'Star Dust'
|Some parts of the wreckage of Lancastrian G-AGWH (Star Dust) were discovered in early 2000 high in the Andes. This enabled accident investigators to determine the likely cause of the accident. There is one element of the Star Dust accident of which we can never be 100% certain, and that is the intended meaning of the word STENDEC, transmitted by the Radio Officer in his final message from the aircraft :-
"E.T.A. Santiago 17:45. STENDEC"
That was the last message received from Star Dust, sent by Radio Officer Dennis Harmer at 17:41 on 2nd August 1947.
The Chilean radio operator in Santiago said the reception was clear, but the message was sent rather quickly, so she asked for it to be repeated...twice. The message was believed to be the same on all three occasions.
Clearly, if the crew believed they were only minutes away from Santiago, the radio officer would have been keen to complete that final morse message so he could make voice contact with the controller at Los Cerrillos airport. Therefore it is no surprise that the message was sent rather quickly.
There have been many suggestions over the years as to what was meant by Dennis Harmer's message that day, as it clearly was not intended to be STENDEC. Some of the theories are totally implausible. A popular one is that STENDEC is an anagram of DESCENT and the letters were re-arranged due to Harmer suffering from the effects of hypoxia. A person suffering hypoxia is unlikely to make the same mistake consistently three times in succession and is very unlikely to create an anagram of the intended word. Furthermore, a normal message would not be expected to consist of the single word 'descent'.
We have asked many former aircrew for their views on STENDEC and several have said they believe there is a very simple explanation. This is as follows .....
The actual Morse code which the Chilean Operator believed she received was:
… _ . _. _.. . _._.
A recognized signoff or 'end of message' signal was 'AR' (with no space between the letters). Therefore a standard signoff would be sent as the Morse '._._.' in other words 'EC' without the space. If the messages from Star Dust were sent quickly it is quite conceivable that spaces were misinterpreted. A common message at the time was "Standard Arrival" followed by the direction from which the aircraft was arriving, so in this case if we simply shift a couple of spaces from 'STENDEC' we are left with 'S T A R E AR' or STandard/ARrival/East/signoff:
… _ ._ ._. . ._._.
It is impossible now to know for sure what Dennis Harmer intended his final message to mean. It was almost certainly not STENDEC. Even though the discovery of the wreckage of Star Dust helped us to understand the events of that day in 1947, the word STENDEC will always be a subject for debate.

In Genisis 11:6 Jehovah appears to be worried that mankind will be able to do anything they desire. Did Jehovah scatter men and use different languages as a controlling measure to make us dependent on him? What happened to freewill?
Can someone explain to me the story of the tower of Babel?
by tippysock 80 Replies latest watchtower bible
I think Gods purpose was for them to be filling the earth and subduing it but instead they were staying together and following a false God , that's how I see what nimrod was trying to do ,put himself in the heavens . Good question tho .
Oh, no! Suddenly I speak a different language than everyone else. Instead of learning a second language (too much work, you know), I think I'll find a few strangers who still speak the same as I and forsake my home and family and mount a trek to the other of the planet. Then, when we're far enough away from people who speak other languages, I'll forsake all the other aspects of my old Babylonian culture as well: dress, grooming habits, methods of writing, architecture, art, etc. Well, maybe I'll keep some remnants of "Babylonish" religion as well. Unless these beliefs coincide with Judaism, in which case I will corrupt them. Maybe I'll embellish details of the global flood that occured just a few generations ago to start out.
Oh, really! You know this story never made sense to me, not even as a little kid. I wouldn't be surprised if it was authored by the same person or group who wrote The first creation account and the Fall of Man. God is paranoid of mankind and determined to stunt their progress, first by making false death threats to keep humans from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad, second by throwing them out of Eden to keep them away from the Tree of Life, and finally by disrupting the building project to keep man from entering heaven itself. Also note Genesis 11:7:
Come now! Let us go down and there confuse their language that they may not listen to one another's language.Who is the "us?" It's the same "us" from Genesis 1:26 and 3:22; the plural "gods" from Genesis 1:1 who created the heavens and the earth. For some reason they always get omitted, and we hear that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
It is an origin legend to explain the languages and cultures around Palestine.
This is one of the most interesting fables and has spawned a huge amount of theological thought.
This is also the earliest Biblical reference to a god / man combination in the form of Nimrod. His name, as the society pointed out once, is probably a reference to his character. "Let us rebel" is the literal meaning of Nimrod, ergo, his character is the personification of human rebellion.
He founded cities, like Cain did before the Flood. Apparently founding cities is a step away from God's plan.
There is some highly circumstantial evidence supporting the idea of a single culture that fragmented at some point in the past. Pyramids are either a genetic burp or a sign of cultural origin. (Aztec, Egyptian, etc.)
There is a certain sect of the Freemasons that worship Nimrod and want to rebuild a single world culture with a single religion. Hence, the pyramid with the eye above it - the assault on heaven and it's plans.
Genesis 11 :: The Message (MSG)

Publisher Info: The Message from NavPress | NavPress Genesis 11
"God Turned Their Language into "Babble""
1 At one time, the whole Earth spoke the same language.
2 It so happened that as they moved out of the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled down.
3 They said to one another, "Come, let's make bricks and fire them well." They used brick for stone and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city and a tower that reaches Heaven. Let's make ourselves famous so we won't be scattered here and there across the Earth."
