For years Apple relied onto off-the-shelf microprocessors for its computer and consumer products, but with the launch of its iPad slate the company decided to design its own chip for it so to ensure exclusive capabilities and performance. In order to create its own chip, Apple had to acquire P.A. Semi chip designer two years ago and recently the company reportedly made another takeover and obtained Intrinsity, a high-speed chip specialist.
Intrinsity is known for its technologies that allow microprocessors or consumer chips to work at higher clock-speeds. It is rumoured that Intrinsity helped Apple and Samsung to overclock ARM Cortex A8 core inside Apple A4 chip to 1GHz from 650MHz, the frequency the core was designed by ARM Holdings. In addition, it is known that ATI Technologies, now graphics business unit of AMD, licensed Intrinsity's Fast14 technology, a patented logic family and a set of proprietary design methodologies and tools that automate the creation of multi-GHz digital logic.
According to an artcle from the New York Times, which quotes Tom R. Halfhill, an analyst for Microprocessor Report, Apple has acquired Intrinsity for $121 million. The transaction is likely to allow Apple's own chips to work faster than competing solutions thanks to acquired technologies and intellectual property. Increased performance essentially brings new capabilities to Apple-branded products that other devices might lack.
"This adds another arrow to their quiver. The purchase price is like pocket change to Apple, and they get a lot of benefit. Apple's products should handle tough jobs like playing video better than competing gear while devouring less battery life," said Mr. Halfhill.
With $23.16 billion in cash, Apple is the company that can make a lot of acquisitions in order to boost its portfolio of intellectual property. Since Apple seems to be interested in making its own chips, acquisitions of companies like Intrinsity is just what the doctor ordered.
Apple declined to comment on the information regarding Intrinsity purchase.

Skip to comments.The ***OFFICIAL*** Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread February 24th and 25th, 2006
Posted on 02/24/2006 5:11:41 PM PST by najida
Anyhow, in the process of cleaning out boxes, it came to me....the questions that we all ask ourselves as we uncover chunks of our long lost past.....
What WAS I thinking!?!
So, my questions to all of you are:
What hobby or interest did you have when you were younger that you still have a passion for?
Ok, now....is there something you used to do that you now think "I can't believe I used to like that!"
Same with music---
What was your favorite band/song in highschool, then early adulthood compared to now? (Those still in early adulthood have only 2 questions to answer. Or maybe just one ;))
Is there anything in your interests, hobbies or life that would surprise people who know you? (Nothing weird, just.....) And if it invovles being on wanted posters, you can skip the question :)
What would we do?
hunting? I prefer to watch the deer. I have been around the hunters, and deer all my life,have eaten deer, but never attempted to shoot one. I would rather take pictures of them.
Fishing can be boring, unless you're with the right guy.
I could think of a few things...but we've already been sent to our rooms! ;-)
Evening, Goodgirl!!
Make mine a mango margarita. I had one in Key West and I am hooked!
"I could think of a few things...but we've already been sent to our rooms! ;-)"
Our rooms, plural? Well, that's no fun. I thought we were sent to our ROOM.
These are good occupations!
I am a homebody at heart I guess. I just like the simple life most of the time.
Yep, me too. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I kinda like my life. Sure, I'd be happy if there was a man here but I'm not going to jump over hoops to make that happen. I think we both know we could, and many women do, can't do the "life without a man thing". Haha, my dad tried to tell me "a woman needs a man". Sure, but I think less than a man needs a woman! I would be happy (very happy!) to have a man, but I've known many women who will take any man and have come up considerably short in the deal. I am holding out for a good man. I think there are plenty but I also want one that has similar interests. That narrows it down considerably!
OK. On mango margarita for goodgirl!
Room. Not rooms! I guess my typing isn't the best right now...I'm somehow distracted tonight, can't really tell why...
You and I are close to the same age, I think. I'm 55, the double nickle.
Nothing breaks my heart like thinking of the sacrifices soldiers make for their country.
How are you?
Oh, yes...<,p>When you pass out you don't get into any trouble so it must be a good thing...right?
That's how you know you've been drinking, right?
When you don't remember any of it!
I shall have to tell you the story of when my brother tied me to a tree....we were hunting...his only excuse. I was about 30' up on a platform no bigger than my butt. Eventually I untied myself and escaped.
What are you talking about? Me, drink...???
Hang on while I grab another beer...
Did he survive after you escaped?
I got it for her.
Hi everyone.
Recently, or when you were kids?
Hey, tulip.
(Did you see the toon tonight???????)
And I think you are my best friend!!
I think we both know we are possibly older than that! But thanks anyway, that was sweet.
Hey tuliptree
Hey, tulip.
I'm getting there! One ping at a time...
Hi beaureguard.
Excuse me. Where is my mango margarita? I did not get any flowers tonight. Have I been forgotten? she asks with a tear in her eye.
Hi RockinRight.
Post 358!!! I got it for you!
Very recently, a couple months ago. We were "deer hunting" or so he said.... Strapped me in some contraption and tied me to a tree for hours!! Eventually I was able to free myself and climb down, then we met up and sprinkled doe pee in several spots before he took me back to the house.
Alas, the story must wait, my daughters fights me for the computer!
Hello Tulip :)
OK, hope to see you back soon!
Hey stranger, where have you been?
Not a lot. I was hoping you all could liven up my evening!
Well, Rockin and got sent to our room in record time tonight. That's been about the most exciting thing so far.
Not much, just hanging out on the singles thread!
Hey! You are doing a great job tonight!
We sure do keep this place interesting!!
You and me both!!! Loved that scene in the movie where he asked her to marry him. UMMMMMMMMMM!
I like the Women's Murder Club, but I have just started reading some of Alex Cross's series by Patterson, and they are good, too. Really violent, though.
Phew! I'm safe.
Everybody peter out already??
I'm off to bed. Visitor tomorrow and have to pretend I'm alert.
goodgirl, take care of Rockin for me!
The night is still young and the wine bottle isn't empty yet.
Long day?

