Life ScienceBy Everett L. Worthington Jr. | September 1, 2004 | 0 comments
The phone rang. My brother Mike's voice was shaky on the other end of the line. "Mom's been murdered."
That morning, Mike had found our 78- year-old mother, Frances Worthington, bludgeoned to death in the doorway to her bedroom. She had apparently interrupted burglars in mid-robbery.
Rage grew inside of me during the seven hour drive to Tennessee. It swelled as my brother, sister, and I talked about the murder scene. That night I was so angry I couldn't sleep. Around 3 a.m., I began to consider the irony of my situation. I had studied forgiveness scientifically for seven years, but all day the word "forgiveness" hadn't even crossed my mind. I wondered, "Could the forgiveness methods I've taught other people actually help me?"
By this time in 1996, colleagues and I had helped about 1,000 people experience emotional forgiveness by replacing negative, unforgiving emotions with positive emotions like empathy, sympathy, compassion, and love. The last thing I wanted to do was feel anything positive about the murder, but I knew that my anger would solve nothing. Healing could only come from changing my emotions.
I systematically imagined who the perpetrator was and what he must have experienced. I tried to understand his fear and shame at being caught by my mother, and I tried to extend compassion toward him. My own rage was gradually replaced by empathy; my resentment gave way to emotional forgiveness.
Forgiveness is seldom a once-and-for-alltime event. My emotions were complicated when, in the following weeks, a youth confessed, then retracted, then was not arraigned after a grand jury determined that the evidence in the case had been contaminated.
I struggled with this news, but forgiveness held as I extended my empathy toward overworked and unappreciated police and courts. I replaced resentment toward the system with compassion. Years later, I learned that the youth had been killed in a fight, and I felt sad. If he had committed the murder but hadn't repented, now he wouldn't have the chance.

Pokemon: Adventures In Unova
Rose's adventured in Unova has begun! With her team of trained pokemon, theres no way she can lose! But who are these team Plasma people?
'Ok Dewott! Use Water Pledge!' Rose called. Dewott spat bursts of water high into the air, and a pretty rainbow appeared in the sky. 'Nice one!' Rose praised. 'Dewott Dewott!' Dewott began walking over to the other pokemon. Tranquill was pirched high in a tree, dozing in the afternoon sun. Liepard was happily sunbathing near a small pond, purring with delight. Zorua, Cinccino and Emolga were chasing eacthother happily. Rose smiled. Route 6 wasn't a bad place. A perfect place to start practicing for the next Gym. Rose pondered what would happen in her head. The gym leader Clay used Ground types, so she knew Dewott would be her first choice. But what about the other two? She looked at Zorua- who could pull amazing illusions. Rose remembered then that the illusions faded. Sighing, she called Liepard and Cinccino over. 'Right you two. Your gonna help me and Dewott win this gym badge. Got it?' They nodded and ran off. A crash in the distance disturbed her. A boy about her age was practicing with his pokemon. A Servine, Watchdog, Pansage, Blitzle, Joltik and a Solosis. They were battling a wild Tepig. Rose ran over to them just as the Tepig got away. 'Awww man!' He cursed. When he turned and saw Rose, his amber eyes threw a challenge. Of course it was Rose's rival Darren. 'I challange you to a battle!' He called. Rose shrugged and backed away. 'Get in there Servine!' He ordered. Rose pulled out her pokedex. So his Snivy had finally evolved.
'Servine, the grass snake pokemon- evolved form of Snivy. It moves along the ground as if sliding. Its swift movements befuddle its foes, and it then attacks with a vine whip.'
'Center Stage Zorua!' Called Rose. Immdietly Zorua transformed into one of its friends, which just happend to be Emolga. Darren tutted. 'You still havent evolved Zorua?' Rose didnt want to. 'Never going to! Use foul play!' Zorua smashed into Servine, using its own power against it. Then Zorua- looking like Emolga- flew high into the air. Darren tucked a bit of his messy blonde hair behind his ear. 'Heh. Not bad. Alright. Servine use Leaf Storm!' Zorua dodged without any worry. The illusion slowly began to fade. Zorua noticed this and transformed back into itself. 'Pusuit!' Rose commanded. Zorua once again smashed into Servine.Servine hit the floor hard, KO! 'Damnit...' Darren muttered. 'Ok goooo Watchdog!' Watchdog hopped into the field. Rose already had information on this pokemon. 'Zorua come back! Emolga your turn!' Emolga flew into the battlefield. 'Use Acrobatics!' Rose commanded. Emolga turned in the air before landing a cricatal hit. 'Whhhaaaa?' Darren mumbled. 'Ok enough fooling around! Use super fang!' 'Dodge and use Shock Wave!' It hit full power once more-Ko! Darren returned Watchdog without a word of praise. 'Blitzle!' Darren commanded. Blitzle dashed onto field. 'Rest Emolga! Cinccino its your turn!' Cinncino entered the field. 'Use Tail slap!' Blitzle got hit hard 4 times. 'Now use swift while its recovering!' KO! Darren once again returned his pokemon. 'That was...3 on 3. Smell ya later.' He laughed, winking. Rose nearly exploded. "THATS NOT YOUR SAYING!' As Darren headed away. Rose began to wonder. Would this battle with Clay be simple?


