Fear abounds; on blogs, television, schools, nations, churches. Fear seeps in and makes us cling to the comfort of what we know which leads to a false sense of security. Fear denies, pushes away and closes off. Fear makes us forget that sacrifice is necessary for life.
Perfection, for me, was the mask hiding my fear. I only handled matters I knew something about and pretended to know about issues I did not understand. But something shifted as I learned to take the mask off. I didn't need to know all of the answers any more. A change occurred in my soul as I became teachable from other people's experiences and stories. Together we could make a way through the fuzziness to be seen and so much of life is about just being visible to one another.

In the words of G.K. Chesterton, "The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost."
I don't like these words this morning.
I don't like their seeming conflictions,
or conflicted implications.
Jesus says He is the Way.
And God says He is Love.
And Scripture says They are one.
So I can only conclude that "the Way" must be "Love."
But what about times I don't want to choose Love?
When I'd prefer another way in, or out,
Because the Way of Love hurts too bad?
Micah and I are leaving for Haiti next week.
Amy Chua and the "Tiger Mom" buzz is starting to wane, but the issues it raises are still vital. If you haven't heard about it, here's my oversimplified version:
1. Chinese mother writes hyperbolic memoir about old-school Asian parenting, complete with music torture anecdotes and educational agony.
Chua's book is certainly stirring up my students' discussions about their own home paradigm. I teach AP students in a culturally diverse high school, where Parmvir and Li-Lin (who are forbidden to quit cello or attend school dances) sit beside Jessica and Brandon (who hang out at parties on weekends, play video games, and make due with a casual GPA of 3.2). Chua's memoir brings to the surface what my Asian students have known for years: their parents are out of the mainstream and dang proud of it.

Dynamite faith is childlike faith.
The other day I was having my quiet time (as I do every morning), and it JUST happened to be the day I was going to sit down and "discuss" with God how He's going to provide for my needs. I mean...
He called me.
Told me to move.
And so here I am scared and asking like a little child...or am I?
A child does not repeatedly ask his parents whether he will be taken to a doctor if he becomes ill or whether there will be another meal to eat (at least, not very often in our culture). The reason he does not ask such questions is that his parents have proven to him over and over again they they love him enough to take care of his needs. It is the same with God...
This is faith. How happy would a parent be if his child constantly questioned him as to whether his needs would be met? The parent would feel frustrated and sad, perhaps angry that the child did not trust him (Billy Graham, Unto The Hills, January 29).

My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you. Psalm 139:1
In a world where Christians, in the name of holiness, arrogantly distance themselves from everything "secular"......and like the Pharisees, can't figure out what it means to be "in" the world but not "of" it........
In a world where Christians, in the name of holiness, arrogantly stand back and bash non-Christians for living like, well, non-Christians......
We need to check these actions and attitudes with the scriptures. I have a word I sometimes use to describe this type of activity. But I want to warn you, this could be bad. I only use this word in conversations where people know my heart and theological convictions. Posting it publicly like this could get me in trouble. I don't mean to be rash by using this word, but I honestly cannot think of one that better describes this type of activity by the very people that are supposed to be following the example of Christ.

When the book comes up and people have not heard about it, I explain the topic - in brief - if they ask. They seem interested and nod as if pondering something much deeper. I blanket the answer as this is "My journey - my story" of how I made peace with the feeling of not being good enough; that I was driven by everyone's expectations of acting and being and doing my life in a certain way. In no way, shape or form am I trying to project my journey onto theirs (or sell the book, but that's always a perk).

"What you mean, Mrs. Abbie? This is our normal. And we barely ever miss. Watch this," said the shortest of the bunch, laying-up the ball with a near perfect swoosh.
"Oh," I
said, walking away with two realizations. Namely, that we are what we're raised with, and our "norms" aren't always (or are rarely!) the norms of those around us. This goes for views of sports, health, safety, morality, church, God, self, family, theology, psychology, and the list goes on.

The latest news from academia, regulators
research labs and other things of interest
|Posted: Oct 28, 2016
New surfaces repel water in oil as well as oil in water
|If you drop some water on your new Teflon pan, drops can't hold firmly anywhere. The pan does not get wet but droplet rebounds in the shape of pancake. Drop some oil on the pan and it stays there better because oil, unlike water, slightly wets the surface.
|Researchers of Aalto University have developed new surface materials that are extremely difficult to wet both by water and oil. Because they don't need isolating air to stay trapped between the droplet and rough surface to prevent wetting, these surface materials work even when wet by another liquid (Advanced Materials, "Unusual Dual Superlyophobic Surfaces in Oil-Water Systems: The Design Principles").
|Researchers' novel dual superlyophobic surfaces repel water even when covered by oil and oil when covered by water. So far, this has been regarded as contradictory to each other and not expected to be present on the same surface.
|Illustration about the surface keeping oil and water droplets separated in another liquid. (Illustration: Xuelin Tian, Robin Ras)
|Several ways to apply
|"The competitive interaction with surfaces between oil and water plays an essential role in various technological applications. Our new design strategy of surfaces can be used in many ways from self-cleaning to dirt-repellency," tells Xuelin Tian, who was a postdoctoral researcher in Aalto University before recently becoming a professor at Sun Yat-sen University, China.
|Liquid-repellent surfaces are very important for several industries. For instance, the extreme oil repellency under water can be utilized in marine industry to fight against fouling, including oil contamination and biofouling by organisms. On the other hand, the extreme water repellency of the surfaces when covered by oil are also a great help against corrosion: moisture is effectively inhibited and corrosion can be reduced.
|Such surfaces can be regarded as an environment-responsive material which means its surface wettability changes with the environmental liquid it contacts. Unlike other responsive surfaces, the new surface does not rely on reconfigurable organic molecular modification, and thus offers a new strategy to make smart materials. When processed in the form of porous materials, it may be used for separation of both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions, whereas common oil/water separation materials work for one type of emulsion only, says Assistant Professor Robin Ras from Aalto University.
|Two design criteria
|Researchers propose two design criteria for new surfaces: the liquid filling criterion and the steady composite interface criterion. The design criteria lead to steady trapping of airless oil and water films within surface texture. Such liquid films enable both underoil superhydrophobicity, repelling water under oil, and underwater superoleophobicity, repelling oil under water.
|Surfaces are prepared by the combination of re-entrant topography and delicately matched surface chemistry.

