" Artist: Alcest / Genre: Metal / Release Year: 2005. "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Alcest has certainly been one of the most significant and talked-about extreme metal acts of 2007, surprisingly for being so non-extreme. Neige's nostalgic one-man project finally released its first full-length 'Souvenirs d'un autre monde' in August to an overwhelmingly positive response, mainly from those who had downloaded the leak months earlier, completing the transition from a minimalist black metal band with a rubbish demo into a soaring, escapist, optimistic blending of French black metal and British shoegaze that leans significantly towards the latter and is hardly recognisable as metal at all. While it's certainly distinctive, I found the deviation away from Neige's roots a little too extreme for my more extreme tastes, and fortunately this earlier E.P. from 2005 helps to bridge the divide while also highlighting how it could never really work in a sustained way.
Abandoning the band mates from the band's earliest incarnation, Neige handles all vocal and instrumental duties on 'Le Secret' and his work thereafter, and commendably only falls back on samples and extraneous instruments on rare occasions, creating his soundscapes with the traditional guitar, bass, drums and voice. The vocals are an interesting feature, as the first song is entirely sung in a dreamy manner that many have strangely mistaken to be a female guest singer, while the second returns to the screeching black metal growls for one last time before they vanished completely for the subsequent album. The contrast is enjoyable, and makes both songs stand apart even further despite their obvious similarities, the latter generally taking on a more traditional black metal style shifted into major keys and with a large sprinkling of fairy dust.
Alcest's lyrics, all written in French (and in the case of the second song, taken entirely from a poem by Charles Baudelaire), are aimed at evoking the atmosphere and mood of Neige's childhood fantasy realm the "fairy land" to which we are all invited as a temporary escape from harsh Avignon reality, an image that the album's old-style photos of children and samples of chirruping birds and a babbling stream at the start of the recording help to put in place before the music pulls the listener in completely. This idea is nothing new in black metal, though it has always been more customary for hypnotic music like this to have a far more sinister edge, as is the case with Burzum. For extreme metal virgins, it may be hard to reconcile the emotive screams of the second track with an idyllic mood, but you wouldn't be alone; while this is a successful experiment in pushing and merging genres for the most part, this recording makes it clear that one of the styles must go, and that turned out to be the conflicting black metal. Just don't tell the metal guys that.
1. Le Secret
2. Élévation
The title track is the slightly longer of the two at fifteen minutes, but both songs show signs of being edited to the perfect length to make sure listeners are satiated, or perhaps even eager for more, without becoming bored by the repetitiveness of the whole thing. After the nature sounds and a minimalist acoustic introduction to welcome the dawn, the music launches into a distinctly post-rock direction before finding its true calling into overly distorted wall-of-sound in the shoegazing tradition exemplified by My Bloody Valentine, a band Neige claims never to have heard - if he had, this whole thing might have happened a fair few years earlier. The drums seem a little contradictory at first, proceeding to blast along in a slow determination to provide a black metal foundation, but like the ethereal vocals that finally creep in almost half-way into the song, they assimilate into the soundscape once it becomes entrancing and all-encompassing. The song deteriorates for me towards the end, with an unnecessary and distracting shift into a more poppy, indie rock style of drumming and an unsatisfying call-back to the opening acoustics, but this can all be forgiven as a feature of what is essentially a highly experimental E.P. testing new ground.
'Élévation,' based on Baudelaire's poem of the same name, is more of a song for black metal traditionalists, and offers a glimpse (or a little more, at thirteen minutes in length) of the direction Neige could have pursued before deciding to abandon black metal. It's similar to the first song with its fuzzy wall of sound and generally uplifting tone, but everything is shifted into a more distorted black metal world that occasionally contradicts the dreamy woodland atmosphere, particularly in terms of the vocals. The opening keyboard section is long and hypnotic and is a perfect example of how Neige's intentions contrast with Burzum's in similar passages, and once again it takes three minutes for the song to properly get going. The drums are a little harder and faster, the tremolo-picking rhythm guitars roaring away with some really pleasant lead melodies overlaid, and even the eventual arrival of the vocals keeps things running smoothly until Neige decides to mess things around a little and interrupt the delightful flow with an irrelevant and short acoustic section that sticks out like an unwanted comma in a lovely long sentence. The latter half is superior on the whole, with a great guitar solo that I really wish had lasted longer, and the song draws to a close at almost exactly the right time.
'Le Secret' is an insightful glimpse into Neige's attempt to combine the somewhat irreconcilable black metal and shoegazing genres, and the perfect companion piece to the recent album. Released on Drakkar, Neige now has a five album contract with Prophecy Productions that will hopefully see Alcest's style continue to evolve in the coming years rather than fall back on this nostalgic style too often. This E.P. is an interesting experiment, and one that works surprisingly well despite the inherent drawbacks.

"You're getting the hell out of here pronto, kiddo."
This was the message distilled. He took five minutes of verbiage to palliate the
brusqueness. My advisor's eyes had a humorless petulance. People like me wasted his
time and for a busy scientist that was quite unacceptable. He was tall and unattractive
with grey, short frizzy hair and round granny eyeglasses that reflected the light as he
talked and moved his head. I kept thinking…Yes, yes, I know, I had it coming. Get
done with it. Oh Lizzie, what am I going to do without you?
"I did warn you."
His blue eyes glowered. Luminous blue eyes wasted on that face.
"Yes, Dr. Schoenwald, you did."
"Well, good luck, then."
We shook hands. A sad smile. Not your fault, old man.
I thought, perhaps it's for the best. I was getting nowhere with Lizzie. I was in
love with her even though Teddy kept telling me she's a pig. A few days ago, it came
up again when I told him that things at college were hopeless and I would probably
have to leave the States.
"You don't have to leave," he said. "Get married to an American broad, get an
American passport, and we'll find you a job. What's the problem?"
We were walking towards his car. It was some way off. Cars belonging to
students occupied all the parking places close by. It was like a blow to my head. What
he said. I almost got dizzy. What an intriguing thought.
"Do you think Lisa will have me?"
"For God's sake, Michael. Don't you understand plain English? Lisa's a pig. I
told you that before. She'll probably get involved with some Italian gangster sooner or
later and one day we'll find her with her throat slit."
You bastard, I thought, you creep. You're the pig, you son of a bitch. Engaged
to be married with Joan and fooling with Lizzie on the side. Telling her you love her,
you big hypocrite. Lisa was so beautiful. I was in love with her. In love with her voice,
her smile, her laugh, her gestures and expressions. I could not find a fault and tried to
figure why she was a coffee bar waitress and not a Hollywood star, a model or a
receptionist at some swanky hotel. Even, since she was a pig, a super high-class call
Teddy was a distant cousin and as soon as I arrived in Boston from Egypt for
university studies, he took me under his wing. His friendship, my loneliness and
inexperience of university demands were the reason why my studies went to hell. He
distracted me ever so pleasantly passing by in the evenings to take me for drives with
both Joan and Lisa. Separately, of course.
Lisa was of Italian stock, about Ted's age, that is a few years older than I was,
and because she was so exceptionally beautiful, I asked him, that first time, if he was