5 GOD came down to look over the city and the tower those people had built.
6 GOD took one look and said, "One people, one language; why, this is only a first step. No telling what they'll come up with next--they'll stop at nothing! 7 Come, we'll go down and garble their speech so they won't understand each other." 8 Then GOD scattered them from there all over the world. And they had to quit building the city. 9 That's how it came to be called Babel, because there GOD turned their language into "babble." From there GOD scattered them all over the world. If you believe the story above, these points might be of note: It could be that the people were trying to build some place high enough and safe enough when the next flood came. Nimrod would have wanted the people to stay in one place and not spread out to build a power base. As a child I found this story hard to explain. I knew that building something did not require so much communicationn by words as understanding of building procedures which are fairly universal. I have heard individual JWs speculate that there would be no towns or cities in the "new world" based on this scripture account. Many JWs think that God is going to do the reverse in the "new world" and re-wire everyone's brains to understand only one language and that the other languages will be forgotten. That the only books, music, art will be that which is created in the "new world." Sounds like Fahrenheit 451 to me. There are too many holes in this story to take it literally. Blondie
I'd like ta know why Jehovah thought it was cute to give some a damn New York accent. Talk about a sense of humor!
As a child I found this story hard to explain. I knew that building something did not require so much communicationn by words as understanding of building procedures which are fairly universal.
Hehe, good point! All those Polish and Hispanic contractors can work together just fine. Those of you with experience in the home improvement and construction field know what I'm talking about!
i heard a talk once where a brother speculated that they were becoming technologically advanced and Jehovah wanted that to wait till the time of the end..
i have a bird brain.hence i try not to think too much .. it hurts!
a Christian
What are reasonable Bible students to make of the Bible's story of the tower of Babel and the confusion of languages which there took place shortly after the flood? I believe that in order to correctly answer this question we must first deal with another confusion of tongues, the translation of ancient Hebrew into modern English.
Genesis 11:1 tells us that when the Tower of Babel was being built, "The whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."
As has often been pointed out in discussions of Noah's flood having been far less than global in its scope, the Hebrew word that is often translated in Genesis as "earth," giving readers the idea that its writer was referring to our entire planet, is much more often translated in the Old Testament as "land." In fact, we find this to be the case in the very next verse (Gen. 11:2) which refers to the "land" of Shinar. I believe that Bible translators who chose to translate the Hebrew word "erets" as "earth" rather than as "land" in the Bible's historical accounts of Noah's flood and the tower of Babel are mainly to blame for many people's misunderstandings of both the Bible and the history of mankind.
The traditional interpretation of the flood and the dispersion at Babel has been that the total population of the entire world was confined to the land of Shinar in the post-flood era. It is said that these people, who supposedly amounted to all people living on earth, all spoke the same language and were all involved in building a tower. Then it is said that God confounded them, and off they went in all directions muttering Aztec, Mandarin, Swahili, and the like. They crossed oceans and reached far distant continents and changed their skin colors along the way.
This interpretation of Genesis has continued in spite of much extrabiblical evidence that has long been available which proves that it cannot be correct. To see that the JW and Christian "fundamentalist" interpretations of the events which transpired at the Tower of Babel must be incorrect, all their advocates have to do is count the mud brick ziggurats in Mesopotamia. Any number that exceeds one kills their interpretation. And the remains of over thirty such "towers" have been found all over the region, in twenty-seven different cities, hundreds of miles apart. Had the entire earth been devoid of humanity except for Noah's descendants who all lived in the land of Shinar where the tower of Babel was built, what would explain all the additional towers?
All those other ziggurats at all those other widely scattered sites could not have all been built at the exact same time as the tower of Babel. Thus they had to have been constructed either before or after the tower of Babel. If they were constructed before Babel, it would mean that Noah's descendants (if everyone then alive were Noah's descendants) had already begun to spread out and settle in widely separated communities, precluding them from all being at one place, which was the case according to Genesis 11:1,2. On the other hand, if the many other ziggurats were constructed after Babel, it would mean that after the Lord made clear to Noah's descendents that He didn't like them building such towers and after He prevented them from completing such a building project, they soon banded together again for the same purpose and successfully completed the building of many other such towers with no opposition from God. This makes no sense.
What does make sense is to understand that building ziggurats was very much the thing to do in those days. The tower of Babel was simply one of many Mesopotamian worship centers. Clearly, the building of the tower of Babel and the confusion of the participants' languages which then occurred seemed like a gigantic event to those who were there and passed the story down to their descendants. But the fact of the matter is that the tower of Babel was only one such tower among many which then existed. It was probably not even the biggest. And it was almost certainly neither the first nor the last.
So then, what did happen at Babel? Apparently some of Noah's descendants saw some of the fantastic places of worship built by their Sumerian neighbors, which were devoted to pagan gods. They then decided to follow suit and build just such a tower in an effort to reach their God. Due to their ignorance, the God of Noah's descendants tolerated the actions of the worshippers of false gods when they erected such structures in their foolish efforts to reach nonexistent pagan deities. However, God expected His chosen people to exercise better judgment. He was not pleased with their pagan copycat building project. So He put an end to it by confusing their speech. This action on God's part successfully brought an end to the spiritually misguided building project which Noah's descendants had begun and His doing so resulted in their being dispersed throughout their land.
