What is in this article?:
- Hybrid selection is huge
- Spread your risk
- Picking hybrids by smartphone
- Do your homework
Do your homework
It comes back to looking at data from several locations. Keep your eye on the most important element: consistent performance across a variety of sites and conditions.
"We can't predict next year's growing environment," notes crop production specialist Emerson Nafziger at the University of Illinois. "But having data from more than one location, even if locations are many miles apart, does a better job of predicting future hybrid performance than a single location."
The good news is there are plenty of great options.
"There aren't really many bad hybrids out there, but some may not do well in certain conditions," Nafziger says.
It certainly pays to know where they do and don't.

Help me become a bedroom musician
I'm a professional musician, but specifically a classical musician with essentially no experience with sequencing, recording, amplification, or anything to do with electronics. Can you tell me how I become a bedroom musician? [more inside]
Basic audio interface for Intel iMac
I do occasional audio recording with GarageBand. I just recently upgraded from a G4 tower to an Intel iMac w/Snow Leopard. I settled for analog audio in through the mic input on the G4 but I think I want to step up to digital input. I have an analog mixer, tube preamps, effects pedals, etc. so I don't need to have them in the audio interface. Midi I/O would also be nice but not necessary. What are my choices in a basic 2-channel Firewire(800)/USB(2.0) audio interface?
Xbox on iMac?
Is there a way to hook up an Xbox (original, not 360) to play using one of the new 27" iMacs as a teevee surrogate? [more inside]
Playing records and listening to my iMac through one system
I would like to set up a system where my turntable and my iMac all flow out of a nice set of speakers. I have no idea where to start. [more inside]
Which speakers should I get for my Mac?
I'm going to be relying on my iMac and the music stored on it for a while. I would like to get a set of speakers so that the computer sounds better. What reasonably-priced powered speakers have folks had success with? I'd rather not get a separate subwoofer. I'd be willing to get a small amp and use my small stereo speakers if all the other options are too crappy. Thanks.
Mac Speakers
I'm getting the new iMac in the mail on Tuesday, and I want to watch DVDs on it. I'd like to buy a set of 5.1 Surround Sound speakers for it, but as far as I can tell, you can't really just buy a set of speakers and plug them into the headphone jack on your computer. Or can you? My main interest in 5.1 Surround Sound is mostly for using the enhanced "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" DVD, so this isn't really that big a deal, but I haven't found a simple setup for 5.1 speakers online.
If this is indeed not possible, what's a good set of Macintosh-usable speakers that cost around two hundred dollars?

Take Five With Phil Cavalieri
Born in 1974, Filippo "Phil" Cavalieri grew up in an era where jazz-rock was at its peak. His formative musical years took place in Ferrara, Italy, where he played in the clubs with all kinds of bands playing everything from Jimi Hendrix to Barry White. As he was learning his instrument, Phil was influenced by Santana, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, and the guitarists of the classic rock bands of the seventies. Even though Cavalieri claims to be more of a blues-rock player, it was the influence of jazz that led him to the style of playing and composing in a different way of look at the improvisation.
Phil finished school and then moved to Holland, where he studied and played with different jazz players like Jan Kuiper, Winfred Buma and Leonardo Amuedo, and attended workshop by John Abercrombie, Charlie Haden, Scott Henderson, Gary Willis, John Taylor and Tuck Andrews.
Cavalieri started to play as pro in different bands around Italy in the mid-'90s and, since then, has proven himself as a world-class player and composer. In 2000, he started to play and compose with an independent label called Stranisuoni and worked in different projects with the Italian pop singer Luca Bui, bringing his new tunes to a national broadcast. After this experience of commercial music he turned back to jazz and started again with a new series of studies that took him far from the music for a full immersion research in how to create a personal way of playing and compose. He attended classes by a new generation Italian jazz players like Paolo Ghetti and Fabio Petretti, and graduated with a study of John Scofield's music.
Cavalieri's new way as independent artist started with a new composition that reflected the interest of the outside playing of Scofield and recent Wayne Krantz. The result is his new self-produced release, The First Third, that mixes outside playing and a bit of psychedelia ("Never forget the Grateful Dead!" seems to read between the guitar strings), where Phil plays different instruments on every tracksof course, with guitar as the main instrument. The album will be sold on CDBaby and fusion label Abstract Logix websites.
He currently teaches at Ferrara Music school of Modern Music and he is now writing his method of outside playing for fusion jazz guitarists, a revolutionary way for students to study the pluralities of outside playing with guitar.
Teachers and/or influences?
Leonardo Amuedo, John Scofield, Wayne Krantz, Scott Henderson, Jerry Garcia, Santana.
I knew I wanted to be a musician when...
When I was 16 I understood that I liked jazz more than other music, and I wanted to figure out what was inside that beautiful and difficult music that changed my way of look at it...and the guitar.
Your sound and approach to music:
My music often looks for outside elements both in melodies and solos. The most important thing is to build a strong theme; that, for me, is the strongest elements in a song. By the way, the rhythmic elements must rule in the solo, where the music must be made, not only with scales, but first of all with intervals used in rhythmic combinations.
Your teaching approach:
I want to build awareness in every student about the musical elements they like. They must learn the scales and the modes but first of all they must try to figure out their personal way of doing things, which can be even harder. I don't want to listen to students that play in the same way; they must understood what they like in other musicians and find what they can use in their own way, even for solos and writing.
Your dream band:
Buddy Rich on drums, Marcus Miller on bass, and Chick Corea on Fender Rhodes.
Your favorite recording in your discography and why?
ShaktiI love John McLaughlin's Indian stuff All the recordings by Tom HarrellI love his way of playing and writing songs. Reflection, by Wayne Krantzhe is a player that always looks for a new way of playing guitar. All the recordings by John ScofieldI think he has always been able to achieve the perfect tone when he plays outside.
The first Jazz album I bought was:
A big band vinyl album; I don't remember the title any more, but I was 14 years old and I thought it was such a cool sound.
What do you think is the most important thing you are contributing musically?
I think that I'm trying my best to play without trying to sound like any other player. It's so difficult; I'm certain that only this can help bring out new music from my strings. I think that searching for new music is endless work, but I want to shoot myself, as in a photograph, during this musical process, and I hope to find people that want to listen to my ideas and who might join me in this kind of project.