Fast or safe? How performance objectives determine modality output choices while interacting on the move.
Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - Proceedings
pp. 473-482.
In-car devices that use audio output have been shown to be less distracting than traditional graphical user interfaces, but can be cumbersome and slow to use. In this paper, we report an experiment that demonstrates how these performance characteristics impact whether people will elect to use an audio interface in a multitasking situation. While steering a simulated vehicle, participants had to locate a source of information in a short passage of text. The text was presented either on a visual interface, or using a text-to-speech audio interface. The relative importance of each task was varied. A no-choice/choice paradigm was used in which participants first gained experience with each of the two interfaces, before being given a choice on which interface to use on later trials. The characteristics of the interaction with the interfaces, as measured in the no-choice phase, and the relative importance of each task, had an impact on which output modality was chosen in the choice phase. Participants that prioritized the secondary task tended to select the (faster yet more distracting) visual interface over the audio interface, and as a result had poorer lane keeping performance. This work demonstrates how a user's task objective will influence modality choices with multimodal devices in multitask environments. Copyright 2011 ACM.

Theo Walcott is set to sign a new deal after Arsenal indicated they are ready to up their offer to him.
The 23-year-old's contract runs out at the end of the season and he had rejected the club's proposal of a new deal worth £75,000 a week.
Walcott wants £90,000 a week and his representatives were holding a new round of talks with Arsenal today with the club prepared to come closer to his demands.
This is the second concession Walcott has won as he has started to play up front on a more regular basis rather than out wide.
The U-turn by the Gunners is their attempt to stop the England international joining one of their rivals on a free transfer in the summer with Chelsea among the clubs watching the situation.
The departure of Walcott would further anger fans who have been incensed by the loss of stars such as Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas in recent seasons.
Walcott is the club's top scorer this season with 14 goals and earlier this week he intimated he is set to agree terms to stay in north London.
He said: "I'm sure that something will be sorted very soon. I've always said I wanted to stay and I enjoy playing for this team. Now we will just see what happens. I will continue to play my football and let the people who look after me and the club talk to each other and go from there."
Although Chelsea are set to miss out on Walcott, they are still due a busy month in the transfer market and are stepping up their efforts to sign Metalist Kharkiv star Taison and Newcastle striker Demba Ba.
Taison claims he has already held talks with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and the Blues are continuing to pursue Ba as Paris St-Germain weigh up a late move for the Senegal international.
Chelsea want to sign at least two players as they look to boost their chances of winning silverware this term, including the Premier League, where they sit 14 points behind leaders Manchester United with two games in hand.
Taison was a guest at Chelsea's draw against Fulham in late November, when the Brazilian met Abramovich with a view to moving to west London this month.
Chelsea want to buy the 24-year-old for £10million and if the deal goes through then Taison will be reunited with compatriot Oscar, the two having formed a close bond while they were at Brazilian side Internacional.
"I went to England [some weeks ago] just to take a look," said Taison, who can play as a striker and as a wide player. "I talked to the president. I saw Oscar and I want to play with him again."
Although Ukrainian side Metalist are keen to keep Taison his agent Diego Dornelles said: "The club want him to stay but there are many things coming."
On top of Oscar, Chelsea already boast a strong Brazilian contingent with David Luiz, Ramires and Lucas Piazon, while they have also agreed a deal for Fluminense right‑back Wallace.
Chelsea's still hope to sign Ba, who has a £7.5m release clause, despite talks with his representatives breaking down on Sunday over salary demands and agent fees.
The 27-year-old revealed last week PSG would be his first choice were he to leave Newcastle and the French club are thinking about improving their attacking options.
Chelsea have not given up and expect more talks to take place as they try to replace Daniel Sturridge, who is set to complete a switch to Liverpool worth in excess of £15m.
Chelsea have also moved for Ba after conceding their first-choice target to play up front, Colombia international Falcao, wants to stay at Atletico Madrid until the end of the season. They will make another move for him in the summer but will face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Manchester City.
A move for midfielder Marouane Fellaini may also have to be postponed for now because Everton are determined to keep him as they chase a top-four finish.

MONTCLAIR - The consequence of outsourcing fire services to another agency could mean the city would have to pay unfunded pension costs in the millions.
The city is looking at options to have its fire services handled by another agency - a request made by its Fire Department, said City Manager Edward Starr.
Both Cal Fire and San Bernardino County Fire Department have submitted proposals on how they would operate the department. On Monday night, during a special workshop, the council heard a presentation from county Fire Chief Mark Hartwig.
The chief explained the proposals, one that could bring the city an annual cost savings of more than $400,000.
"We propose a regionalized service delivery model we think would apply and work in Montclair," Hartwig said. "We, through strong relationships and building trust and accountability, have that accountability at the local level."
If the city opted to go with county fire department then firefighters would be considered county employees.
The question then becomes how much Montclair is liable for unfunded retirement pensions after pulling its firefighters out of the state's Public Employees' Retirement System and joining the county system.
The exact amount has not been determined but it could be anywhere between $5 million and $8 million, Starr said.
"Our obligation first and foremost is a fiduciary one to the city. We need to look at what makes financial sense to the city and whether we deliver better service in a more efficient manner," Councilman Bill Ruh said.
The county could cover those unfunded retirement costs through a loan and give Montclair a certain period of time to pay it back, says Chris Jackson, president of the Montclair Fire Fighters Association.
The association has said it would prefer to go with county because it would allow for better response times and better service.
"In large part we will have the available resources," he said.
San Bernardino County has given the city two proposals each for a 10-year period, with the option to opt out after three years.
The city Fire Department is budgeted for $5.2 million annually and is estimated to cost $4.7 million through county.
The $479,000 annual savings could come if it selects the operating model that uses a blend of its current staff and firefighters who are under three-year contracts with the county, Hartwig said.
Limited term firefighters are often younger adults who are fully certified and learning the trade on the job.
"We use them in every division in county Fire Department. They've proven to be a good option for places that doesn't have the financial means to get the experienced professional firefighter," Hartwig said.
If the city chooses this model, not all of the Montclair firefighters would be retained locally. They would be offered other positions within the county, Hartwig said.
"We wouldn't use them in the County Fire Department if we didn't think they provided good service," he said, referring to the contracted firefighters.
Another model under county operation keeps the current staffing level with professional firefighters but would cost the city an additional $533,000.
"The only reason we are looking at this is if we can save money and provide the same level of service," Councilman Leonard Paulitz said.
Tensions between the city and its Fire Department have been strained in recent years but Jackson said the association fully supports the council and the city.
Firefighters have been at an impasse with the city over their concerns about insufficient staffing and reductions in training and pay. Jackson said Montclair firefighters are paid 30 percent less than those in surrounding agencies.
"My biggest hope is all the information gets put out there and that the council does its due diligence," he said.
Following the presentation on Monday, some council members said questions still remain about the county's proposal. The council agreed to send those questions to Starr to relay them to Hartwig.
Jackson said he would prefer to have another public meeting and have those questions discussed.
"It's an education process now," Jackson said. "The county would be a better choice, but I will support my council and the city."
Officials of Cal Fire, which is the other entity to submit a proposal to Montclair, have acknowledged to Starr that they are re-evaluating their proposal. It could be a few weeks before a decision is made if Cal Fire will proceed, Starr said.
The earliest the city could receive a presentation from the state agency would be April.