As a final note, judging from the writings of Noah's descendants, some of which predate the time of Babel, the confusion of speech which took place at Babel does not appear to have been a permanent one.
Some may wonder why God said, concerning those who were building the tower of Babel, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." (Gen. 11:6)
Obviously no one can say for sure exactly what God meant. But I'll take a guess.
I suspect that God thought that, if He allowed His people to copy the religious building practices of their pagan neighbors, they might then begin copying other religious practices of those same pagan neighbors. Such as burning their children in sacrifice to Him. Or forcing their young men and women to work as temple prostitutes to raise money for Him. Or who knows what else? If God's people wanted to be like their pagan neighbors so badly, that they were willing to go to all the trouble of building a copy of one of their giant ziggurat temple towers, who knows what things they might have collectively done in an effort to be like their pagan neighbors? For them, as God watched them building that tower, anything seemed possible.
all i can say is Bin Landen is god right hand on earth
people dont learn, tall towers are not good, period.
btw Bin is more effective than his boss in getting people confuse and make them flee from tall towers
"god turned dare lingo into "babble"" 1 hat one bells, da whole earth spoke da same lingo. 2it so happened dat as dey moved hout hof da east, dey came upon da plain in da turf hof shinar an' settled down. 3they said to one anotha, "come, let's make bricks an' fire dem well." dey used brik fe stone an' tar fe mortar. 4thun dey said, "come, let's build ourselves da turf an' da towa dat reaches heavun. let's make ourselves famous so we won't be scattered in da house an' dere across da earth." 5god came down to chek ova da turf an' da towa those peeps had built. 6god took one chek an' said, "one peeps, one language; why, dis iz only da first step. narr tellin wot they'll spitz up wiv next--they'll stop hat naffink! 7come, we'll go down an' garble dare speech so dey won't feel each uva." 8thun god scattered dem from dere all ova da world. an' dey had to quit buildin da turf. 9that's how hit came to be called babel, coz dere god turned dare lingo into "babble." from dere god scattered dem all ova da world.
Well you see, there was a great challenge raised in eden that man could do ok without god. In this place, it looked like people would actually succeed. 'Course that would have made god the loser. He can't have that. So he sabotaged the human race. When you are god, you see, you can play it the way you want, to make sure that you win.
Paul writtings reflects the almighty nature as this:
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all chruches of the saints. 1Cor 14:33
Seems a bit contrasting from Genesis does it not? Then again who is God of this world? The US in chapter 1 of Genesis and Jehovah in chapter 2 is also reveiling.
There is some evidence, both in terms of Sumerian/Akkadian sources for the story and the structure of the story, that Genesis 11 conflates two originally separate traditions: one in which men build a city to keep the world's population together in one place, and another in which men build a tower to reach heaven. The exilic period would have been a time when both traditions could have merged, as Babylon was both the capital of a world empire and home to an enormous ziggurat.
However, God expected His chosen people to exercise better judgment.
there's no talk about "chosen people" in the torah prior to israel...
those legends simply try to explain things people then didn't understand - why doesn't a snake have legs, why do we die, why do rainbows appear, why do other people have another language...
other cultures have explainations why monkeys exist, why rabbits have short tails, whatever...
before the invention of science, fables explained everything!
like someone else on this board said before: as soon as you see the bible (at least genesis) as what it is - a book of legends - everything makes perfect sense.
If god had not confused the languages, would we have all of the turmoil and suffering that has resulted from centuries of cultural, religious and political differentiation?
Blame god.
God seperated people with language barriers,,, yet look what has resulted anyway.
We have massive cities, skyscrapers taller than what was started at babel, languages being taught to any who wish to learn, calculators that translate into our own language. Damn.....What's god gonna do when he steps in this time.......seperate us to different planets?
Frannie Banannie
Yes, I can explain it. The Tower of Babel story is a legend (story) used to explain the difference in spoken and written forms of communication, since some ppl couldn't figure it out for themselves. It's been entered in the "holy" scriptures as the God's honest truth, when it's simply a myth or legend passed off as the truth. Most nationalities and/or religions have their own legend which differs from this one, which is peculiar to the Christian nations.
Does it really make sense to think that an omnipotent deity would actually worry about its creation gaining power because they spoke the same language? We humans learn other languages and have translators today and things are progressing toward world peace, believe it or not....well....as soon as they can get rid of religious differences it will come. Medical science all over the world is working to cure fatal diseases and debilitating diseases, hunger and famine and aging. This, of course, is with the almighty dollar in mind, but the end result will be the same. Whoever has the most power (money/favors owed) will have the control over these things.
If a supreme deity were worried about abuse of power or the usurpation of its own, it would have thought of a way to destroy our means of trade (money/finances/authority over one another).
More than likely, the whole of the bible was gathered from ancient scrolls and banded together, translated in a way to please whoever was doing the translating or transcribing, in order for those in authority,.....to remain in authority........of course, that's men.....are we surprised?

Anastasia Volochkova, until recently prima ballerina of Russia's famed Bolshoi Theatre, stands 5'6" and says she weighs 110 lbs.—practically elfin in the land of vodka and borscht and no giant by ballet standards. Yet when the Bolshoi fired her on Sept. 16, they acted as if they were getting rid of a dancing bear. "No one wanted to dance with her," says Bolshoi spokeswoman Katerina Novikova (adding that there were also contract disputes). "She is heavy for a ballerina."