Here are highlights:
On the AJ/Dixie Carter story: "It's new ground. I feel like that's one of the reasons people are tuning into it. There's enough of a shadow of a doubt where people are watching, still trying to decide if they buy my side or A.J.'s side of the story. We've still got parts of the story to tell. Right now it's not even the beginning of the end. We're still in the middle of the beginning; there's still a lot of story to tell. So all I can tell the fans who have been watching and trying to make a decision is just stay tuned."
On the criticism that TNA doesn't create new stars: "I would say right now is the worst time to make those sorts of claims. You look at what's happening on television right now and the highest-rated storyline is between three homegrown TNA talents - myself, AJ Styles and Frankie Kazarian. Right now I feel like I've got a better rapport with the creative team, a better rapport with guys like Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan than I've ever had. I feel like I've proven myself to those guys as someone who is you have to hand him the ball, he will go forward and make something good out of it.
On the talent in TNA: "I've felt that A.J. Styles has always proven that he's a great in-ring competitor and on the television show. I understand the point. There have been times that guys who have made their name have been given opportunities, but at the same time, you've always seen guys like Bobby Roode, James Storm, the Motor City Machineguns, A.J. Styles rise to the top. Talent is going to rise to the top, whether they come from TNA or from outside."
In the interview, Daniels also discusses TNA going live, why the wrestlers don't feel more pressure, his Slammiversary match with Kazarian vs. Styles and Kurt Angle, the state of the tag division, and the tenth anniversary of TNA.

There are several options for financial aid for students who are interested in pursuing careers within the field of forensic science. Most of these options, however, can be found for students who are enlisted in programs that result in degrees (associate, bachelor, master and doctoral degrees), although some of these options apply for students involved in certification programs, as well. The three most popular forms of financial aid include scholarships, grants and student loans. Student loans typically come from federal or state sources. Student loans involve sources giving students money that is to be applied to help offset the cost of their education, supplies and other pertinent factors related to education such as housing or food expenses. Such loans typically require applicants to apply for them each year and credit the payment directly to the institution that a student is attending. Loans must be paid back, however. Government and state loans typically give students a grace period once they've finished their schooling – which is usually no more than three years – before they will have to begin paying them back. Interest is usually applied to these loans, which are usually financed in monthly payments. Some loans that may be of interest to students attempting to procure an education related to forensic science include Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans and Fannie Mae.
There are many types of organizations that provide scholarships, some of them a little unlikely. For example, the Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners awards a $2,000 scholarship to a qualified student who can submit an excellent personal statement detailing why he or she is interested in a career in forensic science. (Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners)
Forensic science students have many opportunities to get free funding for their education. The best place to look for forensic science scholarships is through the program that the student is enrolled in, as these programs usually have a few scholarships designated every year in varying quantities. However, there are plenty of national or regional scholarship options available to students who do not get scholarship money from their own institution.
There are many other scholarships offered through third party organizations, such as the FBI Common Knowledge Scholarship, the Grace M. Walsh Forensics Scholarships, the Ellis R. Kerley Forensics Foundation Scholarships, and the Accredited Criminal Justice Forensics Scholarship. All of these scholarships differ in their application requirements, some requesting proof of prior experience in forensic science, others asking for a personal statement that explains a student's interest in the field and career goals. Most scholarships are around $1,000, though there are scholarship opportunities in forensic science offering $2,500 or more. (BXScience)
There are quite a few scholarships aimed specifically at forensic science students. Below is a short list of potential options:
In most cases, a student who earns a scholarship that is designated as a "criminal justice" scholarship may apply it to an undergraduate or graduate forensics program, though there will likely be some exceptions to this rule. Students should ask the scholarship board about their guidelines before applying.
The vast majority of scholarships that students apply for and receive are not designated for any one specific academic program. The awarding committee may stipulate that students use the award for either community college, undergraduate, or graduate sudy, but they will usually not make any demands on students to use them for only, say, a bachelor's degree in nursing. Most scholarships are general, and students will find, with a little research, many scholarship opportunities available to them that are based on academic merit from high school or college, on extracurricular and volunteer experience, and on minority or gender status.
There are many online search engines available to students at no charge that can help them find scholarship opportunities. Students should also look for opportunities through their high school or the college that they are already enrolled in. There are many opportunities available through community organizations and businesses, as well.
Grants may also be procured by federal and state authorities, although many times, grants can come from private sources as well. Similar to loans, grants are a monetary sum that is awarded to individuals pursuing formal education. These funds can only be used for costs associated with one's education. However, unlike loans, grants do not have to be paid back. Scholarships are similar to grants in that they do not have to be repaid either. Options for grants for students studying forensic science include the Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grants Program. This program awards funds to individual units of governments or to specific states that are to be used to help finance the formal educational training of lab personnel within this field. Students should contact this program to see which states and governmental units are eligible to access these funds. Additionally, students should be aware that in certain instances, employers will actually help pay for an employee to continue his or her education. This can include pursing graduate or undergraduate level education, as well as professional certification.