text: I recently upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 32 bit and instead of simply upgrading I formatted the partition for a fresh start. When I booted Windows 7 up I thought everything was working fine until I tried installing Nvidia's 195.62 driver for my Nvidia GT130M. When I go to install the installation appears to work but I than receive the error, "The System Has Not Been Modified." I've also tried earlier drivers to the same effect. I than checked my Device Manager and found that my computer doesn't even recognize the graphics card. Instead it shows the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter with the yellow "!" next to it. When I go to update the card Windows tells me that there are no new updates. Under device manager I checked the properties of the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and found that the hardware ID is PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0652&SUBSYS_300B1509. I than took this information and edited the nvam.ini file in the 195.62 driver folder as an attempt at making my computer recognize the driver but this also didn't work. Im at a loss here right now... After countless searching I believe the error has something to do with registry permission but I have no idea how to solve it. Any advice on this problem would be appreciated.

"It was definitely the pancakes!"
by Ohholyoneandrew February 02, 2009
A phrase used to justify actions taken upon an ungrateful bitch who never acknowledges when something nice is being done for her.
I got up early and made pancakes for breakfast. Fuck, she never said thanks so I broke up with her. It was definitely the pancakes.

Someone please help! Toys have taken over my house and I don't know what to do!! Someone must have some system that works. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Both have recently had birthdays, and add that to the ridiculous amounts of things they got for Christmas... I really just want to get rid of it all. I feel like such a Scrooge :( I used to keep a lot of toys for them to play with out, and in different locations around the house. I'd keep the excess toys in a spare bedroom closet and occasionally DS1 would "trade" something for something out of the closet. The problem with that "system" is that DH would constantly be bringing more things out for DS1 to play with making more and more toys out. And now there are so many toys that I need to find some better way to organize them rather than just putting the extra in a spare rubbermaid container in the closet. There are too many toys now to do this. Some are too big, some have a ton of pieces.
Please give me your suggestions! Thanks!
But really, we never were able to conquer the toy beast. The good news is, now, at 5 & 8, my kids have their favorite toy collections & have been willing to part with the stuff they outgrew and/or no longer use. As they've gotten older, we seem to have fewer toys in the house.
Purge out anything they don't really play with or has little play value.
I keep at least 50% of our toys in storage and rotate. Favorite toys/special toys stay in the kids bedrooms. The toys in living areas are communal. I try to keep out a variety of things but not a ton. right now we have out Kitchen set (always out), dolls/doll stuff, a play house, about 6 puzzles, abc blocks, small plastic animals, duplo, and lego. When they get bored I switch out what ever isn't getting played with. Less is more with littles. :)
Donate donate donate :-)
I just did it, couldn't stand it any more, too much clutter and mess.
I believe that there are kids out there who would be happy to get our *used* toys, as long as they are in good shape. someone would love to have it.
I schedule with the VVA to pick it up.
If you feel like you have too much, you probably do. we all do :-)

Family Games Invade the Geek Tree
Santa's come and gone, leaving behind a small armada of games for us to try out: Zombie Dice (and Zombie Dice 2) and the Mars Attacks Dice Game, both by Steve Jackson Games, and Star Fluxx by Loony Labs.
Geeky Christmas Vacation 2014
Christmas Vacation is finally here. After long days and longer nights of working to make sure everything got done before I left the office, it's Christmas Eve, the college is closed, and I think I can relax. I'm off from December 24 through January 4, and we've got all manner of family fun planned, including watching Guardians of the Galaxy with my parents (something the kids are eager to do) and some family skiing (which I'm eager to do).
On Colds, Insomnia, and Green Arrow
It's the night before the night before Christmas ... and I have a cold. It seems to be a fast moving cold -- it hit me yesterday afternoon, and made last night miserable, but today I'm half human and I expect to return to the species full tomorrow.