So heavy, in fact, that the Russian press reported that her frequent partner Yevgeny Ivanchenko quit the Bolshoi because of injuries incurred while lifting her. He has since, denied it, but the damage was done. "I am in such distress," says Volochkova, 27, who joined the Bolshoi in 1998. "It is a terrible thing for all the world to think I'm too big."
Not that making headlines is anything new for her. In recent years Volochkova—who once said she "couldn't live" without ice cream—has faced accusations of divalike behavior and been linked to a number of high-profile men (including, according to some papers, Jim Carrey). Her next move? Suing to get reinstated. Says Volochkova: "I just want to dance."
Lard of the Dance?

For a mother there is nothing more memorable than the birth of her baby. But for Dolores Jacoby the arrival in 1973 of her fourth child, Bobby, was a moment of particularly high drama. There she was in labor in Booth Memorial Hospital in Flushing, N.Y. watching the Emmy Awards. Suddenly, there onscreen appeared her 16-year-old son, Scott, who had been nominated for his performance in That Certain Summer, a TV drama about homosexuality. "I knew he was going to win," Jacoby recalls, "but I had both legs up in the air in stirrups because I was ready to have the baby. I was afraid Bobby would come out while Scotty was up there winning." But with a future actor's sense of timing, little Bobby delayed his debut and Dolores got to see Scotty win the award.
A stage mother could hardly ask for better treatment and stage mother is precisely what Dolores is—"by definition," says Scott, "if not by stereotype." Besides Scott, now 27, there are four other Jacoby kids: Susan, 22, Billy, 15, Bobby, 11, and Laura, 10, all of them actors. Their credits—sometimes they seem more like a performing conglomerate than a family—include several hundred commercials, upward of 50 movies, a roughly equal number of guest shots on series, some 25 stage plays and a couple of soaps. Like the Carradines and the Barry-mores, the Jacobys obviously believe that the family that acts together stays together.
The family's first foray into showbiz came 20 years ago when Dolores was living in Flushing, with Scott and her second husband, Joe Jayne. (Scott's father, Buddy Jacoby, died in 1960.) Joe, now retired, was a general contractor whose only interest in bright lights was their wiring. Dolores, an aspiring singer and actress, was working as a hostess at the New York World's Fair. Money was tight, and Dolores worried that 7-year-old Scott wouldn't be able to afford college. Then a friend suggested the theater. After all, Scott was always singing and dancing around the house and he delighted in seeing a Broadway show once a week with his mother.
Soon afterward Dolores took Scott to an audition for The Music Man, and he won the role. "I flipped," says Dolores. "He made $135 per week—I thought that was big time—and he was playing opposite Bert Parks." Later Dolores began making big plans for her four children by Jayne. (Eventually they all took the name Jacoby because they felt Jayne was "too feminine.") Next to try show business was Susan, who got a sort of backhanded start when her mother took Scott to an audition for a Dristan commercial. Unable to find a sitter, Dolores had Susan in tow. The Dristan people needed a toddler and Susan got the part—a good thing, since Scott didn't get his.
Billy, too, happened to be in the right place at the right time. His mother was carting him around the set when Scott was filming That Certain Summer (star-ring Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen). When the producers needed someone to play Scott as a 3-year-old, she promptly supplied his kid brother.
Bobby and Laura also started early. Bobby got his first role at age 5 in Walking Through the Fire. He is currently playing Donna Mills' son on Knot's Landing. Laura's debut was at 4 months in a Pampers commercial, and she went on to appear in The Jayne Mansfield Story and many other TV shows. "Out of my whole family, she has wanted it the most," says her mother. Getting "it," however, exacts a toll. "I get nervous," Laura admits. "I've always been the shrimp and sometimes I feel, oh, squashed. Every so often," she adds sheepishly, "I cry."
Concerned about the perils and pressures of show business, Dolores tries to give her family a sense of togetherness. Home is a two-story, redbrick house in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles, where the Jacobys settled after leaving Flushing in 1976. Scott has his own large Mediterranean-style home in the Hollywood Hills. "He comes over a lot to play football," says Dolores. "We have a very normal family life. We go skating on Wednesday nights and argue sometimes—just like everyone else."
That doesn't mean that Dolores stops pushing. She rehearses lines with her kids, chauffeurs them to and from auditions and shows, picks out their wardrobes and helps choose "the right agents." She sums herself up: "A very hyper person. A nagging, overprotective Jewish mother. I get crazy. I scream. Some days my husband thinks I'm going to have a heart attack."
The whole Jacoby scene, in fact, is still more than a little puzzling to Dolores' spouse. "Our father is old school, Puritan work ethic," Scott says fondly of his stepfather. "He's like middle class. He grew up in Bayside, N.Y. He doesn't quite understand all this. But when he hears the clapping, he beams." But Dolores, who would have loved a career onstage, denies that her kids are being forced to live out her fantasy. "You can't force a kid to act," Dolores says. "Maybe for a day or two, but not over and over. Face it, it's an exciting life for them."