I found these Ile de France "Brie Bites" yesterday while grocery shopping and decided they would be the one impulse buy I would allow. I'm a big fan of The Laughing Cow Babybel cheeses as well as any brand of pepper jack cheese sticks. It's what a I grab when I feel like I'm crashing in between meals. They're a quick way to get back on track without indulging in scones from the coffee shop across the street or the perpetually full candy dish that sits in your co-worker's cubicle taunting you every time a stressful email comes in.
I just tasted one of these delicate bites and I'm throughly in love. It was creamy, tangy, and seriously hit the spot. I'm a little worried though since I bought these in the suburbs yesterday and not my usual grocery store. I'm going to be very mad if I have to book a Zipcar now when I want to stock back up on Brie Bites. At only 70 calories though they might be worth the extra effort.
I also think that they would be a super cute appetizer to serve at parties. I love making baked brie for the holidays but you could definitely arrange these small rounds on a pretty crystal tray (either wrapped in pastry and hot or simply at room temperature) and allow your guests the gift of brie that they don't have to share with anyone else.

Game 14: A Step Back
The Blue Jackets thought they were on to something. With two straight games that matched their stated identity -- a tough loss to Edmonton, a stunning win over San Jose -- the Jackets believed their identity was taking shape. Even this morning, Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards expressed confidence that his club had finally embraced their mission statement.
And then the puck dropped tonight.
The Blue Jackets had trouble generating much in the way of shots or scoring chances tonight against the Los Angeles Kings, finally generating a late rush of momentum that fell short in a 2-1 loss before 18,118 in Staples Center.
"Go back and look at Monday's game. We won a lot of battles," Richards said. "We didn't win a lot of battles tonight. There was more urgency in their game than their was in ours, as far as winning those one-on-one battles in the offensive zone. We were spending more time in our defensive zone, using up our energy and didn't have enough that."
The Blue Jackets generated just 13 shots on goal, three more than the franchise record. It wasn't until the final 80 seconds -- with goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky pulled for an extra skater -- that the Jackets found life in the Kings' zone.
There were some close calls, some nervy moments by the Kings in the final 30 seconds. But by then it was too late for Columbus.
The Blue Jackets lost center Artem Anisimov early in the second period after he struck in the foot with a shot. He did not return, but there were at least two good signs after the game. Richards said tests revealed no broken bones in Anisimov's foot. Also, Anisimov was standing in street shoes - no ice, no boot, no crutches -- and said he OK. Still hurting, but OK.
Anisimov was missed last night. Along with Dubinsky, he's been one of their most consistent forwards this season.
"It's playing 60 minutes. It's playing the way we need to play," Richards said. "What troubles me is, we talked about it and showed video of it and then we come out and we can't get to that point. We had segments of the game where we were doing it, but (not) the full commitment to it for 60 minutes."
The Kings got goals from Kyle Clifford late in the second and Mike Richards early in the third, while goaltender Jonathan Bernier had 12 saves.
"We talked about it all last game, how well we played against San Jose, because we all play together and and we all played 60 minutes," Foligno said. "Well, tonight we maybe played 40."
Yes, maybe 40. With eight minutes left in the second period -- so 32 minutes of game elapsed -- the Blue Jackets have five shots on Bernier.
"For whatever reason we didn't have the same legs we did the other night," center Brandon Dubinsky said. "I don't know why. The good news is we play tomorrow (in Phoenix).
"(The Kings) were great tonight, but we didn't have enough push back. We certainly didn't help ourselves. We all made turnovers that made us spend too much time in our defensive zone, and the shot totals reflect that."
The biggest turnover of the night occurred late in the second period.
Blue Jackets defenseman Nikita Nikitin bumbled the puck at the Kings' blueline, sending LA's Kyle Clifford off to the races. Clifford chipped the puck behind Nikitin and embarked on a 2-on-1 with Trevor Lewis to his right and only Jackets defenseman Fedor Tyutin defending.
