Villa Sungai - our luxury two bedroom Villa at Harmony Villas - is designed in modern minimalist style to celebrate tropical sophistication and endorse the healthy benefits of fresh air and natural lighting with an open living, dining and kitchen space overlooking an ocean of rice with a small stream below. It's a perfect spot to spend hours relaxing and swimming in the beautiful infinity pool right on the edge of the raised bluff. Your stay includes a fabulous daily breakfast and full staff services.
The Villa is a granite, stone, terrazzo and bamboo masterpiece with a soaring ceiling structure that's a work of art in itself. The master bedroom is a sanctuary for adult relaxation while the second bedroom is set up with either twin beds for accompanying children or a double for adults. Two en-suite bathroom facilities features rain showers for luxurious bathing experiences. The kitchen is well equipped for casual food preparation or a more elaborate dinner. The living room is tastefully furnished for relaxation with a large teak dining table and traditional Javanese sofa.
The huge 15 meter infinity pool at Harmony on the edge of the rice fields is only steps away from your private villa through Harmony's lush landscaping. The pool is situated on the very edge of the bluff overlooking the rice and has a shallow end seating area for relaxing after you've done your laps! It's central for use by the five villas at Harmony yet due to its size and differing guest schedules, it's rare not to have it to yourself. We don't have pool hours so feel free to take a moonlight swim at 3 am!
One of the favorites of Sungai's guests is to awaken before dawn and watch the early light lift the mist over the ocean of rice a few meters below the expansive deck with coffee in hand. It's an experience like no other in Bali. Stay long enough and you'll experience the whole cycle of rice cultivation from planting to harvesting and the local religious festivals celebrating Bali's unique cultural heritage.
Your villa stay includes a daily cooked breakfast (for up to four people), free wifi, a laptop sized safe, fully equipped kitchen, towels, TV/DVD, parking, laundry (by arrangement), daily staff services, a yoga deck, lush landscaping and the priceless ambiance of the Harmony lifestyle.
Enjoy a wonderful daily cooked breakfast prepared in your villa each morning of delicious pancakes or eggs, fresh tropical fruit tea or coffee and juice to start your day in paradise! Breakfast will be prepared in your villa each morning from 8-11am. If you would like to change breakfast times, please ensure you notify our villa manager at check in so we can accommodate you.
Villa Sungai is located on the edge of a huge rice paddy in the village of Lodtunduh, about 2 km from Central Ubud and only 1.7km from the famous Monkey Forest and all the world class shopping on Hanuman Street and the cultural activities and restaurants in Ubud. We are very centrally located for all of Bali's sights and activities. Sanur beach is close (about 12 miles) and Seminyak. Kuta and Legian are easy drives for a whole day out with a different vibe. Or you can go up the hill to Kintamani and the hot springs at Lake Batur in an hour or so. Temples abound everywhere - from Besakih, the "Mother Temple" to Tanah Lot on the ocean (two of the most famous and holy) and we can organize tours to anywhere on the island and to Lombok too....
Staff at the villa will help you with all your needs arranging tours and sightseeing, car or scooter rental, personal laundry and itineraries as well as giving you tips for the best shopping and massage in Ubud. A private chef can also be arranged to cook you traditional Indonesian cuisine right in the privacy of your own villa in your fully equipped kitchen. Or, if you would like to do it yourself, book a private cooking class. Our chef is very reasonable and an amazing cook! We can also organize lunch or evening dining in your villa - just ask our staff at check in and they'll take good care of you.
For those wishing to cook for themselves, we are only one mile away from the main supermarket (Coco supermarket) so you'll be able to stock up with local provisions.
Our village is still mostly agricultural and its a fascinating place to experience real Bali village life which can't be found in touristy areas of Bali such as Kuta or Seminyak. That's the lovely thing about our area of Lodtunduh village.
You'll likely encounter ceremonies, celebrations, weddings, a cremation perhaps (a big event in Bali) , the local temple festivals. But most of all you'll see (depending on when you visit) the fascinating cycle of rice farming from preparing the fields, planting seedlings, thinning out the new rice, watching the ducks do their amazing dances, to harvesting, threshing and drying. You'll see the village men parade their fowl and perhaps experience a cockfight - you may not approve but its very much part of village life here. And you can wager and maybe win if you want!
There's a taxi service right in our village to take you to and from the airport (about $24) and into town (about $4) a few minutes away and we can also rent you scooters (and helmets!) for about $6 per day. There's free parking at the villa.
It's cooler in the Ubud area than the beach. A/C is not needed at Harmony due to our location right on the edge of the rice fields. We almost always get a breeze and Sungai has 4 powerful overhead fans and a high ceiling to keep the air flowing. The breezes complemented by ceiling fans are usually enough to keep you cool even at the warmest time of year. You'll find our open tropical design for indoor/outdoor living works for your comfort.
The Villa is available for daily rental (2 night minimum please) or longer. Please ask us for rates for longer term stays (over 10 days) We do not have a set check in or out time to meet your needs if you are coming from outside of Bali. We can arrange airport pickup and drop off for you for a reasonable charge.
*** Please also note we must collect a 10% Indonesian government hotel tax payable upon check in which is payable in US$ or Indonesian Rupiah.
Although we welcome children (our pool has a children's bathing area), Harmony isn't designed specifically as a child safe property so you will need to be responsible for them at all times.
We can also arrange the following services:
• Yoga classes
• Massage
• Car rental
• Car and driver
• Scooter rental
• Bike rental
• Laundry service (Extra charge)
• Tours and sightseeing
• Airport pickup and delivery (Extra charge)
Staff will meet you upon arrival at Harmony, show you to your villa and provide you with keys, wi-fi password and the house manual with suggestions on all the local sights to see, restaurants to visit and local tours for enhancing your stay.
... and finally .... enjoy the wonderful cycle of the rice paddies! Depending on when you visit you'll see the fascinating cycle of rice farming from preparing the fields, planting seedlings, thinning out the new rice, watching the ducks do their amazing dances, to harvesting, threshing and drying. It's one of the best things about visiting Harmony! The cycle is fascinating to watch no matter when you come!

