Expiration Date:?Apr 2018Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

These work awesome for eliminating garlic or onion breath. I have used them for years. They are hard to find in the store and I was thrilled to see them at iherb, and at a better price than I got at the grocery store.

I enjoy eating a lot of garlic and onions - so I am always on the look out for natural products that help to maintain fresh or pleasant scented breath. I 'experimented' using this following the directions at different times with different foods but mainly with garlic and onions - it worked pretty okay but only lasted about 15 minutes. Fortunately, for me I also ordered the WOW WOW Drops with this - and this was very very effective. I will not be ordering Mint Asure again as it did not work for me.

Good but not enough?
Posted by 4991798871384386971 on Mar 23, 2016
On the upside: the taste is good, nice and minty, and it's sweetened with xylitol which is good for your teeth. Downside: even three capsules isn't enough, doesn't freshen mouth fully. I don't know if what is inside the capsules does anything because I haven't had garlic or the likes. If yes, then this might be worth keeping around. A good emergency mouth refreshener, but I'll stick to xylitol gum for regular use.
swallow after mint is gone
Posted by 5206926606939835129 on Feb 25, 2016
just got these and I must not have read the instructions! first, you're supposed to suck 2-3 of them. then i guess you're supposed you're swallow it! that's good to know because i was keeping it in my mouth until the capsule popped. the parsley oil doesn't taste good at all to me! so better to have the oils release in my stomach than my mouth and it should still work i guess

On August 5, 2013, the Einstein community and local healthcare professionals gathered to celebrate the graduation ceremony for Einstein's 2013 Summer Undergraduate Mentorship Program (SUMP). SUMP, which is part of the College of Medicine's Hispanic Center, was established in 2002 with the goal of mentoring students from underrepresented or financially disadvantaged communities who aspired to become healthcare professionals.
The seven-week program offers college students an insider's view of various health professions to encourage their interest in careers in science or medicine. Throughout the program, the students attend lectures and workshops, while gaining clinical or research experience at the side of a mentor representing one of numerous healthcare professions, including researcher, doctor, physician's assistant or pharmacist.
To begin, Dr. Nora Esteban, program director of SUMP and co-director of the Hispanic Center, delivered opening remarks. She then introduced the 14 SUMP graduates, who presented their findings from research projects they had undertaken during the summer. Dr. Esteban was then joined by Dr. Alvin (Hal) Strelnick, director of the Hispanic Center, who spoke about the program's commitment to both encouraging college students to pursue careers in medicine and to fostering compassion and better understanding of patient issues.
Next, Dr. Allen Spiegel, the Marilyn and Stanley Katz Dean, congratulated the graduates and praised the efforts of the SUMP leadership and introduced the event's keynote speaker, Congressman Joseph Crowley.
Following his address, which focused on the need of the government to commit to creating jobs in science and medicine, Congressman Crowley entertained questions from the audience. The lively exchange, in which he responded to questions about the Affordable Care Act and other issues pertaining to healthcare and educational reforms, took on the feel of a "town hall meeting."
At the conclusion of the event, Dr. Nellie Correa, an Einstein alumnus and Einstein faculty member, was honored with the Helen Rodriguez-Trias Award, which recognizes the efforts of individuals who — like its namesake — champion women's and children's health needs.
The success of SUMP for its 2013 participants was summed up by of one of its graduates (and budding Olympian) Natalia Rodriguez, who noted, "Not only has the program instilled in me the confidence to build a career in medicine, but also opened my eyes towards goals that I could achieve outside academics. I am no longer skeptical about taking a year off for training for the Olympics, and I will always be thankful for that."

Intervention Strategies by Susan Stokes
to stay informed of xMinds events, opportunities for advocacy, relevant news articles, and regional programs, lectures, and workshops to help parents and educators improve the educational experiences of students on the autism spectrum.
"... the most important considerations in devising educational programs for children with autistic spectrum disorders have to do with recognition of the autism spectrum as a whole, with the concomitant implications for social, communicative, and behavioral development and learning, and with the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the individual child across areas of development."
—Educating Children with Autism

General Suggestions
The purpose of any intervention is to make it possible for a person to participate in the typical activities and experiences of the world. In other words,
the purpose of any intervention is to improve the quality of life of the student with autism.
It can be difficult to understand how a student who can participate in an advanced calculus class can't act appropriately during a fire drill. This contradiction is the nature of autism and Asperger's Syndrome. These students are slow to learn coping strategies and they must be taught directly, in increments they can handle, and the skills must be practiced. While it may appear to be more time consuming at first, direct teaching and practice will allow the student to apply the skills independently in the future.
A skill will need to be taught more than once
. In fact, it will need to be taught as often as necessary until it has been mastered. Additionally, skills need to be broken into parts small enough for the student to master. How small will depend on the individual student.
Behavior is communication.
Something triggers a student's inappropriate behavior, and the most effective intervention is to learn what those triggers are and to be proactive in addressing them. A proactive intervention takes place when the student is calm and can participate in learning. A reactive one takes place when the student's anxiety has escalated or he has lost control, and the purpose is simply to calm him or stop him from hurting himself or others. Real learning takes place during proactive intervention strategies.
Make a plan but remain flexible.
It will be far easier for an adult to read and adapt to a situation than it will be for the student with autism. Show your students the flexbile reasoning and problem solving skills you want them to learn!
Coach self awareness.
Students with autism often can't articulate how they feel because they don't know exactly how they feel. Many can recognize the basic emotions of happy, sad, and mad, but discerning and expressing more subtle emotions such as disappointment, humiliation, and contentment are difficult. What they do know is that they feel
. Help them develop self awareness by learning the connections between the primary and secondary emotions. ("You seem mad. Perhaps you are disappointed that Sam wants to play with John instead of you.")
Remember empathy and a sense of humor.
Students with autism aren't trying to make your day difficult, they're just trying to get through the day.
They are climbing mountains.
Help them along. Lighten their load. Laugh. Breathe.
It's not about you.
Really. When a student is mad and tears up her worksheet because she would rather draw, she isn't being defiant because it feels good to her or because she knows it will push you over the edge. She may be expressing her frustration over her inability to be in control of her world. What else might she be telling you? That she already understands the work and doesn't see the point of doing the worksheet? That she doesn't fully understand how to do the work or what the directions are asking? That she's too tired to write? That she needs a break? Explore and problem solve with her. A mere consequence for her inappropriate behavior won't teach her the skills she needs to learn.
It's not easy.
For them or for you. Understanding how autism is expressed by a particular student requires getting to know him, which requires establishing a relationship with the student that will allow him to trust you. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to shape this child's future--a future that has significant potential. We believe you will find the effort well worth making.
Improving the educational experiences and outcomes of students on the autism spectrum in grades K-12.