Here we describe some of the techniques you can employ to reduce your fuel consumption. N.B. These techniques are primarily for a manual or stick-shift vehicle, not an automatic. Some techniques will work for all vehicles.
Skip a gear
If you drive a stick-shift car, you most likely love the ability to control when you change gear, and if you are anything like me, I like to change gear at the later part of my optimal range ( I like the thrill of accelleraton) Due to the nature of gearbox configuration, there is overlap between the gear ranges, so rather than burn at the high end of the rev meter through your gear changes, why not skip a gear as you move up? Try going from 3rd to 5th. In third, change earlier clutch in, gas up, change to 5th, and make the acceleration gentle till the engine comes into it's optimal performance zone.
Gentle Acceleration
Keep your revs lower for longer, means less fuel burnt.
Keep the Revs Low
Get used to the feel of your car, with a little attention, you'll feel when the revs are too low, and also where it is just out of comfort. for me the sweet spot is the low 2-3k range over and I change gear.
Try 5 below the speed limit
You won't notice the difference in travel time, and your stopping distance will be slower
Switch the engine off
Intersection of a main thrououghfare? The guy at the toll booth in front of you is having an argument with the cashier? traffic is backed up for as far as you can see? turn the engine off! According to another site I read, restarting the engine does not require significatly more fuel. NB Some models of car will lock the steering wheel when the car is switched off. Make sure you do not switch the engine off in situations where you require steering.
Stop Accelerating sooner than you normally would
I don't know how many times I have hit the gas to get up an onramp onto the highway only to brake 10 seconds later as I get too close to the car in front of me. Stop accelerating sooner slip into neutral and see how you go.
Change to Neutral
You are running down a hill, you have plenty of space ahead of you, and no cars behind you. if you look at your rev gauge, you may find that even though you do not have your foot on the gas, your revs are still high. This is because the wheels are forcing the engine to turn, slowing you down, and consuming more fuel. Slip into neutral, and watch your revs go down. Bear in mind you are less in control of your vehicle in this state, and be extra vigilant for situations in which you may need to accelerate. Please note, this one is somewhat contentious, for more detail, click here.
Don't use your engine as a brake
When you do this, the wheels force the engine to turn over faster, your revs go up, so does your consumption
Only fill Half your Tank
Filling up with only half a tank instead of a full tank will give you less weight and better fuel efficiency (if keeps the psychological impact of the cost down too). (Thanks to Mike for this tip)
Unleaded vs Premium Fuels
There is debate about this one, tested on numerous TV shows like Mythbusters etc. Is it really" better to burn out than fade away?"
My view is that there may be more energy in high octane fuel but it get consumed faster. A number of the TV tests show the lower octane fuels being more fuel efficient. As for me, I love the extra 'tiger' in the tank, and think its good for the engine, I put optimum fuels in every 3rd or 4th time I fill up. Check the pitfalls page for and additional tip re high octane fuel. There are also varying idea's about this tip, click here for more info
Sure there is stuff you can do when you drive, but the better maintained your car the more fuel you can save, do you know that not having your tyres inflated to the correct pressure uses more fuel? I have heard figures on 10% for each 5KPA under. Additionally, a clean air filter helps reduce fuel consumption (more oxygen in the mix?)
Tyre (Tire) Selection
There is a tyre manufacturer where I live that makes silica tyres they claim save 7-10% on your fuel bill by having a lower 'rolling resistance'
Plan your route - Schedule your day
There are two main factors to consider to reduce your fuel consumption, don't drive as far, and don't spend a lot of time in traffic Knowing where you're going, combining multiple trips into one trip, and finding a more direct sequence in which to run your chores all helps.
Use a GPS - and go the other way
I have a couple of GPS, I love them. Much to my wife's disgust, I use the GPS even when going to a nearby store (I like my extra speed readouts ok?). The great thing about the GPS - you always know where you are, and where you're going. My unit allows me to chose faster route, or shorter distance. I always have faster route set, but shorter distance could lead to better fuel efficiency (you may have to take some funny shortcuts!) Here is the thing I have noticed. The GPS most often routes me via main thoroughfares, which is a good thing, however, these routes tend to have more traffic! Sometimes a small variation of your route (take a secondary road that runs parallel to the suggested route) can give you a good route, but without the traffic congestion.
Cycle or use other modes of transport
Believe it or not, it's faster and healthier for me to cycle in to work than drive.. so catch a train and read a book or exercise.
(David Brunelle suggests www.bikestation.org has some good resources)
Live close to where you work
If you can arrange your lifestyle in such a way as to minimise your fuel usages then this is a good option (thanks to Olenga/Phoenix for the tip)
Eco friendly vehicle
There really is no longer any excuse, the technology is improving every day, it's just a matter of which version you prefer.
Fill up on Tuesday.
Of course the petrol companies don't collude on prices. Of course they don't put prices up as soon as a barrel of crude goes up, and then not drop them down after the price drops, but you'll notice that it's cheaper to fill up on certain days than others, going on a road trip before easter? You may find the price higher just before or just after the holiday. The price of fuel fluctuates weekly, seasonally, and with geo-political markets. The cheapest day to fill up in my city, is Tuesday.
Get a lighter car, not a tank. Take heavier items out of the boot if you're not using them.
Air conditioning / Windows down
Wind your windows up and use the air con if you are traveling fast, the lower air-resistance will improve your efficiency, instead of the windows, try a more aerodynamic way to get air in the car (sunroof with aero etc.) (Thanks to Brad Root, SeekBalance for the tip)
Don't be fooled, these techniques will not just fractionally improve your fuel usage, I think (anecdotally) that I get a third to double the amount out of my car using some of these techniques. (i.e. I fill up every second week, rather than every week)
Try Google
There are a number of products on the market which claim to help reduce your fuel bill, why not do a search in your favorite search engine?