Another day, another tweet-fest from Adam.
As you will read, by the end of his twitter session, Adam states that he is totally OVER IT, meaning the Idol finale controversy that wasn't really a controversy.
Personally, between the two situations, I say forget the finale as I would much rather have Adam working on his tour. With that being said, we are over it as well!!!!
I have also included an article from Michael Slezak, EW correspondent, explaining the entire situation.
Adam Lambert rep: Report about canceled 'American Idol' finale gig was 'completely fabricated'
by Michael Slezak
Categories: American Idol, Rumor Control
Adam-Lambert-new report by PopEater columnist Rob Shuter claiming that American Idol producers nixed Adam Lambert's performance on tonight's season finale because he failed to show up for rehearsals is filled with "false information," says a rep for the season 8 runner-up. What happened, says 19 Entertainment's Roger Widynowski, is that, like most major Idol grads, Adam was approached by producers about being a part of the telecast, which included seven out of eight previous Idol winners and a stage full of additional bold-faced show alumni paying tribute to departing judge Simon Cowell. Lambert, however, came down with a case of laryngitis over the weekend, and with his Glam Nation tour set to begin June 4 in Wilkes-Barre, PA, he was promptly placed on vocal rest. "He was never confirmed to do the show. He never skipped rehearsal," adds Widynowski.
The PopEater article, however, quotes an unnamed source claiming that Lambert "did not show up for rehearsals, sending producers scrambling because they weren't sure 'if Adam is sick, being a diva, or worse, planning something that he does not want people to see.'" It goes on to say that Lambert wasn't "interested in changing his performances to suit [Idol producers'] standards" and that "his non-appearance will be played off by claiming Lambert is sick."
"That's completely fabricated," responds Widynowski.
One fact Widynowski and Shuter agree on is that Lambert did send out a Tweet on May 19 announcing he wouldn't be part of the season-ending telecast. "Unfortunately not performing on Idol Finale. Guess they have plenty of artists booked. Catch me on Ellen tommorow [sic] and Leno on Friday," Lambert wrote.
Requests for comment from Fox and American Idol were not immediately responded to.
Here is the result of Adam's tweet fest yesterday, and for it to make sense, scroll to the bottom and read upward!!

Drennon is the lone athlete from New Jersey playing in this week's game and is looking forward to competing alongside some of the nation's top prospects.
"I'm hoping to play against bigger guys. The people we go up against in New Jersey aren't as big as these guys are, so it gives me a challenge to play with players who are as good as I am, and better.
"I'm the only person from New Jersey here, so I get to put it on for my state and battle it out against guys from different states. It feels good to be here. I get to see what football is like everywhere else," he said.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound prospect is one of three future Tar Heels participating in the game and Drennon has enjoyed spending time with offensive lineman R.J. Prince and fellow defensive line prospect Nazair Jones.
"I love it because I never got to meet those guys, so this is my actual chance to hang out with them and see what they are about on the field," he said.
In August, Drennon committed to the Tar Heels over a number of other programs and still feels confident with his decision.
"I chose North Carolina for two reasons. First, because one of my best friends, a player from my school, Greg Webb, is also a North Carolina commit, so we're going to go there together. And I just love it down there: the weather, the campus. Just to have a degree from North Carolina is a big deal," he said.
He's also looking forward to using his talents to help the Tar Heels on the field.
"A lot of guys may be bigger and stronger than I am, but I just like to beat them with my quickness. I'd say my speed is my biggest strength," he said.
This week's roster is comprised of players who will be joining programs from almost every major conference, and Drennon has enjoyed representing both the ACC and the Tar Heels.
"There's a lot of trash talking," he laughed. "We just want to prove that what we're going to do at our school is better than what they will do at their school."