Random Access Gaming, Vol. 1
I owe most of my esoteric knowledge of mythology, religion, art, and culture to role-playing game. Much of it was learned at the literary knee of Gary Gygax in the form of the Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual, both of which were packed with strange monster names, advanced vocabulary, and random loot tables.
Star Wars: Scavenger's Guide to Droids
Scavenger's Guide to Droids is the definitive droid source book for Star Wars: Saga Edition, introducing a new chassis-based system for creating droids, a new streamlined "protocol" format that lets players run droids as equipment rather than NPCs, new droid manufacturing traits and personality quirks and a 96 page codex containing dozens of droids.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is either too short, or too long ... I haven't decided which yet. Regardless it's a movie filled with spectacular moments, tremendous visuals, and a sense that there's a story that was some how missed.
Consider Phlebas
Consider Phlebas is a sometimes thrilling, often meandering, always morally gray novel about people caught up in a galactic war. It's antihero is Horza, a human shape changer working for the Iridans, an alien civilization of religious zealots hell bent on breaking the galactic strength of The Culture, humanity's own star-faring civilization.
Searching for Appendix N Inspiration
One of the great things about Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is the re-emergence of recommending reading lists. The new lists (Appendix E in the Player's Handbook, Appendix D in the Dungeon Master's Guide) are patterned after Gary Gygax's legendary Appendix N from the original 1st edition AD&D DMG.

This past week we had a pretty darn good snow storm. It was breathtakingly gorgeous, as though Mother Nature nestled our house in a snow-down blanket. I can't remember the last time I have experienced such a volume of snow in two short days. Not only but it was so pristine white with the fluff of down yet looked as smooth as silk. I just don't know of any other way to describe it. Bob and I stayed home for three days, soaking up all the quality time being with one another sitting on the couch, watching the snow fall….

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
ExxonMobil has never been a big fan of climate science. The largest oil company in the world has been caught funding bad science on climate, and CEO Rex Tillerson has claimed previously that there are "too many complexities around climate science for anybody to fully understand all of the causes and effects." This week, Tillerson made news by acknowledging that climate change is real, it's just not that big of a deal.
The Guardian flags a speech Tillerson gave at the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday in which he argued that the public is "illiterate," reporters are "lazy," and climate models "are not particularly good." But he did note that climate change is happening:
So I'm not disputing that increasing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere is going to have an impact. It'll have a warming impact. The -- how large it is is what is very hard for anyone to predict. And depending on how large it is, then projects how dire the consequences are.
No worries though, Tillerson thinks the "consequences are manageable" because humans are good at adapting. This is what he told a questioner who expressed concern that burning all those fossil fuels means future generations will suffer:
What do you want to do if we think the future has sea level rising four inches, six inches? Where are the impacted areas, and what do you want to do to adapt to that? And as human beings as a -- as a -- as a species, that's why we're all still here. We have spent our entire existence adapting, OK? So we will adapt to this. Changes to weather patterns that move crop production areas around -- we'll adapt to that. It's an engineering problem, and it has engineering solutions. And so I don't -- the fear factor that people want to throw out there to say we just have to stop this, I do not accept.
I'm not really sure whether to interpret this as progress on Tillerson's part.

