 entries received by the county. Residents can vote for their favorite online. Voting ends on July 4 and the winner will be announced later this summer.
The winning design will adorn one ART bus for "about a year."
Gourmet Deli Coming to Ballston — Taylor Gourmet, a Philadelphia-inspired hoagie shop, will be opening its first Arlington location.

So far, only about 250 people have signed the online pledge to use tap water instead of bottled water. [Sun Gazette]

How to Get a Job in Healthcare — A panel presentation at Arlington Central Library on Wednesday will discuss "opportunities, needs and challenges in the health and medical career fields with a special focus on Northern Virginia." The event is targeted to job seekers. "While we like to think that ALL Library events are memorable, this one probably could change a few lives, judging from the job markets," said library spokesman Peter Golkin.

Uglies Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
The forest to either side was a black void full of wild and ancient trees, nothing like the generic carbon-dioxide suckers that decorated the city. (7.33)
There's some hint here that the trees in the city might be genetically engineered or at least severely managed: notice how they "decorated the city," as if they were, well, decorations. Note also that the trees in the city have a purpose, like any other tool. No nature for the sake of nature here
Quote #2
Being in the city all the time made everything fake, in a way. Like the buildings and bridges held up by hoverstruts, or jumping off a rooftop with a bungee jacket on, nothing was quite real there. She was glad Shay had taken her out to the ruins. If nothing else, the mess left by the Rusties proved that things could go terribly wrong if you weren't careful. (9.49)
What's funny about this quote (besides the idea that things can go terribly wrong, that's always hilarious) is that Tally has this feeling pretty early in the book—and she still wants to go back to the city and be made pretty. We learn something about her priorities: she would rather live in a pretty, fake world right now.
Quote #3
"But it's a trick, Tally. You've only seen pretty faces your whole life. Your parents, your teachers, everyone over sixteen. But you weren't born expecting that kind of beauty in everyone, all the time. You just got programmed into thinking anything else is ugly."
"It's not programming, it's just a natural reaction." (10.68-9)
This is one constant argument between Tally and, well, the entire Smoke: are the pretties pretty because of biological reasons or for cultural reasons? If you buy Tally's argument, the pretty surgery just brings out what we naturally like; but if you buy Shay's argument, there's nothing natural about what we find pretty. Notice that each argument revolves around the idea of what's natural. (People love to say that their argument is based on nature, like "Mountain Dew was made by nature to be yummy." Be skeptical. We're pretty sure a caveman would think Mountain Dew was poison.)