And a lucrative one. The family owns five houses in L.A. as investments. Professional money men handle the kids' torrent of royalties and fees—estimated at $500,000 per year—which are then placed in various trusts. Obviously there is more than enough money for Scott's education, though so far he hasn't used much of it. Mom sighs her best stage sigh. "He met a girl," she says. "Of course he didn't go to college—and of course the girl didn't last." But good news: Scott is enrolled at Los Angeles City College. The other children are in private school.
All the younger Jacobys will keep on acting. Scott is now considering a movie offer and Susan and Billy are both shooting an untitled film. Naturally, Dolores is always there. "I work with the kids all the time," she says, "whether they like it or not. They always think they know it all but they're still babies. I don't send them on jobs they can't get. But if I hear of a good role, I make sure they get the script. I know acting doesn't last forever. But the doors are open. And if they want to walk away—fine.
Dolores Jacoby May Look Like a Stage Mother, but She Has Her Kids in Movies and TV Commercials Too

Skins- Has it lost it's spark?
- Published in: Television
- Written by JoPalmer
- Permalink
The fifth series of Skins scored a rating of 511,000 Thursday night which is one of the lowest yet. Are the new characters not clicking with the audience and has the series lost it's spark?
It's always a challenge introducing a whole new group of characters to an audience who fall in love with the group of teenagers every year. The first and second series of Skins was incredibly popular with loved characters including Cassie and Sid. Audiences hadn't seen anything like Skins before and loved how open and honest the series was. The characters were easy to emphasise with and there was a huge range of comedy and emotional drama. Dev Patel and Nicholas Hoult are just a couple of the actors who have gone on to great things since the series ended and are even hoping to appear in the cinema version. The third and fourth series, which hosted characters such as Iffy and Freddie, was also quite popular, until they killed off Freddie in a explicit showdown.
This fifth series promised to be a bit lighter and have more comedy. When new characters were shown in the first episode, they did seem to not have as much oomph as other years. The first episode followed young Franky as she moved to the college and was soon being taunted by Mini and friends Grace and Liv. Mini is a character, which is hard to like, and I think the public will struggle to connect with her. Although her episode showed her in a different light, I don't think she is a character, which many people could relate to. We also had Alo's episode, which was quite odd including a scene where he loses his hearing to loud music. I don't think this portrayed people who enjoy alternative music in a positive way and was very stereotypical. Alo's best mate friend Rich seems like an interesting character and his episode will be good as he brings a bit of comedy to the show. Also Grace is a lovable character and it will be also interesting to see her episode.
This Thursday it was Liv's turn and what a whirlwind the episode was. After seeing last week that she had slept with Mini's boyfriend Nick, it was good to learn more about her character. Nick is also a character who is incredibly hard to like as he treats women like dirt. When everyone turns up at Liv's place, she can't deal with the secrets and leaves. We find out that her sister is in prison and although this was an interesting development they don't really build on this and I hope they do this in the next series. Liv meets mysterious Matty and they go off on journey, which involves drugs, sex and stealing. The episode is very odd and it's hard to understand why Liv would go off with someone who she just meets at the train station. This series definitely is not as good as others so far, hopefully the series will improve with the other characters episodes where we get to know them better. This series does feel like the characters involved are harder to relate to, however I'm hooked already.

I'm a working mother to two small children: Charlotte the beautiful soul prone to histrionics who is 6 and Sawyer, the blond-haired blue-eyed sweet devil boy who is 4. I'm a Senior Editor working for a large publishing company, so when my husband's job relocated us from NJ to Iowa, I was thankfully able to keep my position and telecommute full-time.
Even if it means I literally see corn out of my window.
So most days I wear yoga pants and T-shirts. And because I care about the general public, I'll put on a bra if I leave the house. You're welcome.
Ten years ago, I embarked on a weight-loss journey that took me down many roads with ups and downs, back-to-back pregnancies, and a failed sense of health and sustainability. You can see the photos here. Sure, I could lose weight eating low-fat cheese and 900 calories a day or counting Points but I wanted to hurl myself off a cliff. Eventually, having a hard time losing the weight after the move and the second baby, my new doctor suggested I look into low-carb as a way of treating my PCOS, which carries with it Insulin Resistance. With research, I found the Primal Blueprint and Paleo and so much suddenly made so much sense.
From there I picked up anything written by Michael Pollan and my interest and passion for Real/Whole Foods eating spun off. I started Crossfit at a local box because I had heard such great things of it in the community. It is by far one of the hardest things I've ever done, ever. I push myself to my limits, physically and mentally, almost every day and that changes a person. In this community, I have found a new family and I am thankful everyday for these people. I am a better wife and mother for it. I am a better me for it.
Eventually, I started a website to talk about my new lifestyle and share the recipes I was coming up with. But keeping that up along with my "mommy" blog became a lost labor. My kids were growing older and I felt I was beginning to walk a fine line in telling their stories publicly and my passion for cooking and nutrition and Whole Foods was taking precedence in my life. So I developed this site as a way to keep everything harmonious. This is a place where all of me is shared.
My weight-loss struggle has finally been met with success and I've finally hit the lowest weight I've seen in almost 8 years, and what's more: I did it the right way. Eating whole foods, avoiding inflammatory foods and packaged/processed artificial foods, and lifting heavy stuff. I have changed my life and the lifestyle of my family for the better.
Though they fight most of the time they're awake, I plan on being around to watch them fight for a long, long time.