Personality varies among persons – Thought 4 Children
Rory was always having fun at everyone's expense. He always wanted to play, even when it wasn't play time, or even if it was, when other children did not want to play with him. He would run by them and take their things, hit them on the ears, hide their lunch bags and all sorts of mischief. He was always told that he should stop messing with everyone because one day it would backfire, but he never listened.
One day a new child came to school, and right away everyone knew that he was going to be a bully. On the very first day he was already bossing the other kids around and calling them names. They were told that he moved a lot because of it. Rory did not care that he was a bully; he still created the same mischief he always did. At lunch, he hid his backpack when he wasn't looking. When Fred the bully came back and saw that it was gone he began terrorizing everyone, until he was told that Rory was the one who had hidden it. He stormed after Rory and when he caught him, he held him by the collar and threatened to hang him on the tree if he didn't return his bag. Rory was so scared he ran off and got the bag from where it was hidden and gave it back to Fred.
The other days that he was at school, Rory did not create as much mischief as he used to. The other children were very glad about that, even though it meant that Fred was not bullying them around. They began to miss Rory's mischief because at least he was just playing; Fred was taking their things and ordering them around. They were very happy when they were told that Fred would have to move again. When he was gone, they expected Rory to continue with what he was always doing. But Rory had learned his lesson, so he was more careful now about what he did to whom.
Everyone has different personalities, and so like different things. Be careful to treat everyone in a way that agrees with their personality; everyone cannot be treated in exactly the same way.

War poem
We will kill to put the world to right.Come my heros,come and join the fight.
You can have a uniform.you can have a gun.
You will feel six feet tall.killing is fun.
You can have a medal when the enemy does run.
Take the kings shilling and leave your mum.
I took it. I went. I had a uniform.I had a gun.
I did not feel six feet tall as the enemy did run,
I miss my Mum.
In blood and shit I lay.
Thinking of home so far away.
Yorkshire Puds and pints of beer
And women?
Well there is non here.
Flies buzz round open wounds Uniforms stained in shit and pee
What happened to the people we used to be?
I wonder?does the enemy think the same as me?
A war started by the power that be.
So warm and snug across the sea.
I think if we win.we could have lost.When we count the final cost.
The price of tears and misery.

Point Sur Lighthouse marks 125th birthday this weekend
BIG SUR, Calif. - The 125th anniversary of the first lighting of the Point Sur Lighthouse is being celebrated this weekend in Big Sur.
Costumed lighthouse keepers will lead tours on Saturday and providing a living history of what it was like to work and live there throughout the ages.
More information about the event is here.
It took mariners 11 years of petitioning the U.S. Lighthouse Service Board before money was allocated for Point Sur in 1886. Three years later, on August 1, 1889, the lightstation keys were turned over to the first keeper, according to historians.
The last keeper left Point Sur in 1974. Nowadays, the U.S. Coast Guard services the lighthouse.

Bags of tricks
Marks & Spencer has ditched its free plastic bags, but is the supermarket with what Eco Soundings considers some of the worst packaging really being so ethical? It seems that by putting a price on the bags that were free, M&S reduces its obligations to cut waste and increase recycling. This comes from Environment Agency policy manager Jeff Cooper (who speaks eco-ese, but is just about intelligible): "M&S has the great advantage of turning something obligated under the packaging regulations to something that is not obligated because it becomes a sales item, and hence a product rather than packaging." M&S says it is not taking advantage: "We will continue to classify carrier bags as a packaging item. We do not intend to bypass any regulations. We are not making any profit on the sales; all profits are going to charity."
Cross purposes
Has Boris gone mad? Part III. The loquacious Mr Johnson, Conservative candidate for London mayor, has spoken out about the proposed but strongly opposed £500m Thames Gateway bridge in east London, saying he does not support it in its current motorway-style form. Fine so far, but Boris goes on to say: "I support in principle the need for an extra river crossing upstream from Tower Bridge to ease congestion and aid economic growth." No, Boris. You don't. There are lots of bridges upstream. You mean downstream. On the other hand, a walking and cycling only bridge between City Hall and the Tower of London would be welcome.
Budget blues
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has had a pretty miserable year, and last week the National Audit Office capped it by listing the department's losses - £11m overspent on IT projects, £348m on penalties following late payments to farmers, and so on - and saying it must do much better. It has left people on the frontline of trying to ensure a better environment in the UK feeling very depressed. This year's budget has now been formalised, and it's tears all round for Defra's agencies. Wrap, the body charged with reducing packaging, has a 30% cut, Natural England 13.2 %, the Commission for Rural Communities 35.7%, the National Forest Company 12.2%, and the Marine Fisheries Agency 35%. Instead of Defra, they now call it Def.
Lost cause
Saddest cut of all was the abandonment of Defra's £15m Discovering Lost Ways project. The idea was to reopen old byways and droves where historic use could be proved, even if the routes were not shown on "definitive" maps. It ran into problems because local authorities were not prepared for the number of applications for these new rights of way - up to 300 possible new routes in Cheshire, Nottinghamshire and Shropshire alone, and potentially up to 10,000 across the rest of England and Wales. Landowners will be breathing a sigh of relief, says property consultants Strutt & Parker. But the mean people in big houses are not out of the woods yet. "Uncertainty continues," says a Strutt & Parker spokesman, "because although local authorities will no longer receive funding for the handling of applications . . . they still have a statutory duty to investigate valid claims. The issue will not go away." Quite right, too.
Slick movers
Following in the footsteps of the fast food giant McDonald's, which is now running most of its trucks on recycled oil from its restaurants, Richmond borough council in west London is set to become the first local authority to run its entire 200-vehicle fleet on recycled cooking oil. But the path to going green was not easy. "We wrote to the chancellor asking for a reduction in the tax duty, but he turned us down," says the council's cabinet member David Trigg.