Have you grocery shopped lately? I'm sure each of us has shopped at one time or another. We know that a good grocery store usually stocks everything needed to provide our family with the foods we eat. NOW, once inside, it really comes down to what you are looking for and the aisle that has your items. Some go up each aisle and load their cart; others may take only certain items from the shelves. But this is the typical way to grocery shop, in order to provide the meals a family likes and needs to nourish their bodies. However, I have another question for you…
Have you shopped lately for spiritual food? Maybe it would vary just a little, but didn't Jesus come to set the world free? He provided everything for us; His store is full and no payment is needed at checkout! For a moment consider ALL that Jesus did for us. . . once you are in the store everything is free. You can have as much as you like. In Eph. 1:3 it says, "…every spiritual blessing has already been given to us in Christ;" in 1 Tim 6:9 Paul says, "He has given us all things richly to enjoy…;" and in 2 Pet. 1:3 it says "…we have been given all things that pertain to life and godliness…" Go with me to Psalm 103, where it mentions our BENEFITS in the new covenant. ALL sin is forgiven; ALL sickness is healed; Goodness and kindness is ours; ALL destruction is removed and our mouth is satisfied with good things, while our strength is renewed like the eagles. WOW!!! Sounds like the shelves are fully stocked and running o-o-over!
Like Paul, I beg you to SEE that we are living in the "dispensation of grace" and it is no time to run short of your supply. Doesn't this sound too good to be true? Yet, it dumfounds me how many people in God's store walk around with nothing in their carts. Rather, it saddens me when someone with a full cart is applauded because "we consider it a miracle;" for God's desire is for everyone to have a full cart. Why are so many NOT filling their carts? The supply never runs out! Have you ever tried to replace a can of SpaghettiOs in a row with that automatic restocking device? Then you know it takes more effort to put it back than to keep it. Now see this as a spiritual example; the person who believes a healing or miracle is theirs, but they don't take it because they feel undeserving, or they haven't done enough for it, or it's "special" and they don't qualify! These are those with empty carts who applaud those with full carts, but then leave the store empty-handed. Has religion and wrong teaching robbed us of the truth about His storehouse FULL of benefits?
I encourage you to see every miracle and provision of the Lord as the most normal, natural and to-be-expected experience that can be enjoyed every day of your life. God's supply-house is fully equipped with automatic restocking… An exceedingly abundant supply… Open 24/7… No limits!]]>
Here's what I think… Let's take a look at the first of two perspectives. Jesus under the old covenant encouraged men and woman to have faith for something that they didn't yet possess. For instance, the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of Jesus' garment was rewarded when the Lord said, "Daughter your faith has made you well." She used her faith to get something Jesus had.
NOW see how the apostle Paul moved unbelievers into a decision of faith to receive Jesus as Lord; but you don't see him trying to get the believer to believe. As you know the early church was under great attack. Paul himself and sometimes through the help of others would encourage and establish the believer in the faith. This simply means that he encouraged them concerning the whole scope of Christianity to remain steadfast and not give up. He wasn't trying to get them to keep believing for a healing or something else that comes to us through our salvation. If you remember, Paul and Peter both seemed to echo the thought that we have been given ALL spiritual blessings necessary for life and godliness. From the fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ we have received—we are abundantly supplied with all the blessings necessary to influence our lives with plenty of amazing outward experiences. (Paul would have told us if we needed to wait for something more.) This is, however, the reason why Jesus came to the earth: to solve the sin problem that hinders man from experiencing God and His goodness.
God wants us to just put on the new man—don't worry about taking OFF the old man. Just identify with Christ and everything about Jesus will not only lead you into relationship with the Father but it will also empower your life with His grace to experience your salvation NOW. Let's get simple enough to take NO thought for tomorrow… Have no worries… And LET NOT your heart be troubled. There is a REST for the believer. Just put the Lord FIRST and all things that are needed will be added to you. This means your qualification is forever met in Christ alone. Nothing else is needed!
Let's not put "the cart before the horse" and get ahead of what God the Father has ALREADY given to us.]]>
(John 1:16 NKJV) . . . "And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace." The Amp… says, "For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift." Jesus lived on the earth strengthened by grace and truth. Because of this he was empowered to experience everything that His spirit was supposed to. He used grace all day long. If it was a coat, then Jesus wore it all day every day. In fact His closest followers would all testify that Jesus was never seen without His coat on. Peter wrote that Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power and went around doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.
This is Grace!
Paul told us in Ephesians that the way a man gets saved is by GRACE. He said, that by grace we are saved through faith and then made it very clear for all to understand that it had nothing to do with us. All we did was to acknowledge that we needed salvation and then accept the work of redemption that Jesus provided on the cross of Calvary. When that simple choice was made, grace went into overdrive and made everything about us brand new. This, as you know is just the beginning. In the same way that we are saved, we are to experience every facet of our salvation. To this day, God believes that His salvation is the easiest experience one could have.
Our experience you could say is like wearing the coat we described earlier. Once you put it on, don't ever take it off. Or we could make grace likened to a pair of new jeans. It's sad, but so-o-o many never USE their grace. They tell everyone that they have a new pair of jeans and even thank God for their new jeans. BUT they don't wear them!! If you were to witness this you would be screaming, "Put them on!" Our scripture says that we have grace heaped upon grace… way, way more than enough. God's calculations were never for only a day or a week, they were calculated by an UNLIMITED spiritual equation.
The grace of God (through faith) forgave you of all sin. But this is just the start! Now PUT ON your jeans or your coat and begin to experience God's unlimited grace in every area of your life. Enjoy God's presence every day of 2012, listen to His voice and receive His direction, walk in divine health, pray for others and the list goes on and on! From spiritual things to having all your needs met, the grace of God is yours TODAY. Keep wearing your jeans, don't ever take them off.]]>
NOW, I would love for each of you—no matter what the conditions are—to follow the one thing that David sought with all his heart; that is to experience God. Right in the heart of all the trouble that was impossible to handle, David learned the secret to being a champion… Develop and maintain your focus on God. With all the wisdom of the world, the three greatest stress relievers of our day or any other self-help therapy, no one or thing can calm your soul like Jesus. He has peace flowing from the throne of God that will flood your soul and guide you into every victory that your covenant declares!
I am moved today to focus on the word, "soak". Soak means: to make or allow something to become thoroughly wet by immersing it in liquid. David certainly was known for his time spent in the presence of the Lord. AND in the 5th chapter of 2 Corinthians, Paul emphasized that he groaned within to become thoroughly immersed in the sea of immortality. We were made to be inwardly at peace and outwardly saturated with heaven. Life wasn't meant to be walked through alone. So wherever you are in life, find a few moments to look within and see the wonders of Him. Even if you should fall asleep, practice being quiet and focused on Jesus. There is a presence and an anointing that will surprise you as you do this. God wants to walk through the toughest of times with you as if you never noticed how tough they were. There is direction, confidence and security in the presence of the Lord. Let's get soaked in the Glory of God this year… AND by the time 2013 rolls around YOU will have had the best year of your lives.]]>
THINK about the Old versus the New Covenant? Did we need a New? What was the real purpose for the Old, anyway? To answer this for you I surveyed once again the thoughts of the apostle Paul. And I'll say it this way—the Old Covenant made man mindful of his sin and need for HELP! More often than not, for a man to change his way he needs to hit rock bottom… when he comes to the END of himself, it marks the beginning of something new. Isn't it a fact… unless you KNOW you have a need that you can't solve, you won't seek for the answer?