Here's a video from last year at BlogHer Food my friend Lillian from Lillian's Test Kitchen created as part of a Food Warrior Series. I talk about how I came to Paleo eating and what it means for my family, how it is raising gluten-intolerant kids, PCOS, etc.

The number of homeless American vets has dropped by 15,000 since 2009, according to an upcoming government report.
The decline fulfills in part an aggressive vow by the Obama administration to end veteran homelessness by 2015.
Still, roughly 60,000 vets remain without homes -- 14 percent of the country's homeless population.
Officials say it would take the following conditions to stamp out the problem:
Bob McElroy, president and CEO of the Alpha Project, has helped San Diego's homeless for decades. He suggested the administration's vow to end veteran homelessness is wishful thinking.
"It's baloney to say it will end in 2015," McElroy told The Associated Press. "This needs to be a priority for decades to come."
While Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki acknowledged the goal is ambitious, he said it's better to set the bar too high than too low.
"I learned long ago that there are never any absolutes in life, and a goal of zero homeless veterans sure sounds like an absolute," Shinseki conceded in a November 2009 speech.
"But unless we set ambitious targets for ourselves, we would not be giving this our very best efforts," he said.

Dennis Allen Concerned With Pryor's Knee Injury
Source: Marc Sessler, NFL.com
Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor wasn't himself in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants.
The scrambling and elusiveness we've become accustomed from Pryor to were replaced by tentative play in the pocket, the result of a knee injury he suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen acknowledged Monday that Pryor's health is more of a concern than Oakland realized before the Giants tilt.
"It wasn't something that we thought was going to be a big factor going into the game. But, obviously, it was a factor," Allen told reporters, per the Bay Area News Group.

Congressman Frank Wolf, R-Va., told Congress Tuesday Iraqi Christians are facing a "genocide" and horrific crimes against humanity.
Wolf said the so-called Islamic State "is systematically targeting Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq for extinction."
Hundreds of Christians have been fleeing from Mosul, Iraq's second biggest city. Last week the Islamist group gave Christians three choices: convert to Islam, pay the jizyah tax required of non-Muslims or face execution.
Meanwhile, IS insurgents stole nearly everything from the Christians they threatened to kill.
**What's the latest in Mosul? Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom answers this and more on CBN Newswatch, July 23.
Those who fled had to to leave most of their belongings behind. Then gunmen at checkpoints set up by the IS stole most of what they managed to take along.
"Where is the Obama administration?" Wolf asked, citing a letter sent to the president by Congress in June.
"The Obama administration has to make protecting this ancient community a priority. It needs to encourage the Kurds to do what they can protect those fleeing ISIS and provide safe refuge. It needs to ensure that of the resources going to the region, a portion be guaranteed to help the Christian community," the letter stated.
"The time to act is now," Wolf said, noting this past Sunday was the first one in 1,600 years without a Christian Mass in Mosul.
On Sunday, jihadists seized the 1,800-year old Mar Behnam Monastery, about 15 miles south of Mosul. The resident clergymen fled to the nearby city of Qaraqoush.
"Even here in Qaraqoush, we do not feel safe because IS militants are only few kilometers away," said Father Sherbil Issou, a priest who fled Mosul.
Noel Ibrahim, who fled the city with his family last week, said IS gunmen stopped cars and stole cash and gold jewelry from the women.
"One of the gunmen told us, 'You can leave now, but do not ever dream of returning to Mosul again,'" Ibrahim said.

Laser illumination of aircraft cockpits may cause a number of hazardous effects, including pilot distraction, glare, after-image flash blindness, and in extreme circumstances, persistent visual impairment and inability to perform flight duties.
According to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) Operations Bulletin 2007-04, lasers continue to be a threat to aviation. During the first five months of 2007, over 200 "lasing" incidents were reported despite law enforcement efforts to deter and apprehend those who intentionally illuminate cockpits with lasers.
The rise in laser incidents in recent years is believed to be due to the proliferation and increasing sophistication of laser devices available to the general public. On January 11, 2005, the FAA issued Advisory Circular (AC) No. 70-2, Reporting of Laser Illumination of Aircraft, in response to numerous documented incidents of unauthorized illumination of aircraft by lasers. This AC provides guidance to air crews on the reporting of laser incidents, and recommends mitigation actions to be taken to ensure continued safe and orderly flight operations.
A review of laser incidents submitted to ASRS during the past year-and-a-half provides compelling evidence of the effects of sudden laser illumination in the cockpit. For one First Officer (the Pilot Flying), a laser flash produced a lingering after-image.
Turning base to final, Runway 9R, I saw a very brief, bright green flash about 5 miles NNE of our position, in my right eye. Although not painful, I could feel an unusual sensation in my eye. The light was distracting and caused an 'after- image' to remain in my visual field for about 20 minutes after exposure. I was Pilot Flying, and was able to continue and land normally. After landing, I telephoned my airline's Operations Center to inform them of the event, and they forwarded my report to TRACON....
My student and I were in cruise and we both noticed a glare on our left passenger window. Both of us turned to look at what was causing it and saw a ground-based laser which was striking our aircraft. It was turned off and then on a total of 3 times before it stopped. The fact that it was turned on and off more than once and that it struck us each time caused us to believe it was intentional. We reported it to Approach...It was blinding but not debilitating.