Tyutin did well to take away a passing lane to Lewis -- that's a d-man's job when defending a 2-on-1 -- but Clifford ripped a shot past Bobrovsky's glove to put the Kings ahead 1-0 with 1:20 left in the second.
The Blue Jackets started the third period short-handed. At the end of the second, Jackets winger Jared Boll and Clifford started scrapping, and Boll took his gloves off. Thus, he started the third period in the box. The Kings had a 5-on-3 advantage on only 49 seconds into the third when Tyutin bear-hugged LA's Anze Kopitar to slow him down from a clean look at Bobrovsky.
The Kings lead grew to 2-0 on a fluky goal only 45 seconds into the 5-on-3. On a rush, Mike Richards was trying to feather a pass across to former Jacket Jeff Carter, but Nikitin fell to his belly to stop the pass and got a skate on it. One problem: the puck caromed off his skate, hit Bobrovsky in the shoulder and fell between his arm and torso, slowly sliding across the line.
At that point, the Blue Jackets appeared in bad, bad shape. They were generating next-to-nothing, and now they needed two goals.
Foligno, who missed on a breakaway earlier in the game, gave them a bit of life with 2:25 to play. Jack Johnson, playing his first game back Staples Center since he was traded to Columbus last season, feathered a pass through two Kings defenders to Foligno in front, allowing him a back-hander into the net.
The Blue Jackets pulled Bobrovsky with 1:18 to play for an extra skater (R.J. Umberger), but the puck only flirted with the net. Johnson sent a pinball wizard in from the blue line that just missed with 24 seconds to play.
"I thought we had plenty of chances to tie it up," Johnson said. "I had full confidence we were going to tie it up. We had them on their heels at the end."
Side dishes:
-- Everybody welcome young Ms. Wisniewski to our world. Nicole Wisniewski, after 40 hours of labor, gave birth at 12:40 a.m. on Feb. 16. The little one is 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and is 20 inches long. She's eligible for the 2031 NHL entry draft.
-- Here's Richards on Anisimov: "He took a puck to the foot. I was told it's a bruise. I was told there's nothing broken, so that's good news."
-- Here's Portzline, in italics, interviewing Anisimov after the game: Still hurting Artem? "Yes." Think you can play tomorrow in Phoenix? "We'll see." I expected you to have ice on your foot, no? "Russian tough."
-- The Staples Center crowd offered no reaction when Johnson touched the puck. Judging by his comments on Thursday, that's just the way he wants it.
-- At times tonight the puck was bouncing like a raquetball. How was the ice? "It was terrible," Foligno said. "It was really bad, actually. A lot of guys were having issues with their skates. Their guy took a nose dive at the end. That's no excuse, it was bad for both teams. But yeah, it's not good here."
-- Foligno on how he muffed his early-game breakaway, which was started by a 150-foot Bobrovsky pass to Vinny Prospal and then a feed to Foligno. "Sometimes you have so much time you think too much," Foligno said. "That's exactly what happened on that one. I was thinking 'Do I shoot it, or throw it back to Vinny?" By that time (Bernier) had come out to pokecheck it. I mishandled it. That's something I have to bear down and bury that. It could have made it a whole different game."
-- The 13 shots on goal for Columbus is its fewest since they had 13 shots in a 3-0 loss to New Jersey on March 20, 2011. The franchise low is 10 shots on goal in a 4-0 loss in Philadelphia on April 1, 2003. On that night, Flyers goaltender Roman Cechmanek said, "I stand there for 10 minutes and nobody was shooting.''
-- Blue Jackets radio play-by-play voice George Matthews will call his 1,000th game on Saturday in Phoenix. The Blue Jackets have played only 916 regular-season games -- Saturday's will be 917 -- but the Jackets are counting preseason games in Matthews' total. He'll be honored before the next home game. Bill Davidge, who served as radio analyst before switching to TV in 2009-10, will broadcast his 1,000th later this season.

I ordered this cube light for a party. I was planning on using it to decorate the food table, but it was quite a bit larger than I's imagined and everyone brought so much food. It didn't stay on the table for long, but that was ok because everyone had different ideas for how to use it. It even ended up in a tree and looked pretty good. I want to order a few more.