Creative clothing for little ones.
Well, let's start at the beginning. My mom has a degree in Home Economics, and signed me up for 4-H at the age of 5. So it began; I have always loved all things craft, handmade, artsy, and creative.
Fast forward twenty or so years, my husband and I love to travel. On one of our trips, we went to France, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. Somewhere in one of those romantic places, we made our own tiny souvenir. We found out we were pregnant, sorted out our life, and moved into our lovely, little house in the country. Our shop was started after the birth (which was at home with our fantastic midwife! Three days after we moved into said house.. Talk about just in time.) of our daughter. I was down, and out for a couple weeks, and started painting her onesies with designs that I wished were out there. Shortly thereafter, I put a few on Etsy, and they sold! With the opening of our catering company, I don't have the time to sit and hand paint everything, so we decided that it would be best to start silkscreen printing instead. And here we are!

Additional policies and FAQs
Note on washing/drying method: Anything I have printed for our daughter doesn't suffer from much discoloration until she's about to out grow it - after I've soaked, bleached, stain treated it, etc. She gets everything dirty, so there's that, too. The onesies and tees can incur slight fading with wash and wear, the same as any screen printed shirt. A good way to prolong their shelf life is to wash with detergents that don't have any sort of bleaching agents in them (like Dreft or Ivory), in cold water, on gentle cycle, and give your dryer a break! Lay flat or hang on a clothesline to dry.