As I turned my gaze from [the] right side cockpit window, I observed a reflected flash from the left side of the cockpit. The Captain was looking out of the left cockpit side window at the same moment and asked me if I saw 'that flash.' I informed him that I only saw the reflection...The Captain then asked rhetorically if that might have been one of those unauthorized lasers. This made it clear to me that he had observed something far more intense than I had perceived. Based upon the...sensations the Captain was feeling in his eyes and with his suggestion, I made an 'unauthorized laser' report [to] the Center...After several more minutes, the Captain complained of less than clear vision, but nothing 'too serious.' We landed...approximately 50 minutes later...Once on the gate with the opportunity to directly observe the Captain's eyes in good conditions, it was obvious his eyes were extremely bloodshot with what appeared to have been blistering and possible bleeding at the inside corner of his right eye. He was then complaining of increased discomfort in both eyes and blurred vision in the right eye...I accompanied the Captain to the hospital near the airport so that a physician could examine his eyes...The Captain's retina was not damaged, but his normal 20-15 vision was temporarily 20-60...The FBI has contacted the Captain and interviewed him about this event....
Advisory Circular 70-2 details the reporting procedures to be used by air crews who experience a laser illumination incident, and suggests practical actions pilots may consider taking before, during, and after encountering laser activity.
We hope this information on laser illumination hazards has been useful, and we would appreciate any additional reports to ASRS on laser incidents.
Altimeter Setting Reminder
A legacy of this past winter was a rash of reporting to ASRS on altimeter setting errors. These reports arrived in batches, as numerous flight crews experienced the same problem, on the same day, in areas of the country that were encountering low barometric pressure.
Most of these altimeter setting errors resulted in altitude deviations – a cause for concern since altitude deviations can result in near mid-air collisions and controlled flight towards terrain. Fortunately, most of these deviations were detected and corrected before hazardous incidents occurred.
For a B737 flight crew, expectation of a "normal" altimeter setting and a copying error led to an altitude overshoot.
This incident offers a reminder that obtaining altimeter settings close to the approach segment (particularly the transition level of FL180) complicates the task of preparing for landing, and may lead to altimeter setting errors.
A possible controller error was a factor in another flight crew's altitude overshoot.
On descent into ZZZ, while passing FL190, Center issued us further descent to 7,000 feet, the altimeter setting and a frequency change. We think the controller may have given us an incorrect altimeter setting, 30.27, instead of 29.27 for landing in ZZZ. Regardless, the Captain and I set 30.27 instead of the correct setting of 29.27. We continued to what we thought was 7,000 feet for the level-off. After reaching level-off, the controller...told us to climb to 7,000 feet. I responded that we were level at 7,000 feet. He told us the altimeter setting and we corrected it, and climbed to the 'correct' altitude...The Captain and I talked about it after we arrived at the gate and decided that in the future, it would be better to compare the controller's altimeter setting to what we received from the airport ATIS on the ACARS printout. If there seems to be a discrepancy, ask the controller for clarification.
Sticky Wickets
"Sticky wicket" is a term from the game of cricket referring to a field that is partly dry and partly wet, a playing surface that creates difficult bounces for the batter. More generally, it is any hazardous or uncertain life situation. Two ASRS reporters describe their sticky wickets – and how they became "stuck."
After landing, in the transition to taxi, the airplane drifted to the left. The student attempted to correct back to the centerline. The student was unable to correct because his foot was stuck under the pedal. The situation became progressively worse and the instructor attempted to make corrective action as well, but the rudder pedal would not move. The result was that the airplane taxied off the runway and into the ditch, and there was a prop strike. To prevent this from occurring again we [should] make sure that the interior floor is not catching on the pilot's foot.
Meet the Staff
Thomas "Tom" Tighe
ASRS's newest addition to the analyst staff, Tom Tighe (rhymes with "sky"), has done it all – flown Air Force jets, commercial jets, gliders, and tow planes. Tom joined the ASRS staff in June 2007, and is bringing his diverse background in aviation to analysis of ASRS reports from air carrier and GA pilots.
Tom's flying career started with Air Force pilot training and a brief stint flying the F-102. Next he flew the F-106 and, in his words, "fell into the best assignment in the Air Force" – flying F-106's out of Hamilton Air Force Base in California. His role in the F-106 air defense mission continued with an assignment to the Michigan Air National Guard.
Tom was hired by United Airlines as a pilot and returned to California, flying out of San Francisco International Airport for more than 28 years. During a 2-1/2-year furlough from his airline career, he flew gliders and tow planes in California's Napa Valley. Back with United, he flew the B727, B737, B747, B757, B767, and B777 as Captain. He retired from United in October 2006.

I have a number of questions, and I'd appreciate it if somebody even had an answer to one of 'em, although if somebody know's 'em all that would REALLY help!
The first question regards the plane's hydraulic control's
From what I remember, the SE-210 Caravelle featured fully-powered hydraulic surfaces, did these hydraulic systems have artificial feel, and were all the control-surfaces capable of manual-reversion should hydraulics fail?
Second question regards the airplane's average takeoff distance? I remember hearing a case where a fully loaded Caravelle (III, I think) took 8,000 feet to get into the air when fully loaded after a 42-second takeoff run, but what would most of the Cavelle's fair in terms of takeoff distance under light or average loads?