Women with viral STIs face dilemmas in negotiating condom use and would like direct safe sex advice from clinicians
- University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA
- Correspondence to: C Ann Gakumo, PhD, RN,
School of Nursing, Acute Health, Chronic Care & Foundations Dept., Birmingham, AL 35294-1210, USA; cagakumo{at}uab.edu
Commentary on: Cook C. 'Nice girls don't': women and the condom conundrum. J Clin Nurs 2012;21:535–43.
Implications for practice and research
Sexual health counselling should extend beyond basic educational information to address contextual factors women face in partner relationships.
Because nursing practice centres on the patient–clinician relationship, feminist post-structuralist designs are effective at addressing power dynamics faced by vulnerable populations, further fostering communication between women and clinicians and improving women's sexual health.
The study highlights experiences of high-risk women in communicating condom use with their partners and discussing with healthcare providers the impact of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on their intimate relationships. Clinicians' views on the effective sexual health communication with their female patients were also examined. The study focused on women diagnosed with genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) and …

Internet Failure
I was reading up on my favorite blogs on Valentine's Day and suddenly I lost my connection. I did all the usual; check cables, close and reconnect, reboot the computer. Nothing worked.
So I called Qwest and they decided it was the modem and said another one would be delivered on Tuesday. Tuesday? I would be without Internet for the rest of Sunday, Monday, and possibly most of Tuesday? Could I do that?
Okay. Breathe. I can handle this.
I didn't handle it very well. I tried doing visual journal pages (a couple of which you can see above.) I read. I complained. I patted my computer as I walked by feeling lost.
And I realized how much this has taken over my life. It seems so sad. I never thought I would be to this point. Oddly, what I missed the most was my Blog. I don't post as often as I'd like but when I couldn't post I felt so out of touch.
In the meantime, my daughter called to tell me my friend, Lydia, became a grandma (she saw it on Facebook.) Jessica is in Washington and Lydia and the grandson are in Florida. Now how sad is that?
Like it or not the Internet is taking over our lives... and it's up to us to make that a good thing by sharing our highs and lows, dreams, inspiration, victories and the wonders of every day life.
And to welcome new life and hope into the world.
Welcome Hayden. Congratulations Lydia and Family.

A similar thing happened to me last week. Our server was down and not only could I not get on my yahoo groups or my blog, I couldn't get any email for a couple of days! Yikes! How quickly we become used to all the interaction!!
Hey there Rita, my name is Brian and I'm a manager with Qwest. I ran across your blog post, and wanted to reach out and apologize your modem & internet went down this weekend. I also want to make sure everything is working properly now, so please let me know if it's not, and I'll be happy to help out. You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need help.ReplyDelete
And to comment on your post, it is funny how "Lost" and "out of touch" we become without internet. Leave's one wondering....what DID we do before internet & social media?? Life without Facebook....did that really exist?? :0)
Thanks Rita,
Talk To Qwest Team
Qwest Communications
This is great .. okay .. not as great as getting your new modem first thing Monday, but still a refreshing response! Brian even took time to read your post .. so you know it wasn't a robo response! By the way ...your pages are wonderful .. so dreamy!ReplyDelete
Your spreads are beautiful! So creamy and dreamy...ReplyDelete
You should have seen me when my whole laptop went, over a year ago. Hubby didn't want to replace it because he didn't really think I needed one. PANIC. Talk about being crabby. I did get one after about a month :-) LOL. I don't know what I would do without my Mac.
Just happened by your blog and I'm so glad I did - its a really beautiful place to visit. Look forward to following your lovely work.ReplyDelete