World news
Syria's prime minister began planning his break from the regime two months ago when Bashar Assad offered him the post and an ultimatum: Take the job or die.
The full scope of Riad Hijab's carefully executed flight to the rebel side - described by an aide who escaped with him to Jordan - reverberated Monday through Syria's leadership.
Hijab became the highest-ranking government official to defect, emboldening the opposition and raising fresh questions about the regime's ability to survive the civil war.
Although Assad has been hit by a string of embarrassing defections of military and political figures, they have yet to cause visible changes in the regime's abilities on the battlefield.
The loss of high-profile government officials, however, suggests fissures are reaching deeper into the ruling system and could force Assad to retreat further behind a cadre of loyalists as fighting flares on several fronts.
''Every defection is another door closed for Assad and another one open for the rebels,'' said Mustafa Alani, an analyst at the Gulf Research Center based in Geneva.
''It may not be the tipping point for the regime, but each breakaway is another crack.''
Hijab and an entourage of family members were expected to head next to the Gulf state of Qatar, a key backer of the Syrian rebels, in a further sign of the regional brinksmanship and gambits over Assad's fate.
Gulf states and Turkey have strongly backed the rebel forces while Assad has counted on support from a dwindling list of allies such as Iran and Russia.
Ahmad Kassim, a senior official with the rebel Free Syrian Army, initially said Hijab defected along with three other ministers, then later said two other ministers had left.
However, Hijab's spokesman, Mohammad Otari, said he fled the country alone. Hijab's defection is a humiliating blow for Assad after a string of generals and ambassadors has peeled away.
Like nearly all prominent defectors so far, Hijab is a member of Syria's majority Sunnis - the Muslim sect which forms the bedrock of the more than 17-month uprising. His break suggests that elements of the Sunni elite - long a pillar of Assad's rule - could be growing uneasy with the relentless bloodshed and the hardline policies of Assad's minority Alawite community, which dominates the regime's inner circle.
The Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shiite Islam. In Washington, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said ''the Assad regime is crumbling from within'' and predicted ''Assad's days are numbered.''
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to arrive in Turkey later this week for meetings on Syria. French Foreign Minister cited Hijab's break as evidence ''of a regime that's losing support through its choice of armed violence'' in a conflict that has claimed at least 19,000 lives.
A statement from French President Francois Hollande said the country was dispatching military surgeons to the Syria-Jordan border, where more than 120,000 Syrian refugees have crossed since the conflict began.
The Syrian regime has suffered a series of setbacks over the past month that point to a loosening of its grip on the country.
Four of the president's top security aides were killed in a rebel bombing of state security headquarters in the capital Damascus on July 18, including the defence minister and Assad's brother in law.
There has been a steady stream of high-level defections from diplomats to generals. And the regime has been unable to fully subdue rebel challenges in the two major cities, Damascus and Aleppo.
Just hours before word of the defection got out, Assad suffered another blow in his attempt to portray he is in control: A bomb ripped through the third floor of the state TV building in Damascus, wounding at least three employees and displaying the ability of rebels to strike in the heart of the capital.
But power remains closely held within Assad's inner circle and even posts such as the prime minister have limited clout.
Hijab's departure will not immediately undercut the regime's ability to fight rebels in places such as Aleppo, Syria's largest city, which it has pounded with gunners and warplanes.
Hijab was long a loyalist of Assad's Baath party, rising through the ranks to become agriculture minister last year. After elections in June, Hijab was picked as the new prime minister.
About that time, though, his loyalties began to shift and a plan to flee began to take shape, Otari told The Associated Press in Amman, Jordan. ''The criminal Assad pressed him to become a prime minister and left him no choice but to accept the position.
He had told him: 'You either accept the position or get killed,''' said Otari, who told the AP that Hijab and his family planned to travel on from Amman to Qatar.
''The prime minister defected from the regime of killing, maiming and terrorism. He considers himself a soldier in the revolution,'' the aide said. David Hartwell, a Mideast analyst at IHS Jane's think tank in London, said the months of reported preparation to defect opens the possibility that Hijab could have been in touch with rebels before his appointment as prime minister.
He said that could ''point to a serious breakdown in inner-regime security.'' Syria's official SANA news agency said the Cabinet held an emergency session hours after a replacement was named for Hijab.
Meanwhile, in a rebel base just near the Turkish border, fighters celebrated the news of Hijab's defection even as their forces faced withering attacks in Aleppo.
''If the people who are benefiting from the regime are defecting, then this shows that it is living its last days,'' a fighter who identified himself as Abu Ahmad told the AP by telephone from the northeastern Syrian town of Jarablous.
''Every time our youth hear that an officer or an official defected, it boosts their morale.'' George Sabra, a spokesman for the opposition Syrian National Council, said Hijab is a symbol of the state and added that he expected his desertion to usher in a chain of others. '
'He has finally discovered that this regime is an enemy of its own people and is destined to fall, and he chose to join the ranks of those who defected before him,'' Sabra told AP.
''This will trigger a chain of other defections by Syrian senior government and security officials,'' he added.
''The Syrian regime is drowning, and this is the clearest sign yet.'' Syria's rebels have grown increasingly bold and capable in recent months. In July, the rebels and Syrian regime forces fought intense battles for a week in Damascus in what was the opposition fighters' biggest challenge so far in the capital.
In a brazen daylight attack, rebels commandeered a bus and snatched 48 Iranians just outside Damascus on Saturday. Iran said those abducted were pilgrims who were visiting a shrine about six kilometres south of Damascus and were on their way to the airport to return home.
But the captors claimed in a video broadcast Sunday that one of the captives was an officer of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and that the 48 were on a ''reconnaissance mission'' for Assad's close allies in Tehran.

A robber wielding a baseball bat hit two Wauwatosa dry-cleaning businesses within a matter of minutes Friday evening.
According to Wauwatosa police:
A man said he was picking up clothes at Martinizing Dry Cleaning, 6737 Milwaukee Ave., at 6:39 p.m., but a search in the computer showed no orders in his name. When the clerk told him that, he walked around the counter and showed a wooden bat. He said, "This is a robbery. Give me all your money or I'll smack you with this bat."
He fled with the money before officers arrived.
As police started their investigation of that robbery, they received a call that Master Dry Cleaners, 6326 W. Blue Mound Road, had been hit.
The man again gave the same name and showed a baseball bat when the clerk could not find his order. She tried to call 911, but the robber came at her.
After a struggle, he ran out the door, apparently without taking any money.

