Dr. Bergman Presents: Sciences War Against Christianity & Epigenetics: Key to Genetic Variety, March 8, 2016, Grace Bible Church
Did you know that scientific evidence supports biblical creation, yet evolutionists fight and suppress the true facts? Or that scientists who believe in a young earth or worldwide flood, as described in the Bible for example, are often prevented from publishing their work in scientific journals?

Creation Science Seminar: 'Answers Conference', November 16, 17, 2012, Brookfield, WI
Ever wonder if the book of Genesis is relevant today? What about dinosaurs, did they ever live with man? Is the earth really millions of years old or is it young? Does the rock and fossil record back up either claim? Have they ever found the remains of an apeman, or can we really believe there was an Adam as the Bible teaches?
The conference is free and open to the public, but a free will offering will be taken. All sessions will take place at Brookside Baptist Church, 4470 N. Pilgrim Rd., Brookfield, Wisconsin. Get Directions

Dr. TerryMortenson is a theologian, historian of geology, and author for Answers in Genesis (AiG). With a PhD in history of geology from the University of Coventry in England, Dr. Mortenson has been studying and speaking on the creation-evolution controversy in 21 countries since the late 1970s. Many of his popular lectures have been produced as DVDs and TV programs. He also holds a Master of Divinity degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. Like many creationists, Mortenson grew up in an education system that taught evolution as fact. He began to see the fallacy of the idea of millions of years of evolution in his early college years.
Tim Chaffey holds a B.S. and two M.A. degrees in Biblical and Theological Studies. Chaffey is the founder and director of Midwest Apologetics, a ministry dedicated to defending the word of God from the beginning to the end. He is an apologist with a passion for training young people; he speaks regularly at AiG's Creation Museum, camps, schools, and churches. Chaffey specializes in the Creation vs. Evolution controversy, which led him to write his first book, Old-Earth Creationism on Trial: The Verdict Is In (co-authored with Jason Lisle, Ph.D. in Astrophysics.)

Hoping, praying for a Chick-fil-A kind of election day
In 2010, JT Harris asked the crowd of about 150 people waiting to see US Senate candidate Ron Johnson at the Waukesha County Republican Headquarters, How many of you are asking God for one more chance to turn this around? My hand shot up as did most in the room.
Christian, don't sit this election out, vote God's values
It is estimated that between 17 to 30 million Evangelical and self identified Christians did NOT vote in 2008. I know many conservative Christians (I know several) voted 3rd party in 2008, because they believed voting for the lessor of 2 evils is still evil.
Hear some Good News! Missions Week: Oct. 24 - 28, 2012
In a world that is constantly bombarded with bad news, it's good to take a break from that and hear something positive for a change. This week at Brookside, you have the opportunity to be encouraged and learn about what is going on around the globe during our A Heart for the Harvest missions conference.
Love the unloved for the sake of His name;
Like Christ, befriend those whose heads hang in shame.
Jesus did not condemn, But was condemned for them.
Trust gospel pow'r, for we once were the same.
Rescue the lost for the sake of His name;
As Christ commands, snatch them out of the flame.
Tell that when Jesus died, God's wrath was satisfied.
Urge them to flee to the Lamb Who was slain.
Christians join Max Lucado's 40 Days of Prayer For USA; it starts today
What can Christians do for our nation? Pray!
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have given us this promise: "...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
So, we pray to you. We turn from evil and look to you, our God. Please:
Unite us
Strengthen us
Appoint and anoint our next president
In the name of Christ we pray,
Some might be inclined not to pray or not even vote in this election, since the nominees don't share their faith. But keep in mind that when Timothy penned his exhortation to pray "for rulers and their governments to rule well", those rulers were Romans (pagans). We are to pray for those in authority over us. And as one of my pastors urged, we can and should vote for principle and character.
Max Lucado concludes his info page with this: "Like you, I am a concerned citizen. Like you, I believe in God's power to heal our nation. But we must pray. 'You people who remind the Lord of your needs in prayer must never be quiet.' (Isa. 62:6)."
"Only God can unite us. Let's ask Him to do just that."
Please note that this post is not directed to people of other religions; it is directed only to Christians
On Sept. 11th, my first thank you goes to God
Eleven years have passed since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and in those 11 years, our world has become a much more dangerous place: Iran is working on becoming a nuclear power, the Arab Spring is now controlling once tourist friendly Egypt, the entire middle east is in upheaval. Yet despite this increased unrest, our nation has been kept safe from additional terrorist attacks.
A verse from Psalm 127:1 comes to mind:
...Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
As I wrote in 2008, reflecting on our Sept. 11th experience out in South Dakota, "Our nation held its collective breath, waiting for something else to happen after those first 4 plane crashes. Thank God, it didn't.
"After a few days, we started our trek home. Just as there are no atheists in foxholes, we saw "God Bless America" signs pop up everywhere--from gas stations, to fast food restaurants, to city hall marquis. People instinctively knew we needed divine intervention.
"I really thought we could be in for a string of attacks. That life in America would come to resemble life in Israel, where attacks and explosions are commonplace.