Accommodation summary
|Passeig de Gracia, 08008 Barcelona, 스페인
Like all our other apartments, it has heating and air conditioning, satellite TV, a safe-deposit box and Wi-Fi Internet connection.
The living space and large master bedroom have access to the private terrace. There is a sofa-bed in the living room that can be made up into a 160x190 bed. There is also a double bedroom. Both rooms have LCD TV-USB with a satellite connection.
The second bedroom is a double room which has been very thoughtfully decorated.
The kitchen is completely separate and is equipped with utensils, dishwasher, fridge, oven, washing machine, microwave, electric kettle, coffee maker, sandwich maker, toaster and blender. There is also a breakfast table.
The building has a concierge and security cameras.
The building occupies a site surrounded by the elegance of Paseo de Gracia, with its luxury properties and architectural monuments, and the unique charm of Vila de Gràcia, one of the city's districts with a lot of character, with its tiny pedestrian streets lined with craft shops and designer boutiques, entertainment venues with their own particular style, squares full of terraces where you can have a drink, and historic old markets.
The building was erected in 1901 and purchased by Juan Bertrand Salses (Molins de Rei, 1854 – Genoa, 1936), an industrialist who lived at Paseo de Gracia, 109 (now Deutsche Bank and the German Consulate). When he died, he left the property to his son, Juan Bertrand Coma (Badalona, 1890 – Lleida, 1978), becoming part of his textile company on 27 February 1963. The firm was subsequently absorbed into the family business.
The building has been owned by the same family since 1901 and used entirely for rented accommodation and such activities as photography and cinematography.
The ground floor was designed to be reconverted into a cinema in March 1980.
The building was completely renovated in 2003, retaining the whole of the original façade on account of its historic and artistic value.
In April 2004, four floors of the building started to be rented out as tourist accommodation.
From November 1st becomes effective the tax for stays in tourist establishments.
The fee will be of 0.69 Euros per person per night, applicable to persons over 16 years and a maximum of 7 nights per person.
Entry: 3 to 8 pm
Departure: Before 11 am.
Both entry hours and also times of departure should be flexible and negotiable provided there are no other bookings for the days prior and subsequent to such date.
The client should always give warning of their estimated time of arrival. If arriving between 9 pm and midnight, clients should pay a supplement of 20 euros. Arrivals after midnight should pay a surcharge of 6 euros for each hour of delay.
At least 1 day's notice is required of the expected arrival time; otherwise, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to enter on time.
Smoking is not allowed.
A deposit of €300, which should be paid when the keys to the apartment are handed over, is a prerequisite for occupying the apartment. Where such amount is not received, Apartamentos Paseo de Gracia 115 shall be entitled to refuse entry to such clients, without the latter being in any way entitled to demand the return of such deposit.
The deposit shall be returned to the client once it has been proven that the apartment and everything inside is in the same state as it was when handed over to the client. All apartments should have an inventory, which should be carefully inspected when the client leaves.
Our main goal is to ensure that our client has a good stay in Barcelona.
The apartments are equipped with smoke detectors. Please do not smoke inside the building - if you need to do so, smoke out on the terrace. Please do not throw cigarette ends down into the street or courtyards.
Please respect the neighbours and other guests. They might not be in Barcelona for a holiday. Keep the noise down on the stairs as well as inside the apartments. Parties are strictly forbidden.
Quiet hours:
Monday – Friday: 10 pm to 9 am
Saturday – Sunday: Midnight to 10 am
Bicycles are not allowed to be taken up to the apartments or left in communal areas.
Please turn off the air conditioning, lights and electrical appliances when you leave the apartment, and do not use the air conditioning with the windows open. Our aim is to minimise the impact on the environment.
Pets are not allowed.
Although it is a safe neighbourhood, we recommend you lock the front door and only take what you need with you for the day. A safe-deposit box is available for your use inside the apartment.
Clients are expected to leave the apartment in reasonable condition, particularly the bathroom and kitchen. Do not leave any rubbish in the apartment. It should be left in the skips right outside the building.
Please take care of the keys.

by John MacArthur
Your conscience is like the nerve endings in your fingertips. Its sensitivity to external stimuli can be damaged by the buildup of callouses or even wounded so badly that it loses feeling altogether. Paul wrote repeatedly about the grave dangers of a calloused conscience (1 Corinthians 8:10), a wounded conscience (1 Corinthians 8:12), and a seared conscience (1 Timothy 4:2).
Psychopaths, serial killers, pathological liars, and other people who seem to lack any moral sense are extreme examples of people who have ruined or desensitized their consciences. But can such people really sin without remorse or scruples? If so, it's only because they have ravaged their own consciences through immorality and lawlessness. They certainly weren't born devoid of any conscience. The conscience is an inextricable part of the human soul. Though it may be hardened, cauterized, or numbed into apparent dormancy, the conscience continues to store up evidence that will one day be used as testimony to condemn the guilty soul.
Richard Sibbes pictured the conscience as a court in the council of the human heart. In Sibbes's imagery, the conscience itself assumes every role in the courtroom drama. It's a register to record what we have done in exact detail (Jeremiah 17:1). It's the accuser that lodges a complaint against us when we are guilty, and a defender to side with us in our innocence (Romans 2:15). It acts as a witness, giving testimony for or against us (2 Corinthians 1:12). It's the judge, condemning or vindicating us (1 John 3:20-21). And it is the executioner, smiting us with grief when our guilt is discovered (1 Samuel 24:5). Sibbes compared the chastisement of a violated conscience to "a flash of hell."1Richard Sibbes, Commentary on 2 Corinthians Chapter 1, in Alexander B. Grosart, ed., Works of Richard Sibbes, 7 vols. (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1981 reprint), 3:210-211.
The conscience is privy to all our secret thoughts and motives. It is therefore a more accurate and more formidable witness in the soul's courtroom than any external observer. Those who gloss over an accusing conscience in favor of a human counselor's reassurances are playing a deadly game. Ill thoughts and motives may escape the eye of a human counselor, but they cannot escape the eye of conscience. Nor will they escape the eye of an all-knowing God. When such people are summoned to final judgment, their own conscience will be fully aware of every violation and will step forward as a witness against them.
Rampant, unchecked sin can temporarily numb and quiet the witness of your guilt. But only true, biblical justification can permanently quiet the condemnation of your conscience.
Christ's atonement fully satisfied the demands of God's righteousness, so forgiveness and mercy are guaranteed to those who receive Christ in humble, repentant faith. We accept the responsibility for our sin and believe that in the death of Christ our sin is forgiven.
But we continue to confess our sin so that the Lord can cleanse our conscience and give us joy. That is how "the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse[s] your conscience from dead works to serve the living God" (Hebrews 9:14). In other words, our faith communicates to our conscience that we are pardoned through the precious blood of Christ.
A sound conscience therefore goes hand in hand with assurance of salvation (Hebrews 10:22). The steadfast believer must maintain the proper focus of faith in order to have a conscience that is perpetually being cleansed from guilt: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
What a gift it is to be cleansed from a defiled conscience! In the same way that a grieved conscience is a flash of hell, so a pure conscience is a foretaste of glory.
It's the Christian's high and holy duty to guard the purity of his regenerated conscience. Don't let unchecked sin silence, stifle, or desensitize your conscience. Keep it soft and effective through faithful confession and careful self-examination.
(Adapted from The Vanishing Conscience.)