Combining Synthetic, Natural Toxins Could Disarm Cancer, Drug-Resistant Bacteria
"One of the oldest tricks in fighting is the one-two punch -- you distract your opponent with one attack and deliver a knockout blow with another," said José Onuchic of Rice's Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP). "Combinatorial drug therapies employ that strategy at a cellular level.
"A wealth of research in recent years has shown that both cancer and bacteria can mount sophisticated, coordinated defenses against almost any drug," said Onuchic, Rice's Harry C. and Olga K. Wiess Professor of Physics and Astronomy, professor of chemistry, and biochemistry and cell biology. "By combining drugs, particularly those that place stress on different parts of the cell, we expect it will be possible to knock out either cancer cells or bacteria while simultaneously inhibiting their ability to become drug-resistant."
Onuchic and CTBP colleagues Eshel Ben-Jacob and Patricia Jennings reached their conclusions after analyzing several studies on anti-microbial peptides (AMPs), corkscrew-shaped chains of amino acids that kill Gram-negative bacteria. The CTBP team's ideas appear this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) as a commentary on new findings from MD Anderson Cancer Center about a promising synthetic AMP called D-KLAKLAK-2. In its new research, MD Anderson researchers found D-KLAKLAK-2, which was already known to kill cancer cells, is also an effective drug against antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
"AMPs are produced naturally by a number of animals to fight bacteria," said Ben-Jacob, professor of biochemistry and cell biology at Rice and the Maguy-Glass Chair in Physics of Complex Systems and professor of physics and astronomy at Tel Aviv University. "AMPs are corkscrew-shaped. They do not harm the animals' own cells, but they penetrate and shred the double-layered membranes of Gram-negative bacteria."
Gram-negative bacteria are a class of pathogens that includes drug-resistant varieties of bacteria that cause pneumonia, sepsis and other deadly diseases.
Ben-Jacob said cancer researchers have previously shown that they can tag AMPs with special "marker" molecules that allow the AMPs to penetrate and kill cancer cells. The markers allow the AMPs to be taken inside the cancer cells, something they cannot normally do.
"Once inside the cancer cells, the AMPs target and damage the cell's power plant, an organelle called the mitochondria, which has a double-layered membrane that is remarkably similar to that of Gram-negative bacteria," he said.
Though research has shown that AMPs can kill cancer cells, scientists are concerned that cancer cells could develop resistance to the compounds. In part, this concern arises from the fact that AMPs are fairly common in nature and that some organisms already have genetic mutations that allow them to evade AMP attacks.
To circumvent these natural defenses, MD Anderson researchers Wadih Arap and Renata Pasqualini led an effort a few years ago to create a synthetic version of a natural corkscrew-shaped AMP called KLAKLAK-2. Like all naturally occurring AMPs, KLAKLAK-2 has a left-handed twist -- much like the threads of a screw that turn clockwise. To make the molecule more difficult for cancer cells to fight, the MD Anderson team built a right-handed, "counterclockwise" version of the molecule called D-KLAKLAK-2, with the "D" denoting right-handedness. In its most recent studies, which also appear this week in PNAS, the MD Anderson team found that D-KLAKLAK-2 is an effective killer of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including several types that have grown resistant to traditional antibiotics.
"Bacteria are notorious for their rapid development of drug resistance," Ben-Jacob said. "However, both bacteria and cancer have impaired ability to resist these man-made 'mirror' compounds because they cannot use the machinery they have evolved to disarm the right-handed weapons."
Onuchic said another advantage of therapies involving synthetic AMPs like D-KLAKLAK-2 is that the drugs can be administered in extremely small doses, which will reduce side effects.
The Rice team suggests maximizing the benefits of synthetic AMPs by using them in drug cocktails that act like a one-two punch for either bacteria or cancer.
Naturally occurring AMPs are chemical weapons that bacteria themselves have developed over millions of years in their never-ending war among themselves. The team reasons that combining these natural toxins with man-made mirror drugs will create the drug equivalent of a one-two punch. The combination should "confuse" bacteria and cancer and prevent them from rapidly becoming resistant to the man-made drugs.
"Nature is smarter than we are," Ben-Jacob said. "Time and again, we have seen that seemingly simple cellular foes like bacteria and cancer can learn to mount effective defenses against any new drug we create. It is time to accept them as sophisticated enemies. We should attack them in much the same way that a well-trained boxer or military commander would go after a wily opponent -- with multiple, coordinated blows of very different kinds."
Jennings is professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. Research at CTBP is supported by the National Science Foundation and by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

A large mall is across the street with a excellent choice of restaurants. A high end steak restaurant is right across the parking lot and if you go at happy hour you can get a great burger in the bar for a good price. The hot tub and pool are relaxing, but can by crowded with children and the hotel does not seem to enforce the pool closing time and it can get loud if you are trying to sleep. Houskeeping and reception staff was very friendly. The breakfast and happy hour are your basic residence in fair, but it is nice to grab a beer at teh end of the day and sit by the pool. The room are good value for your money and although you are close to the airport I rarely heard any plane noise.

Four and Twenty Elders (4 of 12) by Daniel Rodgers
This content is part of a series.Four and Twenty Elders (4 of 12)
Series: A Closer Look at Heaven
Dan Rodgers
Revelation 4:1-11
1. This is the 4th in our series of 12 lessons on the theme, "A Closer Look at Heaven." Last Wednesday we talked about "That Heavenly City"; tonight I want to have us take a look at the four and twenty elders mentioned here in Rev. 4.
HUMOR: Before we take serious look at our lesson tonight, I want to inject a bit of light humor... just a little something I found while looking at stories on heaven.
An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from his bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands.
With labored breath, he leaned against the doorframe, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven: there, spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table, were literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted wife seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumbled posture. His parched lips parted; the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth; seemingly bringing him back to life.
The aged withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. "Stay out of those!" she said. "They are for the funeral."
With a wife like that, I'm sure he was looking forward to heaven.
2. Let's bring ourselves back to our message this evening, and take a look at the 24 elders mentioned in chapter four.