Guest Access
Guests can use all the facilities at Harmony. The infinity pool and deck on the edge of the ricefields is very large and shared with the other villas but always feels private. Due to its size and differing guest schedules, you'll find it's rare not to have it to yourself. All our villas are private and Sungai has an expansive deck with the best view in Ubud. You'll enjoy endless views as far as the eye can see from the pool and yoga deck.
Interaction with Guests
I'm not always in Bali as I travel extensively myself, but our onsite staff are really wonderful and will treat you like family (we have day time staff and night time security). If I'm lucky to be staying while you're there, I'm always available to give you tips and pointers on the best way to maximize your stay in Ubud and Bali.

Getting Around
There's a taxi service right in our village to take you to and from the airport (about $30) and into town (about $5) a few minutes away and we can also rent you scooters (and helmets!) for about $6 per day. There's parking at the villa. Please note although the airport is only about 20 miles away it can take about an hour and a half. The roads are small and there's a lot of traffic in Bali!
Other Things to Note
Ubud is a gastronomic paradise with virtually every kind of food available just a few minutes from Harmony. Many offer take out and delivery, so you can eat in your villa, under the stars on your private deck, or on the pool deck. Our amazing private chef is available (by arrangement) to cook for you or give you Balinese cooking lessons.
Harmony is open to nature and you should expect visits from insects and lizards in our tropical climate. There are very few animals that are dangerous even although they may look so! But be prepared to be close to nature in all its beauty.
Villa Sungai is one of five villas at Harmony and while Harmony is large enough so each Villa is private, it's small enough for community. We don't have a lot of rules except have maximum fun and relaxation
We ask you respect other guests privacy as they will yours and please don't smoke except on your private deck (not inside the villa). There's some basic stuff about being in a tropical environment; our staff will advise you on arrival.
Daily breakfast will be provided each morning between 8-11am. If you'd like to change or request specific breakfast times, please ensure you notify staff at check in.
Villa towels will be replaced every 3 days. If you'd like them changed more frequently, please make sure to let our staff know.
Please also note that although we love children (our pool does have a children's bathing area) Harmony is not specifically designed to be a child safe property and if you do book with children you will need to be responsible for them at all times..
We do have a few suggestions though....
We like to suggest you support the village shops where you can buy beer and snacks from the locals rather than going into town.
We have a resident dog called Trixie. She's a real sweetheart. Enjoy her.
Watch the rice... it's mesmerizing.

|High-Order Membrane Complexes from Activated G-Protein Subunits
Many physiological processes initiated in response to external (extracellular) signals such as hormones, neurotransmitters, or light are regulated by a complex dance involving GTP-binding (G) proteins: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), proteins integral to the cell membrane, sense the signal and activate G proteins in the cellular cytoplasm, but enzymes such as G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) inhibit the activity of the G proteins. A joint University of Michigan–University of Illinois, Chicago, team has determined the first structure of a particular G-protein–GRK2 complex. The structure in combination with previous structures of related G-protein complexes shows how Nature has evolved the G-protein structure to not only propagate activation signals but at the same time also directly respond to regulatory proteins that control the duration of the signal.
The G proteins are heterotrimers consisting of three subunits (α, β, and γ). GPCRs activated by the extracellular signal catalyze nucleotide exchange on G proteins, thereby converting the inactive (GDP-bound) Gαβγ heterotrimer into activated Gα·GTP and Gβγ proteins. These subunits then interact with downstream proteins called effectors to elicit an appropriate intracellular response. For example, activation of receptors coupled to Gq leads to formation of Gαq·GTP and Gβγ, which in turn bind to and stimulate phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ). Gq represents one of the four subfamilies of the Gα subunit (Gαs, Gαt, Gαq, and Gα12/13).
In order to adapt to new extracellular conditions, Gq-coupled receptors are desensitized by enzymes such as GRK2, which not only add phosphate groups to (phosphorylate) activated GPCRs, initiating their down-regulation, but also sequester activated Gαq and Gβγ subunits from PLCβ and presumably other effectors. In order to better understand the arrangement of heterotrimeric G proteins in complex with GRK2, the Michigan–Illinois team crystallized the Gαq-GRK2-Gβγ complex. After visiting three different beamlines, the team obtained the best diffraction data at ALS Beamline 8.3.1, which allowed them to solve the structure at a resolution of 3.1 Å by the molecular-replacement method.
The Gαq-GRK2-Gβγ structure is the first structure obtained to date of Gαq; it also reveals for the first time the configuration of activated Gα and Gγβ subunits at the cell membrane. In the Gαq-GRK2-Gβγ complex, activated Gαq is completely dissociated from Gβγ and undergoes a dramatic, approximately 105° rotation with respect to its position in the Gαβγ heterotrimer. Because GPCRs also interact with GRK2, the Gαq-GRK2-Gβγ structure supports the hypothesis that high-order complexes consisting of receptors, G proteins, and effectors assemble at the cell membrane in response to extracellular stimuli, in this case with GRK2 serving as the scaffold.
GRK2 interacts with Gαq through its regulator of G-protein-signaling (RGS) homology (RH) domain. Many other proteins with RH domains (e.g., RGS4) function as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for Gα subunits, thereby terminating signal transduction by converting the GTP back to GDP. However, the RH domain of GRK2 interacts with Gαq in a manner that is inconsistent with that of a GAP. Instead, the GRK2 RH domain binds to an analogous site on Gαq used by the enzymes adenylyl cyclase or cGMP phosphodiesterase to bind Gαs or Gαt, respectively. This binding site could mean that GRK2, like PLCβ, is in fact a downstream effector target of Gαq. In support of this hypothesis, GRK2 does not appear to impede the binding of RGS4 to Gαq. Therefore, RGS proteins such as RGS4 potentially also participate in the high-order membrane complexes assembled by GRK2.
With the Gαq-GRK2-Gβγ structure, each of the four Gα subunit families has been structurally characterized. Moreover, structures of effector complexes involving each of these subfamilies have been determined. Comparison of these complexes reveals remarkable similarities in how structurally unrelated effectors bind to Gα subunits. Remarkably, each of these effector complexes leaves room for the simultaneous binding of a GAP (such as RGS4). This feature explains how Gα subunits can propagate signals, while remaining responsive to regulatory proteins that control the duration of the signal.