You can ignore the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) claims on the label because this eye cream does not contain any AHAs! It's just a good, fairly basic, fragrance-free eye cream for normal to dry skin. It contains some reliable, vitamin-based antioxidants and mica for a shiny, "brightened" finish. If you're considering this please know that you don't need an eye cream! There is no research proving that the skin around the eye area needs something different from skin elsewhere on the face. No one in the world has ever explained exactly what ingredients the eye area needs that the face doesn't when it comes to dry skin or wrinkles. And there are no ingredients that have ever been shown to significantly improve dark circles or reduce puffy eyes. Bottom line: If a "face" product is well formulated for dry skin and fighting wrinkles, you can use it anywhere on the face and beyond. That includes the eye area, neck, jaw, or chest. What you get when you buy an eye cream is a small amount of product (often half the size of a face product) that is twice as expensive.
A multi-vitamin treatment with Alpha-Hydroxy Acid. Moisturizes and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Neutrogena At-A-Glance:
Strengths: Inexpensive; some superior water-soluble cleansers; good topical scrubs; effective AHA and BHA products; several retinol options, all in stable packaging; vast selection of sunscreens, most of which offer excellent UVA protection; good variety of self-tanning products; several fragrance-free options; most Healthy Skin products are state-of-the-art; almost all of the foundations with sunscreen provide sufficient UVA protection; the Moistureshine Gloss.
Weaknesses: An overabundance of overlapping anti-aging products that is perennially confusing for consumers; Bar soap; most of the toners are irritating or boring; a handful of bland moisturizers and eye creams; some sunscreens lack sufficient UVA protection or contain too much alcohol or problematic preservatives; most of the Deep Clean products are terrible; no effective skin-lightening products; jar packaging; mostly disappointing concealers and eyeshadows; most of the lip balms with sunscreen provide inadequate UVA protection; mostly poor mascaras.
Neutrogena is one of few brands that have an equally large presence in both the U.S. and in Canada. Unfortunately, many of the formulas and product names that Neutrogena uses are not interchangeable between the two countries, a fact that has been brought to our attention by our astute Canadian readers (who make up about 10% of our Beautypedia readership). In an effort to clear up a lot of the confusion surrounding Neutrogena Canada products, The Cosmetics Cop Team has done research in Canadian drugstores to determine the ingredients and product names as they appear on Neutrogena's Canadian packaging.
Please note that if a product does not appear on this list, it means that, to the best of our knowledge, that product has the same name and formula in the U.S. as it does in Canada. You'll find the reviews for such products under the main Neutrogena brand. That overlap means Canadian readers may find they have to switch between both Neutrogena and Neutrogena Canada to locate the product review they're seeking, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
In some cases the differences between the U.S. and Canadian version of a Neutrogena product is only an ingredient or two, and in other cases the entire formula is different. Despite The Cosmetics Cop Team best efforts, there are no doubt products that have been overlooked on this list. As much as we would like it to be comprehensive, we are restricted by what is on store shelves at the time we conduct our research. If you have any additional information about Neutrogena Canada products, we encourage you to contact us using the link at the bottom of the product's review page.