252 Tasting Notes
A very enjoyable dark oolong that is lighter and does not have any clear roasted notes. Overall a smooth rich taste that is slightly earthy and woodsy and at a very cheap price for oolong that does not equate low quality in this case.
Wow I used to think that herbals are pretty much herbals but boy was I wrong. This one is not as sweet and honey like than the other chamomile tea I have on hand. Not that it is bitter or anything is wrong with it, just that it lacks the natural honey flavor notes that I fell in love with another brand.
Its been a while since I've had Chamomile tea so it is really hard to judge how it compares to others. What stood out to me with Bigelow Cozy Chamomile the most is the sweetness of the floral notes that come off as tasting a bit like honey to me. So if you like Chamomile with honey this could be worth trying if you want to try reducing your sugar intake as you might find that it does not need honey. Overall a good tea but quite honestly if it wasn't the need for getting to bed at a decent time and the fact that Chamomile is a natural sleep aid I would not be going out of the way to drink it, but this is good enough to be a semi regular evening tea for me.
I've never had Champgane before so it is hard for me to fully evaluate the wine aspect of this tea. Overall it has a very light and delicate flavor where even the raspberry blends in well so it comes off more as light flavor notes and not overwhelmingly fruity.
Pink Sonama is a very wonderful fruity white tea that comes off as being more like white wine than a tea in some ways. If you love White Zinfandel wine than you will love this tea as it has the same sweet light fruitiness and melon like flavor notes.
Normally Assam is not a favorite tea of mine as it comes off as way too malty in a bitter way but this one is actually very good. The tea comes off as lighter for an Assam with a wonderful Cabernet aroma and taste that goes with it. Even if you don't think you like Assam tea, if you enjoy Cabernet red wine then this is a tea that is really worth trying.
A fairly light and sweet tasting young sheng puerh, without any overwhelming bitterness or smoke. Overall a smooth taste and a light golden amber brew with only a little minor astringency. This is also a "high energy tea" that one could get "tea drunk" on with enough from how you start to feel it in time
This one proved to be a very tasty mini tuocha with a very nice light and smooth Menghai taste. Clearly not made from cheap broken leaves and dust as this mini tuocha easily beats out a lot of cheap bricks and even cakes that I've run across.