Having a calloused and hardened conscience is scary to experience. I have experienced it first-hand by letting my sins go unchecked, silencing it with entertainment and things of this world and allowing my sin to build up one by one. But I have to say it's the grace of God that has opened my eyes to the sins that I have committed and showed me the horror of an unfeeling conscience. Aside from an unfeeling conscience that doesn't see sin for what it truly is, even if it's not unfeeling and you are convicted of sin the conscience is defiled. There are times in which having a defiled conscience has taken away a good night's rest and has bothered me from time to time throughout the day.
I said this many times before, if I had to choose between riches and wealth versus having little money but having a cleansed conscience I would choose the latter. You've heard the saying that money can't buy happiness . . . . well all the money in the world can't give you a clean conscience.

Thanks so much for this amazing writing on the conscience. Its really very simply explained and I especially loved the illustration by Richard Sibbes where he portrays 'the conscience as a court in the council of the human heart', its a power packed example to highlight the need for a pure conscience... I will discuss this with the group of young people (in the age group 17 to 20) that meet up in my house for the weekly prayer meeting as this will be an encouragement and a learning for them... thanks John your resources have been a source of inspiration and learning for me as a individual in my spiritual walk, and to my students who come for the weekly prayer meeting... may God continue to bless you and your ministry...

Great Blog.
The consciense is the alarm of the soul, like pain is for the body.
This great blog reminded me of the last 20 minutes of the ''hacking Agag to pieces'' sermon ( search; agag and you will find the sermon).
God used that sermon to open my eyes and pull me out a downward spiral of sin.
I wish Gods blessings on the GTY ministry.

... Stirring the hooch back in will not help your starter ....
Hi, Chau. On what do you base this?I rotate between 5 different starters, so I encounter plenty of hooch. I used to always pour it off. Now I always stir it back in. I think my starters are more flavorful and predictable now, but I've never done side-by-side tests. Curious as to why you say this. Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years!
"Stirring the hooch back in will not help your starter or your dough"But at a minimum, wouldn't at least maintain the hydration level?
Thanks, Chau. Your position is based on the assumption that the hooch is acidic - maybe very acidic. I'll check the pH of the hooch next time I take one of the cultures out. The well water I use in my dough is alkaline, so it may be neutralizing the hooch. But I use well water only in the dough. Bottled water is used for feeding. My typical pizza dough is 4%-5% of total dough mass.The starter that is currently in rotation is fed ~3-4 times per week - never any hooch. When I bring an older one back into the rotation, it has been dormant for 3-4 months, maybe more, so I feed it for ~2 days to get it super-active. Never checked to see if that time would be less if I poured off the hooch.Bottom line for me is that the activation/feeding/fermenting regimen I have developed produces a mild, complex dough - never sour.
Thanks Chau, Informative reply. Next time I'm in the position I'll check the pH as well. By the same token: sometimes I'm using the starter as a leavening agent and sometimes just to induce flavor.
Bill, I would be very curious in the pH levels of the hooch as well as I have not tested it yet myself. But let us also keep in mind that at some point, when a starter becomes overly mature/acidic, yeast activity slows way down and so does acid production. So I wouldn't be surprise if the pH of the hooch isn't any lower than the pH of the starter when it first collapses. I truely don't think that starters become more acidic indefinitely, but rather it should peak out at some point.
Wow great info Craig. Good to know it's not the acid levels affecting yeast growth. It makes sense that food supply would dictate yeast growth before acid levels. Craig, do you think the pH of the sludge would be similar if not the same as the hooch floating over it?Chau
I don't know, but I guess it would be similar. I bet the pH goes up some after a feeding though.CL
Sorry for the mega bump - Just got my starter first feed just now. With regards to the hooch. Any updates on the general consensus? Instructions say to stir it back in, some people say to lob it. Thoughts?
Stir it back in a few times, note the flavor. Then pour it out a few times and note the flavor. Then you'll have your answer There's enough people stirring it back in to know that you're not going to destroy the culture, might as well experiment doing both and get it to your liking.
In all seriousness, here's my thoughts. You have to think about what the hooch represents. It's basically the "waste" products of the organisms (byproducts of fermentation). So in there is a ton of flavor and essence of what you're growing. Remember, it's the products of fermentation and NOT the organisms themselves that gives your crust that flavor. When the organism have depleted their food source, (Sugars, etc.) they will go into what's called lag phase growth. For some yeasts this involves a transformation of the cells where they enter into a low metabolic state, cell walls thicken, etc., so that they can survive longer. You will probably see "hooch" before the cells do this, so seeing the hooch isn't necessarily a sign of lag phase growth, but it's a good indicator the cells are headed that way. The only downside I see of mixing the hooch back into the starter is that it probably alters the pH and doesn't really promote the cells to "grow" again into log phase. Log phase is where the cell numbers will double every hour or so, the peak of yeast cell division so to speak. So by mixing in the hooch it will theoretically take more replenish cycles to get your starter really active again. Probably makes them more "sluggish" until you have gone through two or more rounds of replenishing. By doing the replenishing procedure, you are adjusting the pH back to a normal environment for the yeast and diluting out any bad compounds in the hooch. This effect depends on your replenishment schedule, whether it's 1:1 or 2:1, etc. This may not necessarily be true for all starters, it really depends on the cells ability to switch from lag to log phase. Some yeasts do it easily, some not so fast. The other effect pH has on the environment is the ratio of other organisms in the culture, for example lactobacillus. I don't recall the actual numbers, but I think a low pH (acidic) environment favors lactobacilus growth. So changing the pH will affect the balance of these organisms in your culture as well.