There Beneath An Elm Tree
I pulled into one of Boston's quieter neighborhoods and found a out of the way side street, far from any flow of traffic. I parked just past an old Victorian house, the home of some retired physician, I imagined. There beneath an elm tree, I untied the fancy pink ribbon that enclosed Mollie's Memory Box.
Nothing all that surprising within it; child's artwork, achievement certificates, photographs of birthday parties and graduations, swatches of cloth, snips of ribbon, even a lock of air preserved in glass.
But my search was not in vain. Scattered here and there in the box were a few letters and notes. I was expecting more, but a few would prove to be enough.
I selected one that had the look of being rather recent, a note from Mollie asking her mother for some money for the holidays. I pulled from my pocket Mollie's last note to Benji and compared the handwriting with the note to Mrs. O'Hara.
"I knew it!" The handwriting was not the same. Oh, both letters were written with an elegant feminine hand, but clearly, most definitely written by different people. "D*mn, I knew it!"
With my mission accomplished, I began tidying up my mess but then my hand found a photograph of three teenage girls all dressed up for what appeared to the high school prom. There was Molly clowning around with who appeared to be her best friends. I had the strangest thought in that moment. There was young Mollie, so full of life and future, and now she was dead. The other two girls, i wondered, "Whatever became of them?"
I'm not sure why, but I lingered there awhile, beneath that sprawling elm tree, staring at that photograph, almost crying. Let me take that back ... I know why I cried.

|Reviews for As the Raven Flies
| MorbidAesthetic chapter 1 . 8/10/2014
Very interesting. It makes it seem as if Raven is waiting for Terra to backstab them. Even though I'm usually a BBRae person, the BBTerra worked here. Good job.
| thayet9 chapter 1 . 5/16/2011
This was an extremely long way of writing a tiny amount of matiriel half ,if not more, could have been cut out. it dragged, there was little to no life and the only redeeming feature (the whole trust thing) was hidden in ramblings from a sleep deprived raven.
| Twilighthippie1 chapter 1 . 12/16/2009
Loved this, it is very good )
Keep it up!

Good job. Raven is very IC.
| Ai Ga Hoshii Dake chapter 1 . 4/23/2008
You're a very clever writer. Good fic.
| inactive-22220 chapter 1 . 7/2/2006
An intellectual insight within itself... flows perfectly! You're writing style is definately one to be greatly proud of.