Where are they now? 2013comment (0)
April 25, 2013
On April 27, 2011, nearly 50 Alabama Baptist churches were damaged or destroyed. The next four pages represent 15 of the most heavily damaged churches and where they are now. Many of them are celebrating the completion of new buildings, while others are still in the rebuilding process.
*Boone's Chapel Baptist and Faith Chapel Baptist were hit April 15, 2011.
Concord Highland Baptist Church, Hueytown
Concord Highland Baptist Church, Hueytown, marked its first service in its new church building Easter Sunday 2013. The former church facilities were destroyed when a tornado hit April 27, 2011. The tornado removed the entire back side and steeple of Concord Highland's building and all the windows were blown out.
The church broke ground on its new building May 2012, and Pastor Richard Larson noted the building was completed a couple of weeks before Easter Sunday. The new building is located across the street from the former building, and the sanctuary seats about 250.
The first service in the new building, which includes the sanctuary, fellowship hall and classrooms, had an overflow crowd. "It was just a fantastic day," Larson said.
To celebrate the opening, the church held an open house April 14 and invited people from the community to visit the new building.
In addition, a dedication service will be held April 28 at 11 a.m.
According to Larson, many people who helped Concord Highland rebuild will attend.
Boone's Chapel Baptist Church, Prattville*
A tornado hit First Baptist Church, Albertville, when Mike Johnson was serving as its pastor in 2010. He moved to Boone's Chapel Baptist Church, Prattville, and four months later — April 15, 2011 — it too was hit by a tornado.
It's been hard — especially the death of some of the church's neighbors during the storm — but God has been good in the midst of heartache, Johnson said.
"The Lord provided a quantum leap for this church," he said of Boone's Chapel Baptist. "It would've taken us a decade without the storm to accomplish what's been done in a year's time."
After the storm took out the sanctuary — which the church was already beginning to outgrow — it began meeting in its multipurpose building, which survived the storm.
"Before, 200 was pretty much our max in attendance," Johnson said. "But recently we had to order 450 pew chairs, and we're running two worship services."
Much of that growth is due to the new preschool and children's space the church was able to build after the tornado, he said.
"We chose to go that direction because we as a church are pretty heavy in ministering to the community," he said. "We have gained a lot of new families through this."
And the church is baptizing new adult members "at least about every other week," Johnson said. "There are a lot of people coming to faith in Christ."
The church dedicated its new facility April 14.
"It's unbelievable," Johnson said of all that's happening at Boone's Chapel. "It's the Lord's doing."
Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, Centre
Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, Centre, has seen a lot of tragedy in the past two years. Its building was largely destroyed by an EF4 tornado that lifted the building off its foundation and set it down again.
That was April 27, 2011.
On July 3, 2011, Pastor Steve Tierce was paralyzed in a car accident.
And Feb. 1 of this year he passed away.
Tierce's wife, Patty, said the outpouring of love from the community and church family has been "amazing" during the difficult time of recovery and in her husband's passing.
For now, Pilgrim Rest Baptist continues to meet in a mobile chapel provided by the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions.
The church is planning to rebuild soon.
Mamre Baptist Church, Wellington
Mamre Baptist Church had only been in its brand new building two years when a tornado demolished it April 27, 2011.
Not to be discouraged, the church rebuilt — a replica of the same building — and dedicated it in November of the same year.
In the time since, the church has constructed a Christian life center and an awning to connect it with the main building, both of which were completed in the last couple of months.
Emmanuel Baptist Church, Hackleburg
After an EF5 tornado destroyed Emmanuel Baptist Church, Hackleburg, the congregation and Pastor Gene Thomas decided they weren't going anywhere. The church rebuilt, with the help of several volunteers and Carpenters for Christ, and dedicated their 5,000-square-foot building in November 2012.
Since then, the church has welcomed new members and baptized three new believers, Thomas said.
"We're doing good. … The Lord has blessed us," he said. "People are enjoying the facility and the (new) building. Some of us still stand in awe about what we've got and how we got it. We haven't forgotten that God used a lot of people to do this for us."
Emmanuel Baptist's van ministry, which began after a van was donated to the church in 2012, runs every Sunday and picks up about 12 adults and children for Sunday morning services.
Thomas said the church also is looking forward to Vacation Bible School and a new sports ministry in summer 2013.
Cullman First Baptist Church
By the first anniversary of the tornado, First Baptist Church, Cullman, had replaced the roof, ceilings, walls and stained-glass windows destroyed in its sanctuary by the storm. The tower for WCQT Channel 27 was rebuilt, and the gymnasium roof was repaired.
Now the last piece is in place — a new steeple, completed in fall 2012.
Faith Chapel Baptist Church, Marion*
After the April 15, 2011, tornado hit Faith Chapel Baptist Church, Marion, the church had to postpone the renovations and additions it had been planning for several years in order to focus on making repairs.
But after May 2011 repairs were complete and the church continued with its plans to renovate and add on to the existing building. Now the fellowship hall, classroom, kitchen, dining area and two handicap accessible bathrooms are nearly complete.
Pastor Lloyd Stockman said the new addition should be finished by mid-May and a dedication service will follow.
Stockman said previous years of Vacation Bible School (VBS) had to be held outside under tents due to a lack of space but the church is ready to have its first VBS inside the building this summer with the extra 1,500 square feet it will have when the addition is complete.
The rebuild of Alberta Baptist's building is "in the relatively early stages," but it's "coming along good," said Pastor Larry Corder.
After an EF4 tornado basically destroyed the church's facilities two years ago, Alberta members took 40 days to pray and seek God's direction on whether to relocate, merge with another facility or rebuild on the same spot.
"We decided that if we didn't go back to Alberta, there would be a void there," Corder said. "We have been able to meet a lot of needs (after the tornado), and it has broken down a lot of barriers in the community."
The church has spent a lot of time moving soil and preparing the new building's foundation, he said. Footings have been poured, and the support columns are up for the new sanctuary.
The church hopes to be in its new building debt-free sometime in January or February of 2014.
East Side Baptist Church, Cullman
East Side Baptist Church, Cullman, is weeks away from moving into its new nearly 21,000-square-foot facility.
After the previous building was demolished in an April 27, 2011, tornado, East Side Baptist began meeting in Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church, Cullman.
East Side sold its old property and bought new land to build on. The new building, complete with "ample bathrooms and a large fellowship gathering area" is set to be complete around June 1. East Side will host several events as the church "reintroduces" itself to the community, Pastor Ken Allen said, including a dedication service June 23; a family weekend June 29; an open house July 14 and a return to regular services and Bible studies July 21.
Allen said the major thing that happened after the tornado was the opportunity to "go back to the basics" of what the Bible says about church. "We really have been able to cast a new vision and go back to the biblical meaning of what it means to make disciples," Allen said.
Fultondale First Baptist Church
The roof on the south side of First Baptist Church, Fultondale, was torn off in the April 27, 2011, tornadoes. The church also lost its steeple and all of its windows on that fateful day.
But that did not deter the congregation from rebuilding and moving forward, even while they were without a pastor.
In September 2012, First, Fultondale, called Mika Marcum as the new pastor and continued to transform the church inside and out as they began to "wipe the church of the 'used to,'" Marcum said.
A new welcome center, offices and Sunday School rooms were completed in March 2013 and a multipurpose room, more offices and some landscaping are close to being finished.
The church plans to hold a dedication service in late May.
Mount Hebron East Baptist Church, Eclectic
Only the foundation slab from the fellowship hall was left at Mount Hebron East Baptist Church, Eclectic, after an EF4 tornado hit its buildings April 27, 2011.
The church had to start over, and they "accepted the challenge and had the vision," Pastor Bob Williamson said.
Instead of building a 60-seat sanctuary like before, they built one that seats 140.
"We have more Sunday School rooms than we did, and we have a baptistry and paved parking, two things we didn't have before," Williamson said.
People from six states have donated money, and "a lot" of Alabama churches have stepped up to help with the rebuilding.
"It's been a coming together of God's people to see the church built back so it can do ministry out there," Williamson said.
The church will dedicate its new sanctuary April 28.
Stamp Baptist Church, Valley Head
Stamp Baptist Church, Valley Head, was back in its repaired sanctuary less than a year after a tornado damaged its buildings. It also completed a fellowship hall before the first anniversary of the storm.
"We're back to normal in that respect," said church member Tyler Pair. "We are stronger now than before."
But they haven't forgotten the brutal storm. "We had a member pass away because of it," Pair said.
Stamp Baptist will remember her during its regular church services for the second anniversary of the tornado, as it did last year.
Mountain View Baptist Church, Phil Campbell
Two years after an EF5 tornado wiped out three of its buildings, Mountain View Baptist Church, Phil Campbell, is "working hard to bring our rebuild to completion," said Pastor Sammy Taylor.
The goal is not far away, as the church sign and steeple have just been added to the finished building. Builders for Christ under the direction of Lawrence Corley provided most of the labor. The church is waiting on dry weather to pave the parking lot.
Wellington First Baptist Church
Members of First Baptist Church, Wellington, breathed a sigh of relief when a tornado passed by to the north a few weeks ago.
The tornado that destroyed its building April 27, 2011, was the second to hit the church in the last three years, and they were thankful there wasn't a third — especially since they had just dedicated their new building in November.
"We got it completed, and we're doing well," said church member Julia Heathcock.
The church had been meeting in the family life center — which was untouched by the 2011 tornado — ever since the storm. "It's good to be back in the sanctuary," Heathcock said.
Mountain View Baptist Church, Sylvania
Only rubble was left when a tornado hit Mountain View Baptist Church, Sylvania, but less than a year later, they dedicated a new building.
And now, the church is celebrating more than just a new building — it's celebrating a "wonderful spurt of growth," said church member Deborah Greeson. "We're doing great."
Mountain View Baptist has added 19 new members since Oct. 1, 2012, Greeson said.