When someone is at the bottom, usually the only way is UP. AND the greater the NEED, the greater the appreciation there is for HELP! Paul described the condition of the world when he said, "…all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." He went on to say that there are none righteous, no not one. This sounds like a spiritual rock bottom, doesn't it? Whether man is totally unaware through ignorance or the noise of the world is so loud that he is greatly distracted, I believe that the heart of every one has a longing to be made right.
This is why, at this time of year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. When the world had no hope and no answers for the condition of man, God's love sent His only Son into the world. He is the perfect sinless substitute and the only hope for the world. When Jesus went to the cross with a perfect heart on behalf of the world, He paid the debt in full and canceled the punishment for our sins; HE made it possible for man to have a relationship with God. I remember hearing this when I was four years old. I may not have known what rock bottom was as a child, but I understood that Jesus had a gift for me that He wanted me to have. I have grown to understand the significance of what Jesus really did for me, and for this reason I remind you of what Jesus did for each of us!
This holiday season, as you celebrate the birth of Jesus, be extremely thankful that ALL your sins are forgiven. And know that we have received a New and better Covenant through Jesus' finished work at the Cross—it's a DONE deal! As you think on this, you will find amazing joy. AND the more this means to you, the greater thanks you will have. This is God's grace!]]>
God couldn't wait to announce that He would finally be at peace with men. Angels flew over the little town of Bethlehem as they waited the birth of the savior of the world. His name was Emanuel, God with us. The celebration was very much anticipated. God had from the time of Adam and Eve's sin interjected prophetic words with types and shadows to foretell the birth of Jesus. With the reign of sin on the earth for four thousand years peace was a lost understanding. Man has been forever trying to please God with works so that God wouldn't judge him with wrath. How sad!
The intention of our Creator was to establish a family on the earth. How quickly sin thwarted that plan and brought punishment and destruction into our lives. Man has no hope in the earth without a savior. This is why the angels sang in unison, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace…" Jesus had come as the mediator between God and man to redeem man from sin. The price was high, but the reward was even higher. A Family would be born out of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. His death would release us from sin and His resurrection would fill us with the Glory of His life. Oh, what joy!
Hope restored would bring creativity back into the hearts of man. Peace which every heart longs for would be instantly experienced as this baby born in Bethlehem who is now both Savior and Lord of those who have received Him would remove sin as the obstacle restoring once again fellowship with God. The joy of our salvation is now possible. Every man must know that God is at peace with mankind. One simple prayer will receive God's grace to be changed into a child of God.
One baby was born, one life was given, Limitations have vanished – With God all things are truly possible. Peace in your heart is where it all starts. Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.
Let me remind you again that the seed you sow in good ground, watered and protected by the prayer of faith, will produce a God-size harvest. AND because you and I serve the God of "more than enough," He has no problem fulfilling His part of the principle of sowing and reaping and still has enough in His storehouse to provide you with the desires of your heart… this is the time to PRAISE GOD for His gift of a Savior… God is at PEACE with mankind!]]>
What about spiritual frustration? Could the same principle apply? Let's take 1st things first; the spirit world is 100% accurate… Make no mistake… There are NO variables with God! This is very important to our walk of faith. For faith to be engaged in our lives it must be based on the greatest of realities. This is why we are so blessed to consider the character of God. He cannot change (Mal. 3:6; Js. 1:17). As James describes it in the first chapter, "there is no variableness or shadow of turning with God." Meditate this…
So if the unseen realm of heaven is perfect and unchangeable, then surely (without a doubt) you can know what to expect from God. This is exactly where faith begins. This is also why prayer is so effective… you know what to expect BEFORE you ask… Now let's bring in the word of God and tie the knot! The Hebrew writer said in Heb. 4:12, "For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword…." Are you starting to see how this comes together? From God himself to His word, He is completely accurate in every way. It is impossible for God to bend or alter in any way the spiritual accuracy and legitimacy of the Truth.
So stop for a moment… Determine NOW to see everything through the eyes of the realm of eternity. Your prayers will work when you are REAL and accurate just like God is. There will be no need for stress and worry in your life; you will have the greatest confidence and your faith will work so naturally… just like NORMAL… like God designed it to work!]]>
IF you were to recount crises and circumstances that you've encountered over the past years, what difference would the supernatural have made? Can you imagine how amazing life could have been if the powers of God had flowed abundantly with supernatural intervention?
IF a believer could see beyond the NATURAL and comprehend life through the eyes of the SUPER-NATURAL, just think how the stress level would drop to near zero! Is not this the dream of every Christian? After all, shouldn't we be destined for this kind of life?
OKAY… Now let's stop for a moment and look at this word. The word "Supernatural" in and of itself is part of the smoke screen Satan has used through the ages to describe events that seem only to happen once in a while. This is tragic. And WHY is it a tragedy? What we have been calling "Supernatural" should really be our NATURAL or normal realm of living. THINK with me…if God's love, power and spiritual blessings, having the ability to change every facet of your life, were the norm or NATURAL, then everyone would come to expect a daily continual flow of God's grace in their lives. Isn't this what we've longed to have?
STAY with me…Conversely, what we have termed "Natural" in our lives describes what is worldly and satanic. We have considered negative influences and crises to be the natural or expected way to live. Just this acknowledgement alone is enough to give each negative work substance or tangibility. But how can we change this? SIMPLY by renaming the things we have thought to be natural as "Unnatural". Can you see already how this wording changes what we've come to accept as NATURAL to actually be unacceptable? Sickness is not normal, it's unnatural. Death, poverty, calamity and every other evil is unnatural. Anything that would contend for your spirit and keep you from having fellowship with God is UNNATURAL.
TODAY I challenge you to mentally make a change in the way you view your life. Be careful of UNNATURAL involvement—which can be the everyday things we do—that distracts you from God and immediately embrace God and His grace. Consider your journey with God and the grace that empowers you to HAVE normal and natural experiences that will occur with ease every day of your life… the DREAM of every believer!]]>
Consider this with me…God doesn't need us to help Him with the forgiveness process. God so loved the world (us) that He GAVE… and Jesus took all our sin on Himself in exchange for His righteousness… He FINISHED the work at the cross, died and rose again for our justification—just-as-if-we'd-never-sinned. I want you to understand that God has forgiven ALL your trespasses once and for all in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance isn't about you doing the right thing; it is about you THINKING the right thing. The action of "turning" in the word repentance is you turning from the wrong thinking that continually puts you and your behavior at the top of the list and redirects your thoughts totally to the perfect behavior of our Lord Jesus. If your thinking is right concerning your freedom from sin, then the power to resist sin will be evident and to change your behavior will be easy. This is the foundation of the redemptive work of Christ. He became sin with our entire life's worth of sin—past, present and future—so that forever we could rest in the righteousness of His perfection. You must always identify yourself with the ability or grace that comes in your position of right-standing with God. If you try to change your behavior with out His ability then you are naturally tied to your own efforts. AND man's efforts rise and fall with our emotions. WHILE the ability of Jesus is 100% based upon His completed and finished work of redemption. There is nothing else that He can do to improve on what has already been done. How does God see you? He sees you PERFECT! RIGHTEOUS! FORGIVEN! The blood of Jesus cleansed you completely.
We will always struggle if our emphasis is on US and OUR behavior. God wants our attention to be focused on the way HE sees US… then sin will no longer be the issue and Jesus will be the focus of our attention, our devotion and our love. It's not about how much we love Him… it's all about how much He loves US.]]>