Another Successful Week in the Books
It has been another fun-filled week in Hatterland. Stetson teams are competing and practicing, the crush of new students seems to have settled in and things are moving along smoothly.
I saw a tweet on Monday from a good friend, Troy University head athletics trainer Chuck Ash (@chuckdiesel01). Of course, Monday was Labor Day, and most folks around the country got to take the day off from work.
That is not the case in college athletics for most folks, especially if football is a part of your life. Chuck tweeted that he was laboring on Labor Day for the 38th consecutive year.

Republicans have not given up on creative ways to rig the Electoral College before the 2016 presidential election. In Pennsylvania, Republican lawmakers are planning to introduce a vote-rigging scheme that would give a GOP presidential candidate electoral votes without having to win a majority of the popular vote.
No Republican has won any electoral votes in Pennsylvania since 1988.
The new vote-rigging scheme is a variation of a plan that was floated last month, which would have awarded electoral votes based on congressional district alone. In the new plan, electoral votes would be divided by percentage of popular vote.
For example, if the Republican candidate won 40 percent of the popular vote, they would get 40 percent of the electoral votes, instead of the current system, where the winner of the popular vote takes all of the state's electoral votes.
Under the new Pennsylvania Electoral College plan, eight of Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes would have gone to Mitt Romney in 2012, even though he lost the popular vote to Barack Obama by 5.4 percent.
The legislation that would give of portion of Pennsylvania's electoral votes to the losing candidate is being introduced by State Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, a Republican.
Attempting to change the way electoral votes are awarded in a presidential election is unprecedented in modern American history. Not since the 12th Amendment, enacted in 1804, has any political party attempted to significantly tamper with the Electoral College process.
"Since the Electoral College process is part of the original design of the U.S. Constitution, it would be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to change this system," according to US Government archives.
However, over the past 209 years, state legislatures have changed the way they use their power, and are now expanding it to circumvent the Constitution. Attempts by Pennsylvania lawmakers to alter the Electoral College in 2013 is evidence of that.
Yet Pennsylvania is not alone in its efforts to rig the Electoral College to favor the candidate of a particular political party. Among Republican-controlled swing states, vote-rigging in has become an epidemic. Since Democrat Barack Obama won a second term in the 2012 elections, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Michigan have all considered legislating changes to electoral vote calculations that could alter the outcome of elections, despite a candidate losing the popular vote.
Awarding electoral votes to a candidate with fewer popular votes alters the value of the votes themselves. The changes that have been suggested in Pennsylvania, for example, gives more electoral weight to fewer votes in rural areas, while discounting the power of votes in more populated urban areas.
The Electoral College changes Pennsylvania Republicans want reflects the demographic support of the Republican Party, whose base consists primarily of conservative voters in sparsely populated parts of the country. Simply put, the votes of more liberal voters in big cities would not count as much as they do in the current, winner-take-all system. It's legislative vote-rigging.
If the candidate who gets the most votes does not win the election, it is a fundamental attack on democracy and the design of the Constitution.
Republican pundits who have tried to brand Barack Obama as a socialist have failed to objectively label their own governing actions, which in the case of Pennsylvania state legislators, is something much worse. Rigging elections is what happens in dictatorships.