DIESEL Black/Gold
Fall/Winter 2013
For his second collection, Diesel Black/Gold, creative director, Andreas Melbostad did great when it came to the label's Fall/Winter 2013 line up. I love the direction the Diesel Black Gold collection is going every season and the new age sexy/modern/cool it represents. The collection was the perfect amount of leather, dark colors and splashes of white. I am also a fan of the accessories, as I always am. The Diesel Black/Gold collection nails it, not only with the ready to wear but also with the bags, shoes, etc. The collection is super modern and has all the right touches, from the chunky exposed zippers to the paneling and details among the leather. It was also really nice to see a Diesel collection really get back to it's roots with the hardcore textures garments and studs. I mean, you know me and studs get along very well!!!

My son and I thought this french toast was outstanding! He and I both gobbled it up. Thank you for a great recipe. We did not make any adjustments.
I've never made french toast like this before - I've always used a fork to mix, not a mixer. Seemed to turn out the same in the end. We enjoyed the cinnamon & nutmeg spices. Made exactly 8 using Texas toast. Thanks for a nice recipe.

Closer look at Thermalright TRUE Spirit 140, Archon SB-E and Archon
The Xigmatek will try to compete against as many as three products from Thermalright: the TRUE Spirit 140, the presale sample of the new Archon SB-E, and the well-known Archon. We've examined and tested the latter model a number of times, so it will only be used in the tests for the sake of comparison. We will focus on the first two models for now.
So, the TRUE Spirit 140 is shipped in a stylish black box with a picture of the product on the front panel and its specs on the other sides. The Archon SB-E has modest packaging with only two words on it: the names of the manufacturer and product.
The accessories are identical except for the user manual and minor things like the key and sticker included with the Archon SB-E.
One important difference is that the back-plate of the Archon SB-E is only half as thick as the ones of the Archon and TRUE Spirit 140.
We don't know the reason for that. The slimmer back-plate bends too much when the cooler is installed and the resulting pressure force is lower than with the standard back-plate.
From a design point of view, the TRUE Spirit 140 and the Archon SB-E are no different from the original Archon. It is a tower design with six copper heat pipes carrying aluminum fins.
Except for its base, the TRUE Spirit 140 lacks any nickel plating and its fins are 0.1 millimeters slimmer than the Archons' (0.4 compared to 0.5 millimeters). The Archon SB-E has 1 fin less than the TRUE Spirit 140 and Archon (49 instead of 50).
The fins of the TRUE Spirit lack the characteristic ledges that optimize air flows within the heatsink body.
One more simplification we can spot in the TRUE Spirit is that it lacks any soldering. Its fins are simply press-fitted on the pipes and there's thermal glue in the base. As opposed to it, the Archon SB-E uses soldering for every point of contact between the fins and pipes and in the base.
The single notable difference of the new Archon SB-E from the original Archon is the diameter of the heat pipes. Instead of classic 6mm pipes, we've got 7mm ones here. This difference can be easily noticed in the following photos:
The larger pipes are meant to make the cooler more efficient with Intel's Sandy Bridge-E processors which have a larger die size and call for a larger area of contact with the cooler's sole.
The Archon SB-E has a mirror-like surface whereas the sole of the TRUE Spirit 140 isn't finished that well.

No Syria solution in sight by UN leadersBy RON DePASQUALE
THE Associated Press | October 03,2012AP PHOTO
This image taken from video obtained from the Shaam News Network shows smoke rising from buildings due to government forces shelling in Daraa, Syria, on Tuesday.UNITED NATIONS After countless speeches, meetings and behind-the-scenes discussions, the war in Syria remained the unsolved problem that loomed over this years gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.
As the weeklong meeting of the U.N. General Assembly ended Monday, there were no breakthroughs on a civil war that has vexed diplomats, paralyzed the Security Council and raised new questions about the relevance of the United Nations.
Anyone willing to look closely, however, might spot a few signs of movement. The new international envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said he saw an opening for a solution and was working on a new approach after visiting Syria. The Emir of Qatar and other leaders in the region called for some kind of Arab-led intervention. But details were hard to come by.
The lack of progress on Syria has undermined the U.N.s credibility, Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson said in a press conference Tuesday.
I recognize that we here in the United Nations have to prove that we can present international solutions that work thats the big issue, he said. And of course I will admit openly that the fact that the Syria tragedy goes on day after day is very damaging for the standing of the United Nations.
While there was no solution, talk about Syria was heard everywhere.
Over seven days of speeches to the General Assembly, Syria was discussed by one country after another, from Albania: Syrians are suffering a primitive bloodshed by a regime that has irreversibly lost its legitimacy to lead; to Zambia: Humanity has again been embarrassed by this unnecessary carnage.
Dozens of nations excoriated the regime of President Bashar Assad for its role in a conflict that has killed at least 30,000 Syrians, according to activists.
Even the worlds top diplomat joined in. After Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with Syrias foreign minister Monday, the U.N. chiefs press office issued a blunt statement.
The Secretary-General raised in the strongest terms the continued killings, massive destruction, human rights abuses, and aerial and artillery attacks committed by the government, it said. He stressed that it was the Syrian people who were being killed every day, and appealed to the government of Syria to show compassion to its own people.
Ban again went after Syria in a meeting later Monday on the threat of chemical weapons, alluding to the widely held belief that the Assad regime has stockpiles of them. Ban warned that the use of such weapons would be an outrageous crime with dire consequences.
Assad had a few defenders, like Iran, Cuba and, most notably, Russia. Moscow, Syrias biggest protector, has joined with China to block three attempts by the U.S. and European Union nations to pass Security Council resolutions aimed at pressuring the Assad regime into negotiating a peace deal. The last threatened sanctions.
As the General Assembly wound down Monday, Syria got its chance to defend itself.
Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem described a vast global conspiracy bent on bringing down his government.
The media was provoking extremists, al-Moallem said, and inventing a refugee crisis 300,000 Syrians have fled, according to the U.N.
The Americans, Europeans and fellow Arabs were all to blame for meddling in Syrian affairs by calling on Assad to step down. Neighbors like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey were arming and financing terrorists who were trying to overthrow Assad, he said.
This terrorism which is externally supported is accompanied by unprecedented media provocation based on igniting religious extremism sponsored by well-known states in the region, the minister said.
After mentioning terrorist or terrorism 24 times in his speech, al-Moallem then said the government was ready to negotiate with the opposition and work together to stop the shedding of Syrian blood.
Propaganda was the swift response from the chief opposition group, the Syrian National Council, which released a statement saying the latest offer of peace talks came from a brutal and delusional Syrian regime that continues to pay lip service to diplomacy.
Members of the opposition acknowledged that neighboring Arab countries are supporting the rebels but said the Assad regime has only itself to blame after its bloody response to protests that began peacefully 18 months ago.
The entire week at the U.N., which included a high-level meeting of foreign ministers on Syria, amounted to little more than handwringing, said Andrew Tabler, a senior fellow and Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Time would have been better spent planning for a transition if and when Assad finally falls, he said.
Its those who are taking the shots against the Assad regime that will be calling them after Assad is gone, he said.