U.S. / Yangon, Myanmar
Travel to Myanmar aboard independent flights to Yangon (Rangoon), crossing the International Date Line en route. Upon arrival, transfer to the Chatrium Hotel, where you enjoy a welcome drink and dinner. (Meals Aloft, D)
After a morning at leisure, start your tour of the city with lunch at a local restaurant. Spend the afternoon strolling through the Bogyoke Market and city center, where most of the town's remaining colonial-era architecture is located. With over 2000 shops selling a variety of authentic handicrafts, Bogyoke Market is your first opportunity during our Myanmar tour to laugh and haggle alongside local shoppers. Our day ends with a sunset stop at the 2,500-year-old Shwedagon Pagoda, said to enshrine strands of Buddha's hair and other holy relics. Sunset is a particularly rewarding time to visit this gilded temple, which is guarded by two giant chinthe, legendary half- lion, half-dragon figures. Dinner tonight is on your own to savor the distinct flavors of Myanmar. Spend tonight that the Chatrium Hotel. (B,L)
Yangon / Hlawga National Park / Kalaw
Enjoy a picnic breakfast en route to Hlawga National Park. As we hike through the forest of this zoological reserve, watch for pale-capped pigeon, racket-tailed treepie, striped-throated bulbul — found in Southern Myanmar, sunbird, orioles, flowerpeckers, bee-eaters, some babblers and others. Barking deer, hog deer and wild boar are the most common mammal species, while short-tailed macaques abound. After lunch at one of Yangon's local restaurants, fly to Heho and drive to Amara Mountain Resort, near Kalaw, our home for two nights. (B,L,D)
Spend a morning with our hand-selected birding guides, searching for giant nuthatch, spectacled barwing, rusty-cheeked Scimitar-babbler, dark-backed sibia, green magpie, black-breasted thrush, white-browed laughing-thrush, white-capped redstart, brown-breasted bulbul, silver-breasted broadbill, the scarce Burmese yuhina, pin-tailed pigeon, gray-capped pygmy woodpecker and Eurasian jay. This afternoon, join an elephant researcher for an interactive look at Myanmar's elephant conservation efforts at the new Green Hill Valley Elephant Camp. Enjoy lunch at the camp, and spend our afternoon interacting with these rescued elephants with opportunities to ride, feed and even bathe elephants. While here, you can also hike through this conservation area to observe butterflies, birds and wild orchids. This evening, return to Kalaw. (B,L,D)
Kalaw / Inle Lake
After another early-morning birding excursion, set out for Inle Lake. Along the way, we stop in a small, rural community to learn about the dying art of bamboo umbrella making from local craftsmen. Board boats to travel across the water to our accommodations at Villa Inle Resort, where we spend three nights. (B,L,D)
Inle Lake
Join our local naturalists for a full-day of birding in this rich habitat. Although only 13.5 miles long and seven miles wide, more than 254 species have been recorded at the lake and surrounding wetlands. During our boating excursions we watch for rare Jerdon's bushchat, white-tailed stonechat, collared myna, black-collared starling, rare sarus crane, glossy ibis, ferruginous pochard, spot-billed duck, garganey, pheasant-tailed jacana, black-winged stilt, sandpiper, sooty-headed bulbul, crimson sunbird, clamorous reed warbler, red avadavat and yellow-breasted bunting. Breeding or roosting colonies of egrets; Chinese pond, Indian pond and black-crowned night herons; vinous-breasted, black-collared, chestnut-tailed and Asian pied starlings; and collared, jungle, white-vented and common mynas are also found around the lake and surrounding marshes. (B,L,D)
Inle Lake
Today offers a rare immersion into the region's culture as we meet people from four different cultures — Shan, Inntha, Pa-O and Danu — during our full-day exploration of Inle Lake. As our boat makes its way through the floating villages, we stop to mingle with locals at one of the markets which hopscotch around the lake on a five-day cycle and view a floating garden. Chat with an Inntha fishermen as he waits for the day's catch, and witness the Inntha technique of leg rowing, where one leg is wrapped around the paddle to drive the blade through the water. Also learn about cottage industries supporting the local economy such as cigar making, silk weaving, noodle making and more. Warm local families invite us into their house for a glimpse at daily life. Our small group also explores an ancient teak wood monastery, home to Shan-style images of Buddha and thrones. (B,L,D)
Inle Lake / Mandalay / Sagaing
Fly to Mandalay, enjoying lunch at a local restaurant before heading to iconic Sagaing on the Irrawaddy River. Sagaing is a religious and monastic center, with numerous Buddhist monasteries. It briefly regained its position as a royal capital of Burma from 1760-1764. The British built the 16-span Innwa Bridge connecting Sagaing with Mandalay in 1934. While walking along Sagaing Hill, watch for birdlife such as white-throated babbler, endemic Burmese bushlark), pied avocet, green and blue-tailed bee-eaters, oriental darter and more. Tonight, enjoy dinner and a performance featuring traditional dance and music. Spend two nights at the Rupar Mandalar Resort. (B,L,D)
Spend an early morning in silence as we soak up the tradition and reverence of breakfast with the thousand monks at Amarapura Mahagandayone Monastery. After the watching their breakfast, we accompany the monks to morning prayers. Enjoy sunrise on the 250-year-old U Bein Bridge before returning to our hotel for time at leisure. Spend our afternoon immersed in the bustling city of Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city. Visit Shwe Nan Daw Kyaung and Kuthodaw Pagoda (the world's largest book). See Myanmar handicraft workshops such as Kalaga tapestries, silk weaving which is different from Inle Lake silk weaving, and gold leaf making. Visit a bustling market of this Myanmar last Royal capital which is also the 2nd largest city of the country. Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. Stroll along the backs of the Irrawaddy River bank and enjoy sunset. (B,L)
Mandalay / Irrawaddy Cruise / Bagan
Enjoy a full-day Irrawaddy River cruise aboard our private boat, exploring the cultures and scenery offered along the riverbank. Our small group plans to explore the small village of Yandabo. Accessible only by water, Yandabo is renowned for its terra cotta pottery made using mud from along the banks of the Irrawaddy. A hands-on demonstration allows us to examine this traditional craft at various stages of production. Yandabo is also known in Burmese history as the location where the Burmese king and British representatives signed the Treaty of Yandabo in 1855. Continue to Bagan, where we spend the next three nights at Bagan Thande Hotel. (B,L,D)
Spend a full-day birding along the Irrawaddy and ancient temples in a region that is particularly rewarding for wildlife enthusiasts. Sheltered from the southwest monsoon by high mountains, central Myanmar receives little rainfall and is a true semi-desert, characterized by cactus-like euphorbia, acacias and thorny scrub woodland. During our excursion we may observe river lapwing, great thick-knee, small pratincole, Indian sandlark and possibly even the increasingly rare black-bellied tern or Indian skimmer. Large numbers of ruddy shelduck winter along the river's margin along with other water birds. (B,L)
After breakfast, tour the archaeological zone of Bagan. Intermingled with the three types of temples – Gubyaukgyi, Ananda and Htilominlo – which represent different periods and styles of building, we may spot a variety of endemic bird species during our walking tour. Visit the massive Dhamayangyi temple before lunch at a local restaurant in Nandawun Garden on the river bank. Browse crafts and learn about traditional lacquer ware at a local workshop. A horse-drawn cart transports our group among the temples and local villages this afternoon. Visit Minanthu Village and Bagan dynasty's last temple Phaya Thonezu, the golden stupa of Shwezigon Pagoda. Enjoy a breathtaking sunset vista from a temple terrace before returning to our hotel. (B,L,D)
Bagan / Ngagyiinn Village / Yangon
Fly to Yangon, where we spend an enriching day in the small village of Ngagylinn. International Expeditions is working with the Parami Foundation to support educational efforts in the village. The Parami Foundation was organized to exclusively support education in disadvantaged mostly rural communities in the Delta Region and Upper Myanmar. Until recently, there was no electricity or school in this remote village of 300. Our group is welcomed into the community for a traditional lunch and green tea in the village monastery before being immersed in the daily lives of the local families. Children and teachers invite us into their school and library, while later, the adults educate us on farming and other small businesses that support the village. Return to Yangon, stopping en route at the Second World War Memorial Cemetery. After a festive farewell dinner, say good-bye to your fellow Myanmar tour guests and spend tonight at Chatrium Hotel. (B,L,D)
Yangon / Depart
After breakfast, transfer to the Yangon airport to board your independent flights home. (B, Meals Aloft)

Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid)
Clomiphene citrate, sold under the brand names Clomid and Serophene, is an anti-estrogen drug used to induce ovulation, correct irregular ovulation and luteal phase deficiency, and to increase egg production. It was one of the first fertility treatments available, and since its introduction in 1968 has been the first choice for ovulation induction with most women because of its relative safety, effectiveness, and low cost.
Clomid works by tricking the brain into thinking there is an estrogen deficiency in the bloodstream, which causes the pituitary gland to begin producing an increased amount of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in an effort to stimulate the ovaries back into working order. As estrogen levels rise, the pituitary gland then rapidly releases LH, or luteinizing hormone, which causes ovulation to occur - usually about five to eight days after the last Clomid pill is taken. On average, a woman's body produces two or three times as much estrogen in a single cycle on Clomid as normal.
Clomid has a 60 to 80 percent success rate for inducing ovulation and approximately 30 percent of women on Clomid will become pregnant. However, there is only a 20 to 25 percent chance of conception in each cycle during the first three to four treatment cycles, so patients should stay on Clomid for at least four to six cycles to determine its efficacy.
Your doctor will probably monitor you for signs of ovulation when you are taking Clomid using either ultrasound or a blood test. An ultrasound will allow your doctor to visually confirm that an ovarian follicle has ruptured and pinpoint when ovulation occurred. A blood test is used to detect the hormone progesterone during the luteal (post-ovulation) phase of your cycle, which would also confirm ovulation had occurred.
There are potential side effects associated with Clomid, and approximately 10 to 20 percent of patients will experience one or more, although they are generally mild and subside as soon as the medication is stopped. Symptoms include mood swings, hot flashes, blurred vision, nausea, bloating, poor development of the endometrium, ovulation pain, breast tenderness, and headache. About half of patients experience decreased or hostile cervical mucus production which can impede sperm from traveling through the cervix and uterus. There is also a slightly higher incidence of twins, accounting for 10 percent of births, but triplets occur in only 1 in 400 births.
As with most ovulation-inducing drugs, there is a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation, which causes the ovaries to become enlarged and cysts to erupt. Approximately 5 percent of women using Clomid develop ovarian cysts, which usually resolve within a few weeks without treatment; however, on an extremely rare occasion, the cysts may twist or cause internal bleeding, requiring surgery and removal of the affected ovary. There is no clinically significant increased risk of miscarriage or congenital birth defects associated with Clomid; however, women with PCOS may be at higher risk for miscarriage when using Clomid. PCOS and obesity may also decrease the response to Clomid.
The average cost for Clomid is $10 per pill or approximately $50 per month, depending on your dosage. It is generally prescribed in 50 mg tablets that are taken orally once a day for five days - usually days 5 through 9 of your cycle. If the lower dose does not induce ovulation, the dosage can be increased up to 200 mg daily; however, doses greater than 150 mg/day for five days are contrary to manufacturer recommendations and side effects tend to be more severe at higher doses. Most experts agree that continuing Clomid for more than six ovulatory cycles is not likely to increase the chances of success.
Women with preexisting liver disease should not take Clomid as it is processed through the liver. In addition, women with enlarged ovaries should not take Clomid because of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.
A study conducted several years ago suggested that Clomid may increase a woman's chance of getting cervical cancer; however, the data associated with that study have since been found to be flawed, and many physicians discredit the researchers' conclusions. In addition, some women have reported they were unable to purchase private health insurance after taking Clomid. We were unable to confirm or discredit this claim, so you should check with your insurance company to determine their policy on past or present Clomid usage.