For more information, photos, and reviews check out the Conch'd Out website
The Ashcraft family ( Father and three sons)purchased the property in 1995 and built the house and cottage in 1999. Since then we have enjoyed Conch'd Out with family and friends and rent the property to allow others to appreciate the beauty of the location and enjoy the island of Eleuthera.
Gary Ashcraft purchased this house in 1995
The Ashcraft family spent many years cruising the Bahamas , fell in love with Eleuthera, and decided to jointly buy and build a home.
Conch'd Out is uniquely located in the middle of Eleuthera on a small coral point and slightly elevated. There is access to beaches on each side of the point. A Palapa is located on the tip of the point-allowing spectacular 270 + degree views up and down the coastline.
Carla and I couldn't have been happier with the entire trip. It truly was a dream come true. I had been wanting to visit Conch'd Out for over 2 years, since the first time I found It online. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Rita and Drew were incredibly welcoming, sweet and helpful. They took a personal interest in making sure Carla and I were having the time of our lives.
The home was beautiful and couldn't have had a more breath taking view. It was well supplied with everything you would want to live there as if it were your own home.
A special thanks to Craig for squeezing us in on such short notice. You allowed Carla and I the opportunity to create some incredible memories we will not soon forget. We plan on coming back soon to create even more...
Property was great and exactly as described. Beach was beautiful and very private (only saw one other family a couple of times). Andrew was there for us when we needed him... would definitely return again (but with better bug screen for the no-see-ums!).
Great house in a great location!
We absolutely loved both Eleuthera and Conch'd Out. You have a gem, as you know. The beaches are beyond compare and the lack of density of people makes you feel like you almost have the whole island to yourself. Wonderful! We believe the combination of view, pounding waves to lull you to sleep, access and privacy of the beach, screened in living area and kitchen that lives like a lanai, etc. made for the best combination of benefits we've experienced, and we've been fortunate to travel quite a bit including to Hawaii, Costa Rica, the Keys, etc. One in our group in his early 70's commented the trip was 'First page of the memory book. First page!'. Thanks again for an absolutely wonderful property, the pre-trip planning information, and dining advice. All spot-on.
First of all we would like to thank Andrew for his warm welcome. We really enjoyed our stay in Conch`d Out. The property is located on a small peninsula with 2 beaches (morning sun and evening sun). The house is well equipped with everything you need for a nice time. we stayed there with our family, and even our son (7 months) enjoyed the stay. An important advise would be to bring insect repellant, as the no see ums can be really annoying. Greetings from Switzerland, Michael
We loved our stay at Conch'd Out! The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. There are fantastic views from inside the comfort of the house as well as the breezy palapa nestled among the palm trees on the point. We stayed in the main house with 4 adults and 4 children (ages 6 – 9) and there was plenty of room and lots to do. The caretakers, Andrew and Reta, were always available and helpful with booking fishing trips, finding restaurants (gotta have the cracked conch!), and finding basically anything we needed.
During our stay we visited many beaches on both the Carribbean and Atlantic sides of the island (Papaw, Cocodimama, Club Med, Whiteland, Lighthouse). All were beautiful, but my favorite beach was the one right outside of our house! The beach was smooth pink sand, perfect for building sandcastles, lounging and swimming. The water was clear and calm. We were even visited one afternoon by two dolphins that swam around our children playing in the water! Snorkeling on the reef at the house was spectacular - the colorful coral was interesting in shape and there was a huge variety of beautiful reef fish. We also saw conch, lobster, sea urchins, sea anenomes, crabs, sea slugs and other interesting sea life all within swimming distance from the house. We appreciated the kayaks and beach chairs that were available for our use.
Fresh fish is available at the dock in Governor's Harbour near Norma's Gift Shop mid-day most days. We cooked most of our meals during our stay (the kitchen had everything we needed). We stopped by the Bluffs Grocery Store near the North Eleuthera Airport on our way in to load up on food (there is more variety and better prices here than at the local stores in Governour's Harbour and Palmetto Point… there is also a larger store in Rock Sound, but it was closed when we drove by). There were plenty of great restaurants nearby if you are not into cooking. We recommend the poolside bar/restaurant at Sky Beach on Fridays – say hello to Sammy if you go! He is full of great stories.
I would absolutely recommend Conch'd Out! My daughter cried when we left she was so sad to leave. We are already planning our next visit!
We have stayed here several times and I have to say, this place never lets us down! The water is so crystal clear, the beaches are beautiful and it is such an amazing place to create memories! Whether you go for a walk on the beach, a snorkel or have a drink under the palapa, this place is heaven!
The house is well maintained and stocked with everything you need to make this your home away from home. The views are awesome from every room in the house, both with fantastic views of the ocean and beautiful landscaping.
Andrew and Rita were great, as we have come to expect from our stays there! They are such wonderful people and are so welcoming, helpful and a joy to be around.
We rented paddleboards (we found a place at the buccaneer in Governors Harbor who delivered and picked it up!) and had a great time. The kayaks were awesome, too!
As always, we enjoy eating at Tippy's for great music and an island feel and have recently discovered 1648, a great place to eat, awesome service with more of a resort feel.
We would definitely recommend Conch'd Out to anyone who is looking for a quiet, serene place to unwind with family and friends!
Conch'd Out is easily accessible- just one hour by air from Miami or Fort Lauderdale to Governor's Harbour (GHB) airport or North Eleuthera airport (ELH) . Our comfortable and well-maintained home is right on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the world. This location makes a perfect playground for children of any age. You can enjoy exploring the fascinating coral reefs just offshore, catch a fish or spear a lobster for your dinner, enjoy world-class bone fishing, or charter a boat for deep-sea fishing. Two 2-person kayaks are provided for your enjoyment.
The people of Eleuthera are extremely friendly and hospitable. The island has many interesting places to visit and deserted beaches to explore. Conch'd Out, in North Palmetto Point, is located mid-island, cutting down on the time and expense of gas when sightseeing. And our attentive local caretakers, Andrew and Reta Bethel, will make sure that your Bahamas holiday is a memorable one.