A blessed Good Friday & Easter to you
Though the word Easter and even some non-religious Easter Bunny themed events have come under attack by the P.C. crowd this year, Good Friday through Easter or Resurrection Sunday still mark the most important 3 days of the year for a Christian. It is during this time that we remember the crucifixion, sacrificial death, and burial of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and then celebrate His resurrection on Sunday.
"The Importance of Worldview" & literal 6 day creation, Tuesday, April 19th
If you are a Christian, does it matter if you believe in the literal 6 day week of creation as described in the book of Genesis?
Find out why 6 literal days is important this coming Tuesday evening, when local business executive Gerald Frye, of Elm Grove, will present, "The Importance of Worldview" at the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee's monthly meeting.
Mr. Frye spoke to the group last year detailing how Purpose Precedes Creation and did an excellent job. I would anticipate this talk to be equally interesting.
This month, the CSSM meeting will be held at 7:15 pm in Brookside Baptist Church's auditorium. Brookside is located at 4470 North Pilgrim Road in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

Brookfield's Dr. Scott Hardin, "From Fish to Amphibian, a Practical View" Tuesday, 7:30pm
Ever wonder how a fish could evolve into an amphibian? While they both begin their lives breathing through gills under water, the amphibians soon leave their tadpole days behind as they mature. They not only develop legs, they also develop air breathing lungs. Toads and salamanders go on to live on land near water, and frogs live primarily in the water with occasional trips to Terra firma. How could 2 such complicated anatomic changes occur by chance?

Christmas celebrates Immanuel: The God with us
About 700 years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah the prophet of Israel wrote about the coming Savior of the world:
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign:
Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us].
Isaiah 7:14 Amplified Version
Just for fun: What if 1st Christmas were today?
Need to take a break from the pressures of preparing for Christmas? Take a look at this clever video of the events recorded in Luke 2:1-14 and Matthew 2:1-12, put into the context of today's technology. It sure made me smile.
Physicist Dr. Don DeYoung discusses Design From Nature Tuesday, 7:15pm
Most of us know that the inspiration for Velcro came from the common burdock plant's annoying stick-to-you seed pods, but few of us realize nature inspires many innovations for man.

A Good Friday, Saturday, and Easter Sunday to you
Good Friday through Easter or Resurrection Sunday mark the most important 3 days for a Christian. It is during this time that Christians the world over remember the crucifixion, sacrificial death, and burial of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and celebrate His resurrection on Sunday.
Will you see the Dead Sea Scrolls? Want to learn more?
Are you planning on seeing the special Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum? I have heard it is spectacular. It is the largest special exhibit our museum has ever produced. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been traveling the museum special exhibit circuit in the U.S., but this one, I have heard, incorporates even more artifacts into the exhibition.
I don't often quote Jon Stewart, but "Poor Al Gore" cancels Copenhagen

PBS just announced they will not allow any new religious programing on their airwaves. Reason? Separation of Church & Stations!
National Day of Prayer: Meet at City Hall Plaza flags, Thursday, May 7, 12:20pm
This coming Thursday is the 58th annual National Day of Prayer in America. All across the country people of faith will be gathering around the flag poles at schools, city halls, and other public places to pray for our country and leaders. Some events are well organized; some are just a generic invitation to meet at your city hall flag pole from 12:20 to 12:40 pm.
Lest we forget: Holocaust Remembrance Day & Hallmark's Irena Sendler
While many in the world remember the Holocaust on this day, The Day of Remembrance, Iran's President Ahmadinejad spoke before the UN anti-racism conference, spewing his usual Holocaust denial sentiments. Those comments prompted "Dozens of diplomats" from Britain and Europe to walk out. The United States, Israel, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand and Poland did not opt to attend at all, because of concerns that the forum "would be used as a platform for attacks on Israel."
Easter blessings & Saturday and Sunday services

ABC's John Stossel is having a new special on government waste Friday night, on their weekly news show 20/20. It is entitled, Bailouts and Bull. I heard John talk a little about it today, and one of the subjects he will address is 4K or universal pre-school. It sounds like it will be interesting.

Christians pray to change Obama's heart, Vatican criticizes Obama on abortion

Ad celebrates Obama's mother's choice during Sanctity of Life week

A must read article, atheist says, "Africa needs God"
For the second time in a few weeks, another atheist acknowledges God as an important factor in helping people. The first time was in an email I received from an atheist in California concerning my Are you naughty, nice? Stingy, generous? blog on giving. In that blog I concluded "the real litmus test on giving is religion." My atheist emailer then replied, "Never thought I'd say this, but thank God for religion then, if it makes Conservatives altruistic."

Are you naughty, nice? Stingy, generous?
Christmas is the season of giving. Many charities make their year end pitch during the Christmas season. Whether you respond to their pleas or not, may depend more on your politics and religious beliefs than your wallet.
It's nice to see a little bit of Christmas in advertising
Have you noticed? Some stores are actually using the word, CHRISTMAS, in their advertising this year. It is nice to see. After all, Christmas is the reason people go out in the cold, spend money they don't have, and brave the crowds!
Little bit of "Christmas" in ads
I've noticed, have you? Kohl's Department Stores are using CHRISTMAS in their advertising!
Washington State Holiday Hate Speech
Holiday hate speech at State Capitol
Our state capitol in Madison has a Christmas tree (I am using last year's term), a menorah for Hanukkah, and I think something for Kwanza too. I am fine with that. They are holidays celebrated in December by people of various religions and cultures in our state.
Madison's "Censored" Tree
Last year, the State Assembly had to fight to get the Capitol Christmas tree called just that, a CHRISTMAS tree. In our culture, if it were not for Christmas, whether you celebrate it as religious holiday or secular, why else would you cut down a tree and bring it indoors?
1st Amendment rights threatened, will you be Speechless?
The year before the 1st Thanksgiving
Most people are not aware that the Pilgrims arrived in the new world in November of 1620--one year before the day we commemorate as the first Thanksgiving.