Hi sound team,
I was at an events meetings recently and it was suggested that I may be useful on the sound team. I have experience setting up gigs of various sizes but all from at least 5 years ago so will be rusty! Is there a good time to pop in and be quickly shown around the gear, after which I could immediately start helping at events that require it?
Look forward to working with you,

"Our company's accomplishments working on the leading edge, and my usefulness, would be far less were it not for business aviation. "
Mark Cuban
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban claims he can type 50 words a minute on his BlackBerry. He uses e-mail for nearly all his business correspondence, saying it keeps him in constant contact with the people who need to reach him and is far more efficient than picking up the phone. So when Cuban suggested our interview with him be conducted entirely by e-mail, we e-mailed him back and said OK.
The 51-year-old's affinity for digital communication should come as no surprise when you consider his background. Cuban pocketed about $2 billion from the sale of Broadcast.com to Yahoo at the height of the dot-com boom. He's also in the Guinness Book of World Records for completing the largest e-commerce transaction ever, paying $40 million in late 1999 to buy a new Gulfstream V online without ever setting foot on the airplane.
Most people know Cuban as the brash and outspoken owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He has amassed more league fines than any owner in NBA history, earning him high praise from fans and brutal verbal floggings up and down the sports radio dial. A certain segment of the population may be more familiar with Cuban for his brief appearance as a contestant on the ABC reality series Dancing with the Stars. (In his younger days, he made money as a disco dancing instructor, bar owner and party promoter.)
Cuban became a millionaire at 31 by selling MicroSolutions, the computer systems integration company he founded after graduating from Indiana University. He's also the founder of HDNet, the first HDTV cable network, and the chairman of Landmark Theaters, the largest art house theater chain in the U.S.
The one thing anybody really needs to know about Cuban is that he loves to win-and, by extension, hates to lose. Whether he's playing in a pickup basketball game or is hunkered in a boardroom negotiating a multimillion-dollar deal, he approaches the situation the same way-as sport. And in sports, you play to win the game.
Cuban purchased the Dallas Mavericks in 2000 from Ross Perot Jr. and immediately turned the team from the NBA's doormat into a perennial conference championship contender, in part by lavishing money and perks on star players. The team's Boeing 757 includes a weight room, oversized seats and a facility for trainers to provide medical treatment. Each player's locker includes a personal entertainment system.
Perot Jr., who still owns a small stake in the Mavericks, sued Cuban in May, claiming he has run up $200 million in team debt. Cuban's typical, no-holds-barred response? "Perot's complaint is a joke, and in my opinion, so is he."
You're the most visible and combative owner in the NBA. It's a formula that has led to a lot of success with the Mavericks. What's been your strategy for turning the team around?
Having great players and doing my best to put them in a position to succeed has been the strategy from the beginning. All the big decisions about the team go through me. I attend every game, and usually I fly with the team. There's no reason to spend the extra money to fly on my airplane. Plus, it gives me a chance to talk to the players and the coaching staff.
I understand the team airplane is a pretty nice ride. Was buying a Boeing 757 for away-game travel part of your strategy for attracting top talent?
Absolutely. When you are on the road as much as an NBA team has to be, the ability to be comfortable, get rest and have enough room for basic treatment of physical problems gives us a competitive advantage. I came up with the strategic vision for the airplane, but not the details. I said I wanted room for players taller than seven feet, plus special setups for meetings, coaching resources and video and connectivity resources. Now, I can't say exactly how we outfitted our Boeing 757 to make it so special. That's a trade secret. We don't want other teams to find out. But it's nice!
Do you think the players appreciate the extras you do for them?
Yes. They know how much better it is playing for the Mavericks than for other teams. The players we have acquired from other teams tell me we do the best job in the league.
What led you to buy your Gulfstream V online without ever seeing it?
I did the research at the Gulfstream Web site and then sent an e-mail and asked to set up a demo flight for my pilot. He raved about it. So I sent another e-mail saying I wanted to buy it. I got the banking instructions, wired the money and that was it.
Any plans to upgrade your current airplane?
Yes. We are looking hard at upgrading.
What airplanes do you own aside from the GV?
I own the Boeing 757 for the Mavs and also a 767 we rent out for high-end charter.
What was your first exposure to flying on private jets and what do you remember about the experience?
My first time flying privately was when we did a road show for our IPO of Broadcast.com. I definitely had that "party like a rock star" look in my eyes. It was amazing to fly on a Gulfstream II back in 1998.
I think we went to 12 cities in seven days. The routine was wake up, go to a city, do a presentation, go to the airport. It was up and down the East Coast and then we traveled from Chicago to St. Louis to Kansas City and other cities. I'll never
forget the experience.
What made you decide to buy a Gulfstream?
I talked to several pilots and asked them what they would love to fly and what they thought was the best airplane. That got me to Gulfstream.
What has owning the Gulfstream meant to you, both professionally and personally?
Since I've owned the GV there are too many examples to count of how the airplane has helped me. Flying out after a late-night game to be at a meeting the next morning. Leaving a meeting to get home in time for my daughter's first daddy-daughter dance. It's part of my life that I can't be without.
It means I have more hours in my day to spend with friends and family. It means I can get more work done. It means I can travel comfortably with my family. It's a life- and game-changer.
Do you also make the GV and 757 available for charter when they're not being used by you or the team?
The GV, no. The 757, yes. We fly big groups who need high-end seating. It definitely helps defray the costs, which I appreciate.
What would you say to business leaders who've stopped flying on business jets because of the negative public perception?
They have to make their own decisions, but I just hope I compete with them. I get to work while they get to stand in line at the airport.
What's changed in the business world since the start of the Great Recession and what needs to happen for the economy to fully recover?
In my opinion, we have to make things simpler for entrepreneurs to start businesses and less costly tax-wise for long-term investors to support those businesses. Plus, entrepreneurs today seem to be thinking too much about exit strategies and not enough about their current profitability.
You've made a lot of money in high-tech industries. What drives you? Is it a passion for technology? A desire to win?
I love to compete. And I love to win. To me, business is the ultimate sport. It's you against everyone 24/7. What could be more fun than that?
You're an intense guy who seems to be going nonstop. What do you do to blow off steam and relax?
Play basketball, which I am off to do right now!