Very good! u so rock at this kind of writing. I Absoletley love it. I luv the play of words. Original and creative
| Blank Void chapter 1 . 4/26/2005
This is a very good story. Its well worth praise, i would like to see more work from you.
| The Dark Hanyou chapter 1 . 7/19/2004
That was one of the best stories I've read, it was really deep and showed a grasp of so many views. It was so good!
| Reviewer chapter 1 . 6/3/2004
excellent. i'm glad we get to see a different side of Raven, the inside, rather than the cold exterior that they show on TV.
| TB the Third chapter 1 . 6/1/2004
Yeah! Go Toonami! UK rocks! Sorry but in your face US of A!
(deep breath)
Sorry, over-reacted. Seriously though, it's not so unusual for the UK to recieve episodes like this prior to the US. Seems that Cartoon Network in the US has a habit of constantly repeating little chunks of of series, while UK Toonami shows the whole series then loops back to the beginning.
The 'Terra Arc' as I call it is really thought-provoking and you capture this really well in this piece. That line in the theme tune also bugs me as well with regards to Terra.
What I would really like to see is a follow-up detailing Raven's thoughts on Terra after 'Betrayal' and then 'Aftershock II'. Add this to 'As the Raven flies' and you've got a nice trilogy showing how Raven's opinions on Terra evolve throughout the series.
Thankyou for this nice little fic and good luck with anything you choose to write in the future, whether Teen Titans related or not.
| Cheese Simian chapter 1 . 4/29/2004
I had a feeling you would write a Teen Titans fic sooner or later. I've been toying with the idea myself as of late. Anyways, I liked how you gave another spin on Terra and more depth to Raven. I've always been a passive Raven fan. I'm more of a BB fan. Star Fire is another favorite too. Terra, I haven't decided yet. I'm still annoyed with not having seen the first episode with Terra in it. Narf. Glad the UK is finally getting shows that are more up to date. I believe Australia is still waiting for the 4th season of Evo, aren't they? I hope you write another Teen Titan fic soon and hopefully write an update to OBAB.
| zero chapter 1 . 4/17/2004
wow... that was great. im a big fan of your writing. i've read most of your stories and although imcomplete my favorite would have to be of beast and blade.
im hoping you would write more stories of teen titans focusing on raven. ones that are not one shot. please consider making a rob/rav story... but if not any other teen titans story will do... even if it is reaven/beast boy (although im not a big fan) i sure as hell will still read it.
i look forward to reading more of your work...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was laid off from a law firm last week. The reasons given were that they had a lost a number of attorneys that worked for them and business was not as good as should be. My job title was Collections Analyst and I was responsible for contacting clients with past due accounts and either collecting the balance or negotiating a payment plan. I was the only person in the firm that did this type of work. My performance reviews were always good and I received a pay raise and year end bonus like all the other clerical staff. My salary was the highest in the Accounting Department which I was a part of. I understand in California salary cannot be used as a determining factor when deciding to lay off an individual. Based on these facts do you feel I was laid off because of my salary as the determining reason?
Using the actions of other law firms in the region as instructive, it is not unlikely that the firm does not believe that it presently requires a designated employee for the work you describe. Very likely the work you did will be absorbed by another employee or employees. Most businesses, including law firms, have a working idea of the revenue attributable to the various position functions. Most likely, the fiscal contribution from your position -- even though done well -- was not sufficient to cover the overhead of an employee in that position.
It is not clear why you believe that salary cannot be a criteria used by the employer in making lay-off decisions. That is not the state of the law.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
You have been misinformed. Employers can and often do use salary as a basis for laying people off to cut costs. There is nothing unlawful about that. In some cases, an argument can be made that laying off the highest paid workers creates, what we call, a disparate impact on older workers and may be the basis for an age discrimination claim. But in the rare case where this may work, it usually applies to large scale layoffs not individual cases.
They say you get what you pay for, and this response is free, so take it for what it is worth. This is my opinion based on very limited information. My opinion should not be taken as legal advice. For true advice, we would require a confidential consultation where I would ask you questions and get your complete story. This is a public forum, so remember, nothing here is confidential. Nor am I your attorney. I do not know who you are and you have not hired me to provide any legal service. To do so would require us to meet and sign written retainer agreement.

10 Ways You Can Master UX
Were you one of the thousands of people who tried to access the HealthCare.gov website in the first few weeks after it launched? Even if you weren't on the site yourself, you probably heard all about users' frustrations—confusing navigation, unclear information, and experiences so frustrating that users gave up entirely.
Don't let serious issues like these be the reason you finally start paying attention to your site users' experience.
UX Defined
The user experience (UX) can be boiled down to the communication between your website and the people who use it. An effective UX requires a specific understanding of what your clients need, what they value, and how savvy they are when it comes to web navigation. An incredibly cool website does little good if your site visitors can't figure out how to get from one page to the next.
Every visitor to your website has a specific user experience. While every path is a little different, there are some great ways to tweak the user experience so that your visitors are getting the most from their time on your site.
A valuable UX has to account for emotional and aesthetic variables alongside the functional and informative uses of your website. While aspects like usability can be measured, a lot of the other parts of the user experience aren't so easily quantified—how a user feels, how well your site meets their needs, etc.
In the end, producing a great user experience means focusing on making your site visitors' experience as smooth and useful as possible.
UX Mastered
To create a stellar UX that truly works for your business, your site needs to:
- Employ compelling copy that gives users direct access to the information they need
- Be intuitively designed so users can quickly and easily navigate
- Present your brand and identity in a way that provokes positive emotions
- Provide easy-to-find content that is presented in order of importance
- Be accessible to people with disabilities
- Use a consistent tone and reliable sources to build trust
- Be optimized to make use of device-specific options like swiping on touch screens or hover options on desktops
- Load fast with pages that don't time out
- Be free of errors, broken links or buttons that don't go where users expect
- Offer a robust search capability with useful links
Powerful UX is a marriage of skilled coding, great writing, inspired design, and impeccable market research. Getting it right takes attention to detail and a real dedication to your clients' needs and expectations.
Your website visitors need to not only be able to easily use your website, but enjoy doing it. Defining the perfect user experience is more of a long game than it is a quick fix. With the right focus, you'll be able to make informed decisions about your website's design, organization and copy. With your finger on the pulse of your specific market, those changes will get you closer and closer to answering all your users' needs.