The Great Sydney Swim, Finial
The main swim at each event is the 2.2km, incorporating categories for all age groups (youth to masters) male and female, there is also an elite level race showcasing Australia and the World's best open water swimmers. The format of the swim will vary for each location to incorporate a refreshing new approach on this great Australian tradition.
With the CHC value being 'enjoyment in every experience', our desire is to encourage wider community involvement in the program. Therefore we have included an additional event over the distance of 750m to cater for the less experienced swimmer or those who are just feeling like a casual splash.

Every swimmer will receive a great race pack including a silicon cap and sponsors product. The action won't be limited to the water with trade and sponsor exhibitions, food and drink outlets, and promotional giveaways taking place on shore.
The Great Australian Swim Series is more than an ocean swim it is an experience, enhancing participants sporting involvement and providing a fun and festive morning out for individuals and families.
So take the plunge this summer and join in the festivities of the Great Australian Swim Series!

"Reflection in a line" maps any vector parallel to the line into itself. It maps any vector perpendicular to the line into its negative.
So: What is a vector in the direction of the line ax+ by? What is a vector in the direction of ax+ by= 0? What is a vector perpendicular to it?
Another way: find the rotation matrix, A, that rotates ax+ by= 0 to y= 0. The matrix that refleclects about y= 0 is . The matrix that reflects in the line ax+ by= 0 is .

This thread is proof that even if one of the greatest metal bands of all time does a 2+ year tour where they drastically change the set nightly, some folks still bitch. Why don't I see as many posts whining about sets under artists who play the same short sets night in and night out. Does Iron Maiden play as long of a set and change their set up nightly like Metallica? If you don't like the band, shut up and don't read the thread. Is that hard? Go back over to blabbermouth to hate.

Abstract Details
Transarterial chemoembolization with/without cryotherapy is associated with improved clinical outcomes of sorafenib for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma
Wang C, Lu Y, Wang H, Gao X, Bai W, Qu J, Xu G, Zhang Z, Zeng Z, Zhou L, An L, Lv J, Yang Y. Exp Ther Med. 2012 Aug;4(2):188-196. Epub 2012 May 10.
Center of Therapeutic Research for Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Beijing 302nd Hospital, Beijing 100039, P.R. China.
Sorafenib may prolong survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but with limited efficacy. The present study aimed to prospectively investigate the efficacy and analyze the prognostic factors for survival in sorafenib-treated patients with advanced HCC. The baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of 110 patients with advanced hepatitis B virus-related HCC treated with sorafenib with/without local therapy (transarterial chemoembolization with/without cryoablation) at a single liver cancer center were recorded. Predictors of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined by multivariate analysis. A total of 14 (12.7%) patients achieved complete response (CR), 16 (14.5%) achieved partial response (PR) and 40 (36.4%) achieved stable disease (SD) lasting longer than 8 weeks. The median OS and PFS for the whole cohort were 10.5 [95% confidence interval (CI), 8.7-12.3] and 5.0 months (95% CI, 3.7-6.3), respectively. Sorafenib in combination with local therapy was an independent predictor for longer PFS, whereas Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) and Child-Pugh class were associated with reduced PFS. Local therapy was associated with longer OS while ECOG PS and α-fetoprotein were associated with reduced OS. In a subset of patients with radiological progressive disease, a significant difference was found in OS between patients who continued taking sorafenib and those who discontinued therapy (11 vs. 7.5 months, P<0.001). In conclusion, sorafenib in combination with local therapy (transarterial chemoembolization with/without cryoablation) was independently associated with longer OS and PFS in advanced HCC patients. Poor ECOG PS was associated with shorter OS and PFS and is thus a marker of poor outcomes in sorafenib-treated HCC patients.