It is true; I don't get out much. But even I notice that the retail world goes directly from Halloween to Christmas decorations, totally ignoring Thanksgiving. Every year, the Christmas decor comes out earlier and earlier.

Obama, Are you for or against Same-Sex Marriage? Yes
Obama's I'm against same-sex marriage but against ending it's practice via California's Proposition 8 rings about as true as Wisconsin State Senator Jim Sullivan saying, he is for Voter ID but not for a state constitutional amendment referendum question requiring Voter ID. It's doublespeak for I don't want the current situation to change, but don't want to be on the record as saying so.

of having something wrong with my breastmilk? I don't have a wonderful diet, but I do eat veggies, fruit, yogurt, and protein every day. My baby is VERY small although the doc says that she is fine, she's just a peanut. She is just over 12 pounds at 7.5 months, however she is gaining at each visit. She has reached all of her milestones so far. She is sitting up, smiles ALL the time, plays, socializes, rolls, etc. She nurses about 5 - 6 times a day, and usually once in the middle of the night. My question is that my family is concerned about her weight (mom, sisters....) and they just won't let up. Every time they are around, they make some stupid comment about how she's hungry, or "THAT'S all your going to feed her!?!?!?". She is my 3rd child, and deep down I believe that everything is okay, but when you hear these comments every day, it makes trusting your own feelings difficult.
So.....is it possible that something is wrong, and I'm just not seeing it? What are the chances that something is wrong with my breastmilk? Could it be missing something that's hindering my LO's growth?

PHILADELPHIA - Shirin Karsan, a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine's Masters of Bioethics program, has been awarded a Fulbright Grant for the 2009-2010 academic year. The Fulbright Program, established in 1946, is an international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government designed to improve understanding and relationships between U.S. citizens and residents of other countries.
Karsan, the only School of Medicine student from Penn to receive the award this year, will conduct research on Muslim perspectives on the ethics of emerging sciences and bionanotechnologies in the United Arab Emirates. She will work with a team from the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at the UAE University in Al Ain, along with the philosophy department at the American University of Sharjah. Karsan will also coordinate with the UAE's Chairman of the Human Research Ethics Review Committee. Karsan has also been awarded a Critical Language Enhancement Award to learn Arabic.
"The emphasis of my research in the UAE will be on the impact of religion -- Islam in particular -- in defining the limits, if any, of new technologies," Karsan says. "I will be conducting research related to neuroethics in neurosciences and neuroengineering, and in reproductive ethics in the UAE regions."
The Fulbright program, which operates in 155 countries worldwide, provides accommodations as well as a stipend to cover expenses during the fellow's year abroad. Participants study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas and discuss solutions to mutual international concerns.
Karsan received her undergraduate degree from Thomas Jefferson University. She was an Industry Liaison at the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute and is affiliated with the Drexel-Penn Optical Brain Imaging team. Her goal is to earn a PhD related to her Fulbright research.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine has been ranked among the top five medical schools in the United States for the past 17 years, according to U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $392 million awarded in the 2013 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania -- recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; Chester County Hospital; Lancaster General Health; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.

Column: Defining region lies in identifying what it offers
- published_in
- Today's News
Those were a couple of the more interesting questions posed by Aaron Fodge, a transportation planner with the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization and a presenter I heard from on the first day of this year's Leadership Northern Colorado class.
For the next six or so months, I'll be attending Leadership classes and reporting back to readers on all that I learn and see. The program, a partnership between the Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley chambers of commerce, is meant to bring together individuals from our two counties and introduce them to some of the many organizations, companies and sights and sounds that constitute Northern Colorado.
There are 32 of us in this year's program, and if the first day is any indication of what's ahead, there's a ton to learn.
The first full session took place in mid-January, and the day began at McKee Medical Center in Loveland, where the group heard from Fodge.
In the course of his presentation, Fodge highlighted several of the infrastructure and physical features that make Northern Colorado unique, but also asked a set of questions that got the conversation going.
The responses I heard suggest that in order to create a separate identity, Northern Colorado needs to do more to leverage the area's assets to position itself in the best possible way.
Of course, this includes some our of our most visible and well-known institutions, such as CSU, UNC, the Rocky Mountain Innosphere and others, but the remainder of the day served as a reminder that some of the really interesting things about Northern Colorado are sometimes overlooked or forgotten.
The first tour of the day took us to Art Castings of Colorado, the bronze foundry that decades ago became the root of the arts culture that is so strong in Loveland today.
The business began in 1972 in a 2,500-square-foot building that, over the years, has grown to 25,000 square feet. Clients at the foundry range from local sculptors to film giant Pixar, for which Art Castings was busy forming and assembling dozens of sculptures of Buzz Lightyear, from the "Toy Story" movies, for Pixar to present to 10-year employees.
Inside the foundry, a complex and painstaking multi-step process occurs every day, executed by highly trained professionals. Some of the employees have been with the company for more than 20 years.
It's loud in there, and the smells are varied and can be unpleasant. In the areas where the welders work, visitors are warned to avert their eyes or risk being blinded by the light. All in all, it is not a place where one might envision spending a few decades.
But the workers there seem to enjoy every step of the process, from the initial wax-pouring phase to the final stage during which color is applied to the bronze and bases are attached to sculptures where needed.
To me, at least, this facility, tucked away in a semi-industrial part of Loveland, is one of the many hidden gems that can be found in Northern Colorado. From Art Castings sprung Loveland's identity as an arts community, an identity that has led to the amassing of more than $8 million worth of art scattered about the city.
This identity as an arts-centric place touches most of Loveland's marketing and is also the reason for two sculpture festivals every summer that draw residents and tourists alike into the city.
After our tour of the foundry, the group headed to the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation, a federal lab located on CSU's campus in Fort Collins. There, genetic material for more than 800,000 plant and animal species is kept under lock and key, ready and waiting to re-generate a species in the event of some disaster.
Some samples are kept in cold storage, while others are cryogenically frozen, and all are kept in a vault built to withstand floods, tornadoes and fires.
The lab receives and preserves samples for people and institutions from all over the globe, and is one of just a handful with similar preservation capabilities worldwide.
Because the facility is a federal lab, its existence is more commonly known, but like the foundry, it is one of the lesser-known assets of Northern Colorado, at least compared to other CSU facilities such the Engines and Energy Conservation Lab.
The center is a testament to the sort of innovation that can be found in Northern Colorado, as well as the amount of trust the federal government and frankly, people the world over, put in the university and the community.
At the end of the day, I felt as if we all took a small step toward helping answer Fodge's central question. But with five more months to go, I think we'll all have an even better idea as the program unfolds.