Topic: Need help please
Ok so im following Michael Hartl's tutorial for Ruby on Rails, and I'm at this point: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/ alidations where I just created a "Add_Email_Uniqueness_index migration" by using the command of "rails generate migration add_email_uniqueness_index" and after he did that (im following the video examples) he does a few things in the .rb file (which i did as well) and then runs "rake db:migrate". When I ran my db:migrate I get this:

When the conference's top offense bangs heads with the top defense, something has to give.
It was a fight to the finish, but Chester's O got the better of the Eagles' stingy defense in a 34-18 loss Friday night at Boz Adams Field.
The loss is the first for the Eagles, who now stand at 7-1, while Chester ultimately takes home the Silver Football trophy as the Yellow Jackets remain undefeated at 8-0.
Eldorado will close out the regular season at Vienna next Saturday as Chester closes out the 2013 campaign at home against Fairfield.
Despite the 16-point loss, Hampton takes solace in the fact that his guys fought to the final horn.
"I really hate it for our kids. They've worked so hard to put themselves in this position, but we just didn't execute as well as we needed too and we couldn't overcome some costly penalties. It wasn't for a lack of effort or want-too, we just didn't get many breaks. I hate it for our players, but we still have a lot to play for and have done some great things. It's important we stick together and go from there."
Eldorado took a 12-7 lead coming out of the locker room, converting on an onside kick won by the Eagles and finished when Tyler Deaton scored from seven yards out with 10:54 to play in the third.
Chester countered however and got a 16-yard touchdown pass from Jake Lochhead to Brad Asselmeier with 7:43 in third to make it a 13-12 ballgame.
With momentum at a standstill, the mood quickly shifted to the Yellow Jackets after Eldorado went 3-and-out on its next series.
For Chester, they would go on to score three more touchdowns, two by Asselmeier, who finished with four in the ballgame.
"In the second half it got away from us in a hurry," Hampton said. "We get the kickoff and go down and score and feel like we have momentum. We give up a score, go three-and-out and give up a quick score. Give Chester credit, they played really well. They shut us down hurt us running the ball on the perimeter. They are a good football team for a reason.
"I told our guys afterwards, we play them again and I like our chances. Tonight, however, they were the better team and sometimes that happens. Where we go from here is the deciding factor on how this thing finishes out."
While Eldorado rushed for 451 yards and threw for 228, the glaring stat is the 134 yards of penalities the Eagles racked up against Chester. In Hampton's opinion it was by far the determining factor Friday.
"We couldn't get any momentum and get into any kind of rhythm," he said. "With our offense, when you pick up 15, 20 yards and then it comes back and its 10 or 15 the other way, there's not a whole lot of options for our coaches in those kind of situations. We have to work to overcome those, watch film and go from here."
Page 2 of 2 - Deaton, who was one of 12 seniors honored before the game, led the Eagles with 290 yards of total offense. Deaton rushed 15 times for 126 yards and caught two passes for 164 yards.
Two other seniors, Dylan Roberts (10-46) and Derek Mitchell (13-46) had the other rushing statistics.