Third, the flaps appeared to be fowler-type. Were they single slotted, or double-slotted? And does anyone know what settings they used? Even if nobody knows all the settings, does anybody know what settings were used for takeoff and landing? Also, did any variants have any leading-edge devices?
Fourth, to the best of my knowledge, some Caravelle's did not have speedbrakes/spoilers or the like. Which variants did, and which did not? And regarding the ones that didn't, how the hell did they slow-down in a reasonable distance (particularly in the air)?
Fifth, does anybody know what the plane's .mmo and .vmo are?
Sixth, from what I remember reading, the plane's thrust to weight ratio, fully-loaded, was quite low compared to other jetliners, say the 707-120, fully-loaded? How was the airplane considered to be considered to be such a good performer if it was so underpowered?
Seventh, how many variants and sub-variants of the SE-210 Caravelle were built?

Over the last few years, CMOS sensors have improved in leaps and bounds. On that front, Fujifilm and Panasonic announced a new development in CMOS technology at the 2013 International Image Sensor Workshop, held June 15 in Utah (U.S.).
FUJIFILM and Panasonic have developed organic CMOS image sensor technology that uses an organic photoelectric conversion layer with a photoelectric conversion property at the light receiving section of an image sensor to achieve performance beyond that of conventional image sensors.
The industry has put forth continuous efforts to explore image sensor technologies for increasing their number of pixels. This has dramatically improved sensor resolutions, but, in order to further boost image quality, it is necessary to expand the dynamic range, enhance sensitivity and prevent crosstalk or color mixing between pixels. Panasonic took advantage of its semiconductor device technology to boost image quality for its high-performance image sensors. Fujifilm, on the other hand, has developed highly reliable organic photoelectric conversion layer with high absorption coefficient to be used on a sensor's light receiving section instead of silicon photodiode in its effort to build a new image sensor technology.
In the latest collaboration, Fujifilm and Panasonic have combined Fujifilm's organic photoelectric conversion layer technology with Panasonic's semiconductor device technology to jointly develop an organic CMOS image sensor that outperforms conventional image sensors. The new organic CMOS image sensor offers the industry's highest dynamic range of 88dB, advanced sensitivity 1.2 times more sensitive than conventional sensors and broader range of incident angle to enable the production of more sensitive and compact cameras with better image quality.
The two companies will promote the application of this organic CMOS image sensor technology to a wide range of products including security cameras, in-vehicle cameras, mobile device and digital cameras.
A conventional image sensor consists of a silicon photodiode for capturing light, metal interconnect, color filter and on-chip micro-lens. The newly-developed organic CMOS image sensor technology uses organic photoelectric conversion layer with high absorption coefficient instead of the silicon photodiode, reducing the thickness of the light receiving section down to 0.5µ, a fraction of the thickness of a silicon photodiode. This structure provides the following benefits:

Today, many employees are skeptical of trust and commitment in the workplace. HR professionals work diligently to build and maintain the kind of organizational culture that instills trust and commitment among employees. Organizational effectiveness arises from the communication of high performance workers engaged in trusting and committed relationships. However, few management strategies specifically address the interrelationship of organizational trust and organizational commitment in the workforce.
This book answers the research question, ?What is the relationship between organizational trust and organizational commitment in the work force?? Answering this question is an essential first step for developing a strategy for increased organizational effectiveness as workers communicate and learn from one another through trust and commitment. . As HR functions attempt to add value, issues such as the impact of trust on internalization, monitoring and evaluation processes and criteria become critical to the company?s bottom line success. The study provides evidences that revived trust is likely to be enhanced by organizational commitment, which leads to improved performance.

Helping NJ Heroin Overdose Victims [AUDIO]
A pilot program, currently operating in Ocean and Monmouth counties, that calls for police officers to carry and administer the drug Narcan to heroin overdose victims has been so successful in saving lives that it's being expanded across the Garden State.
Gov. Chris Christie made the announcement Tuesday at a drug treatment facility in Trenton.
"Not only are we equipping and training our EMTs and police officers," he said, "but New Jersey State Police began Narcan training last month, and soon every State Police patrol vehicle will be equipped with this antidote as well."
The governor said that if the state has such an ability to prevent tragedy and save lives, then it should be making use of that resource.
"Every minute counts in these types of emergency situations, and so having our law enforcement officers as well as our first responders carrying and administering this medication may mean a difference of life and death for people in our state," Christie said.
Christie also said the War on Drugs, launched 43 years ago, was a well-intentioned program that had great hope of getting results, but has proven to be an abject failure.
In dealing with heroin and other addictive drugs, the governor said people need to understand that "this is a disease, and we need to treat this disease and give folks that have it the tools to deal with it. That's why we're taking this different approach. We need to focus on this treatment because we know that for many people — not everyone, but for many people — treatment does work."
Acting New Jersey Attorney General John Hoffman also spoke on Tuesday, and had a message of his own:
We're not going to leave anybody behind. This is a battle, this is a war and we're going to fight it on every front. One of those fronts is with people who have overdosed, and we're not going to leave that person behind. We're not going to assume that life can't be saved; we're not going to assume there's no hope."
Hoffman said the simple reality is "there's no way we're going to arrest our way out of a problem like this. We have to take a holistic approach."