ALBANY – Despite widespread belief by Democrats and Republicans that he might inject himself into the internal partisan wrangling in the State Senate, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Thursday that he has "no intention" in getting involved in the power struggle.
Democrats, in unofficial results, appear to have won enough seats to regain control of the Senate. There are two, and possibly three, seats still in play, though, and final results may not be known for weeks as paper ballots are recounted.
The situation is made murky because there are four Democrats who two years ago broke away from the main Democratic conference to form their own caucus, and both Democrats and Republicans are already angling to try to woo them to join with them. Republicans say they are open to forming a coalition-type Senate with the help of the four Democrats, who are keeping their plans secret for now.
"It's more complicated than it used to be," Cuomo said Thursday about the Senate. Instead of just Democratic and Republican conferences, "Now it's more of a coalition because [there are] three groups instead of just two" because of the existence of the four-member Independent Democratic Conference.
Cuomo said he believes that the Senate Democrats are aware they lost control of the Senate two years ago "because of the dysfunction" that characterized their two-year reign that began after the 2008 elections. "I think they learned that lesson the hard way," Cuomo said of the Senate Democrats.
Senate Democrats, who have had cool relations over the last two years because of Cuomo's coziness with the Senate GOP, privately say they think that the governor eventually will get involved behind the scenes to persuade the four renegade Democrats to join with the main Democratic conference to put his party in control of the Senate.
But one Senate Democrat said that no one should assume anything about the governor.
"I never presume what the governor decides is or isn't his role," said Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan. But she said Democratic control of the Senate "will help him ensure" that some of his policy objectives are realized in the coming session.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - The Central Mountain high school girls basketball team was in the wrong place at the wrong time Wednesday night.
The Lady Wildcats visited Hollidaysburg, which was coming off its first loss of the season to Seton LaSalle Saturday.
The Lady Tigers got back on track in a big way, 66-19, in a game that featured a running clock, which is instituted when a team takes a 40-point lead, midway through the third quarter until the final horn.
"We thought of this as a revenge game," Hollidaysburg's Morgan Griffith said. "We wanted to get back out there and get back to winning. We definitely used losing [Saturday] to our advantage."
Griffith scored 18 of her game-high 23 points in the first half and left the game for good after making a layup with 3:12 to play in the third quarter.
"She's a great athlete," Central Mountain coach Lindsey Rogers said. "She's got good size, and she's a tough player. I think that our girls didn't rise to the occasion against her, but I give her a lot of credit too."
Hollidaysburg scored the first six points of the game and never trailed. Central Mountain (5-12) shot just 2-of-11 from the field in the first quarter and committed 12 turnovers by halftime.
"On-the-ball defense is where we start," Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck said. "If we have good on-the-ball defense, then the rest of our defenses click. I thought once we were aggressive on the ball, it made our defense work."
After taking a 35-11 lead into the locker room, Hollidaysburg's starters pulled a short encore in the second half. Morgan Jennings scored six quick points to bring her game total to 12, Hannah Mercer hit a 3-pointer, grabbed four rebounds and finished with a game-high 10 boards and Susie Ellis scored her first basket of the game with a 3-pointer to make the score 48-13.
"I look at this game, and it's definitely a game I think we could have played better," Rogers said. "We could have scored and rebounded better, but we need to learn from this, because we play Hollidaysburg again."
Hollidaysburg (12-1) put its junior varsity team in during the fourth quarter and still managed to outscore the Lady Wildcats starters, 8-3. Emily Haupt and Kiki Davis hit 3-pointers for the Lady Tigers.
Hollidaysburg starting point guard Alexia Servello missed the game due to an injury she suffered against Seton LaSalle, and is day-to-day according to Jubeck.
"The majority of what we talked about in the locker room before the game and in practice this week was that we had a great effort against Seton LaSalle Saturday, but we got a monkey on our back and our first loss," Jubeck said. "It was time to come out and come out strong. We made sure we got off to a good start and got back into the win column."