Posted on 02/07/2013 8:57:12 AM PST by Old Sarge
TAMPA BAY - The Florida Highway Patrol Troop C (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, Pasco, Hernando, Sumter and Citrus counties) has announced the roads it plans to target with driver license and/or vehicle inspection checkpoints in February. FHP says the checkpoints will be conducted during daytime hours, and generally cause delays of five minutes or less. Scroll down for a list of all affected roads.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcactionnews.com ...
A check of the maps shows that the proposed checkpoint locations are along all OUTBOUND roads from Tampa/St. Petersburg, running east and north. The interstate highways and toll roads are NOT being interdicted.
Add this one to the growing list...
If you have lists, ping them to this...
More revenue generation with guns...
...you can assured be these checkpoints wont be in any 'perfect voter' neighborhood. Must be sensitive ya know.
It's not a warrantless search without probable cause. It's an inspection. Land of the free, home of the brave...
A ruse to manufacture an excuse to search the passenger compartment and trunk for guns or drugs.
My reaction to this would be they do not have permission to enter the vehicle or inspect the trunk. Only the external part of the vehicle....all their requirements for safety can be demonstrated by the driver (wipers, steering, lights, turn signals, etc.)
The license, registration and insurance stuff is perfunctory here in Georgia...you only have to carry a license...insurance, safety inspection, and registration are checkable from their comm link.
I lived in Florida 71 to 73 and I recall this being done then. I got a ticket for an expired inspection sticker.
Don't worry, they'll have drug-sniffing dogs nearby that will magically "alert" any time they wish to search a vehicle thoroughly...
That still does not negate the 4th and 5th Amendment.
Don't answer questions, don't allow any searches of the inside or your person, always ask, "Am I being detained or am I free to go."
Being "uncooperative" by asserting your rights is not probable cause.
Your papers please....
Imagine that a vehicle gets stopped, and the officer observes a firearm. Instant probable cause to search the vehicle, the driver, and possibly confiscate the firearm if they can't prove ownership right there on the side of the road.
Please post an essay of not less than 5000 words comparing and contrasting the two (warrantless* search & inspection), be sure to cite your sources.
* -- The fourth amendment requires probable cause (supported by oath/affirmation) prior to issuing a warrant; therefore all warrants w/o probable cause should be nullity. (That, however, is a different topic.)
** -- "Due process and judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, not judicial process." (Eric Holder)
From the Article:
Q: What are" vehicle inspection checkpoints"? Troopers aren't mechanics, so why are they checking my car?
A: Per FHP, defective vehicle equipment, such as bad brakes, worn tires and defective lighting equipment, poses dangers to the public.
Fortunately we don't have those any more!
"Per FHP, defective vehicle equipment, such as bad brakes, worn tires and defective lighting equipment, poses dangers to the public."
Translation: We need an excuse to stop you for no good reason.
"bad brakes" sounds like "assault weapon" to me. How the hell does a roadside cop establish "bad brakes", outside of
totally inoperative ones? Disc pads measured for thickness?
Rotors checked for true with a dial indicator?
Not buying into that explanation.
I'd ask for a new inspection sticker then.
ahh but they do have chase vehicles in case anyone does a u turn to avoid the checkpoint.
the USSC said these are legal as long as public notice is given and a PRINTED criteria is used.
This must be a way for FHP to justify their existance. (they must really hate being called speeding ticket cops)
And if the stop an illegal with no license or registration?
I'm sure they'll apologize and wish him a buenos dias as they send him on his way.
To do otherwise would be racist, dontcha know.
Years ago I was stopped at a drunk driver checkpoint at midnight while on my way home from work (hospital...evening shift).I rolled down the window and the cop stuck his head in and got a huge whiff of halitosis (I hadn't had a drop).I was waved on and suddenly one of the cops yelled "stop" because he noticed that I didn't have a valid inspection sticker on my car.But the state Supreme Court had already ruled that intoxication was the only thing such roadblocks could cite.So a few seconds after being told to stop I was waved on again.
I really hate these inspections. They are clearly unconstitutional.
I have been through 4 of those. Interestingly they were all within a few years of each other. Twice was on Hwy. 90. I got waved through as they were only stopping every 5th or whatever it was cars.
The 3rd time was on Hwy. 2. I am not sure what they were doing but they clearly were not really checking, as he quickly glanced at my DL and waved me through. He did not check anything else at all.
The 4th was a bit amusing. It was on Hwy. 179 and traffic was really slow. I would guess maybe a car every few minutes. The trooper looked at my DL then turned to the other patrolman and said "look at this". I was driving an old 1978 LTD. The seat belts were too short so I had cut one off one of the rear belts and tied it in a square knot so it would fit.
The other trooper looked at the seat belt, they both laughed and sent me on my way.
I think both times I was stopped, they were looking for something and were just stopping cars as an excuse for what ever it was they were after.
But of course they never would consider going after illegal aliens, why that would be racist.
The DHS is quickly becoming a national police force. They've got their fingers in everything from rape crimes to border issues. My hope is that they've gone too far and we can peel them back with a good conservative Congress.
I remember Volusia in the late 70s on started the no probable cause dope stops on I-95
Originally on northbound for dope
Then went to southbound for the cash
It's all about money
Jackasses now many will go for guns
Refusal to allow a search will be taken as probable cause.
>> wish him a buenos dias as they send him on his way.
"Senor! Come back! You forgot your food stamps and housing voucher!"
Even your membership card and red ribbon on your antenna won't save you from this.
I knew a road block was up ahead and went on through even though I'd had two beers. I passed the breathalyzer so the state trooper checked my license. I had just gotten out of the navy and hadn't yet gotten a new license from that state. He told me to pull over to the side and to go get into his car. I did so and left his car door open. It was pouring down rain. He said "If the insided of that door gets wet me and you are goin' round and round."
I wiped rain water off the door and said "It's wet." Boy, was he pissed! He wrote me a ticket for not having a driver's license for the state in which I was living since he couldn't get me for anything else.
On Monday I called the state police and complained about how I, a veteran, had been treated. The head of the state police called me, apologized, told me the ticket would be dropped and the trooper would be getting a reprimand. hee hee
They were checking out the seat belts on hot babes!
"I need to shine the flash light through the front windshield, maam, to make sure your seat belt is on correctly. Please move your right leg a little to the right. A little more, please. Now your left leg to the left. There we go. Thank you, maam, for your co-operation. You may proceed."
"Hey, Bill! You shoulda' seen this one! She wudn't wearin' no panties! Woo-Hoo!"
Illegal Alien checks is more like it. I bet they get shut down quickly.
"the USSC said these are legal as long as public notice is given and a PRINTED criteria is used"
Do you happen to know the name of that case?
I am not familiar with that case but I no the local weekly newspaper prints those roads every week.
As near as I can tell they just print every highway in the county except I-10. The next month they print the same list.
Can't believe I wrote know as no. I do know how to use that word.
Bear in mind, this is NOT DHS, nor is it TSA. The agency involved is Florida Highway Patrol (state police). Not even county or local, but State.
I am getting wild speculation about what is the true purpose behind this cordon operation.
Well, yuh know...no?
My wife called me one night here in Knoxville, Tn. area to tell me she was stopped at one of these stop and search sites while coming home from visiting friends about 11 o'clock at night. She flat out refused to give the officer her license and registration, and told him he had no business stopping her while she was driving home and not breaking any laws. I fully expected her to be calling me to come pick her up at the jail after she had been detained; but she said the officer let her go on her way. I couldn't believe it! True Story
Excellent poster and sad as hell we've come to this.
In 99 when I lived in Vegas, I had a 79 F150 4x4 that I had pretty well kitted out. It came with a rear window gun rack when I got it from the original owner.
Just outside the Spaghetti Bowl I got pulled over for no reason I could imagine. I usually drive at or just under the speed limit and am not prone to highway stunt driving.
Sitting in the cruiser I was grilled extensively as to all sorts of things. And being on the clock, I also had the benefit of the company's legal services...so I played along.
"Why is there a gun rack in your truck?"
Because Officer, as you can probably tell by the chewing tobacco, 4x4 and tattoo, I are a redneck. At home is a 60 pound Basset Hound and a blond daughter. There is no gun in that rack or truck....And what if there were?
Perhaps you'd like to explain when any of those things became probable cause to pull me over since we both know I wasn't speeding and Gun Racks are not an illegal item in Nevada.
"Uh...Have a nice day."
They do it because it's the closest they can get to fishing on a lake.
Interesting that US 27 isn't on the list of roads. Troop C doesn't want to annoy those Disney tourists staying around US 27.
I noticed that. Couple that with the fact that there are no checkpoints in Pinellas, and it makes me think that they don't have the manpower to do it; they're economizing their troop strength along critical points.
So why all the attention to Tampa Bay?
Sometimes they'll put up a flashing sign on the interstate that says "DRUG CHECKPOINT - 2 MILES AHEAD".
Conveniently, there will be an exit off the interstate between that sign and the "drug checkpoint" 2 miles down the road.
So of course all those cars carrying drugs will thank God there is an exit before the checkpoint and take that exit to get off the interstate.
Where they will then find that the real drug checkpoint is at the end of that exit ramp off the exit they just took.

A very busy family (7 children) asked me how I could help them get more organized. They need every single second of every single day as simplified as possible. I surveyed their current space and gave them tips for organizing so they would have more space in their lives.
One of the projects for this family included organizing the Gilbertsville PA master bedroom & closet. We focused on removing items that did not belong in the space. The bedroom is small, but large enough to accommodate two adults. But not large enough for each of the adults to have their own dresser. We added under the bed storage for items that are currently "off season"; put the jewelry INTO the jewelry box. Gave them space to walk around their room without tripping over shoes by adding shoe racks to the closet (one hanging for her & one floor standing for him)
The lighting in the closet they had was not working, so we added temporary "plug in & clip on" led light fixtures that have bend-ability, so they can aim the lights where ever they need to see. Their closet structure was sufficient for their existing storage needs.
Closet Organization
Their organizing dilemma was that they didn't have any organization. I began by adding storage bins for the t-shirts (for him), the jeans (his & hers), the sweaters (his & hers), bins for everything you can imagine – socks, work out clothes, shorts, etc. I folded the shirts so they can see which shirt they are choosing by the "front art" and stacked them into the bins by color. We then labeled each bin according to what is inside.
We added hooks to the inside wall of this closet to hold: the purse & hat collection – thereby freeing up the closet hooks on the inside of the closet door to hold this season's fashion must have: SCARVES & BELTS! Which we used belt & scarf organizing hangers to hang these upon.
The results are amazing! Each busy parent can now get their clothes together and choose the accessories without a hassle each day. We have simplified their lives by organizing their bedroom and closet!

