Discussion in 'Star Trek Movies: Kelvin Universe' started by Nerys Myk, Feb 24, 2012.
Yeah, its a bit early, but why wait?
^Yep... way too early.
Sure. What the hey.
Cumberbatch: "Get me my agent. I was promised Khan I tell ya.
Quinto: "Tough. You're now playing an uncredited unconscious cadet."
Well. I was referring to the fact the current contest wasn't over yet, but that works too.
Well, I was referring to the fact that your title claimed to be the next caption contest, but it is not.
Create an interesting title and I'll play along. Claim to be the next contest and I'll pass.
Just sayin'.
Oh its the next contest. You can trust me on that.
Sure looks official. Says "#37" on it, and everything!
M'Sharak: So this is the new Caption Contest thread, is it?
Nerys Myk: Yup, this is it!
M'Sharak: Okay. Guess I'd better PIN it, then.
Villain: Sorry mate, but that pinch thing only works in the prime universe.
Villain: In hindsight sure, I should have warned you this planet has a featureless green sky.
Quinto: "First Sherlock, then this movie, now The Hobbit? I'm sorry, I have to stop you before it's too late."
[He neck pinches Cumberbatch.]
Cumberbatch: "NO!!! Rule over the nerds is mine!! Miiiiiine...."
[He passes out]
Villain: "Look out! There's a giant space monster behind you!"
Uhura: "Like I'm falling for that."
Villain: "It's true, just look behind you once they put it in post."
QUINTO: There. My mom taught me that whenever I have a Charlie Horse of the neck muscles.
Feel better now?
ZOE: This isn't reality.
This is GREENSCREEN. You wanted adventure? The old adrenaline going?
Good. Now get back in your trailer until J.J. calls your dumb ass.
Cameron: "Ahh man, my dad's gonna kill me."
Cumberbatch: Nice belt, Quinto.
Quinto: Nice cumberbun, Cumberbatch.
SPOCK: CALM DOWN!!! Or you will not be opening any of your presents on Christmas Eve like your mother and I originally planned!!
"Uh-oh, someone's coming this way, and she looks really unhappy. Maybe you'd better hide."
"Where is that Spock? I know he was here."
"Just left, actually. He went... that way!"
"Whew, that was close!"
"Rather. You owe me one. Now... where were we, any— OW!"
UHURA: Alright, bucko.
Get on your knees. I want to see you do one hundred Marine-style pushups...now. Or else I blast your ass into the next sector, you got me?
Zach don't want...anybody else...
when he thinks about you he touches someone else...
Uhura: What the hell did you just do to my boyfriend?
ZOE: Reichenbach Fall, how did you survive?
CUMBERBATCH: What????
ZOE: Wrong answer!

motoyen had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit116 ontwerpen ingezonden door40 freelance designers.
I am launching an automotive related travel blog. Over the next year I will be visiting various manufactures, tuning shops, racetracks, etc around Europe and will be documenting my trip on my blog.
The logo should be recognizable as automotive related but I would prefer it not to have an actual car in the logo. For example take a look at the Top Gear and Fifth Gear logo. I also like the logos from Winding Road and Fast Lane Daily.
Please stay away from American car design styles, i.e. anything that would suggest muscle cars. I want the logo to reflect a European influence. The target audience is luxury car owners so the logo should appeal to that market.
I'm a fan of minimalist design.

Hide and seek
I have the First day of school tomorrow as when we moved in it was a Friday and managed to persuade my mom and dad that it would be a good idea to start my new school on Monday instead of going to school like a complete weirdo the last day before the weekend, when all the kids are all hyped up for the weekend and sometimes actually most of the time in my previous school experience this made them a little more cruel to anybody new in school.
It was getting dark and the eerie feeling i was trying to explain earlier was getting a little to strong for my liking although spending a lot of time on my own didnt bother me but knowing something was watching me bothered me a lot more than usual.
I was walking back to the dark building i now should call home although homey it didnt look getting a little faster every step i took until i broke into what you would probably call a jog. I didnt know what i was freaking out over but if i usually freak out its normally for a good reason, my dad calls it my gut but i think its my sixth sense in a round about way.
I suppose it was my fault really as i wasn't looking where i was going but also being very clumsy something stupid had to happen sooner rather than later, i fell and by 'fell' i mean fell right to the bottom of his feet . . our apparent next door neighbour which positioned me quite uncomfortably looking up at his crotch probably giving him a very unpleasant view of my top being pushed some where under my arm pits having half my chest out with only my plain black bra on show thinking about it the only one that defiantly found it unpleasant and very embarrassing was clearly me!
'Hi im Ace' i don't think i have ever moved so quickly in my life and painfully, i must of hit a couple of rocks on the way down especially my leg that felt like the most painful thing in the world at the time and just above my eye near my eyebrow too as it was pretty numb.
'that was a fall and a half, are you ok? your umm' and then he touched his own eye and continued ' your um bleeding!'
After i had covered myself back up and had started walking back to the house with the help of Ace we were greeted by my mother and what i guess was Ace's mother hysterically running around thinking i was dying or something, 'its just a cut above my eye mom stop freaking out' 'and plus head wounds always bleed more' Ace added ,followed by a rather disgusted look by my mother.
It was going to be a family affair to as my dad decided to come into the kitchen which is where Ace had let go of me and i had propped myself up against one of the 4 wooden chairs, ' what have you done now Bex? i think your clumsiness comes from my side of the family i was always having accidents like you, although never quite as bad as you have them, you sure your ok kid?, yes dad im fine, mom im fine, everyone im fine, thank you Ace for helping me back to the house if anyone wants me im going to be in my room i need a lie down ok?'well Bex we invited Ace and his mother over for dinner this evening, i thought Ace could tell you everything they have been learning in school and get you up to date with what's happening and plus i thought i would be nice for you to know at least one person on your first day at school tomorrow'.
Okay, i cant get out of this one and plus from what i have seen of this Ace he seemed to be really nice so i should be sociable really and try not to act like a complete weirdo in front of strangers in my house in a town i didnt know and one of the strangers was going to be someone i have to go to school with and that was one rule i always had i never judged anyone and in return no one as long as i stayed away from the 'popular kids' would judge me!
'Why don't you take Ace on a tour of the house Bex, but clean your eye up a little first if your not going to let me or your father do it please, you look like something out of a horror movie!'
Thanks for that mom, at this point i wasn't too bothered that my mom and just said in front of everyone that i looked like something from a horror movie especially falling underneath my next door neighbours crotch virtually naked on my top half.
So off we went, my room was a little walk away from the kitchen and it felt a lot further away when it hurt to walk, and only looking through one eye, ' give you a game of hide a seek?' i think i stood still for a few seconds and thought to myself hide and seek . . .great a mentally retarded neighbour, before replying 'no thanks, im a bit big for that' to which he replied ' scared your going to loose?' hmmm if he was going to be like that then just to show him that im not your average girl that doesn't like to get a little dust on her and squeeze into some strange place in the Dark ugly house then it was game on!