Definitely the brightest pupil of the class, LG have got it covered when it comes to fulfiling their promis of a TV investment in 2011. Boasting the largest LED-backlit 3D LCD HDTV with a mind-blowing 72-inches, local-dimming LEDs as well as TruMotion 400Hz to smooth out those evasion techniques, LG introduce the LZ9700.
There's support for Smart TV functions that enable users to access TV apps, games, language classes, etc. A Magic Motion Remote Control will also be included with the set.
No price has been set yet, but it is known that the Tv will be able in "early 2011″. More can be heard about this beauty next week at CES…

Big changes are coming to Western's campus.
Construction on the voter-approved Vision 20/20 project starts this summer.
First on the docket is the new parking structure, and soon after is the heavy equipment and truck facility. Those are two of several projects over the next three years which will mean some programs re-locating and a lack of parking spaces.
But administrators say it's necessary for what it will all bring. "When we're finished it's going to be such an improvement, we're just encouraging students and employees and guests to pardon our dust while we plan for the future," said Western President Lee Rasch.
All construction should be finished by mid 2016.

Adobe Creative Cloud – bewarePosted by: admin in Uncategorized
So, we are now Creative Cloud for Teams members. We have 5 seats in the subscription and a lot pain. Why pain? Well let me just point the aches:
– the invoice system is not yet in place. Yes, they changed the subscription types and did not manage to put the invoicing system in place. You have to call support every month and ask them to send you the invoice (it's funny since they managed to automatically get the cash from the credit card but they are not issuing the legal details about it) and this brings me to the next point:
– the support is awfull. Either you call in US or you chat with an indian guy. If you make the call, chances are you talk with another indian person. Bad english is de facto and when spelling I need to pull all my geographical knowledge to understand the spelling. They use Bombay for B, Calcutta for C and so on. If you don't know cities from India you might get the letters wrong. Also the poor guys are so restricted in the information they have access to that you are forced to jump from one to another until you find someone who can help you. When going to support by chat you get the typical prepared phrases and little information. The last time they said to call by phone and gave me a link (http://www.adobe.com/ro/company/contact.html). Nice, what should I call from there? They finally gave me explicitly the number, something like 800-xxx-xxx-xxx. Nice. What country is that? US. Ok, what are the working hours? 07-17. What is the damned timezone? PST. Super. I have given the guy my information just before that, he could read I was from Europe, am I a mind reader to know what to do with that number?
– the third point is about the maze that is the adobe.com website. Good luck finding something there.
Unfortunately you have to cope with all these since they still have a stranglehold on imaging processing. So, arm yourselves with patience, you'll need it. I for one spend much more time with Adobe licensing issues than with all other license providers used by my company toghether, and they are not few.
UPDATE: now you can download the invoices. yay

So I don't know how common this is, but its probably the one things that's giving me the most problems right now.
As my various back issues have progressed, my upper body has become much more compact, and its reached point in the last year or two where my ribs are basically jammed up against the iliac crest of my pelvic bone. At first it was barely noticeable, but its continued to get worse and now is causing me huge amounts of discomfort and pain, and its becoming a 24/7 sort of relentless thing. This is the main thing that has pushed me over the edge and convinced me to go seek out treatment. ( And brought me here! )
I guess I was just wondering if this is common at all or if anyone here has to deal with this?
I have both scoliosis and kyphosis, but the scoliosis is relatively moderate and I think more of a side-effect of the kyphosis. I've scoured the web and I've only seen this mentioned a few times when discussing osteoporosis and scoliosis in the lumbar region, and usually in what would be considered "severe" cases. Since its never mentioned with typical kyphosis cases, it makes me worry and wonder if there are other things going on that I should know about.

John Mayer Joins The Rolling Stones On Stage In New Jersey (Video)
Singer/songwriter John Mayer will join the The Rolling Stones at the group's New Jersey show in Newark on Thursday night - but don't expect him to sing.
Katy Perry's rumored boyfriend was silenced by vocal problems last year and he's still resting his voice - but that isn't going to prevent the guitarist from hitting the stage with the rock legends.
The gig was the first of two Stones 50 and Counting shows at the Prudential Center; Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and The Black Keys are set to join Mick Jagger and his bandmates onstage on Saturday, when they close their brief run of shows with a concert that fans will be able to watch live via select pay-per-view cable channels.
Eric Clapton and Florence Welch joined them for a 50th anniversary show in London and Mary J. Blige and Gary Clark Jr. joined the group for a recent gig in Brooklyn, New York.
The Stones and Clapton were part of Wednesday night's 12-12-12 The Concert for Sandy Relief benefit show in the Big Apple.

Training camp is just over one week in as the Kansas City Chiefs try to best prepare for their first preseason game, coming up this Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium as the Arizona Cardinals come to town.
While there are normally a lot of questions to go along with the expected shuffling of the depth chart, it seems that the big stories at Chiefs' camp—other than wide receiver Dwayne Bowe being absent—are ones that the team can hang their hat on as the regular season approaches.
Any and all news is worthy of a mention with your favorite NFL team this time of year, but here are the most shocking developments for the Chiefs at training camp so far.

RUSH: Remember last week? I was frustrated when John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, said (paraphrasing), "You know what? We're not gonna do immigration reform. It doesn't matter what we do. The president of the United States isn't trustworthy. We can't count on him to enforce whatever law we pass. We can't count on him to enforce the laws of the land now. He's out making his own laws up, so to heck with it." Which became: "Boehner is a coward, doesn't have the guts to stand up to talk radio." That's how they analyzed that.
But, anyway, Chuck-U Schumer has come along now with an idea. (laughing) He said (paraphrasing), "Hey, no problem. You don't trust Obama? Just delay it 'til 2017 when he's gone. Go ahead and pass it now, pass amnesty right now and just don't implement it until Obama's gone to the great Obama Library for Social Justice, wherever it is, in 2017. Problem solved." And, meanwhile, we just sort of run right by the idea that the Speaker of the House of the United States of America says the president of the United States can't be trusted because he makes his own law. It's just as commonplace as getting water from the faucet. It's an impeachable offense and it of course doesn't matter.