Two teens + a handful of dusty summer nights in Florida. Written for the Requiem contest on figment.com.
I'm woken in the middle of a muggy Floridian dream by pebbles bouncing off of my windowpane. I get up from my bed and make my way to the window, and there she is. Barefoot, that old bike of hers lying in the driveway, back wheel still spinning.
She beckons. Come on down.
I hold up a finger for her to wait, pulling on my sneakers. In moments, I'm tying back my hair as I make my way down stairs. Years of sneaking down after midnight as a kid have burned the map of creaks in the stairs into my memory.
Mattie's waiting for me right outside. She's wearing the same clothes as yesterday: black tee, grey soccer shorts, hemp necklace that I made for her last month.
I take her hand. "What's new with you tonight?" I whisper.
She shrugs. "I thought it'd be a good night for the haystacks." Her eye twinkles.
I nod, and together we pick up her bike, wheeling it up behind my house and along the path cutting behind my backyard. The heat is thick and smooth, and I move through it as if in a dream, my hand resting on Mattie's as we push her bike through the grass. In minutes, the path has opened off into a field; it's alive with the night and the sounds of insects, but here, the only humans on earth are us. Mattie and me.
And of course, off to the side, there are the haystacks. Five identical mounds rising taller and smoother than my grandpa's wood pile. Mattie leans her bike against the first, brushing off her hands. "Want to climb?"
"Sure." I find a foothold, and we scramble up to the top, hay scratching our hands and knees.
You can see the whole world from up here; the vastness of the field, striped with corn and wheat and grasses; the lights spraying out from the new town that's being built a few miles off; the moon swimming in the sky. It's so perfect; it always is. If only everything was like this.
Mattie looks at me, taking my hand. "Hey. Lace. Something on your mind?"
I sigh. "My aunt Kim. She..." I cut myself off.
Mattie bites her lip. "She's been bothering you again?"
"Yeah." I let out a huff of air. "Mattie, she knows. I'm sure she does."
"About you and me?"
"No, just... me."
"Oh. Oh. You aren't out yet, are you?"
"Not since I last checked. You know my family. They're so damn homophobic. And Kim. She keeps dropping hints, you know?"
"Believe me. I know."
I feel like crying. "Yeah."
Mattie put an arm around me. "Hey," she says gently. "When she's dead, we'll do it on her grave."
I tense up. "What?"
"It was a joke. God. Sorry, Lace." She pauses. "The part about your aunt dying, I mean. The other part was completely serious."
I blush. I can't help it. "I'm not opposed to the idea. Just so you know." She squeezes my hand. "But not, like, right now..." I add.
"Don't worry," Mattie says. "We've got all our lives."
I smile at her, and we kiss right there on the top of the world.
Mattie wakes me for the second time that night with a whisper. "Almost dawn, Lace. You need to be getting back." Her hair tickles my neck.
I sit up, brushing the hay off of my back. The moonlight casts shadows on her face, spilling over her nose, her lips. I get to my feet and climb carefully down from the haystack. Mattie's straddling her bike already, bare toes curling over the peddles. I rest a hand on hers. "Hey," I say. "Same time, same place, tomorrow night?"
Mattie gives a half smile. "Sounds like a plan."
I'm waiting outside my house at just past eleven the next night when she coasts in on her bike. Soon, we're heading silently up the path to the field. I'm giddy; hopefully the darkness is enough to hide my blushing. Mattie hums a fragment of a song under her breath.
We lay on top of the haystack for ages. It's time enough for me to count all the stars in Mattie's eyes, and then again. Time enough for me to taste my words a thousand times in my mouth before I let them out. "Mattie?"
She blinks. Smiles. "Yeah?"
"I'm going to tell them tomorrow."
Mattie sits up. "Wow. Are you sure?"
I nod. "Yeah, I've thought about it a lot."
Mattie searches my face. "You'd better be careful, Lacey."
"I can handle it. Matilda."
She groans. "God. I know you can handle it, just... you don't exactly live in a rainbow-friendly family."
"Whatever." I pause. "How did your dad react? When you told him."
She shrugs. "It wasn't a big deal. He figured it out on his own, honestly." She smiles wryly. "I guess I'm pretty obvious." Her tone turns serious again. "Just... be cautious. Make it easy on them."
We sit back for a while and just watch the stars drifting across the sky. But after a few minutes — or a few hours — we've slid close together and the stars are in her eyes again, and we're kissing in a tangle of hair and soft skin and dreams. And like always, our night is coming to a close with kisses.
I hope that never changes.
The next morning, I'm surprised to see aunt Kim in the kitchen, measuring flour. My conversation with Mattie last night comes flooding back like a wave. This is the day that I come out.
Kim looks up at me. "Morning, Lacey." She turns away to sift flour into her bowl.
I gulp. She knows. I jam my hands in my pockets and walk into the other room. I have to do this soon. Get it over with.
But somehow, I end up waiting after all. I run the words over my tongue the whole time that I'm eating my breakfast, doing my chores, wading through the plastic pool that my little sisters set up to play in. By the time that my mom is starting to talk about peeling herself off of her lawn chair to make dinner, I've worked up a knot of worry in my stomach the size of a grapefruit.
It has to be now.
I walk slowly across the lawn to my parents. "Mom. Dad." I cough. "I have something to tell you."
"Shoot," my dad says.
My throat constricts. I open my mouth. "I'm... I'm gay."
My mom is the first to speak. "You're joking, right." I don't say anything. "Some sick joke."
"No. No, mom, I'm a lesbian."
My dad rises slowly. "Are you sure?"
Are you sure? Are you sure? "Positive. I've known my whole life."
"What?" Mom shouts. "I thought I raised you right! You couldn't have..."
I turn off my eyes, my ears, my mind. I might as well be dead.
I drag myself outside that night to meet Mattie, head aching. She frowns when she sees me. "Lace, how did it go?"
I stare ahead dully. "Well, I was right about one thing." I sigh. "I live in a family of homophobes."
Mattie puts an arm gently around my shoulders. "I'm sorry, Lace," she says. "I'm sorry."
"And yeah," I continue. "Kim already knew. Turns out she read my journal."
"She didn't."
We're silent for a while, just letting the crickets crowd in and fill the gaps in our conversation as we wheel Mattie's bike up behind my house and along the path. After several minutes, I speak. "My mom doesn't want me."
"What? She kicked you out?" Mattie gasps.
"She says if I'm not out by Sunday, she'll push me out."
"God. That's awful. I... I wish I could say you could move in with me. I wish I could say that so much."
"I know. I know." My voice cracks. "I guess I'll work something out..."
"Hey. It's going to be all right." Mattie sets her bike down and puts her arms around me. Her hair smells like coconut. "We still have the haystacks, don't we?"
I choke out a laugh. "Words of wisdom."
Together, we pick up her bike, wheeling it the last twenty yards before the treeline breaks off. But just before we reach the edge of the field, I sense something's different.
The rows of corn and wheat have been scraped cleanly away, hacked off at the roots and tossed carelessly in a huge slaggy heap where the haystacks used to be.
Where the haystacks used to be.
I catch my breath. "Mattie..."
She grips my arm. "I know. I saw." She turns to look at a shiny, understated sign that's been hammered into the ground at the edge of the field.
Coming soon: Rite-Aid Pharmacy. With Us, It's Personal.
I reach for Mattie's hand. "Let's go."
We leave the field and what remains of our haystacks behind in the dust.