Luca: Bored and aloneMature
I feel Gemme's arms slide off me and the bed lifts a little as she gets up, but I don't open my eyes or say anything.
When she doesn't come back, I roll onto my back and sigh, opening my eyes, staring at the ceiling.
I hadn't wanted to break down the way I had earlier. I still feel weird about it. And now Gemme can't even lie next to me; I know I've confused her.
But I don't know how to stop confusing her.
Sorry, Gemme. I know you hate me apologising, but I'm sorry.
I still stuttered when I said the L word, too. Dunno how to stop that, either. Or the cravings. They keep nagging at me and though physically I can stop myself wanting them, my mind still goes numb with the need.
My bag floats over to me, dropping onto my stomach. It shudders and spits a small plastic bag of heroin out onto the sheets towards me and a needle. I sit up and push them aside, pulling my knees up to my chest again. But the drugs shuffle into view again. So I shut my eyes and try to forget they're there.
The needle taps me on the arm, its plastic wrapper rustling as it tries to push into me. I swat it away and get up. It's only one in the morning. This is ridiculous.
I end up downstairs, in the kitchen, sitting on the counter. One of the beers left over from the other night in one hand, a cigarette in the other.
The cigarette burns down to the butt and I barely notice as the ash falls onto my leg. Gemme's confused? I'm confused. And with Gemme gone AWOL, my mind is raging again. The needle and heroin are on the counter opposite me. If drugs can stare at you, then the bag and the needle are definitely staring at me.
With a sigh, I throw my beer into the sink and slide off the counter, jogging up the stairs two at a time. I get dressed, not caring what I put on - in the end I put the black skinny jeans and the white top with blood on it on - and leave the house. I don't pick up a key, I don't need one. I just lock the door with telekinesis and let my feet guide me to Izzy's place.
You might think it's a stupid place to go when you're craving drugs already. And you're probably right, to be honest. But I won't be alone, at least, and I'll have something else to think about.
Izzy opens her door for me after I've been stood there knocking on it for about five minutes.
"God, you're persistent," she says, walking into the living room. I follow her in, closing the front door behind me and sit in the armchair I sat in before. She has a couple of guys over. They're both high, but Izzy in business mode.
"Yeah, I've heard that one before," I mutter, watching the guys burst into a fit of giggles over nothing.
"So what brought you here at this time of night?" she asks, following my gaze.
"Girlfriend went AWOL and I got bored," I shrug, skimming over... pretty much everything. Including the whole complicated thing about Gemme. She might as well be my girlfriend the way we act most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't feel like it. Mind you, it's better to say I'm taken, than let Izzy get her claws in me. She strikes me as the type to not let go.
"Ooh, I didn't know you were taken," her gaze flickers to me and a sly smile pulls on her lips, "you have blood on you," she tells me, still smiling. I look down, and then back at her.
"Yeah, I do. Well done there."
"Been a bad boy?" she winks and I roll my eyes.
"Very," I tell her coldly. The playful light in her eyes dies almost instantly at my tone of voice and she raises an eyebrow.
"It's not her blood is it? Your girlfriend's?" She asks with her eyes wide. I don't say anything for a moment, then shake my head. Izzy lets out a small sigh of relief. She opens her mouth to talk again, but I cut her off.
"All those things you heard about me, Izzy. You gave me a relatively small list. Was that all you heard? I mean, did you hear things about me you'd rather not remember, or do I just look like I go beating up girls every day?" I light a cigarette, my gaze colder than my voice. "You can't have jumped to the conclusion it was hers so quickly otherwise," I catch her eye and hold the gaze, but she looks away from me after a second.
"Cancer," she says warningly, but quietly, trying not to get the attention of the guys still giggling on the floor at each other. I smile, but there's no warmth to the expression.
"Yes?" I ask lightly.
"I don't want to talk about it. You must have come here for a reason other than boredom or to... to extract an answer from me somehow." Her choice of words seems weird to me and I sit forward looking at her through the haze of smoke.
"Extract? Funny word to use. What were you gonna say instead?" She meets my eyes again and this time holds the stare. Her own eyes turn angry and she snaps at me to stop.
"Does it fucking matter? You're in my apartment, so don't you be trying to interrogate me. If anything I should be asking you the questions, not the other way around." I smile again and take a long drag on my cigarette, resting my elbows on my knees.
"I told you, I'm bored. I get aggressive when I'm bored." She nods and looks at me warily, folding her arms across her chest. I don't need to hurt her - the defensive body language and the reaction I got from her are enough. Enough to tell me she won't be hard to bully into doing whatever I want. Whatever that'll be. It doesn't take me long to figure out what I want for now.
"Fuck it. Where's the heroin?" I ask after a moment.