By KATHERINE COBB
HARPERS FERRY — There are about 500 miles of named hiking trails in West Virginia and a good number of them are right in Jefferson County.
The Appalachian Trail (AT) crosses through Jefferson and Monroe counties while the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O) tow path meanders along the river near Shepherdstown. Start a hike in Harpers Ferry and find yourself across the river overlooking the quaint town about an hour later. Nature hikes, scenic hikes, hikes that are easy or hard, it's all available right in your own backyard.
There are numerous benefits to hiking. The American Hiking Society states that hiking can stem heart disease, decrease hypertension, decrease cholesterol levels while increasing HDL (the good cholesterol), decrease weight by burning calories, slow the aging process and prevent aging of the immune system.
Hiking also improves osteoporosis by increasing bone density; improves and maintains mental health by producing calming brain chemicals called endorphins and improves the air you breathe by replacing short car trips with non-polluting walking. The Association also claims that hiking can prevent and control diabetes, improve arthritis and may relieve back pain.
Maybe the best reasons to hike are that it's fun, gets you outdoors and almost anyone can do it. Spring and fall months in the Panhandle provide perfect hiking weather with sunny days, low humidity and moderate heat. Be sure to wear comfortable but sturdy shoes, carry water and snacks with you to prevent dehydration and hike in groups, not alone.
The area's hiking options are numerous and vary in degree of difficulty. You can choose self-guided hikes or pick an outfit offering guided hikes for a fee.
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail wanders the ridges and valleys of the Appalachian mountain ranges. Whether you hike the AT for an afternoon, a weekend, or a season, the resources available on its Web site will help you plan a safe and enjoyable trip.
For a low to moderate hike, consider the four-mile stretch that takes you to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and Jefferson Rock, well-traveled areas that are popular. From the north, the trail enters West Virginia at Harpers Ferry by way of a footbridge over the Potomac River. The trail passes within just a quarter-mile of the Appalachian Trail Conference headquarters, then crosses the Shenandoah River, ascending the Blue Ridge at Loudoun Heights, and straddling the Virginia-West Virginia border for the next fifteen miles.
The Appalachian Trail Conference Information Center, located on the first floor of the Harpers Ferry headquarters building, is open to the public year-round, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for most federal holidays. From mid-May through October, they are also open weekends and holidays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.appalachiantrail.org or call 535-6331.
The 184.5-mile-long C&O Canal was built between 1828 and 1850. It operated sporadically until 1924. After efforts were made, and thwarted, to convert it to a parkway, President Richard Nixon designated it a National Historical Park in 1971.
Ever since, the canal has been a haven for hikers, joggers and bikers who come by the millions every year to enjoy the natural, cultural and recreational opportunities available.
The C&O Canal tow path follows the Potomac River between the two historic towns of Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry. Hikers can pick up the tow path in various locations. The most popular point of entry can be accessed by heading north on Route 480 from Shepherdstown towards Sharpsburg, Md., and turning right on Canal Road immediately after crossing the Potomac River. Follow the signs to the convenient parking lot. Contact the C&O Canal NHP Headquarters at 301-739-4200 for park maps, which highlight access points and visitor centers.
Maryland Heights is a popular, but rewarding, trek (1.5 miles) that begins in Harpers Ferry but soon leads hikers across the river via a bridge and up the mountain on the other side. The often steep climb to the heights follows a worn military road, leftover from the Civil War, that winds its way up the mountain and turns onto a narrower path leading down to the cliffs overlooking the historic town of Harpers Ferry.
Towering at 1,448 feet, the cliffs offer a spectacular view of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, Harpers Ferry National Park and the unique visual perspective of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
An additional trail leads hikers even further up to investigate the ruins of many Civil War fortifications. Infantry trenches, artillery redoubts, ammunition pits and military camps once extended across the heights.
If you are interested in a specific trail or want to investigate other regional hiking trails, visit www.wvtrails.com and perform a trail search. Choose from provided trail lists, or search by type of activity or general location. It will provide the trail description, type, length, county and region where it's located, trail head, rating (easy, moderate, strenuous) and provide contact and map information if available.
If a guided hike appeals to you, River and Trail Outfitters, located near Harpers Ferry, features half-day or day hikes for groups of ten or more for a fee.
The benefit of guided hikes is many: they know where they're going so you don't have to do any research, you get an education about the trails and region you're hiking and they provide additional amenities, such as transportation, food and beverages.
River and Trail Outfitters offers a Maryland Heights Overlook Hike, a Survival Hike (teaching you the skills you need to survive if you get lost in the woods and perfect for Scouts and others looking to familiarize themselves with the wilderness) and the
Burkittsville Witch Hike (stemming from the box office hit "The Blair Witch Project,î" this
hike starts at dusk and leads hikers through a path trailing through the woods on the ridge looming above the town of Burkittsville, Md., where hikers let their imaginations run wild as guides fills their minds with true ghost tales of this area rich in Civil War history.) The outfitter also offers Wildflower Hikes available in spring only.

Focus on the Lord and Life's Petty Distractions Fade Away
5/17/2013, noon
Have you ever been totally out of control? Or better yet, has your life seemed so full of twists and turns, with people coming and going and events happening so quickly, you don't know if you're coming or going? Frightening isn't it, particularly, if it includes pain and anguish, death and tragedy, a broken heart or perhaps a broken spirit?
If the truth be told, it kind of makes you wonder about life's purpose. You can become a cynic or a skeptic of all things and people. At its worst, your life seems to leave you in quagmires of discontent due to situations, you might not always want to admit, that you created for yourself, by making the wrong choices. I am not passing judgment on you in any way. I am declaring publicly that at my worst, I had to realize that I managed my way into that peculiar situation because of poor decision making.
They say free will is supposed to have something to do with what happens to us in life because of the decisions we make or, some that we avoid, or even some that we refuse to make. That's why I am finding the subject of change in the Bible so fascinating.
"In paths that they have not known, I will guide them." This verse in Isaiah 42:16 clearly indicates that when you attempt change or change is forced upon you, divine help might be required. Whenever, or at least a lot of times in the Bible, when someone begins to accept Jesus Christ, change is inevitable, attack is certain, fear is prevalent and faith is challenged.
Walking by faith and not by sight is unnatural in the natural world. This kind of change in your spiritual life has bearing on everything in your supernatural existence. I'm just saying it also has repercussions in your physical life. Joshua 1:9 lets us know that from the moment we begin to expand our awareness and our consciousness of God, we need to take Him everywhere we go, or risk losing ourselves to our own devices much like the Israelites in the desert. "Be not dismayed for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go."
The easiest way to succumb to your own devices is to fall prey to all of the temptations that will be hurled at you every day. If you want to feel out of control, just live in a society that is framed in 30-second sound bites, YouTube clips and Facebook trends, while constantly hearing about those who acquire instant wealth and the constant quest for more.
If you don't have a spiritual fallback position, it's relatively easy, if not expected, to define yourself by how much you have, what you can buy and what pleasures you can exploit. You might be able to say you don't or haven't done that. But I cannot. Under those circumstances, life can make you feel inadequate and anxious. More is never enough.
Given one's spiritual awareness however, things can be different. "My presence shall go with you and give you rest." (Exodus 33:14). The understanding of eternal existence, of intimate relationship, spiritual truth and God's reality puts perspective on life's absurdities and contradictions. A focus on God actually brings clarity to the soul and subsequently order to all the chaos we see.
Peace and rest become powerful realities in the hearts of those who know and seek the truth. Purpose is simplified and life becomes so much easier to navigate. For me in this context, free will merely acts as confirmation of the obvious, "Whatever is born of God overcomes the world." (1 John 5:4).
May God bless and keep you always.