If this year's Creative Arts Emmys took place in Westeros, HBO would've easily ascended to the Iron Throne.
Fueled by its original series Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire, with a little love thrown at the Clive Owen-Nicole Kidman movie Hemingway & Gellhorn to boot, the pay cabler walked away from the evening with 17 total wins, including six for Thrones alone. (Last year, the fantasy saga grabbed gold just twice, even including at the Big Show.)
CBS placed a solid second with 13 wins, including five total for its coverage of the Grammys and Tonys, plus a pair for, »

Not sure how many Broadway fans will get the hockey reference, but Neil Patrick Harris has made it a hat trick and agreed to host the upcoming Tony Awards for the third time in four years. Nph is good at it, and it is nice that Broadway has stability on the hosting front. I'm already wondering what will happen late this year when AMPAS starts looking around again for an Oscar host. Billy Crystal certainly stopped the bleeding by stepping in after Eddie Murphy dropped out along with producer Brett Ratner, but Crystal's usual schtick felt dated to me. Emmy Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris, star of the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, returns to host The 66Th Annual Tony® Awards, to be broadcast live from The Beacon Theater in New York, Sunday, June 10 (8:00-11:00 Pm, live Et; delayed Pt) on the CBS Television Network. »

This will be the third time that Harris has hosted the Tony Awards, previously serving as host for both The 63Rd Annual Tony Awards in 2009 and The 65Th Annual Tony Awards in 2011. As he did in 2011, Harris will also act as a producer, along with executive producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment. "I'm thrilled to be a part of this year's Tony Awards," said Neil Patrick Harris. "Not only will I be shining a spotlight on the best that Broadway has to offer, but hopefully I'll score some free house seats to a show – or five! »

The Directors Guild of America has announced the winners of the DGA Awards for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in film, television, and commercials for 2011. The DGA's are often considered the best predictor of who will win the Academy Award for Best Director. The nominations were a bit of a shocker because Steven Spielberg was left off the list for his work on "War Horse."
No director not at least nominated for a DGA Award has gone on to win the Best Director Oscar, and only a handful of past DGA winners have failed to win one. Master of Ceremonies Kelsey Grammer, joked about tedious awards shows saying, "Last year's awards were so long, the directors cut is two hours shorter."
We've got the list of winners for you right here. Who do you think will take the Best Director Oscar this year? Are you surprised by the winners? Do you think »