Home > Fitness > Genes Controlled by Diet and Exercise
Genes Controlled by Diet and Exercise
Fitness for mind and body.
The PROP Gene
The PROP gene - more formally, 6-n-propylthiouracil - determines the sensitivity of our taste buds. People who have high amounts of this gene are "super-tasters" while people with low amounts are "non-tasters". Both categories have their advantages and disadvantages regarding weight loss.
For example, super-tasters may eschew some foods as being too greasy or sweet but also shun broccoli or cabbage because they taste particularly bitter to them. Non-tasters do not have these aversions to these vegetables, or high-sugar and high-fat foods. "Tasters" are somewhere in between.
Some experts suggest super-tasters eat less bitter vegetables such as Carrots, or make the bitter vegetable less so by squeezing lemon juice on them. Non-tasters just need to be aware and exert control.
Leptin is a hormone that releases from your fat cells after a meal stimulated by glucose from the food. Leptin travels to receptors in your brain, inducing satiety. Thus, low-calorie diets decrease leptin, and make you feel extremely hungry. Those on vegetarian diets do not tend to feel overly hungry because they claim one can eat so much on a vegetarian diet.
Could Your Genes be the Fault of Your Sweet Tooth?
If you have a tough time controlling your sweet tooth, University of Toronto researchers think they know why. In a study, people with a genetic quirk drank 44 percent more sugary drinks, ate 34 percent more sweets, and consumed 100 to 200 more calories a day from the extra sugar. Not surprisingly, these people weighed more and had bigger waists. The gene variation may make it hard for the body to sense blood sugar changes, so your brain doesn't get the signal to stop eating. A good remedy? None, so far. But try carefully counting your overall calorie intake so you have room for an occasional slice of heaven.
LPL (lipoprotein lipase) is an enzyme that sits on the outside of your fat cells. LPL grabs post-meal fat from your blood and stores it in your fat cells. When you eat a lot of fat, it helps you store more of it in your body. You can decrease LPL expression with exercise.
Insulin is necessary to shuttle glucose into the cells of the body after a meal. In the liver and muscles, glucose forms into glycogen -- a storage form of energy. Forming glycogen causes our cells to release calories . This is coined the thermic effect of food, or TEF. The TEF is high for most carbohydrates and low for fatty foods. Thus, high-fat diets result in less calories burned.
Furthermore, chronic consumption of a high-fat diet will impair insulin function and result in high blood glucose. This "tricks" the body into releasing more insulin -- a futile effect. Adding insult to injury, high insulin levels will shut down the fat-burning machinery. Low fat, high-fiber diet can improve insulin function.
Muscle Cell Type
People have two types of muscle cells: Type I, and Type II. People have different proportions of each, according to their genetic type. The Type I muscle-cell has a good blood supply and plenty of LPL. This is good, because muscles cannot store fat -- they can only use it for energy. Thus, individuals with more Type I cell usually demonstrate more endurance during athletics. Unfortunately, you cannot change your muscle cell types. Regular exercise will increase circulation to every muscle cell, thus making Type II cells more like Type I's.

Yep, Iowa State is picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 this season. But I totally disagree. I think the Cyclones have a great shot at overtaking West Virginia for eighth.
A little bit about me....
I've been Sports Director at News/Talk 1430 KASI since December 2005. I graduated from Iowa State just a few months before that. My career has also taken me to such exotic locals as Estherville, and Storm Lake, Iowa, Owatonna, Minnesota, and Silver City, New Mexico (long story-don't ask). I've also had the pleasure of working part-time at WOI Radio in Ames and WHO Radio in Des Moines while I was a student.
I'm a native of Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. It was there that I was inflicted with the curse of being a Minnesota Vikings fan. There is still no known cure, though many times I wish there was. I'm also an avid follower of the Minnesota Twins and of course, the Iowa State Cyclones.

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the conspiracy trial of a blind Muslim cleric and 11 of his followers that is taking place in New York, have persuaded many Americans that a jihad, or holy war, is being waged on their soil by Islamic extremists. And in the new climate of hatred and fear, the overwhelmingly law-abiding and moderate Arab-American community is more fearful for its safety than at any time in recent memory.
To be an Arab-American or an observant Muslim in America is to live with the constant anxiety of being from one of America's most disliked ethnic and religious groups. Members of these communities are regularly stereotyped by Hollywood and the media as terrorists or fundamentalist fanatics, and their most innocent activities, such as attending the mosque, are open to misinterpretation. An Arab-American research firm recently found in an opinion poll that Muslims were the most disliked ethnic community in America. Parents tell of how their children are already called terrorists and killers at school and how schoolbooks invariably portray Arabs in a negative light.
Many Americans reserve a special animosity for Muslims, Arabs and Iranians since the humiliation of the embassy hostage-taking episode in Iran in 1979. With every subsequent terrorist outrage directed against American interests,, Arab-Americans - or "rag-heads" as they are derisively known - have borne the brunt of popular outrage.
Many Arab-Americans have been in the US for more than three generations; the largest concentration of those of Arab descent being in Detroit. Many Palestinians have settled in California and New York, where they have found themselves living cheek by jowl with Jewish Americans. Islam is also flourishing: mosques are sprouting up all over the country, and many moderate Muslims have become as politically active and assertive as their counterparts in the American-Jewish community.
But it is the activities of the extremist fringe of Arab-Americans and immigrant Muslim fanatics that are now absorbing the attention of the FBI and police. There is credible evidence that the US is now a fertile environment for fund-raising by militant Islamic groups. Much as the IRA used Irish-American sympathisers to raise money and guns before last year's ceasefire, Islamic fundamentalists are raising cash and producing propaganda videos extolling worldwide jihad. They are also alleged to have built up an underground political organisation dedicated to urban terrorism in America.
Cells of Islamic extremists are known to be in place across America, and the militants have developed an elaborate recruiting network in more than 38 American cities. A documentary broadcast on America's Public Broadcasting System (the equivalent of the BBC) last November showed video footage of Muslim clerics and leaders making blood-curdling speeches in American mosques and meeting rooms. The footage included an Islamic leader addressing a meeting in Oklahoma City in 1989 and went on to allege links between speakers at the meetings and the 12 being tried for plotting to bomb large parts of lower Manhattan and the United Nations.
Stephen Emerson, the journalist on the PBS documentary, traces the origin of the Islamic militant networks to the $3bn (£1.9bn) that the US spent backing mujahedin rebels in Afghanistan nearly 15 years ago. His programme identified a key figure as Abdullah Azzam and produced video footage of him preaching holy war to an Oklahoma City audience. At another meeting, in Brooklyn, described as one of the first jihad conferences, he said: "There is no turning back from the stone to the pistol to the Uzi to the cannon to the rocket-propelled grenade and then you can expect Allah's ultimate victory."
Mr Emerson is not without his critics in the US, however: he has been branded as biased and anti-Palestinian in the past. Vince Cannistraro, the former anti-terrorism chief of the CIA, said last night that it misses the point of terrorism to suggest that there was "a fundamentalist hiding under every Arab-American bed" and that "Emerson is wide of the mark."
The hunt for someone to blame for the outrage is at fever pitch, however, and there is a real danger that an entire community will be branded for the actions of a core of dedicated terrorists - as happened in Britain, where the Irish community bore the brunt of public and official anger for IRA bombings in Birmingham and elsewhere.