REST Web services Framework interview questions answers
12 comments :
- Anonymous said...
This article is riddled with errors and inconsistencies...
To point out a few:
- The RESTful architecture is not a 'relatively new concept' it was developed in parallel with HTTP. Maybe you mean it has increased in popularity for web services?
- It focuses on resources, not system resources
- It is simpler by design but not necessarily simpler to use - SOAP has a lot of tooling for quick generation of WSs
- "REST uses HTTP protocol for producing or consuming web services while SOAP uses XML." Well, no, more often than not SOAP uses HTTP as its transport layer. Requests to RESTful web services can be encoded in XML.
- And as far as thread safety, this should absolutely be a concern. A 'resource' in rest-speak is the noun - a customer, a receipt, a product and while the controller handling the request might have a new controller instance to handle each request, each of the services called by the controller to save or load these resource representations should be checked for thread safety. At some point you will probably query a database and you wont have an instance of your database for every request...

SOAP Web Service Still rules and if you are going to work for already existing Web Service or going to develop new Web Service client, you are likely to work with SOAP Web Service in Java. Most of the interview questions I face on J2EE interviews related to Web Services are related to SOAP Web Service and only few of them are from REST Web Service. One question which puzzled me is that does Java has special support for REST Web Service ?

Some more to add
What is the difference between put and post?
How authentication can be added on the restful web services?
Is this a new technology, or correct use of the http methods?
How threads are handled and what all Data structures are used in the restlet API, If one is using the restlet api?
How the pooling of the threads are maintained inside the reslet API?
What are the different API supports the restful services?

the last Minnesotan in the bee fell out in round 9 (of 19) by misspelling cancrizans*, a hopelessly useless word which would prolly only be of interest to someone who collects hopelessly useless words. not even Douglas Hofstadter would use this word in writing of crab canons (as he was wont to do).
*she spelled it cancrazanz, greatly overthinking the Latin roots.

Douglas Hofstadter: whodat? Ah, yes: Works by Douglas R. Hofstadter (b. 1945)
1979 Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. The professor of computer science at Indiana University explores human consciousness and the connections among mathematician Kurt Gödel's Incomplete Theorem, the art of M. C. Escher, and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Despite its complex subject, it wins the Pulitzer Prize and sells more than 100,000 copies in the year following its publication. (from Answers.com)

RE: Am I going to be able to understand it?
sentences and paragraphs made sense... but pages and chapters didn't!
i think the book would be a great one as a group read along. (not that i am suggesting it!)
i think it would be more understandable with discussion, and with a group (like us) who have some artists (who could show other examples of how art works), and muscians, who could play the music and walk us throught the subtles that we tone deaf miss, (and who could play the music for those of us, who are unable to read music and "hear" it in our heads) and mathmaticians (even if only amature mathmaticians) who could help those who are mathphobic.
for me, understanding of the ideas was elusive.. i would read and understand, but not so well that i could ever explain it to others. -i never 'grokked' the ideas, the connections, the overallness of the book.
it was like one of those random dot astiagrams. (magic pictures) that i could never quite make come into focus.. but could at fleeting times 'see'.
(i can do RDA's in seconds. and i can also 'find' the same optical effect with many other objects. fences, grills (on radiator covers), wicker, screens and other 'regular' interference patterns can be used to create the same 3D effect. --i can pop in and out of focus with these patterns/ on other patterns.)_________________________

Maybe if you try, say, Finnegan's Wake first it might seem comprehensible by comparison. I'm with the consensus here. As long as you don't try to read more than one sentence at a time you'll do just fine.

DH introduces each chapter(?) with a 'conversation' amongst Tortoise, Crab, Achilles, et al. these are quite readable (and clever), and purportedly relate to the gravitas of the chapter.