In the Quran, Allah (swt) says, "O mankind! You are Fuqara (those in need)." We have many needs. We look at other people and are reminded of our own deprivations. Zakariya (as) looked at Mariam (as) and realised he has a need. He immediately turned to Allah (swt) in need.
All day long we remind ourselves of what is missing from our lives, yet when we get on the prayer mat we forget to ask. Allah (swt) did a great favour upon us by collecting the Duas of His beloved servants (as) and preserving them. The Companions (as) forwarded the kindness by recording the supplications of the Prophet (sa). These are the Duas for us to take inspiration from.
Let's look at some of the Duas that the Prophets (as) made and we should too.
1. Protection from Shirk
Following people and keeping a tab on their lives might appear trifling. But when people become the sole focus of our lives – we live for them, we seek and cherish their praises – then certainly it is not a petty matter. We have fallen for Shirk. Allah (swt) should be the main focus of our lives. We should seek love and acknowledgement from Him. In the times of trials, we should remember He is the One to ask help from. Seeing our blessings, we should thank Him first and then the people. We need to learn about the different forms of Shirk and protect ourselves from falling for them.
Ibrahim (as) lost his family, his people and his town, but he did not associate anyone with Allah (swt). He asked Allah (swt) to protect him and his sons from worshipping idols. "And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said: O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security, and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols." (Ibrahim 14:35)
2. Peace and Sustenance
Hearing the news of another bomb blast or another strike, one wonders how life will continue. How will the businesses function? Fearing for safety and sustenance leaves one anxious and disturbed. Nothing can be accomplished. Leaving his family in an uninhabited land, Ibrahim (as) asked Allah (swt) for peace, sustenance and warmth of the people. He knew they will need all these to survive their challenges. "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks." (Ibrahim 14:37)
3. Righteous Companions
A Hadeeth tells us that we will be resurrected with the people that we love. Who do we love? Yusuf (as) a righteous man himself, especially prayed to Allah (swt) to join him with the righteous in the hereafter. "My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me the interpretation of dreams; The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the Hereafter, cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous." (Yusuf 12:101) Ask Allah (swt) to grant you righteous friends, righteous spouses, righteous children in this world and to raise you and your loved ones with the righteous, in the hereafter.
4. Protection from Zulm
Zulm is not giving someone his right. You take the telephone set off its stand and place it on the floor, you have done Zulm. We must ask Allah (swt) to not make of those who commit injustice or injustice is done to us. All the arguments of someone not giving us our right will just end.
5. Acceptance of Deeds
Upon doing a good deed we must remember Ibrahim's (as) humility. Never should we be boastful. Ibrahim (as) was chosen by Allah (swt) to build His House, yet he feared acceptance. "And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) and (his son) Isma'il (Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah), (saying), Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."(Al-Baqarah 2:127)
Ask Allah (swt) to guide us to the deeds which are accepted and allow us to do them.

Police: NC men tied man up, poured gas on him, set house on fire
AYNOR, SOUTH CAROLINA - Authorities say the two suspects from North Carolina charged with killing a Horry County man by setting his home on fire tied him up and poured gasoline on him before igniting the blaze.
Police said 68-year-old Charles Smith died in the fire in his Aynor home last month.
Investigators released arrest warrants against 20-year-old Tommy Benton, of Chadburn, North Carolina, and 19-year-old Mitchell Cheatham, of Council, North Carolina. Both men are charged with murder and arson.
Police are still investigating a fire at a furniture store owned by Smith three days before he was killed.
Investigators say both suspects are in custody in North Carolina on unrelated charges, and South Carolina authorities are seeking their extradition. It wasn't known if they had lawyers.

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here, but, I lurk ALL the time :lol:
This is a simple question, I'm just drawing a blank. I'm just making a super simple ribbed hat for my daughter and am wondering how to decrease in pattern. I'm using a K2P1 pattern. Thanks in advance!
Since you won't be able to keep a strict K2, P1 pattern once you start dec'ing, I think you just purl the knits and knit the purls as you come to them to keep the ribbing the same. :?? I don't have a test swatch, so I'm working off of a mental picture.
IF you are in the round....and are doing a knit two then purl one....I would pick up knit and purl stich and knit themtogether each time and space tje, evenly so it would like like the purl stiches were disapearing and mearging into stockinette at the crown.

This rich and elegant potato gratin makes a perfect match for any grilled or roast meats, including Thanksgiving turkey, and can elevate simple roast chicken into something special.
Make Ahead: The potato mixture can be assembled and placed in the prepared baking dish, covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking. Allow to come to room temperature for at least 1 hour before baking.
Servings: 8
- Vegetable oil, for greasing the baking dish
- 3 to 6 Idaho potatoes (3 pounds)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 to 4 medium shallots, finely chopped (1/4 cup)
- 2 to 3 medium cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary leaves, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk, preferably whole
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Use just enough oil to lightly grease the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish.
Peel the potatoes. Use a mandoline or food processor to slice them as thinly as possible (about 1/16 inch). As you work, transfer the sliced potatoes to a large mixing bowl to a large bowl. Add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream and toss to coat evenly.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic; reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring; do not let them brown.
Add the bay leaves, rosemary; pinch off pieces of the cream cheese to add it, along with the milk and the remaining 3/4 cup of cream. Whisk as you work to remove any lumps. Heat until the mixture is barely bubbling around the edges, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly, until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste; stir to mix well. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the bowl; toss gently to combine.
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with the cheese and then with the bread crumbs. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