I think he means take plastic from one of these:
And then glue it on to the aluminum.
I was thinking electrical tape myself... depends on whether or not it will be seen, I guess.

I do have to say that I am very impressed with how you keep lining up the grain on your pieces, I am jealous of your dads shop I used to work in my grandfathers shop he had all kinds of tools. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the explanation Mosquito

Update of the week (actually the last week, I am a bit late on this one)
So last week I received the CPU, it was time to assemble and test the configuration (even if I still miss the SSD and GPU).
First step: mount the processor.
That was the easy step.
Second step: mount the Hyper 612s.
I screwed the two fixations on the heatsink base:
then mounted the heatsink on the motherboard and tightened it with the backplate.
And here it is:
In the rush I forgot to plug the DDR3. Fortunately, the fan can be removed from the heatsink very easily.
I plugged the PSU, HDD, keyboard, mice and screen:
and it boot. or not. It scared me while I was trying to figure out what was wrong. Hopefully it was just the power switch which was dead so I just striped its wire to get a direct contact and it finally boot.
I installed Seven on the HDD to check if everything runs fine.
I still need to install the drivers and some updates and then I will do some benchmark and stress test (mainly to check CPU temperature).
Later on saturday I worked a bit on the case. The front panel cover gluing process is a success:
I started to create the plexiglas cover for the leds. I made it in a cut:
I also made the two missing rectangular holes for the leds and power switch:
The led holes is done:
but I was not able to made the last hole. The cover slipped again from my fingers and broke again (at the same location as the first time).
I glued it again with the same method. I will finish next saturday.
Thanks for reading, next update in a few days.

Update of the week:
Last saturday I finally managed to finish the integration of the front apnel along with the power switch and the state leds. Here is the piece of wood, front:
and back:
In its final position with the power switch, the plexiglas leds cover and the front panel:
There is still some finishing that I will have to do after I stuck it on the flank.
I had not much time to work on my mod this week-end, beside the panel cover I only had time to test the PSU fitting and the GPU holder:
Underneath view of the PSU:
That's all until next week-end.

Update of the week!
This saturday I finished three points of the mod: the fixations of the PSU, the fixations of the motherboard tray and the fixations of the DVD reader.
To fix the PSU on the wood structure, I used one of the screw that hold the PSU cover (obviuously not the one voiding the warranty ):
This way the PSU is scewed from underneath:
To complete the PSU fixing, I also used two of the rear fixing holes:
The PSU is now firmly screwed on the wood, it is time to fix the motherboard tray.
It is screwed at the back on the PSU and fixed in the front on the wood (both sides of the 120mm fan).
I drilled:
And then taped the aluminium sheet:
The two screws at the front fit in a insert in the wood (they are not screwed). Here is the final result of the motherboard tray:
Last thing finished this saturday is the DVD reader fiaxtion. for this task I used an aluminium sheet and a small block of aluminium:
First step, I cut the sheet to make it fit the back of the DVD:
Second step, I cut, filed and drilled the block. I screwed it at the back of the DVD (with M2x15 screws).
I drill the sheet and then put it in position to drill the block:
Then I taped it:
And the result all back in position:
I screwed the sheet on the block and tightened it to drill the wood:
Finally I put the M4 inserts in the wood:
That's al until next week .
Thanks for reading (and forgive my spelling mistakes).