Specializing in Residential and Vacation Properties, Above and Beyond Property Management is your one stop shop whether renting with us or managing your property. From leasing and maintenance to construction and sales; there isn't a whole lot we aren't capable of helping you with.
We are dedicated to providing service. We are not only ready to assist both tenants and property owners with their housing needs, but we are here promising a friendly and professional relationship with each and every one of you.
This home was perfectly appointed for our extremely diverse clan, private space for every one! We really enjoyed the location, and how CLEAN it was! Thank you for having us here. This is where we would love to stay again! Everyone from the youngest babies (3 month old twins) to the eldest grandfather truly enjoyed this house! Our 5 year old enjoyed the park, our musician made use of the upstairs bonus room for practicing, and our chef's made great use of the beautifully appointed kitchen! Thanks again!
This house was perfect for our extended family. I chose it because it has real beds for 10 without any of us having to sleep in bunk beds or sleep sofas, but discovered so many other great features. The location is perfect, the dining table is ample for all of us to eat and play games together, there are three gathering spaces for separate activities, and everything is beautifully done. Our favorite space was the room over the garage where the early risers or late night TV watchers could gather without concern that their noise would disturb others. I personally loved the walking trail across the street, which extends around a pretty pond and makes for a great daily walk. I highly recommend this home for any groups that don't need more than one bedroom on the main floor (four of the bedrooms are upstairs). We were pleasantly surprised by the features of this beautiful house and don't believe we could have chosen better.
We stayed at Two Bear Lair from June 20 – 25, 2015. This beautiful log home has a wonderful location and a great layout. We enjoyed our stay – the inviting back patio was a quiet place to view the large yard and enjoy the grill. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-appointed.
There were some unusual requests by the renting firm:
*use only the side door – not the front or back doors
*take shoes off – don't wear them in the house
*leave suitcases in the car or the garage – don't bring them in the house
Before our arrival, we paid a security fee of $500 and upon leaving, we completed the check sheet of activities in the provided three-ring binder thinking we would get our whole deposit refunded. We cleaned the kitchen, stripped the beds, took out the garbage,…but was still charged $150 (after negotiating, they refunded $50.00 more) for the usual and normal cleaning that is done after renters leave. We asked what was done and the activities were dusting, vacuuming, washing the sheets and remaking the beds. The contract we signed did say we would be charged for cleaning the home. We assumed that if we completed the list provided in their three-ring binder, that we would get the security fee refunded. Know that if you rent this beautiful home, you will be charged for cleaning it when you leave. This is not considered part of the rental fee – it is in addition to it. This is like being charged for the maids cleaning your motel room after you leave it. This is a confusing practice. Why is the cleaning fee not just included in the rental charges?
We stayed in this house for 6 days and we had a great time! Everyone at Above & Beyond Rentals was so helpful for out total stay. We will be back and we will contact them again. Thanks for such a wonderful time.
Exceeded expectations which were high. Perfect space for large multi-generational gathering for family of 9 with bedrooms on first and second floor and separate bathrooms. Great big kitchen allowed us to gather for meals and enjoy some home cooking. Nice park out the front door to take a walk. Quiet location. Plenty of street parking for all of us who drove in. Highly recommended and well worth it.
We really enjoyed being able to stay at the cabin home. We had plenty of room and enjoyed our time there as well as our time out exploring. We found it was in a great location for going in any direction or to get to any destination we chose. It was very comfortable and cozy too. We will be sure to go right back there next year.
Thanks for a great place to stay.
Great rental property for families - good central location. The house is well equipped and clean. The rental company was easy to work with and get a hold of. Highly recommend!

Goggle Help Please
I'm looking at getting a new pair of goggles but don't have the money to buy anything to expensive. I'm looking at anon helix right now but would like some feedback. Is there much of a difference between those and the figment? Are there any suggestions for a similar price range goggle? Thanks for the help.
Just two quick questions that may help with the decisionmaking process... how big is your head, and are you asian?
Figured I should ask that because the goggles always tailor to a certain size face, and being asian, I've had issues with a gap over the nose on some goggles.

unfortunately, i've never heard of bargain bindings (like any of the bindings that shops sell out of the locked cases) that don't fog. if you possibly can, get the figments. my buddy has been riding since before bear and mammoth allowed snowboarders. he has said over and over that anons are the best goggles, he creatively puts it "anons are like sex for your face"
1 Attachment(s)
By "bindings" you mean goggles eh? Kewl SS avatar btw...
My head is normal size and I'm not Asian. I've also heard good things about anon so I thought I'd look into them. Thanks.
I also will be doing a lot of night riding, what lens color will be best?
I prefer a clear lense for night, but not everyone does. I do believe some people like yellow for night
8 Attachment(s)
yeah, i ment goggles, my bad.
and for something that you can ride in day and night, try for a polarized yellow mirror frame. wont cut out as much light as an amber or other color, but with the polarized and mirror it will cut glare during the day.
Man, I thought this thread was called "Google Help Please" and I was thinking "Oh, shit! I bet this is gonna be funny!" So I clicked on it.
Yeah. I can read.
well for lens i like the orange looking one
and for night i have the yellow ones
and for day i just put the orange on and when on the ski life or in the lines i just change the lens i just keep the extra in my coat pocket it makes it easier that way

Intoxicated thoughts
An extract of my piece.
This dejection, it engulfs me and all i can feel is this perennial sensation of numbness. Like all of the elements of my body have been physically wrung out. I breathe nothing but an atmosphere of sorrow, i am feeble, my mind is perpetually cold. My melancholy is the pure pleasure of being sad, i cannot possibly reconstruct the tattered remains of my distorted consciousness. Eternally broken. My impending departure from this callous spherical world.

It´s now a year since Tom gave up his day job and took up the music full-time. 12 months ago he removed his cape, stepped out of the charming and convincing Web Design manager alter-ego, bought a £20 Argos coffee filter, bean grinder and multi packs of Rizla; and has spent every week day since hunched over his synths in the studio filling up ashtrays at a rate of nots. It´s not been a bad year either, from his 2 stand-out tracks Rivalry with Irony and Slip Slop Slap hitting monthly top 10 and top 30 respectively on Resident Advisor, a healthy year of gigging, taking his Live show to Fabric, Space - Ibiza, Mulletover, Freerotation and many other places in between (collecting a fine selection of club toilet photos along the way), being remixed by Soulphiction, Luke Solomon, Jamie Jones, Wolf and Lamb, Dave Aju etc...to completing his first Live compilation album (released early next year).
Having packed his boxes and swapped the rolling hills of Wales to move back to the red-brick terrace familiarity of his beloved Manchester. There´s no more inspirational beach walks, now its Netto to grab some milk and get down to it.
From early back-bent sessions in a friends garage (containing a few rusty boxes and a four-track), Tom went on to study music technology at Salford University, exchanging most of his studying time for studio time along with persistently pestering the Orbit residents at the legendary Eastern Bloc records and promoting club nights. Since then he has developed his own characteristic sound, based on a philosophy of creating music with bollocks for the dance-floor but carrying enough ´essence´ to be enjoyed in the home.