On November 5, students at Cogswell were marching to the beat of a new drum – one they were testing for the Samsung Electronics Mobil Communications Lab. Caxixi (pronounced ca shi shi) – a new application written for Samsung Windows Mobile phones such as the Onmia – took center stage as Cogswell Digital Audio Technology students put the program through its paces.
Sumi Lim, Senior Marketing Manager and Martin Tannefors, Director Samsung Mobile Innovator, brought phones loaded with Caxixi and a film crew to campus then let the students explore the possibilities. Michael Novak, Chair of Cogswell's Board of Trustees, put Samsung in touch with Cogswell. Thanks to Cogswell's proximity to Samsung's location in North San Jose and the College's fully equipped audio labs, it was a perfect match.
Shaking the phone using various arm motions releases the pleasing, pebble against drum-head sound. The application can be used as a solo instrument or – in the Studio mode – lets you to arrange backing tracks, record arrangements, mix them together into your own songs and then send them to others. Users can even export them as WAV files to create personalized ringtones for their phones.
Our crew had a great time rocking to their own beat. Watch the video on YouTube!

Quest Looks At Creating Marine Protection Areas
Contributing Monkie G Monkie
Published on August 23, 2009
Filed Under G/Videos, Nature / Non Human Stories Tags Marine Protection, National Parks
I have lived in Venice California for over 10 years now and I have to tell you the water off the coast is just plain dirty. With all the trash, oil and other garbage running out of the storm drains into our ocean, it can't handle the overload. It makes me wonder what it is like to have to live in those waters. Well, I guess the State is finally waking up and has started working on new programs to protect areas of the ocean completely. Protection from pollution and fishing.
Quest: The waters off the coast of California are some of the richest in the world. But declines in fish species have led state leaders to begin creating large protected areas, or "no fishing zones," similar to wilderness areas on land. Although controversial with some fishing groups, the idea is to protect entire ecosystems instead of single species. The hope is that a statewide network may help bring back fish, birds and marine mammals that are currently on the brink.
Through the eyes of these scientists, we witness the undersea life in bloom. They clearly have one of the best offices to go to work to each day.

Remember making these when you were a kid? Stella and I decided to make some tater stamps one afternoon. We used a couple of baking potatoes but I'm sure the red and white ones work just fine.
I started to carve freehand and apparently I'm terrible at that. Instead, we created our shapes by pressing marzipan cutters about 1/2″ into the spud.
I found it best to carve out the shapes by first slicing a bunch of lines at 45 degree angles. Otherwise it's easy to cut into your little shape.
Then slice in again from the side and the bits pop right off. Be so careful not to slice yourself! If you're going to get an injury you should at least have a cool story (ie. "a shark snatched my craft scissors right out of my hands yesterday").
We mixed tempera paint and brushed it on the shapes. The stamps come out a little funky and imperfect, which I like.
Stella had fun with the potato stamps until they turned brown. I rubbed lemon juice on them and that seemed to hold for a couple of hours.
This kid-friendly project costs almost nothing. And you probably don't even have to make a trip to Hobby Lobby.