(Updated 1:30 a.m.) WATSONVILLE -- A 20-year-old Watsonville man was beaten and stabbed to death about 2:40 p.m. Thursday near the corner of Lincoln and Alvarado streets.
The stabbing of Felipe Reyes is the third in the past two days in the city. It comes less than two weeks after 18-year-old Marco Ortega was fatally shot while attending a girls soccer game at Watsonville High School.
It's the city's third homicide this year and surpasses the number of slayings there in all of 2012.
Watsonville Police Chief Manny Solano said the homicide coincided with the launch of a 14-day countywide crackdown on gangs, known as Operation Take Back.
"Obviously we are concerned," Solano said. "We do have a plan and not just us, but the gang enforcement team supplemented with officers to address the upsurge in gang activity throughout the county."
The fatal stabbing happened in an alley across from Lincoln and Alvarado streets in a neighborhood with a mix of homes and businesses a little more than more than a block off Freedom Boulevard.
The man was chased from a nearby apartment complex by multiple assailants, who caught up with him in the alley and stabbed him, Solano said. The victim staggered across the alley and collapsed in the doorway of an upholstery shop. He was declared dead at the scene after suffering at least two stab wounds to his upper torso.
The attackers fled the scene on foot.
Police would not confirm whether they had found a weapon.
Solano said they are treating the homicide as a gang-related slaying. He said it is "similar" to the stabbing of a 15-year-old on the 200 block of Bockius Street Wednesday afternoon.
Representatives from the Santa Cruz County Gang Task Force, including members of the California Highway Patrol and District Attorney Bob Lee, were at the scene, along with Watsonville investigators.
Officers were canvassing the area for witnesses and looking to see if there's any video surveillance footage. Late Thursday, detectives said they obtained some useful evidence from the scene, but declined to elaborate because of their continuing investigation, according to Sgt. Eric Taylor.
While Thursday afternoon, police said they thought the stabbing could be gang-related, Taylor's statement released just before midnight said, "The question of how this may be related, if at all, to gang activity, cannot be answered at this time due to lack of information."
Councilman Daniel Dodge, who lives a few blocks away near Lincoln and East Lake Avenue, was out talking to residents about the incident as the coroner arrived. He said officers were searching his neighborhood earlier.
"My neighbors are pretty shocked," Dodge said. "I'm really saddened by the level of violence in our community. It's a tragic incident (that) I believe is directly related to the gang violence that's plaguing our community and the entire county."
Sgt. Henry Robles said the victim in Thursday's stabbing had contact with law enforcement in the past. Robles couldn't say whether he was affiliated with a gang, but described him as a "high-risk individual."
Solano said the victim lived about five blocks from where he was killed.
Police are looking for four to five males in their late teens, including two Latinos dressed entirely in black, one Latino in a white T-shirt and black jacket, possibly one other Latino and one light-skinned male, possibly white.
Just 24 hours earlier, a 15-year-old Watsonville boy was stabbed several times while walking on Carr Street at East Lake Avenue, Watsonville Sgt. Mike McKinley said.
Around 3:45 p.m., the teenager was approached by five to seven Latino males, about 18- to 20-years-old. The assailants asked the teen what his gang affiliation was and before he could answer, they stabbed him several times in the upper body. They also took his skateboard, hit him on the head with it and then fled with the skateboard.
The teenager walked home to Bockius Street and officers were dispatched there.
The teenager was airlifted to a trauma center for treatment for what originally were believed to be life-threatening injuries but McKinley said late Wednesday the boy's condition had been upgraded.
Police also were investigating a stabbing that occurred Tuesday evening, for which one person is in custody.
Officers were dispatched to 103 E. Beach St. around 7 p.m. for reports of a man suffering stab wounds. When they arrived, they found a 37-year-old man with multiple stab wounds, Cpl. Brian Fulgoni said.
Emergency personnel stabilized the man, who was then transported to a regional trauma center for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
Officers identified Danny Defranco, 57, as the alleged assailant. He was found in his apartment at the same address. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and booked into Santa Cruz County Jail.
A 14-year-old Watsonville High School student who lives near the scene of Thursday's stabbing said violence seemed to be increasing.
"It's really sad that the world is so cruel," she said. "You can't even be outside because you don't know what's going to happen."
Solano said the crackdown on gangs, supported by the Santa Cruz County Law Enforcement Chiefs Association and conducted by the county gang task force, will use information collected in databases to focus on "hot spots" of activity.
Robles urged community members to call police at 831-471-1151 whenever they spot aggressive or criminal activity. Reports can be anonymous, he said.
"It will give us the opportunity to direct patrols to the area right away instead of after the fact," he said.
Watsonville police ask anyone with information on the case to call investigations at 768-3352 or the anonymous tipline at 768-3544.

Jan. 18: Marco Topete, an 18-year-old from Watsonville, was riding a bike in an industrial area on Second Street near Walker Street in Watsonville when he was shot several times, according to police. He died at the scene. Police said Topete was not a gang member but it was a gang-motivated shooting. No one has been arrested.
Feb 9: Pauly Silva, 32, was shot several times outside a bar on the 1000 block of Cedar Street in Santa Cruz about 12:30 a.m. A 1990s Mercedes was spotted leaving the scene and its description was relayed to authorities. Watsonville police stopped the car near South Green Valley Road minutes later and detained two men. A third man was arrested in Santa Cruz. They were held on gang-related charges as police investigated their possible involvement in the shooting, police said. Silva of Santa Cruz was a plumber, a father of two and a martial arts expert. Police say he was not a gang member.
Feb. 15: Marco Ortega, 18, of Watsonville, was shot multiple times in the upper body while attending a girls soccer game at Watsonville High School around 8 p.m. He was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital, where he died. Police say he was not a gang member. No one has been arrested.
Feb. 26: Santa Cruz police officers Sgt. Loran Baker and detective Elizabeth Butler were gunned down by Jeremy Peter Goulet on the 800 block of Branciforte Avenue about 3:30 p.m. Goulet was shot and killed about 30 minutes later after the first shooting on the 100 block of Doyle Street.
Feb. 28: Felipe Reyes, a 20-year-old Watsonville man, was chased by four or five males believed to be in their late teens to an alley off Lincoln Street across from Alvarado Street about 2:40 p.m., and beaten and stabbed to death. The investigation is being treated as a gang-related crime, though gang involvement has not been confirmed.

This tutorial might be of help: http://wiki.envato.com/buying/support-buying/solving-broken-theme-issues/ Buyers often make this mistake.
Thank you for this advice, which worked. Now I know that ThemeForest does this a little differently than many other template vendors, whose product uploads directly from the zip file. One suggestion for the folks at ThemeForest if they're monitoring forums … if buyers do make this mistake often, then perhaps more clarity at the point of purchase would be helpful?
Anyway, thanks for the help!
Karma theme will not install on WordPress 3.31. I purchased the theme today and made four attempts to upload the zipped theme file to the site. Each time it produces a WordPress failure notice with the words "Are you sure you want to to this? Try again." I get the same result each time. I used two different browsers just to be sure the problem wasn't there.
I have uploaded many WP themes in the past, and other themes do install correctly on this site, www.teasilver.com. How can I successfully load the Karma theme?

Automotive Capital Confidence Barometer
Access to capital
To advance their strategic imperatives, automotive companies will take advantage of a continued increase in credit availability.
Over the last twelve months, automotive executives report their access to credit continues to improve, although this has only translated into a modest uptick in debt-to-capital ratios throughout the industry. This disciplined use of leverage ensures that companies are able to access the credit markets as they invest in both organic and inorganic growth initiatives.
Credit availability supports growth
The vast majority (88%) of automotive executives consider access to credit as stable or improving. Furthermore, the sentiment on declining credit availability nearly dropped in half compared to what it was twelve months ago. This confidence – coupled with positive views on the global economy and sound economic fundamentals – sets the stage for a robust dealmaking environment.
Q: Please indicate your level of confidence in credit availability at the global level
Companies carefully manage debt-to-capital ratios
Following the Great Recession, automotive executives have become disciplined in their use of leverage. This discipline is expected to continue over the next twelve months with only 21% of respondents planning to increase their debt-to-capital ratios. Automotive companies with a well-managed capital structure will be able to opportunistically access credit markets as they undertake larger transactions to deliver growth.
Planned use of more debt and equity may signal shift to larger deals
The confidence to use more debt and equity to finance deals – even if that shift is modest – represents a move away from risk aversion and smaller, cash-based transactions. A willingness to use more leverage may also highlight increasing valuations and possibly larger deals to address growth mandates, while also signaling a return to a more active M&A environment.