2011 has already shaped up to be a good year for Tom with more releases lined up for Murmur, Liebe Detail, Hypercolour (plus a few very special things will be announced soon), the No Fit State compilation with Murmur and the launch of the new techno project - ´Dense´ with good friend Glimpse.
Keep your ears peeled for Demac´s ´uniquely kinked grooves´ over the coming months...

Phoenix Business Journal: Ten Tips For Creating The Perfect Employee Handbook
An article by Shayna Balch was featured in the Phoenix Business Journal on December 17, 2013.
She offered ten tips for creating the perfect employee handbook.
1. Stay current
If your human resources team hasn't revised the company handbook in several years, it's probably time to dust it off and make some updates. Labor and employment laws change on a regular basis, so make sure your handbook reflects updated laws, any recent workforce growth that may subject your company to additional laws and regulations, and your company's most current policies and culture guidelines.
2. Make everything crystal clear
Government agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board, are specifically looking at employee handbooks for policy violations. Avoid vague, ambiguous and unclear terms, but beware of bright-line rules that limit your ability to make individualized assessments.

Right now, the world's poorest people do not have access to safe water, sanitation or hygiene. This crisis is ruining lives and holding back development.
Over 650 million people live without safe water.
2.4 billion people don't have access to adequate sanitation, one in three of the world's population.
Around 315,000 children under-five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That's almost 900 children per day.
Without safe water or sanitation, people are trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease. We tackle the crisis from all angles, working with local partners to deliver services, influencing decision-makers to make change happen and generating incredible support across the world.
This video has captions for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The 'Captions' button on the bottom of the player turns them on and off.
Clean drinking water, proper toilets and good hygiene are essential, yet millions of people don't have access to these basic services.
Across the world, women are forced to waste precious time walking long distances to collect dirty water. Girls are dropping out of school because there are no private toilets, and young children are not surviving to see their fifth birthday because of preventable diseases.

UPDATE 2-Boeing mulls new 737 jet variant, airlines interested
(Recasts to confirm that Boeing is considering new design; adds detail)
By Alwyn Scott and Jeffrey Dastin
April 21 (Reuters) - Boeing Co is studying whether to revise one version of its best-selling 737 aircraft in a bid to fend off competition, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. planemaker's concept of a slightly larger version of its 737 MAX 7 jet with more seats and range drew airline interest on Thursday.
The plans are preliminary, without many specifics, the sources said. But Boeing has a product study underway to determine if such a jet would make sense, they added.
The plane could perk up relatively slow sales for the 737 MAX 7 and help Boeing's market share battle with Airbus Group SE , which has outsold it with its competing A320 jet.
Boeing's tweaked 737 also would help fight back competition from Bombardier Inc's fledgling CSeries aircraft, which appears poised to win a large order from Delta Air Lines Inc.
Chicago-based Boeing declined to comment on the plan, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Boeing needs to win support for the proposed plane from Southwest Airlines, which has ordered the smallest model 737s, as well as United Continental Holdings Inc, the Journal reported. Continued...

Angels owner buys Spanish-language radio station
LOS ANGELES -- An investment partnership led by Angels baseball team owner Arte Moreno announced Saturday that it has agreed to buy the nation's largest Spanish-language AM radio station.
The investors will buy Radio 830 KMXE for an undisclosed sum.
The group will "start running the station immediately" while awaiting approval of the deal from the Federal Communications Commission, said investor spokeswoman Debbie Mitchell.
Messages left for the station and its current owner, Radiovisa LLC, were not immediately returned Saturday.
Moreno bought the Angels in 2003, becoming the first Hispanic majority owner of a Major League Baseball team.
KMXE, a 50,000-watt station based in the San Fernando Valley, provides 24-hour news, talk and sports programming that includes live coverage of USC football, NASCAR and the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team.
The new owners will add Angels games and other sports in both Spanish and English to reach the Hispanic market, said Angels President Dennis Kuhl, another partner in the acquisition.
"It will also provide an opportunity for advertisers to reach an audience with a buying power of more than $105 billion," Kuhl said in a statement.

Development of Sulfur Tolerant Materials for the Hydrogen Sulfide Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
Aguilar, Luis Felipe
MetadataShow full item record
One of the major technical challenges towards a viable H2S//Air SOFC is to identify and develop anode materials that are electronically conductive, chemically and electrochemically stable, and catalytically active when exposed to H2S-rich environments. The corrosive nature of H2S renders most traditional state-of-the-art SOFC anode materials (Ni, Pt, Ag) useless for long-term cell performance even at very low sulfur concentrations. In my doctoral thesis work, a new class of perovskite-based anodes was developed for potential use in SOFCs operating with H2S and sulfur-containing fuels. Cermets from this family of materials have shown excellent chemical stability and electrochemical performance at typical SOFC operating conditions. As an added benefit, they appear to preferentially oxidize H2S over hydrogen, as suggested by open circuit voltage, impedance spectra, and cell performance measurements obtained using various H2S-H2-N2 fuel mixtures. Cell power output values were among the highest reported in the literature and showed no significant deterioration during 48-hour testing periods. Impedance measurements indicated overall cell resistances decreased with increasing temperature and H2S content of the fuel. This behavior is starkly different from that of contemporary SOFC anodes, where the presence of H2S usually increases overall polarization resistance and ultimately destroys the cell. Results are promising due to the drastic improvement in sulfur tolerance compared to the current generation of SOFC power systems.