Star Alliance Officially Opens New Lounge at SÃO PAULO – Guarulhos Airport Terminal 3
São Paulo, Brazil –July 25th, 2014 –Star Alliance officially opened its new Lounge at São Paulo –Guarulhos Airport, Terminal 3 today. About 1,350 square metres in size, the lounge can accommodate up to 295 guests and is open daily from 12.00 noon to 03.00 in the morning. Access is granted to passengers travelling on Star Alliance member airlines from Guarulhos in First or Business Class or holding Star Alliance Gold Status. The lounge is located on the mezzanine level, overlooking the atrium and the airport apron beyond, and can easily be reached by escalators or elevators.
In line with the new Star Alliance lounge concept (already implemented in Buenos Aires, Los Angeles and Paris), local touches and flavours have been combined with global branding elements. This has allowed for the creation of a very Brazilian look and feel, reflecting the strong artesian heritage of the country, by the São Paulo based architects Indio da Costa A.U.D.T. Studio. The use of wood, rope, natural fibres and typical ceramic finishing bring cosiness to a sophisticated interior and provides a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere to customers. Some of the country's most talented designers used mainly native Brazilian materials to create specially handcrafted furniture. This gives the lounge a unique ambiance, with the various seating areas divided into a variety of different sections, each with their own appeal.
The lounge was developed and is operated by In Flight Solutions Brasil on behalf of Star Alliance. For those wishing to work, free wi-fi access is provided throughout the lounge, with convenient power and USB outlets available. A dedicated business centre and free wi-fi printing is also provided.
Complimentary hot and cold refreshments can be taken from a well-equipped café area. The bar area and two further coffee stations provide additional drinks. A selection of local and international newspapers and magazines is available as well as televisions showing international news and sports channels.
For those wishing to freshen up, four fully equipped shower suites are available in addition to the standard restroom facilities.
Flight information displays ensure that customers are kept informed on the status of their flights.
12 Star Alliance member carriers offer on average 44 daily flights to and from Guarulhos Airport, connecting to 22 destinations in 16 countries. This makes Guarulhos the Alliance's most international operation in Latin America.
Air Canada, Air China, Lufthansa, SWISS, South African Airways*, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, TAP and United all operate from Terminal 3, Avianca will remain in Terminal 1 and Copa Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines will continue to operate from Terminal 2, where third party lounges will be available for eligible customers.
Globally, Star Alliance First Class and Business Class passengers as well as Star Alliance Gold Card holders have access to more than 1,000 lounges.
Photos of the lounge can be downloaded from: http://xturnover.dk/staralliance/gru/lounge/
*SAA will move into T3 as of August 2nd, 2014
About Star Alliance:
The Star Alliance network was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer worldwide reach, recognition and seamless service to the international traveller. Its acceptance by the market has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award and Best Airline Alliance by both Business Traveller Magazine and Skytrax. The member airlines are: Adria Airways, Aegean Airlines, Air Canada, Air China, Air India, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, Avianca, Brussels Airlines, Copa Airlines, Croatia Airlines, EGYPTAIR, Ethiopian Airlines, EVA Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, South African Airways, SWISS, TAP Portugal, Turkish Airlines, THAI and United.

Condom dresses (middle two outfits) and designers from last year's runway show.
Shadowbox Live's doors open at 7 p.m. tonight, Oct. 17, for the annual Condom Couture fashion show featuring clothes CCAD and OSU students designed out of 800 or less Proper Attire condoms. Local community leaders will be modeling the looks.
"I never thought I'd be so excited to wear condoms," joked Condom Couture model Amee BellWanzo, a breast cancer awareness advocate and singer. "My designer [Krista Sison of CCAD] is a truly talented artist who is making a stunning gown. And, best of all, I'm happy to support Planned Parenthood."
The event raises money for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio (last year it raised nearly $70,000 for the group). Tickets range from $45 to $145.
Students with the top three designs will receive cash scholarships. The judges are Maren Roth, owner of Rowe boutique; David Swetman, conceptual menswear designer at Abercrombie & Fitch, and Esther Chung, artist and instructor at CCAD.

Question 1: I am the proud first timer of a seven week old baby girl...Exclusively BF. Weight gain: 7llb/3oz to 10lbs at last visit over a week ago. At least 10-12 clear pees a day and 5 yellow (dark Yellow) poops. BF every 3 hours. Just curious about let-down reflex... My milk lets down several times in between feedings and feels very tingley. LO sleeps abput 5 hours at night and I soak through shirts at night. Should I be pumping in between feedings?? If not, will it affect production???
Question 2: Also, LO sometimes seems increasingly hungry and seems unsatisfied after nursing (fussy, sucking hands). She nurses 15 minutes on the first side and less on the second. I will start on the second breast at next feeding and alternate... Am I doing this right? She has PLENTY of wet diapers and is gaining well, but sometimes she just seems hungry. Is 3 hours too long to wait?