Bianca Cartagena's family never wavered in their belief about who killed the 8-year-old girl.
From the day they found her cold, rigid body under covers in her mother's bed, family members pointed the finger at her mother, Candace Croff Cartagena, and publicly wondered why she was never arrested.
Their more-than-two-year wait ended Wednesday when a grand jury indicted Cartagena for second-degree murder.
"This is not a whodunit," Prosecutor Thomas M. Finnerty told Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico. "The defendant was found hiding in a nearby shed."
Bianca's body was discovered Nov. 30, 2010, in her mother's home on Greengage Circle in East Amherst.
Informed that Bianca had missed school that day and worried something might be wrong, two family members showed up at Cartagena's house and found the girl's body in her mother's bed.
Police later discovered Cartagena in a backyard shed, in a semiconscious state. She spent the next several weeks in the Erie County Medical Center's psychiatric ward.
Finnerty said the prosecution will prove that Bianca died of "homicidal asphyxia" – Amherst police believe the girl was smothered – and that Cartagena went out of her way to try to cover up the murder.
Cartagena, her hands cuffed behind her back, said nothing and kept her head down through much of her arraignment. She faces up to life in prison if convicted.
"The defendant is a flight risk," Finnerty told D'Amico. "The defendant doesn't even live in Erie County. She lives in Monroe County."
D'Amico declined Cartagena's request for bail even though her attorney noted her repeated requests over the past two years to turn herself in to police. She now lives in Rochester.
"She has been looking over her shoulder, waiting to be charged," said defense attorney John R. Nuchereno. "My client's anything but a flight risk."
There was no mention in court as to what happened at the Cartagena house the day Bianca died or what motive Cartagena may have had for killing her daughter.
She also faces a second charge, offering a false instrument for filing, that appears unrelated to the murder allegations.
Finnerty said the charge relates to Cartagena's 2010 New York State tax return and allegations that she falsely claimed two children who are not her own as dependents.
There were times during the Cartagena case when family members called for her arrest and publicly criticized the pace of the investigation.
At one point, the family accused District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III's top aides of characterizing the case as "political suicide," a reference to the failed murder prosecutions of other mothers accused of killing their children.
A key aide later denied making the statement.
From the start, Sedita said he didn't have enough evidence to prosecute Cartagena. What changed between then and now is unclear, though prosecutors alluded to new evidence Wednesday.
Sedita said in a statement: "It is more important to make sure the investigation is truly completed and to get the case right rather than to prematurely present it to the grand jury."
Several family members were in the courtroom for Cartagena's arraignment, but a family spokeswoman said they did not want to comment at this time.
Finnerty did preview for the judge what could be two key elements of the case – Cartagena's use of text messages in and around the time Bianca's body was discovered and her attempts at suicide.
He said Cartagena used those messages to reassure family members that Bianca was OK, when in fact police believe she was already dead, and then attempted to delete them to conceal her actions.
The prosecutor also referred to Cartagena's "exaggerated" attempts at suicide and suggested those reports were part of a larger story concocted by the defendant.
Nuchereno entered a plea of not guilty on Cartagena's behalf and afterward provided a glimpse into what his defense might be.
He made mention of Erie County's initial medical examiner's report, in which Dr. Dianne Vertes ruled the cause of death as asphyxiation by unknown means, possibly homicide or accidental.
"In the beginning, the chief Erie County medical examiner ruled this was not a homicide," Nuchereno said Wednesday. "That's a very competent individual."
Nuchereno said it wasn't until another pathology report came out, this one paid for by the family, that Sedita decided to investigate Bianca's death.
The unexplained death of an 8-year-old girl and the absence of formal charges against anyone helped keep the spotlight on Cartagena.
Even more important, perhaps, it was her own family suggesting she was to blame.
"It is hard for us to spit out the words 'Candace killed Bianca.' Candace is our own flesh and blood," Casie Croff, Cartagena's sister, told The Buffalo News in February of this year. "All fingers point to Candace, and she is the only one who has not helped the police."

DeLaval AMR™ in use on a real farm
DeLaval AMR™ in use on a real farm
Stefan and Karin Löwenborg have been testing the AMRsystem since April 2010 at their farm in Southern Sweden. They began by milking 300 cows on the industry-first automatic milking rotary and are now moving toward milking 500.
The chance for staff to make dairy farming a desirable career at Odensviholm farm and the possibility to increase to 800 milking cows with no extra investment are the key strengths the DeLaval AMR™ has brought Stefan Löwenborg, the world's first dairy farmer to use the automatic milking rotary.
"Our AMR™ installation will be able to milk up to 90 cows per hour and operate 9 hours twice a day. This, without the need to hire new employees and make further financial investments," the fifth generation pioneer dairy farmer said.
"We developed the system keeping large scale dairy farmers' needs in mind. That's why the AMR™ is all about keeping costs down and working as effectively as possible," DeLaval Vice President Business Area Capital Goods Andrew Turner told reporters at Odensviholm farm. "AMR™ farmers will be able to focus their time and energy on their own personal and business priorities rather than being confined by daily milking routines," he added.
Karin Löwenborg thinks that the DeLaval AMR™ can also be a good way to attract and keep quality labor. "People who want to work on a dairy farm are interested in the animals, so if you offer them the opportunity to focus on that aspect of the job instead of making them milk all day your farm becomes a more attractive workplace," she said. "And it's also a fun job for those who enjoy working with technology and computers."
While there have been some challenges with the system along the way, since it is still a test installation, Stefan Löwenborg praises the help he has received from DeLaval service technicians. "They have really been very supportive," he said. "They can change components quickly if something isn't working properly."
The Odensviholm installation has been part of the 'pilot phase' which caters now to the final stages of development and the first stages of commercialization. Pilot farms are a standard procedure for DeLaval with new milking equipment, Andrew Turner explained.
"The robotic rotary is not just an innovative piece of equipment. It represents a new way of farming. We are focusing now on making sure that the upcoming commercial installations can reap the benefits from this revolutionary technology," Andrew Turner said.
DeLaval is testing the AMR™ on farms in Sweden and in Australia and plans a number of commercial releases in those two countries during 2011. It will be available in other selected markets in 2012.
Please contact your local DeLaval organization as solutions vary in different countries.