text: BIT275 Lecture 2: Supplemental Material The following material is recommended (although optional) reading, offered as a supplement to the course material. I will be going over some of these slides in class today, but for upcoming lectures I may only offer the supplementary materials without discussing in class. • Database Design for Mere Mortals: Chapter 1 Summary • Design Objectives • Entities and Attributes 1 • • • • • • Database Design for Mere Mortals (3rd Ed.) Chapter 1 Summary Design Objectives What's the Point? Design Objectives Database Modeling Entities and Attributes Primary Keys & Composite Keys 2 Chapter 1 Summary 3 Database Design for Mere Mortals: Chapter 1 Summary What is a Relational Database? There are two types of databases: operational and analytical. Operational is used in everyday businesses, institutions and organizations. They are primarily used to store data that is collected, maintained and modified (dynamic data). Analytical is used to track historical data (static data). Track trends, view statistical data. Insertion anomalies and redundant data are problems associated with an early database model known as a hierarchical table (parent-child table). Network database (owner-member table) models were problematic as well. Database Design for Mere Mortals: Chapter 1 Summary What is a Relational Database? Dr. E. F. Codd applied mathematical theories known as first order predicate logic and set theory to design relational databases. These theories are the foundation for the Relational Database Model (RDM). They are important because they makes the RDM predictable and reliable. It is not necessary to fully understand these theories to develop a sound database design. In a RDM, data are stored in a relation or table (those terms may be used interchangeably.) Each table contains rows or records, (also called tuples), and columns which represent attributes or fields. Each record or row is represented by a unique field known as the Primary key. The categories of relationships in a RDM are one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. A many-to-many relationship must be broken down into numerous one-to-many relationships. If a pair of tables share a relationship, data can be retrieved based on matching values of a shared field between the tables. Database Design for Mere Mortals: Chapter 1 Summary What is a Relational Database? Data is retrieved by specifying fields and tables using a standard query language known as Structured Query Language (SQL). Most DBMSs (Database Managements Systems) use SQL to build, modify, maintain and manipulate databases. Thorough knowledge of SQL isn't always necessary since most DMBSs use a graphical interface to generate SQL statements and retrieve data. It is good, however, to have basic knowledge of SQL. Large volumes of centrally located shared data have come about in recent history, creating the need for client/server software. Data security and integrity can be implemented through the database server. Design Objectives 7 Design Objectives A logical design of the database is highly important. Wizards that help you create tables are of no real use if the database itself is designed improperly. Accuracy, integrity and consistency of data will be dependent upon a good design. Many problems can arise if there are design flaws, such as inaccurate retrieval of information. Objectives of Good Design: • • • • • Supports required and ad hoc information retrieval Contains efficiently constructed tables Imposes data integrity at the field, table and relationship level Data must provide accurate and valid information that is meaningful to the organization The database structure should be easily modified for possible future growth Advantages of Good Design: • • • • Easy to modify and maintain the structure Easy to modify data Easy retrieval of information Easy to develop and build user applications Design Objectives There are three traditional design methods: • A requirements analysis phase involves examining the business being modeled, interviewing users and management to assess the current system and to analyze future needs and determining information requirements for the business as a whole • A data modeling phase involves modeling the database structure itself by using a method such as entity relationship diagramming (ER diagramming). This provides a means of visually representing various aspects of the database structure, such as the tables, table relationships and relationship characteristics. • The normalization phase is the process of decomposing large tables into smaller tables in order to eliminate redundant data, duplicate data and avoid problems with inserting, modifying or deleting data. Table structures are tested against normal forms, which are a specific set of rules that can be used to test a table structure to be sure it is sound and free of problems. These normal forms are: First through Fifth Normal Forms, Boyce-Codd Normal Form and Domain/Key Normal Form. NOTE: We will be discussing NORMALIZATION a bit later in the course Introduction to Database Modeling Time to see how to design or model a relational database, and this is regardless of which relational database management system you're going to use to do it. We're developing the formal description of our database, what's called the database schema, our tables, our columns, our primary keys in relationships. If you want a foolproof method of building a terrible database, it's to jump directly into the Database Management System software, whatever that is, and just start building something. That's a really bad idea. Planning is vital, because while in other areas of development, mobile programming, desktop, web development, I'm a big fan of agile, incremental, iterative approach. Building something quickly, getting it out, revising it, adding new features over weeks or even days, that's not what I want to do with databases. Relational databases reward upfront planning, because the entire point is to impose rules and constraints and structure on your data. We don't want to have one set of rules one week and a different set of rules next week. I once heard the comment that building a database is like getting tattooed. You really want it to be correct the first time you do it. Changes are possible, but they are painful. Unlike tattooing, some changes may be easier than others. Introduction to Database Modeling The great thing is relational databases aren't new. They've been around since the '70s. So you're coming in at a time when the methods for modeling a database have been battle tested over four decades. We know what works and what doesn't. And to design a good database, a large part of it is just to go through the steps. Now, database modeling is not a place to try and express your inner creativity and find wild and crazy innovative new ways of doing things. If you want to get wild and crazy and innovative, fine, but do it in your user interface, do it in your application, not in your database. In your database schema, you want to be patient, methodical, and step by step. As with other areas of software development, there are specific diagrams associated with planning a database schema. Unlike other areas, you can get super formal with these, but you rarely need to. A few basic lines and shapes are all we'll need. While you can use a diagramming tool like Visio (Windows) or OmniGraffle (Mac) and many of the Database Management System tools—and programming IDEs come with basic database diagram tools as well—you really need to model a database, at least initially, is pencil and paper and be prepared to think for a moment about a few core questions. There are two initial questions you need to ask before even starting your database schema. First, what's the point? What is this database for? And be careful of the first answer that leaps to mind. Sure, in most cases, you're building a database to support an application, whether that's a desktop or mobile or web app. Let's say you're building an online bookstore, well, it's way too easy to say the point of the database is to store product and order information, and think you're done. You description might be true, but what's the intention of this bookstore, whether it's a website or an application? Because wherever you wanted to go over the next year or two or five should affect what you're building right now. So even having an elevated or wordy mission statement as corny as that might sound, will help you build a better database. You're going to build a very different database from that second description than you would from the first one. Now the next question, what do you already have? You might be lucky enough to be building this for a completely new business where nothing has happened yet. Most of the time, there is some existing process, this database is intended to replace or supplement, even if it's a manual one. Entities and Attributes Understanding what you already have is essential before you can answer the first real question when designing a database. What entities do you have? We know that the relational database consists of one or more tables. Tables are the basic building block of a relational database, and you will create separate tables for each entity, that is each object or each thing that needs to be represented in the database. We're trying to identify what entities we naturally have, rather than just directly asking, what tables do I need to go and make? Some of your entities might represent things that exist in the real world, Customer, Product, Employee, a Patient, an Asset, but others could be more abstract, a Blog entry, a Category, a Comment, an Appointment. NOTE: there is some debate about whether to use plural or singular nouns when naming your entities or tables. Is it a Customer entity or a Customer's entity? I'm strongly in preference for singular nouns for tables. After figuring out our first list of what entities need to exist, we need take a look at each one to specify exactly what data is important to store about them. Now officially, in an entity-relationship model (ER), these are referred to as our attributes. And just as entities will become our tables, the attributes we draw it here for each one will become the columns in those tables. Now in sketching out an ER diagram, attributes are often shown like this, and you can be quite informal about writing them. But as you move into actually defining the official columns of the table, you're going to need to become very specific about what they are Entities and Attributes First, as a rule when defining a table, let's say an Employee table, you're going to go very granular, meaning, as individual as possible, so not just one column for name, but separate columns for FirstName and LastName. It is much easier to sort all your employees by surname or find out how many customers you have in a particular city, if you're storing that piece of data independently, rather than if it has to be extracted out of some larger value. Entities and Attributes What should we name these columns? There are a variety of ways that people name the columns in their tables, sometimes using underscores between multiple words, sometimes a lower case using Camel case, Pascal case, this has really more to do with your own naming conventions, than anything a database will enforce on you. As ever, the best idea is simply to have a standard and stick to it. I'll be using Pascal casing in my examples, meaning, I'll upper case each word, and I won't use underscores. Now, some databases do support using spaces in your column names, but I avoid those as they often mean a name has to be enclosed in quotes when referring to it programmatically, and this becomes inconvenient. But this is by no means enough. Entities and Attributes You next have to say what kind of data is going to be stored in each of these columns, really what is the data type for each column? Is it text or character data, or is it numeric? Is it a date, a time, or even binary data like an image, or a piece of audio or video? Data types in a database are absolutely not the same as data types in a programming language. You'll find that most database systems want you to be much more specific about your columns than a programming language wants you to be about your variables, and the Database Management System wants to know these specifics so it can be efficient about storing and indexing them, and so it can enforce your rules. Entities and Attributes For example, if you want to store an integer in one of your columns, you'll find that most Database Management Systems have multiple kinds of integer data type for different sizes of integer. If I look at the online manual for the MySQL Database Management System, I can go into the Numeric Types, and I'll find that just for integer alone… http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/data-types.html Entities and Attributes …we got the regular INT, we've also got TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT and a BIGINT, all different lengths in terms of storage from one to eight bytes, and all different sets of numbers that they can take, whether they're signed (negative number) to unsigned (positive only number) values. Entities and Attributes After defining the data type and optionally the length, one very important question is when you add a new row, will a value be required in this column or is it optional? Most databases default to requiring all columns to contain values, but sometimes that's not necessary. You might require, for example, a value in AddressLine 1, but not in AddressLine 2, it's just not needed, it's not relevant. So, what you do is you actually define particular columns to allow null values. Null is an important keyword in relational databases. A null is not the same as just a space or a blank entry. Null means the complete absence of a value. So, your columns can be defined as allowing null values, or more typically a column can be not null. A value is required. Entities and Attributes And one option here is that perhaps a default value for a column. So if you don't provide a value, can a default value be entered automatically? I might say, for example, that when I'm creating a new employee row, if I don't put anything in for the date hired, it will default to today's date, the date the row was created. Along the same lines, we might do some constraints to check are there maximum or minimum values for something. Should it match a pattern, like matching an email address or a phone number or a credit card number? Flexibility is usually our friend in programming, but it's not what you're looking for in most relational database. Choosing Primary Keys Each table should have a Primary Key, a value that uniquely identifies an individual row where there can be no duplicates and no confusion. So, if we have an EmployeeID, it should take us to only one employee row. If we have a CustomerID, it takes us to only one customer row. If we have an ISBN number, it takes us to one specific book. When creating a database schema, we need to say which column contains that Primary Key for each of our tables, and if there isn't one, we usually need to make one. Occasionally the key is already naturally in the data. If, for example, I define a Book table where we enter all the details of a book, including its ISBN, well, that ISBN number should be naturally unique. I could then tell the database that this is the Primary Key, and because it occurs in the data, this is what sometimes called a Natural Key. However, in many examples, it doesn't naturally occur. Choosing Primary Keys As I start to build our Customer table, I might realize there's nothing in this that's inherently unique. We might say that Email is unique, but sometimes the same Email address is shared by multiple people as this the same address. If I decide there's nothing that I could guarantee would always be unique, I would add a Customer ID column. Using Composite Keys One option for a Primary Key that you might find useful from time to time is something called a Composite Key. This is when one value does not uniquely identify a row, but two values do, where we'd combine two column values to create a unique Primary Key. It sounds a little weird, so let me give you an example. Let's imagine I've got a publishing company and part of what I do is deal with Yearbooks for high schools. So, I have a Yearbook table. Now, the way this currently stands, none of these columns are naturally a potential Primary Key. There's nothing here that's inherently unique. The School name repeats and the Year repeats. PageCount might be unique but that's just coincidence. We're not looking for something that may be unique, if we're lucky. We need something that will always be and must be unique and makes logical sense to use when identifying each row. So, I can't use the School name. I can't use the Year, but what we can do is combine them. Using Composite Keys If in this Yearbook business, we create one book for each School per year, then if I select the name and the year that can uniquely identify each row. There might be multiple rows for Orchard High and multiple Years for 2010, but there's only one Orchard High for 2010. Only one Orchard High for 2011, only one Lawstone Elementary for 2010, and so on. This is a legitimate Primary Key, and this is known as a Composite Key where it's composed of two or more values. Now, it's true it might sometimes be more useful or even just be more convenient to generate a surrogate Primary Key column anyway. Say in this case, a column called Yearbook ID that will automatically generate an integer, but Composite Keys can be a useful technique, and you will run into them from time to time. One place you will see them, and we'll see them later on is they're used when we're joining tables together to create many-to-many relationships. Using Composite Keys