Buy for$9.01(9 items)
Written by Susan on 19.05.2013 at 22:24
This band has released many solid and amazing albums over the years but the last one, Ancestral Romance, I didn't love.
Overall, they're probably one of the best, most solid power metal bands out there, and still quite underrated for it! May this album put them back on top.
Written by Patrick Andersen on 29.05.2013 at 16:28
These guys are not that familiar to me, but I'm really curious about this new album. I bought Ancestral Romance as a new release, but haven't given it the time of day yet. I get the impression that they're right up my alley though, so I'm excited about that.
Written by mikeprado30 on 18.06.2013 at 04:55
Dark Moor is a band with two ages. First was from 1999 to 2003, when the singer was Elisa C. Martín (ex-Fairyland, Hamka, Dreamaker), with her the band did an AMAZING Power Metal sometimes with symphonic elements but not so much as nowadays. Also Elisa's voice is not the cliche operatic you'd expect from any band of this kind, she ROCKS!!!
And the second age is from 2003 to nowadays, with Alfred Romero in vocal duties. Alfred undoubtedly is a singer who has grown in his voice quality throughout the years. Surely he doesn't this times the screams that recorded in the band's homonymous album, but he catches you with some amazing Baritone vocal performances very powerful, and sometimes he sounds alike Khan.
I'm digging now this new album now that it's leaked and I must to say that is a little slower than their previous releases from which I'm listening, but the catchiness and the powerful sound (without mentioning the great guitar solos by Enrik García and, of course, the tremendous Alfred's performances) are still here. I thank this line-up remains and I hope more albums from them
Written by Patrick Andersen on 18.06.2013 at 09:22
Thanks man, that's great. It sounds really promising and tailored to my tastes in a lot of ways. I'm definetely gonna be digging through their discography.
Written by mikeprado30 on 19.06.2013 at 06:58
I recommend you beginning with their best album with Elisa: THE GATES OF OBLIVION (also their best one and part of my top-10 ever), and also their best with Alfred: AUTUMNAL (this one is like hearing Nightwish with a baritone)
Written by Patrick Andersen on 19.06.2013 at 10:31
Hmm, that's nice. The Gates Of Oblivion and Autumnal... I'll see if both of the online-stores I frequently visit have got those two availaible.
In your opinion, is their discography a consistent one with only good albums, or?

Is this typical of the post-Dreamaker lineup (all I've got is this and Gates Of Oblivion)? If so, I'll have to get more.

The BEST natural color with a pop of color. Please NEVER retire Maya. Perfection in a tube!!!
Love this product
I love Stila's Color Balm Lipstick. I bought "Amelia", a very flattering pink. What I love about this product is that its like a hybrid lipstick. It is a balm texture, with light opaqueness, shine (not excessive) and it also leaves a light stain after it wears off. Its exactly what Ive been looking for! I cant seem to find a product that does what this lipstick does, even when looking into more expensive product lines. I hope that Stila keeps this product and that it gets more of a following for its uniqueness and its great qualities.
Color Balm is the bomb!
Bought this amazing lipstick in Amelia during the summer... Still in love with the color! Most lipsticks dry on your lips after a few minutes, but this keeps your lips hydrated throughout use! My only complaint would be that it doesn't last all day.
Bring back 'Esme' lipstick!!
I was SO disappointed when Stila discontinued the "Esme" coloured lipstick. Up until I discovered Esme, I was using Stila's "Stella". Of course, that colour has also been discontinued! It is maddening when beautiful shades of red are taken off the market. Esme was the perfect colour (though a bit drying). It was noticeable without being garish. I have not yet found a replacement... People's skin colour really don't change so companies should not be so quick to delete a good line. If a colour is flattering, why not keep it around?!
Amazing color--compliments my skin tone
The Gemma color was the first vibrant lipstick I ever bought previously, I had been sticking to safe and somewhat boring neutrals...till I sat down with a Stilla consultant and she dared me to try this color and I've never looked back! I have jet black hair and cool skin tones, slightly olive and brown eyes. This color makes all the girl friends want to wear the same color too!
Hello, maya!
Maya is so so pretty on me! I search high and low for a pretty terracotta shade and though Maya in the tube didn't not look like what I wanted (I thought it too brown at first), it looks great on. Long lasting, not drying. Great for work because it's not too LOUD. I have fair skin (warm undertone), dark brown eyes and hair... When i'm not feeling pink or coral, maya is for me!
creamy vibrate color
I have Amelia,lovely pink that I could wear night and day. I love rub to it on my lip and it stays really long.
Nothing like I expected :(
After the best experience with Stila's long wear lip product I expected better for the cost of this product. I made the leap to purchase looking for a replacement of the discontinued long wear lip. The case design is horrible for this type of lipstick. The width/size of the lipstick is beyond what works. The lipstick is constantly wasted on the barrel/tube. It makes a horrible mess and I can't stand to use it anymore. I will not purchase another.
Wonderful Lipstick Balm
I chose Sonya and it is a very pretty color. I like it for day or evening wear. It is very hydrating and I plan on going back for another color. Gives a slight beautiful shine and the peppermint wakes up the lips.
allergic to peppermint
I wanted to like this. I loved Esme lipstick in the lipsticks and have been waiting for stila to come out with lipstick again. However, I am allegeric to peppermint so this makes my lips tingle unpleasantly and flake. Vey uncomfortable. The search to replace Esme continues.

Important qualities to look for in a spiritual director
Over the last 25 years or so, I've noticed with bemusement an unfortunate trend in the United States in which an increasing number of lay people arrogate to themselves the title of "spiritual director."

Even lay people who have some formal training... [Read more...]