PREP FOOTBALL: Cardinals hold back MHS
MARSHALL – It could've been a different result for the Marshall Tigers, one more in line with recent results under head football coach Terry Bahlmann. Unfortunately turnovers and penalties popped up at the worst possible times, turning three potential touchdowns into no points in a 15-2 loss to Fairmont on Friday at the Schwan Regional Event Center.
"It started on the opening kickoff, when we got called for the hold," Bahlmann said. "That's a game-changer. We're up six or seven zip. Instead we start out at our own 10. We drive it down then fumble at the 5. We come back and fumble at about the 13, so there's three touchdowns there. If we take care of those we're in the ball game."
Marshall sophomore Drew Hmielewski nearly took the aforementioned opening kickoff to the house, but the touchdown was negated by a holding call. The Tigers then marched down the field when Hmielewski hauled in a third-down pass from quarterback Brad Bahlmann inside the Fairmont 10-yard line, but was stripped off the ball trying to extend the play. Fairmont recovered.
The game didn't start out well for the Cardinals either, who sent their second offensive snap over the head of quarterback Spencer Chirpich and through the back of the end zone for a safety.
Marshall grabbed a 2-0 lead as a result, but was unable to build off on its lead after a short free kick by Fairmont. The ensuing Tiger drive stalled out, resulting in a turnover on downs in Cardinal territory.
Nick Saugstad's interception of Chirpich gave the Tigers the ball in prime scoring position again, but, again, the Tigers were unable to capitalize after starting out at the Fairmont 31.
Fairmont got the ball back three plays later when Sam Marshall lost a fumble.
The Tigers would go on to turn the ball over two more times in the game, one on an interception from Brad Bahlmann and another on a muffed kickoff in the waning moments of the game.
On the other hand, the Cardinals built momentum off of the missed chances for Marshall, including three more turnovers on downs in the red zone.
After being shut out for three quarters, the Cardinals broke through with a nine-yard touchdown pass from Chirpich to Cole Emler with 10 minutes, 2 seconds to play. The Cardinals went for two, with Chirpich connecting with Luke Becker to make the score 8-2.
"The defense played well in the first half, but we didn't play very well in the second half. We stopped their run, but our secondary, they ran the same play on us four times in a row," Bahlmann said. "You'd think after two or three we would have adjusted."
After a pair of punts by Marshall, Fairmont took possession with 5:40 remaining in the game and the ball on the Marshall 39.
Four minutes later Chirpich found Becker again, this time wide open in the back corner of the end zone for a five yard touchdown. Joe Weber tacked on the extra point to go up 15-2.
"It was 2-0 for a long time, a battle of field position. It was a tough game and they probably showed a little more heart than we did," Bahlmann said.
Fairmont squibbed the ensuing kickoff, which was muffed by the Tigers and recovered by the opposition. The Cardinals knelt out the rest of the clock.
The Tigers were unable to find any rhythm in their running game on the night, as Fairmont met the Marshall rushers in the backfield repeatedly.
Tigers fullback Jack Bock led Marshall with 38 yards on 10 carries, while Sam Marshall added 31 yards on 13 touches.
Brad Bahlmann completed 7 of his 12 pass attempts for 127 yards. Hmielewksi caught four of those for 99 yards. Bahlmann was also sacked on three occasions, as Fairmont linebackers found penetration on numerous blitzes.
Marshall, meanwhile, was unable to bring down Chirpich in the backfield, despite consistent pressure. The Cardinals quarterback finished his night 17-for-36 for 139 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Becker was his favorite target on the night, bringing in six catches for 40 yards and a score.
Defensive back Max Roelsema led Marshall with seven tackles, while Hmielewski, Jason Polzin and Sam Marshall each had 5 1/2 stops.
The Tigers averaged nearly 43 points per game in 2012, but have put up 15 total points through two games so far in 2013. The consecutive losses for Marshall to start the season marks the first time the Tigers have lost consecutive games in the same season since 2009. Fairmont's win over Marshall was its first since 2005 and snapped a four game losing streak to the Tigers.
Up next for Marshall (0-2 overall) is a Southwest Conference clash with the Luverne Cardinals at the Schwan Regional Event Center on Sept. 13.

We really depend on groundwater, because we can't depend on the rainfall."not fishermen are now going into fishing.
We knew that, for them, it was a matter of energy versus the life of people."the Turkana Basin Institute, he came up to me one time and gave me a document that he had just received. The document indicated there was a dam being constructed, and a group of scientists and researchers had looked at what was said to be an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that had just been released — and those scientists and researchers were questioning the facts [about the report].
You cannot say 'development' is telling people that your way of life doesn't work anymore."we are tired of blackouts." Which was reasonable. And we recognize the efforts of both the Kenyan and Ethiopian governments to source for energy development. But for us, it has always been: At what expense? And what alternatives do we have?
There's absolutely no way that dam can go on and the people in Turkana will survive."with a lot of media coverage and a lot of open discussions and with a lot of information on the website and using social media, there is a lot more interest. And especially after a couple of raids in the region, where we lost about 124 people, Turkana especially... it brought a clear picture of conflict over resources and conflict over water.

Hi Tracy! I purchased it from Crate and Barrel last holiday season.Delete

Very lovely! I had a question: How long will the fresh evergreens last? - Could you wrap a gift say, two weeks in advance or is is it better to wait until a few days before you give the gift if using fresh evergreens?ReplyDelete