There's a lot of important things to consider when seeking out an effective solution for your snoring woes.
By Withoutsnoring.com
If you're like millions of people around the world, you probably snore, and you're most likely in need of a solution like yesterday. Not just any solution either, but one that's affordable, simple, and effective. This guide is going to show you what snoring solutions are available, how they work, as well as their associated costs.
Available Anti-Snoring Solutions: Costs and Possible Side-effects
1. Somnoplasty: Although this sounds like surgery, thankfully it's not. At $1700 - $2200 per session (at least 3 sessions or more are required to get results), it should be surgery. A small electrode is inserted into your soft palate emitting very low levels of radio frequency heat to remove tissues from your soft palate and uvula. This procedure has about an 80% success rate. Possible side-effects? People have experienced bleeding, swollen and sore throats, impaired healing, and infection.
2. Uvolopalato-pharyngoplasty: This snoring solution is about as complicated as its name. It's generally an outpatient procedure, but with the list of possible complications and low success rate, it's most likely not worth it. The price for this procedure is about $2,000.00 (including consultation) plus follow-up visits. A laser is used to trim some of the extra tissue and even the uvula if necessary. About 41% – 66% have seen improvements in obstructed sleep apnea. Patients have reported complications such as difficulty swallowing for days, severe pain, and change in voice tone. If you choose this procedure, expect to take at least 3 weeks off of work to heal from the severe pain and discomfort.
3. The Pillar Procedure: The average cost for this solution is about $1500.00. Since this is considered to be a cosmetic procedure, it isn't covered. It takes about 20 minutes to perform and may require some over-the-counter pain killers. Small woven implants are inserted in the soft tissue using a sterile delivery tool. It helps to tighten up the loose tissue. There's about an 80% patient satisfaction rate after an 18-month follow-up period. The only risks involved are the implants coming out, and they can be easily removed.
4. The CPAP Machine: This is mask that is worn while you sleep. A continuous stream of hair is provided through a 6-foot tube that runs from a water pump. It can cost anywhere from $160 - $800 just to get started, and then there are other costs and maintenance on top of that. It is known to be quite effective.
5. Prescription Mouthpieces: With a 74% effectiveness rate, and zero side-effects, this might be the way to go! The only draw-back with prescription mouthpieces is that they are custom-made and therefore expensive. Expect to pay anywhere from $1100 up to $2500 for a custom snoring mouthpiece. While you sleep, these devices work by either holding your tongue slightly forward, freeing up your airways, or moving your jaw slightly forward for the same results. You may have to visit a physician for necessary adjustments. The great news is, there are over-the-counter anti-snoring mouthpieces that are a fraction of the cost and don't require any special visits to a clinic or physician. These over-the-counter solutions are definitely worth checking into.
We hope this guide provided you with a lot of useful information when considering the right snoring solution for you.