There are all kinds of ways to keep your creative juices flowing and this time of year people are trying to jump start their enthusiasm about what they do and how they do it.
I know I have been! And I want to share these things with you – maybe they'll be exactly what you need to start the year off on the right foot!
I've started with 750Words.com!
So, have you heard about morning pages?
Basically, you sit down everyday, once a day, in the morning and write out all the junk in your brain. Ideally, this release of your garbage helps you get to the good stuff that inspires you and frees you of the heavy criticism, negativity, and the fog that keeps you from really exploring!
Or at least that's how I'm using it!
Traditionally, The Artist's Way (the book the brilliant morning pages idea comes from) suggests that you write all that long hand…but I'm just no good at that anymore.
I'm a crazy fast typer – sometimes thinking faster than I type. So, for me, 750Words.com is perfect.
I created a username and got to work trying to write everyday. What's great about 750Words.com is that it keeps all your writing and archives it – you can always go back to it!
Even better, 750Words offers a statistics page that gives you info about how long it took you to write, what you were feeling and most concerned about, what your mindset was, and your most frequently used words. This stuff is useful when you're trying to suss out themes or determine where your thoughts are headed.
They also do a monthly challenge that encourages you to write everyday for the whole month!
Give it a try! See if this is a method that might work for you in focusing your creative energy.
Sometimes writing just isn't enough. Sometimes working with hands-on materials helps to get your head in the right space for inspiration! If this is the case for you then a vision board might be right up your alley!
This weekend I was given the opportunity to join some other folks and make some vision boards for where we see our focus in the new year.
Our host, Kia Ruiz, helped us to craft our themes and gave us ideas about how to make our personal vision boards reflect what our goals might be.
Check out Kia's blog post here to learn more about her process!
I have to say, I think I should have done a little more homework before heading over to Kia's place. I had some themes in mind, but really didn't know how I wanted to represent them visually to create some inspiration about my goals. However, that doesn't mean that I'm done with my vision board! I'm super inspired by glue sticks, scissors, and clippings – there's a collage/zine making element to it that really appeals to me.
And to really kick off the year, Kia and her husband Terry served Hoppin' John and collards!
I already feel my luck changing!
What about you? What are you doing to stay creative? Any traditions you employ at the beginning of the year to keep things fresh? Tell me in the comments!

make an edam and age it out. use more annatto than usual.
Isn't Mimolette just a french copy of edam with an inordinate dose of anatto like linuxboy said? I guess you could try to find some cheese mites to make it authentic...talk about taking a "flaw" and turning it into an attribute. Not as extreme as casu marzu I guess.

Very pleasant host. We were very well received.
The apartment was clean and well laid out. The Wi-Fi worked great. There was an elevator which was good because the apartment was on the 6th floor. The only downside is the toilet on the landing to share with the inhabitants of the floor which fortunately for us were away during our stay.
Hôte très agreable. Nous avons été très bien reçues.
L appart était propre et très bien aménagé. Le Wi-Fi marchait très bien. Il y avait un ascenseur heureusement car l appart était au 6ème étage. Le seul bémol sont les wc sur le palier à partager avec les habitants de l étage qui heureusement pour nous étaient absents pendant notre sejour.
We are very contetos, has perfect location for exploring everything a tourist wants to enjoy the stay very comfortable and clean, and Rosa is a charming women we are very grateful and will surely
Estamos muy contetos, tiene ubicacion perfecta para recorrer todo lo que un turista quiere disfrutar, la estancia muy comoda y limpia , y Rosa es un encanto de mujer estamos muy agradecidos y volveremos seguro
We were very pleased with the apartment of Rosa. The apartment is small but clean and fits perfectly for a short visit in Paris (We spent 3 days but). It is located 10 minutes from the Arc de Triomphe, from Gare de l'Est bus no. 30 and 31 to reach directly (Place des Ternes). Rosa was super friendly, everything turned out, as was agreed with her. We recommend your apartment like everyone.
Wir waren mit dem Apartement von Rosa sehr zufrieden. Die Wohnung ist klein, aber sauber und passt super zu einem kurzen Besuch in Paris (Wir haben 3 Tage dort verbracht). Sie liegt 10 Minuten von dem Triumphbogen, von Gare de l'Est mit Bus Nr. 30 und 31 direkt zu erreichen (Place des Ternes). Rosa war super freundlich, alles hat so geklappt, wie das mit ihr vereinbart war. Wir empfehlen Ihr Apartement gerne jedem.
Rosa was lovely. I loved staying in this apartment, small but do not lack anything, everything is very clean and the sofa bed is very comfortable. It has a kitchen, microwave and refrigerator to make something to eat if you want. I'll stay here when I return to this charming city.
Rosa has-been very kind. I liked to stay in this apartment. It is tiny but everything You have what you need. It is very clean and the sofa-bed it is very comfortable. It has got kitchen, microwave and a fridge to eat if you would like. I will come back to stay here when i return to this charming city.
Rosa ha sido encantadora. Me encantó la estancia en este apartamento, pequeño pero no te falta de nada, todo está muy limpio y el sofá cama es muy cómodo. Tiene cocina, micro y nevera para hacerte algo de comer si quieres. Volveré a quedarme en este lugar cuando regrese a esta encantadora ciudad.