I like the idea of brushed aluminum, but instead of the binder idea, why not the 3M Carbon Fiber Di-Noc film? I think it would look classy with the wood
Regardless, this is a fantastic build

Thanks for your comment.
I thought of applying carbon fibre on the cover instead of rough brushed aluminium, but I rather stick to aluminium.
The "binder idea" is just for the GPU holder where I have to insulate the GPU from the aluminium sheet and it won't be visible.

Big update for the HyperMod:
The very good news of the week is that I got sponsored by Kingston for this project.
Kingston put at my disposal a SSD HyperX 3k 240GB!!
I would like to thanks them for their support and confidence in my project.
Here si the SSD:
Unpacking it:
I received the "Upgrade kit" version, which contains:
-the SSD
-3.5" HyperX mounting bracket
-external USB SSD enclosure
-Sata cable
-HyperX screwdriver
-Acronis True Image software disc
I will try to test this SSD soon
Let's see what I did this saturday:
I drilled the bottom and the flanks to add pegs:
In order to add some strenght to the structure, I added a crossbeam at the back, also fixed with pegs:
Here is the final position for the pegs:
And the definitive structure:
I had a last operation to make to the bottom:
I made a pocket to give some room to the GPU:
The wood structure is now almost finished, I just have to glue it and paint/varnish it!
Two weeks ago I made some OCCT stress tests on the CPU to check its temperature.
In a room at 18.5°C, with the stock 120mm at 700rpm, the die package did not exceed 48°C.
With no fan at all (fully passive), motherboard layed horizontally:
The test failed due to too high temperature (package exceed 75°C).
With no fan at all (fully passive), motherboard layed vertically:
The test passed though the CPU was very hot (cores were between 66°C and 71°C). But it is feasible to cool a Core I5 3450S with fully passive Hyper 612S!
Unfortunnately I need my heatsink horizontal :/.
I spent a lot of time thinking how to cool the CPU with a non visible fan, because I wanted the heatsink to look fanless. As it is the masterpiece of the mod, it has a huge importance!
I thougt about milling the Heatsink to integrate a 92mm fan but there was not enough space. Then I thought about using a slim 100mm, but it was to hard to integrate (I did not find a proper way to mill a 100mm deep pocket in the heatsink).
Finally, I made a third test with a 50mm fan layed on the top of the heatsink (after I removed the two upper fins). The fan produces about 5CFM airflow.
And it is enough to cool the CPU! But 50mm is still too big, so I will go with a 40mm fan.
In order to integrate the fan, I first had to drill a vertical hole in the heatsink:
I used a drill press and a step drill bit for this task.
Here is the result:
It is pretty clean:
Second step was to make a 40x40x10mm pocket at the top of the heatsink for the fan.
I am gonna use this ADDA fan.
I started to cut the heatsink fin by fin:
Then again it was a real brain teaser to find the better way to proceed. I tought about building a punch, using a hacksaw, using my Dremel as a milling machine...
But the easier solution is the simplest. I used a cutter!
I made a scratch on the fin with the cutter and it was then possible to tear it cleanly (fins are only 0.3mm thick).
And most of all, it was quick! Here is the final result:
The cuts are not all very clean but they are invisible from the sides:
I just miss the fan (it's in a plane between Honk-Kong and France right now) and I will be able to finish the heatsink.
Last thing I did this week-end: I finally experiment the final design of the mod, with the heatsink in position:
I definitively love it! and you?
That's all for the week
@brianwhite: yep, the mod is in good way to be finished in time !

Hello folks,
I haven't updated this log since a while because I had no time to work on the mod
Good news is that I received all the cables and connectors to do the wiring. Plus the GPU is on its way to my mailbox (it's a MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr II).
The mod should be finished by the end of the month.
See you next week for new updates .

Short résumé of the work I did this week:
I started the cabling:
1st step: remove the inscriptions from the cables:
Rubbing them with acetone is the quickest way to do it
Then stripping, setting of connector and filing in housing. One done, four to go:
Five done:
And the first Sata cable is ready:
Test fit: (the cable is below the motherboard tray, it powers the SSD)
This week I received the last piece of the puzzle:
So here is the complete rig:
I was also able to test the PCIe riser with the GPU. On first boot it didn't worked
Past the POST, the screen shut down at Windows Seven start.
I had to insulate the riser with aluminium to get it work:
I now need to find a proper way to make this insulation.

I dig the work. Really just love the idea of the exposed heatsink, and mixed with wood makes it just perfect. Glad you got that working.
For the cable, could you just cut up a electrostatic bag (like they ship motherboards and graphics cards in) to make a sleeve and slip that around the cable? I don't know if they protect against RF, but it could be worth trying. Otherwise, they do make aluminum duct tape. You could use that and insulate with plastic vinyl adhesive sheets, or electrical tape.
I am surprised they didn't include some kind of shielding into the design.