The WKU Student Research Council encourages student involvement in scholarly activities and coordinates annual REACH activities, including the WKU Student Research Conference. As a result of the WKU Student Research Council's efforts, Western Kentucky University will be widely recognized as a premiere institution for student involvement in scholarly activities.
Scholarly activity is original and creative work that is shared with colleagues and the general public. Research is a form of scholarly activity that involves the discovery of new knowledge. Other forms of scholarship include the development of new technologies, methods, materials, or uses; the integration of knowledge that leads to new understanding; and artistry that creates new insights and interpretations (Weiser 1996). Students can significantly enrich their academic experiences at WKU by engaging in scholarly activity.
The WKU Student Research Council promotes scholarly activities and professional development of graduate, undergraduate, and Gatton Academy students in all disciplines. To this end, the Council has four primary responsibilities.
- Encourage student involvement in scholarly activities
- Provide students with resources and information for scholarly engagement
- Encourage faculty mentoring of students
- Organize the annual WKU Student Research Conference
The success of the WKU Student Research Council depends upon a university-wide commitment to participation and collaboration among administration, faculty-staff, and students.

The Top 10 Tray Tables
"I hate glued-on storefronts," says Tomas Maier, creative director of Bottega Veneta, about the interchangeable retail outlets that can be found in any of the world's major cities. His design for the new Bottega Veneta Maison in Milan has been carefully tailored to its surroundings, an 18th-century building on Via Sant'Andrea.
Since 2001, Maier's considered and discreet approach to the concept of luxury has become as much a hallmark of the house as its signature intrecciato woven leather; this 11,000-square-foot space, which plays host to the complete range of Bottega products, accordingly exhibits his characteristic restraint.

The Acorn Novella is a nod to the classic smoking slipper, fabricated in fun cotton uppers with original embroidery detail. Polyester linings wick away moisture, and the insole is comfort cushioned with padded arch support. Soles are non-slip, weatherproof for indoor or outdoor wear. Vegan.
Acorn shoes makes footwear that's made for you. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you can be sure to find comfort with Acorn. They've found that it's the little things, the details, that make life's experiences the most rewarding, and they think the same goes for what you're wearing on your feet. That's why they've always worked to create products that perfectly combine comfort, style, and quality.
Acorn Novella Cream Lace Cotton Women's Slipper
Features include:
These are great slippers for the summer. A bit of cushioning in the foot bed, light, and comfortable. I always wear a 6 1/2, but since they only come in full sizes and I wouldn't be wearing them with any socks, I bought the 6. It was a bit snug at first, but has stretched a little and now fits great (if you like a fitted fit for slippers). Classy looking, too!
I love these slippers. They give adequate support but are not heavy on my feet at all. Soft cushion on the soles and soft cotton fabric uppers. Slip on and off easily. Wasn't sure about the pattern at first but am so happy with the color, design and fit of this slipper.
We live with two of the sweetest Manx cats, but they are killers. Which is necessary when living the country. This means it's wise to put shoes on before we get out of bed. These slippers are just the thing. They even have an arch pad for more comfort and support.

104: Find You
|Find You
Title text: I'm like the Terminator, except with love!
[edit] Explanation
This comic depicts Cueball on a rope in a cavern. The text indicates that one of his loved ones used to be afraid of being taken away from him and being forgotten. It is not explicitly made clear whether the loved one in question is a woman with whom he is in love, a family member, or a relation of some other kind, but presumably the loved one is either his girlfriend or wife.
Cueball had promised that he would always come looking for her. But then she actually was taken from him. He reiterates that he was serious about his promise and that he hopes she is not afraid, because he's coming to find her.
It's not clear exactly in what manner his loved one was taken from him, only that she was torn from his arms and vanished from this world. Though there are many other possible interpretations, this might be read to indicate that she has died and that Cueball is descending a cavern in search of the underworld where she has been taken.
It's also not completely clear whether Cueball is descending the rope or climbing it.
The title text plays on a quote from the 1984 film The Terminator, in which Kyle Reese describes the Terminator to Sarah Connor: "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." The implication is that Cueball, motivated by love, can't be persuaded to stop looking for his loved one by any means, and that he will never stop looking until he finds her.
[edit] Transcript
- [The panel is black with rough-edged white passages running down through it. A stick figure is holding onto a rope, dangling down one of these passages. White text is in the black sections.]
- You were afraid that you would disappear, that you would be lost and forgotten.
- I held you tight against the dark and said that I would always come for you.
- Then one day it happened. You were torn from my arms and vanished from this world.
- Maybe you don't remember my promise. But I meant every word.
- I hope you're not afraid, wherever you are.
- You don't need to be.
- I'm not.
- I will find you.
[edit] Trivia
- There is a fan made animated version of this comic.

- On xkcd.com, right clicking on the image and then opening the image in a new tab also shows the image upside down. Why? --18.104.22.168 06:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I've corrected it now. Had to resave the file and then upload again. --Jeff (talk) 12:54, 1 August 2012 (EDT)
Could this comic refer back to 98: Fall Apart? 18.104.22.168 03:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
There is nothing in the text to indicate that the loved one is a 'she' (or a 'he' for that matter) 18.104.22.168 02:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- True, but the reason the sought after person is presumed to be a woman is because it is implied that Cueball is motivated by love and xkcd's typical depiction of romantic love is heterosexual. It is, of course, certainly possible that the person sought after is loved in a non-romantic sense, but romantic love seemed most plausible to me. This was the reason for the sentence "It is not explicitly made clear whether the loved one in question is a woman with whom he is in love, a family member, or a relation of some other kind, but presumably the loved one is either his girlfriend or wife." The use of "she" throughout the rest of the explanation was done from this perspective. That is, under the assumption that it was the most plausible explanation. Erenan (talk) 16:53, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
--Rbs (talk) 16:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC) For me the cave architecture is strange, and personnaly reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie: Conan. Which can make sense for Cueball and the comic in this context. --Rbs (talk) 16:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC)rbs
- funny you should mention that. i tried to put in an explanation awhile back that the caves looked like one of those black-and-white afterimage things, like this one--http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/20111111/1000/mind_blowing_afterimages_optical_illusions_07.gif--except with the terminator instead of jesus, but i guess it got taken down. 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
This Whittier Weekend will witness the gathering of many Poet families, but one family legacy stands out from the rest.
The story begins with grandfather Ralph Kingsbury (pictured, right) who graduated from Whittier in 1933. He was succeeded by his daughter Kathleen Kingsbury Dobrzycki '64, niece Judith Sawyer Arndt '59, nephew Hon. Laurence "Larry" Sawyer '64, and niece Nancy Sawyer.
Next in line were Kathleen's children, Michael Dobrzycki '98 and Lyn Dobrzycki Carty '96 M.A. '98, as well as their cousin Steven Kingsbury.
"I always knew I wanted to go to Whittier College, but never felt forced," said Lyn. "Although attending Whittier was a 'family affair,' we all had unique Whittier experiences. Some of us pledged societies, a few of us studied abroad, and others played sports; we had a variety of majors and interests."
But this family's story doesn't end here.
Lyn and her brother Michael both went on to marry "interpoetically." Michael returned to Whittier for a few years as an adjunct art professor; he is married to a Whittier professor. Lyn married classmate Mitch Carty '96 M.A.'98 on July 31, 1999 atop Whittier's Founder's Walkway (pictured, left).
Mitch's grandparents had studied education at Whittier before him. His brother CJ and sister-in-law, Kelly Lynch Carty, graduated from Whittier in 2000. Youngest brother, Wes, followed in 2007.
"Needless to say, family helped draw all of us to Whittier, but Whittier prepared all of us to take very different professional paths," explained Lyn. After Whittier, members of the Kingsbury and Carty families would pursue careers in law, business, technology, finance, even Disney Imaginearing.
"Our three kids love coming to Whittier College athletic events and proudly wearing their Poet Pride gear on [their school's] college day," said Lyn. "Our nine-year-old daughter wants to be an art teacher. She plans to go to Whittier and be roommates with the daughters of two of my Athenian pledge sisters. And the youngest member of the family, my niece, attends Broadoaks!"
Long live legacy!
-by Lightmary Flores '17 and Veronica Galbreath M.A. '12