Our stay was perfect, the apartment Rosa is located near the Arc de Triomphe.
Perfect for going out to enjoy Paris.
It has been great.
Nuestra estancia ha sido perfecta, el apartamento de Rosa está situado al lado de la arco de triunfo.
Perfecto para salir à disfrutar de parís.
Ha estado genial.
small and romantic, with lift, wii-fi TV. excellent location for links and 300 mt dall'Acr de Triomphe. so absolutely excellent. fair price and staff helpful and welcoming.
piccolo e romantico, con ascensore, wii-fi TV. ottima posizione per i collegamenti e a 300 mt dall'Acr de Triomphe. quindi assolutamente ottimo. prezzo onesto e personale disponibile ed accogliente.
We've been in Paris 5 days. We came quite early and we had our train back home at 5 p.m. local time- Rosa didn't make us any problems with early move in and late move out. Studio looked exactly as in pictures given by Rosa- clean, fully equipped (there is also a fridge, heardryer, iron, all cutterly and dishes, few pots and pans), sofa bed was very comfortable and bedding nicely fresh. Studio flat is just few minutes from main attractions that enabled us to visit city centre on foot. Rosa is very nice and helpful person, if we would ever come back to Paris for a couple of days- we will definitely rent this studio again!
A great, clean and comfortable accommodation, in the heart of the city near the metro station, a fresh food market and 5 minutes away on foot from Champs-Élysées. Rosa was very friendly, responsible and everything went as planed... I can only recommend Rosa.
Great for a couple, excellent location, most of all my fiancee liked it very much, would come again if it have a space for the baby ;>
Cosy room in good conditions. Very suitable for a short stay. Rosa is a very kind person. The room is located in a calm and safe area, with the arc de triomph, two metro lines, bars, shops and supermarkets within walking distance. Fast wifi. But, the bed (couch) could be better; the door to the shower doesn't open on a hinge at the end of the door, but pivots on pins about 40% of the width away from the door edge: this could cause trouble to not very thin people. The wc is outside the room and is to share with a neighbour. Rosa charged 20€ for cleaning (but that was clear after I booked). All in all, recommendable.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

This weekend I also got my locks cut off. For the third time I donated my hair to Locks of Love. This is an organization that takes hair donations of 10 inches or longer and makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to childhood illnesses. When you donate your hair there are numerous hair salons that will give you a hair cut for free, just an added bonus. Cutting my hair was just another step in getting ready for Africa. We have been told to expect unreliable electricity and hot water. Therefore, long just wasn't going to work. I think I am going to leave Sadie's long and have someone braid it when we get there.
In 2009 my family adopted a child from Russia. All of our friends wanted to know how a single income family was able to save for a debt-free adoption. We are now adopting twin girls from Uganda. This blog is how God has grown our family.

Cool vid. I wonder, will the new rover have a way to remove a wheel (i.e. exploding bolts) if it jams up? Will they be using Robotics Studio at all? At the end, what money did he owe you Charles?
NASA should create a retail mars rover with robotic studio as the software platform and sell it. Good way to raise money for the project and good education for kids and adults. Could integrate the hw with an Xbox game with missions and 3d landscapes extruded from the 2d pictures. Now if I can just figure out how to incorporate guitar hero into a mission...
Sven is going to love this one Me too. Thanks Charles.

Counterfeit currency and security documents
The crime of counterfeiting currency is as old as the creation of money itself. Recent developments in photographic, computer and printing technologies, along with the availability of low-cost equipment, have made the production of counterfeit money relatively easy.
Criminals often use stolen or fake identity documents in order to carry out financial crimes. We are leading an international, cross-sector partnership to improve the level of security of official documents.
Security documents
At INTERPOL, we recognize the need to improve the security of official documents in two ways:
- Improving the security features of the official documents themselves, in order to reduce the possibility of counterfeiting and falsification.
- Raising the standards of proofing required in order to obtain official documents. In particular, this applies to child birth registration, birth certificates and emergency travel documents.
The INTERPOL Counterfeit and Security Documents Working Group works to address these issues and to provide a forum to exchange ideas and information. The objective is to bring together stakeholders from the different fields concerned, including the law enforcement community, private industry, government agencies and non-profit organizations.

This season's first case of influenza has been confirmed by the New Mexico Department of Health.
Health officials made the announcement Friday, saying the first case to be reported involves a woman from Santa Fe County.
Officials are urging New Mexicans to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
State Epidemiologist Michael Landen says getting a flu shot is the best protection against the spread of the disease, especially for children and those at high risk.
Symptoms can include a fever, body aches, tiredness and cough.
The Health Department says it doesn't track every case of flu in New Mexico. However, it does track influenza-like illness at several locations around the state to estimate the amount of flu activity.
NM health officials confirm first flu case
This season's first case of influenza has been confirmed by the New Mexico Department of Health.