A combined ESRI UC and ESRI EDUC panel session was officially titled The Role of GIS in Enhancing Education. It got redefined a bit to examine geocareers. No matter the panel had plenty to say, as did the audience, a mix of educators and industry GIS users. ESRI's Governor Jim Geringer moderated.
Each of four panel addressed the topic.
Sara Hall, of the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) started off. She noted that indications such as graduations rates and proficiency tests suggested there's a long way to go to educate students successfully. Technology, she feels strongly, can help make learning more relevant. She noted her young son navigated a trip from Maryland to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with her iPhone, not realizing he was learning, but utterly involved in a relevant task. Schools are not providing that sort of relevance, so students tune out or act up. As she put it, "Students 'power down' for school, 'power back up after they leave.'"
My colleague, Joe Francica, of Directions Media titled his remarks with a reference to a "Lost Generation in Geospatial." He identified what he considers key problems that limit geocareers. They include:
- spatial illiteracy
- Limited student knowledge of possible geocareers
- Challenge of deciding between domain expertise and geo skills when both rare typically needed
- Certification and GISP as a "calling card"
- The challenge for students to still "sell" geo to employers
Ken Yanow, who started the GIS program at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA reported on his fears about starting the program and how things have turned out. His fears about starting a new GIS program included: (1) Would students take the geo courses? Geo is pervasive in their lives, but they don't know what it is. (2) Will they get hired? Could he get them an internship? Those fears were unfounded. Students took the courses and internships were found. He noted that the requirements for may jobs have dropped to AA or certification from past requirements for a BA or MA/MS.
He also raised the concern of geospatial science/geography turning from an academic subject to technical training. He reports that he wants his students to have both: "Geospatial reasoning needs to be part of a GIS training program." In reality, he notes, the jury is still out on that, in part because the explosive growth in the field has not left time/resources to consider its importance in many programs.
David DiBiase of Penn State challenged the attendees with a simple statement: Geospatial is not a big industry. He ran some estimated numbers for the U.S.: Surveyors: 60,000 photogrammetrists: 20,000, GIS "professionals": 75,000 (4500 GISPs). Compare the total (about 175,000) to the 450,000 computer programmers in US!
That size means that the 1200 grads of Penn States GIS programs (now 10 years old) are "struggling to find a job or find a better job."
On the other hand, DiBiase reports, 87% of employers are having trouble finding the right employees! Are they not out there? Or perhaps their expectations are not in line with those coming out of school. The real question then, to educators, is:
How do they improve the satisfaction of employers with pool of employees?
What are the reasons for the current "mismatch?"
Per DiBiase there is an underestimation of 2 year GIS programs to produce employees. Those programs do great work and excel at service learning/project based learning, just the sort of experience employers need.
There's a distinction between academic and professional programs. The former is aimed at enhancing state of knowledge in a subject and the latter to apply the state of knowledge. 80% of advanced degrees are professional degrees: engineers, doctor, lawyers, landscape architects. In geography/GIS most are academic.
The real problem, summarized DiBiase: "We don't understand ourselves."
Those in attendance raised some interesting points/questions including:
You could substitute economics where DiBiase talked about GIS. There is most certainly a need for people at different levels of training in the workforce.
Dawn Wright of Oregon State note that in her school geography was seen as too professional and academic enough.
Geringer noted that Duane Nellis, when he was at Kansas State suggested every student take GIS. Yanow noted that at his school many students take spatial thinking simply because it fulfills a general education requirement.
One industry person (not an academic) noted how GIS "needs to be in fabric of our society, absorb into kids."
Each panelist was asked for a final thought/advice/suggestion:
Southwest serves both those who want to be geospatial professionals and those who will simply use the tool within an area of specialization. Literacy, especially for the young, is paramount if we to be successful educators.
Geography is a great academic discipline. GIS makes great careers.
Directions Media receives 30-40 press release per day related to geospatial technology. That makes him think its growing.
GIS is not alone. It's in the same boat with computer science. GIS educators should take advantage of stimulus grants for education (Enhancing Education Through Technology) and use them to put GIS technology into schools.

E-40 Cutlass Lyrics[Hook: x2]
My paint be drippin' wet I'm clean as Clorox
And you can hear my beat for like 3 or 4 blocks
And when I hit the corner all the girls gone be jockin my Cutlass, Cutlass
[Verse 1: E-40]
The roof of my roof's bald headed convertible top
What use is a old school if it ain't a drop
I got a zap of rock and a 5th of Ciroc
Teflon burner glove don't get molly-wopped
She liking on me she loving what she see
A big nigga with style S.W.A.G.
Every since a child had G.A.M.E.
Backwards ass smile bet not fuck with me
Electric dash electric glass electric everything
Highly carbureted dual exhaust camillion booger green
Fresh back from the car wash fresh back from a bathe
When the sun hits my paint it turns a different shade
I ain't got time to be bullshittin' I got money on my agenda
I've been gettin bread since I came out of the placenta
Sevas in the summer time rallies in the winter
Side wood light skin big booty tender
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: B-Legit]
I keep them bands on deck my mans on a jet
Some soft up on the block in a duce cutty drop
I remember when I copped back in '88
I set em on some straights filled the trunk with fosgates
And since I'm movin weight you know I couldn't wait
Brought that motor out the crate then I taught it how to skate
We turnin figure eights half and whole cakes
We take em on a chase We ain't tryin to take the case
Bitches know I'm fly got that vocal tone
And when they see me they be askin what I'm smokin on
I tell em cookies bitch you know I got that provolone
And you can call me on the under on my iPhone
You see me insides you know I keeps it stocked
And when I leave the block everybody stop and watch
You never know you might catch a sideshow
I lay that top back down and then I drive slow
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Richie Rich]
Bitch this ain't my Bentley this my seven duce
TV deg W sevens press that big ole zeus
Matter fact I got a pair of those for dummies that means 2
My shit is clean as fuck but when I brought it it was through
I took it off the frame bitch this not a game
Got motor new suspension brand new everythang
Candy orange outside guts cocaine
Rims hella chromey see my face and my chain
New shoes on it 22's homie
And I would leave that bitch at home if I was you homie
Cause I'm a swing it sideways and slap to the trap
Off Patron and a zone with the zap on my lap
Change my flow up fasho but never fuck the dough up
In the city where prices go down but never go up
Niggas see the Cutlass and they know it's the double
Flossin on that ass and you know you in trouble
[Hook x2]