The Doctrine of Creation raises many questions. Throughout our series, we've endeavored to address them head-on—Who is the Creator?, How did God create?, and When did creation take place? Today, John MacArthur addresses the most important question yet. Why did God create?
Arguments abound over what makes a perfect story. Is it the characters—mysterious heroes and sinister villains? What about an engaging plot with intense conflict? Perhaps the unique settings and compelling themes make the story. While all those elements are important, they are worthless without a purpose. A story without a purpose is not worth telling, or hearing.
The creation account is just one element in the larger "story" God explains in His Word, a story with a definite purpose. God wrote the script, created the characters, and designed the plot. He even made the theatre and outfitted the stage for the unfolding drama. The story is called Redemption, and it's the grand design of the universe. Here's how John explains it . . .

I can only say Amen to this. God is a Sovereingn God. It is al for His glory. Thank the Lord Jesus for our Redemption.
Romans 8:30 (NASB)
And these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also GLORIFIED!
His will, will be done no matter what happens. What a great joy and peace this gives to the soul of a christian. The story of Redemption is the best story every written by the best Author there is and that is our Father.
Thanks for sharing John. I'm thankfull to the Lord to be a part of His story. I pray that many others will be added to the Kingdom.
John 6:37 (NASB)
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly NOT cast out.
I have also enjoyed the serie "The Wonder of Our Redemption" part 1,2 and 3. That we may spread the story of Redemption in the world.
A good book on the Sorvereingty of God is the book the Sovereingty of God by author A.W. Pink. It is one of my favorite books.

Hi Folks:
What makes a perfect story? "Truth is stranger then fiction". The little I've read over the last half century tells me that there IS a distinct difference between the genre of literature and the Word of God.
If ancient man were to write a "scripture" he would include lots of sexual ritual, lots of example of gods who act the same way the average human acted. If medieval man were to write the scripture he would have included lots of Greek philosophy, local myth, austere self degrading works, and an iron handed hierarchy for the institution called the "church". If modern man were to write the "scripture", he would include lots of science and belief in the superior nature of modern man, lots of evolving going on and such. If God were mentioned it would only be to start a long running process which would glorify the intellect of modern man and his discovery of nature. If post modern man were to write the Bible, he would include the philosophy of man, lots of sex, evolution which brings about "world peace", and everyone doing everything they ever wanted to do, and none of it being good or bad, everyone would be affirmed, everyone would be happy, when bad things happen to "good" people that would be due to their own character flaw. Progress progress progress.
How do I know- because that is what has happened- and none of it fits with what God really wrote. Biblical literature does not run in the same vain as man's does. Man's "scripture" leaves man "... always roaming with a hungry heart" (Tennyson).
Empty, Empty, Empty
Thus my weary heart confesses,
Are all mans vain redresses,
which would steal my heart away,
From my soul's delight in thee, Oh my God.
"Vanity" I hear the Preacher say,
All is vain at the End of Days;
Yet my soul yearns for thee, My God
Your face to see, My God
And the Word of Your lips,
washes the "vain" away. (Jacobson)
None can enter here, says the Messenger,
but the lowly in heart,
but the poor in spirit,
but those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
Found alone in Thee;
Who by thy blood has purchased,
the lowly in heart,
the poor in spirit,
those who hunger for Thee (Travler)
It is my observation that those who wish to make a name for themselves, usually have difficulty in letting the Word speak for itself, without trying to help it along in being palatable to our generation. I'm not pointing fingers- I have as much problems in this area as anyone. (Just a thought)

Yes! This is what I've been waiting for. Redemption is indeed the ultimate goal of God's creation, and why we need an explanation of the beginning, which we have in the book of Genesis. We don't need a historical or scientific chronicle to satisfy our curiosity. We simply need an understanding of "why" to point us toward the truth of Jesus Christ.
"Why did God create?"
To give God account of who He is. To worship Him and honor Him.
To give God glory due His name. So we may acknowledge Him as our
Creator. To give thanks to Him whom died on the cross to free us
from the bondage of sin. Death can't hold God. God is alive. Amen.
re # 3
Joey wrote: "We don't need a historical or scientific chronicle to satisfy our curiosity."
Indeed, very well said. But I'm thinking of the lost. Those who care not about God or His plan will not find any comfort in the pages of the bible. We've been through a lot in this series of blogs. Many misguided people who cannot see past their presuppositions still remain. Many "christians" still believing God could have used evolution when creating the universe.
To blame, the "educational" system that, little by little, abandoned reason to believe lies.
May God grants us the wisdom and strength to keep fighting the good fight; to occupy until He comes back.
#5 Amen and I keep on fighting for the truth. Awesome.
I must admit that I've never thought of it like this before. That all of creation was created with the specific purpose of "redemption" in mind is an intriguing idea. I must ask, though, if God created the universe with the ultimate end of redemption being the purpose, then wouldn't God be, in a sense, the author and creator of sin? To presuppose redemption means to presuppose a fall in the first place. It seems to me that in order for God to have created at all, if redemption was His purpose, He had to have not just foreseen but planned and ordained Adam and Eve's fall, am I wrong? Not to mention the fall of Satan which seems to have set these events in to motion.
I can't get to blog the new post and wonder why.?