I've spent the past week searching for the bright side, keeping one eye on the weather and counting down the days till spring. For some reason, this winter has been tougher for me than years past and it's been an effort to keep digging myself out and plowing ahead. Waking up this morning to burst and frozen pipes was the icing on the cake, so I turned to others for solace, inspiration, comfort and joy. Fighting the blues, I had to dig deep, and was surprised that 17th century poet Anne Bradstreet resonated, since poets are generally not my thing. "If we had no winter," she wrote, "the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." Really, Anne? Wish I had thought of that.
Thankfully, one doesn't have to look very far in the Catskills, and the greater Upper Delaware Region once again came to the rescue as I traversed the countryside seeking reminders of why I live here, part-time adversity aside. Missing the warmer months, I took note of the fact that the Sullivan County Farmers' Markets (www.sullivancountyfarmersmarkets.org [2]) had moved indoors a while back and had set up shop (www.delawareyouthcenter.org [3]) on Creamery Road in nearby Callicoon, NY. "Perfect," I thought, as I packed up the wonder dog and headed out in search of home-grown veggies, a potted plant, and a cup of good cheer.
Thrilled that the roads were dry, I joined the crowd inside and began to peruse and schmooze, admiring the woolens, handbags and spices, while grabbing the opportunity to catch up with pals who peppered the place.
Pastries and breads (www.brandenburgpastry.com [4]) beckoned in addition to confections from Aunt Nenee's, now in a third generation of bakers serving the community out of Hurleyville, NY. "No we don't have a website," Denise Canter told me, while proffering a scrumptious sample, "but most people know who we are. My parents used to sell to all of the hotels, back in the day, and we're still here. This is our home."
Eyeing the pasta, I moved on and chatted briefly with Bob Eckert (www.northernfarmhousepasta.com [5]) who explained that he and wife Jen are "new to the business"—with their second anniversary around the corner—but they are just as invested in the community. "These people are our friends," he said, looking around, "not just customers, and we look forward to seeing them every week, regardless of the season." Based in Roscoe, NY, the Eckerts use 100% organic flour from the Finger Lakes Region, and rely on local farms to provide them with "fresh, seasonal produce to create exceptional pasta and ravioli that highlights the local flavors these lands have to offer."
I stuffed my reusable bag with mushrooms from Heller's Farm in Bainbridge, NY; "Anti-Depressant" tea from Catskill Mountain Herbs of Bethel, NY (www.catskillmountainherbs.com [6]); and an aromatic cedarwood soap from Jim and Tracy Fawley (www.windypondfarm.com [7]) of Lake Como, PA. I spoke with the Fawleys, who enthused about their Nigerian dwarf goats and how the soaps are made. "I'm the milkmaid and he's the soap-meister," Tracy laughed. "Our neighbors call her the crazy goat lady," Jim added, waving me on to the soap-making demonstration taking place in the kitchen. Gudrun Feigl (www.mountpleasantherbary.com [8]) was in her element, describing the history of soap to a small gathering, taking them through the process, step by step, and creating bars of soap scented with lavender and sage right there on the spot. Observer Cynthia Capicchioni had driven from Hortonville, NY to take advantage of the workshop and was "captivated." I was, too, but decided it was better to support these entrepreneurs, rather than attempt making my own, and I made my way to the Brook House Gallery in Barryville, NY to observe (IMHO) more talented people engaged in creative activities that are better left to others (rather than to of my own devices).
Artists Beau Gostomsky, Hugh Hysell, Tricia Adler, Frank Mullaney and Mark Olivier were on hand (www.brookhousegallery.com [9]) at the reception. They joined resident talents Janet Rutkowski, James Hawley and Laurie Stuart who mingled with the mob of enthusiasts all there for an afternoon of sculpture, paintings, jewelry and more—including the fetching lamps that Adler had brought, made from recycled inner tubes, supported by branches and lit from within. While Dharma sampled the crudités, I snapped pics of the work and forgot about my malaise, discarding the blues in exchange for good times.
My pipes may be frozen, but it's comforting to know that my heart is not, as I meander the mountains knowing that spring is just around the corner. With a little effort, some mood-altering tea and the warm glow of an inner tube soothing my jangled nerves, I'm prepared for the winter of my discontent to give way to spring, anxious to see what adventures await. Since my pipes are bursting with excitement, I may as well get on board.


text: My son is almost 8weeks and I have always given fresh breast milk, today for the first time he will be staying...overnight at my mothers because we have an obligation out of town for the night. My highschool reunion. I defrosted for stored breast milk for the first time.....it smelled different than fresh milk, but not rancid...perhaps a little soapy. He took it fine, infact cried when I removed the bottle to burp him. It tasted a little weird but not bad and definatley not rancid, maybe a little soapy or floral tasting. The milk I gave him today was from 10/31 so almost a month in the freezer. If I did have and issue would he still take it? and if he did take it inspite of a lipase issue is it safe?