How to make Microwave Puffy Paint
Just mix the above ingredients together in a small container. You want enough water so it is a loose paste. You can then put it in a ketchup type squeeze bottle or in a sandwich bag with the edge cut off. The squeeze bottle was great for little hands, but the plastic bag was less clean up – so you pick what works best for your household =-)
Sensory Craft for Preschoolers
The kids thought it was great fun! We 'painted' on cardstock for durability. When the creation is done just stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds (or a little longer if it is really on their thick).
Hands on Tactile Learning
This is also a really cool way to help little ones learn how to make letters!
- You can make upper/lower case letters & match have them match them
- Write the letter in pencil & have them trace it in puffy paint
- Spell out their name so they learn how to "build" it and to trace it with their finger

Anger Management
This one's actually not bad. You know, apart from the angst.
Storm clouds gather in my eyes
My pupils grow to a frightening size
I rage and shout, bawl and yell
My nostrils flare like the flames of hell
The neighbourhood cats all flee with a yowl,
They know that terrible, ghastly scowl.
So I wrote a poem to clear my thoughts
And yet that answer for which I sought
But never found,
Was lost to thoughts much less profound.

Transformer catches fire in Simi Valley
A transformer caught fire just before 6 p.m. Friday in the 2200 block of Madera Road in Simi Valley.
One unit of the Ventura County Fire responded and contacted Southern California Edison, who sent a troubleshooter to the scene.
Southern California Edison spokesman Rudy Gonzales said there was a momentary outage in the area, but it seems the power was able to route around the faulty transformer.
"I believe we will be able to repair this with no other outages," Gonzales said.
No other adjacent structures were threatened.

The Prophet
The city was bustling with activity. People were boisterously bartering, gossiping, jibing, and even begging on every block. It was difficult to walk without stepping over, around, or even under people.
Judas found the crowds that seemed to be headed toward the prophet and he ducked among them. The prophet sat on the temple steps, a few close men stood as bodyguards near him, their posture one of defense and protection. People lined up with all sorts of ailments, crying out for a healing. But the prophet just sat.
Judas snorted in disgust. Shouldn't the prophet be healign them all? Wasn't that his job, his right? For that matter, why didn't he have a tent set up and charge a nominal fee for his services? He could live like a king!
Wait. He was a king. At least that was what the old scriptures called him. Ironic that he sits there, surrounded by, what are those men? fishermen? common laborers?
As these thoughts played through his mind, Judas found himself suddenly at the head of the crowd. He was staring hard at the prophet, thinking about what he woudl tell mother about this man. The truth, or a lie, to placate her and make him seem like the wonderful son she believed him to be.
Just then the prophet stood and stared back into Judas's eyes. It was like he was seeing into his very soul. His expression was one of kindness, but the steady stare was unnerving and burned him, making him feel ashamed.
"Come up here," the prophet commanded. Judas's jaw dropped in pure shock. "Me?!"
The prophet nodded. Judas climbed the steps now on unsteady legs. The bodyguards frowned at him, confused, but let him pass.
"You know the scriptures. Yet you do know me."
"How could I?" Judas retorted in all logic.
The prophet sighed and then waved his entourage, now including Judas, inside the temple.
In all patience he began teaching, sharing the stories of old painted on the glass windows, quoting prophetic scriptures, and telling anecdotal tales with little moral lessons at the end. Judas listened. Some of what he said could be easily agreed with. But he knew in his heart that the people outside could never accept the world the way he painted it with his words.
Judas returned home, leaving the city having met the prophet, and not having met any ladies at all. He had no desire to, now. He was saddened to think things would not change. The world still wouldn't accept the old customs, and those that lived by them would continue to be persecuted. He didn't see this prophet with his humble ways seeking to overthrow the king, or rule the empires.
But at least he coudl tell his mother the truth. He saw the prophet.
And He was for real.