About half of the deaths of children who strangle in window cords have not been reported, according to an article in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association and co-authored by a staff member of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The study found that 49 percent of the total number of window cord strangulations in the United States were not being reported to the CPSC. The study estimates that total number from 1981 to 1995 was 359. These figures mean that nearly one child is strangling in window cords every two weeks. Almost all of these deaths (93 percent) are children three years old and under."Having this study published in a journal as highly regarded as JAMA will help bring attention to a hidden hazard that we have been trying to help eliminate since I came to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1994," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "Because of this study and the attention it generates, hundreds of young lives could be saved."The study was co-authored by Renae Rauchschwalbe, a Compliance Officer at CPSC and Clay Mann, Ph.D. from the Department of Emergency Medicine, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland. It is the first study to so thoroughly investigate how these deaths occur.The study shows that strangulation deaths from window cords happen most often when children are in places their parents think are safe: in a crib or in a child's bedroom. The study also points out that the deaths are silent -- the children can't call out for help. In 85 percent of the documented cases, parents were at home at the time of the incident.According to the study, there are two common ways children strangle in these cords. Infants in cribs near windows get tangled in the looped cords while sleeping or playing; and toddlers, trying to look out a window, climb on furniture, lose their footing, and get caught in the window cords.The mortality rate from window cords makes them among the greatest strangulation threats to children three years old and younger. Other products that present a strangulation hazard to children in the home and have been redesigned include strings on pacifiers, recliner chairs, accordion-style baby gates and electric garage doors. Eight-six percent of the window coverings involved in the incidents are venetian blinds or mini-blinds. Another nine percent are venetian-type vertical blinds. To address the problem of window cord strangulations, CPSC brought together industry representatives in 1994. As a result of that meeting, the Window Covering Safety Council agreed to eliminate the loops in future production of window cords and to provide free safety tassels for consumers. Production of safer cords began in 1995. In addition, and at CPSC's urging, the industry recently agreed to a voluntary standard that eliminates all loops on miniblind cords and requires the use of a tensioning device on the continuous loop cords that are used primarily in vertical blinds. The industry expects all production to meet the new standard by September, 1997.CPSC has also been working to educate parents on the dangers of blind cords through safety alerts, a series of national "Baby Safety Showers" and through mailings and posters sent to pediatricians."This is a hidden hazard that all parents should eliminate immediately. What parents need to know is that they can do something to prevent these tragedies," Brown said. "They can cut the loops of window cords, put on safety tassels, and move their furniture away from blind cords. These simple precautions can prevent a parent's worst nightmare."Parents can get safety tassels and tie downs by calling the Window Covering Safety Council toll free at 1-800-506-4636. For safety information on window cords, call the CPSC Hotline at 1-800-638-2772.Safety alerts regarding this issue are in Are Your Window Coverings Safe? -- English (pdf) or Spanish (pdf).

Masters in Teaching (MiT)
Master in Teaching Year 1
Sara Sunshine Campbell, Phyllis Esposito and Lester Krupp
child and adolescent development education teaching and social justice
|Fall: Tuesday 9a-4p; Wednesday 8a-12p depending on public school schedule; Thursday 8a-12p depending on public school schedule and 1-5p on campus; Friday 9a-4p.
|F 13Fall
|W 14Winter
|S 14Spring
|More than two decades ago, educator Marilyn Cochrane-Smith asked, "Can prospective teachers learn to be both educators and activists, to regard themselves as agents for change, and to regard reform as an integral part of the social, intellectual, ethical and political activity of teaching?" In the MiT 2013-15 program, we take up this challenge as we prepare teachers who recognize teaching as a political activity and knowingly take on the role of activist based on a commitment to eliminate the inequities that exist in classrooms and the broader community. If we are to be effective advocates for our students and to empower our students to transform their own lives, we must deepen, and perhaps challenge, our current beliefs about teaching and learning. As teachers we must develop within ourselves the emotional and intellectual attributes needed to understand, support, and teach our future students, and to meet their diverse needs. Future teachers can expect to see a more diverse population of students. The MiT program prepares teachers who can draw on the strengths of students from a wide range of ethnic origins, languages, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Further, these students will live in a society requiring people to engage diverse cultures through effective collaboration and creative problem-solving grounded in integrated technological skills and active use of a wide range of information resources. Thus, the MiT program will support candidates to develop as critical, reflective educators who not only care deeply about issues of race, class, poverty, and justice but are prepared to act on these issues to support student achievement.Experiences in classrooms serve as vital parts of the MiT program. Field experiences in urban, rural, and suburban communities enable teacher candidates to mediate their understanding of theoretical ideas and concepts presentedin program coursework. Likewise, our academic investigations inform teacher candidates' experiences in the field. These two sites for learning are bridged through meaningful activities that require teacher candidates to integrate what they learn across classrooms and coursework. Among the questions that will engage our study and practice are:

|Fall variable per school day Mon-Fri and 4p-7p Mon; Winter, Mon. 9a-4p; Wed., 4:30p-8:00p; Fri., 9a-2:30p; Spring variable per school day Mon - Fri and 4-7p Mon
|F 13Fall
|W 14Winter
|S 14Spring
|Teacher candidates in the Master in Teaching program benefit from two full-time, 10-week, student teaching experiences. Consistent with our goals for graduate-level teacher preparation, the winter quarter is provided between the two student teaching assignments for personal reflection, continued growth in classroom teaching knowledge and skills, attention to professional activities and development of a professional growth plan.The two student teaching internship placements are at different grade levels and in different schools, providing a well-rounded exposure to teaching in subject endorsement area/s with a variety of public school students. Candidates will be placed in classrooms where cooperating teachers have been identified by school districts as appropriate mentors for our teacher candidates. One student teaching placement is in a diverse, urban setting.The first student-teaching experience begins in late August or early September in accordance with the public school calendar. This model is based on research indicating that having a student teaching experience in the opening weeks of the school year contributes positively to the success of a first-year teacher.The second student-teaching assignment generally begins in early spring and continues toward the end of the academic year. With this second student-teaching opportunity, candidates will be able to (a) build upon previous teaching experiences, (b) gain an understanding of how teachers organize the curriculum in the closing months of the school year and (c) make comparisons between different school settings and grade levels.The narrative evaluation of student-teaching performance is based on the Evergreen faculty supervisor's observations in combination with the assessment of the cooperating classroom teacher. We use a nationally recognized assessment methodology that we have adapted for pre-service teacher education. As required by the state of Washington, candidates must demonstrate a positive impact on their students' learning. They must also pass a state-required Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) administered and evaluated by Pearson to be recommended for certification.