I was also surprised not to have a EMC shield on the riser
I paid it about 35 because I wouldn't want to buy the cheapest you can find on ebay but I was wrong
The electrostatic bag idea worth a try
Otherwise I will try to properly stick some aluminium foil (usually used in the kitchen) with double face tape.
Here is the summary of what I did this week end:
First thing that I did was to finish the GPU holder:
I add some aesthetic cut and a crimped nut. The nut and sandpapering were added after the photo was taken, sorry
Then I stuck the wood structure. First, the front panel wood cover:
And secondly the whole structure:
After the gluing process and some sandpapering, here is the result for the bottom:
And the front panel: (that took me so many hours)
Another point that I finished is the CPU heatsink.
I integrated the 40mm fan directly on the second-to-last fin:
To make the fan breath, I cut the CollerMaster logo of the fin. The fan is fixed with 4 M3 screws and home-made silentblocs.
With the fan-fin assembled on the heatsink:
And with the last fin, the fan is invisible:
I just have to modify the fan cables (to integrate a resistance to undervolt it) and wire them through the heatsink.
Very soon some updates for the cables (under constructions)

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 14, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas igious focus Hvrald-Zfltung Friday, June 14,1985 BA Fundamentalists gain power By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP religion writer DALLAS — A huge, pivotal and sometimes stormy Southern Baptist Convention has ended, leaving a fundamentalist wing more firmly entrenched and moderates thrown on the defensive. But both sides expressed hopes Thursday for calmer, friendlier times ahead through the work of a newly established "peace committee" representing both sides, to dig into causes of the rift and recommend ways to mend it. The severity of the division showed up in the last 24 hours of the three-day meeting as the moderate wing strove without avail to stop a fundamentalist drive toward growing power over the country's largest Protestant body. But attempted interventions, both Wednesday night and Thursday, were firmly squelched by rulings by the re-elected, fundamentalist president, the Rev. Charles Stanley of Atlanta. At the close, he voiced appreciation for the patience of the "messengers," numbering twice as many as at any convention in the denomination's 148-year history, and added: "If I have offended anyone in any way, I ask forgiveness. I did the best I know how for 45,000 messengers." He had rankled some of the moderates, many of whom complained of arbitrary, and even bylaws-breaking rulings from the chair that had stymied moderate floor efforts and solidified fundamentalist advances. "We believe in the right to speak and we do not believe in dictatorship in the U.S.S.R., Cuba or on the platform of this convention,"' protested the Rev. William Johnson of Denton, Texas, before he was quickly ruled out of order. Several others also were summarily cut off in trying to challenge procedures of the night before by which approval was obtained of a committee, determined through the president's appointive powers. That committee picks trustees governing the denomination's 20 national agencies and institutions, with estimated assets of more than $2 billion, and with annual budgets totalling $130 million. The fundamentalist w«rg, through a declared strategy, has sought to achieve sway over the national agencies, including seminaries, through winning the presidency and its appointive powers. Fundamentalists charge moderates take a liberal approach to interpretations of the Bible and want them curbed in denominatinal institutions. But moderates deny the charge, calling it a mask for a political takeover effort. In any case, fundamentalists strengthened their hold on the denomination, with re-election of Stanley and convention approval of two of his key committees with broad powers, despite some disputed votes. In a Wednesday night vote that approved the powerful trustee-naming committee on boards, the registrar, I^ee Porter, said he had received numerous reports of extra ballots being passed out, but had no way to verify it. Moderates attempted unsuccessfully to challenge procedures before that vote in which Stanley ruled that the convention could not make substitutions. Moderates, despite their setbacks, kept a strong toehold in the denominational affairs, with election of two moderates as vice presidents. They included hts challenger for the presidency, the Rev. Winfred Moore of Amarillo, and attorney Henry Huff of Louisville. It was Moore who helped quell a persistent wave of complaints by moderates to some of Stanley's rulings, telling the convention with subtly two-edged implications . "Those who know me know there are many things I don't like. But more than disliking anything, I love this convention. I believe we are on the way...to healing whatever breaches we have in our fellowship. I plead for the sake of God's kingdom, let's do it and let's do it now." Church selects minister Bill Wiley of Sherman will be assuming duties as minister of New Braunfels Church of Christ. He replaces Denny Calloway, who has left the ministry to accept a position with a business management firm in Ocala, Fla. Calloway was minister of the church for almost two years. Before accepting the position in New Braunfels, Wiley was minister of the Woods Street Church of Christ in Sherman for 16 years. He also served as minister in Coleman, Burkett, Waco, Dallas, Falfurrias and Monmouth, 111. He has been a teacher at Texoma Bible Institute in Sherman and was a graduate assistant at Abilene Christian University while working on a masters degree in Bible. Wiley has a bachelor and a masters degree from Abilene Christian. For the past 20 years, he has been a marriage and family life counselor along with his ministerial duties. He is immediate past president of the Sherman Noon lions Club and has been a member of the club's board of director for IO years. He is a former district director of the lionsBriefly Graham optimistic about future One local minister is optimistic after the closing of the Southern Baptist convention in Dallas. Dr. Gordon Graham, pastor of First Baptist Church, was one of 45,000 to attend the meeting. Fundamentalist and moderate factions waged a battle of votes from the election of fundamentalist president Rev. Charles Stanley to appointments of the committee to name trustees for denominational institutions. After Stanley's electon, a peace committee representing fundamentalists and moderates was approved to look into the causes of the conflict within the denomination. * "Personally, I think Stanley deserved a second chance," said Graham. "I feel good about it and most of the people I talked to feel the same way." When Winfred Moore was nominated as vice president of the denomination that is the largest Protestant group, it "was the first step toward ending, the controversy," said Graham who has served on the board for Baylor University with Moore. After the earlier peaceful gestures, the convention again experienced a troubling time, when Stanley's slate for the committee to name trustees for the denominations institutions "We would have had to re-do the by-laws. I think the parliamentarian ruled correctly," said Graham Graham summed up his feelings about the meeting by saying Baptists should take the lead from Stanley's closing message "It was a message of family. And families have problems but they can solve these problems They can be solved through forgiveness, humility and confession."BILL WILEY Crippled Children's Camp at Kerrville and a former director of the Sherman chapter of Girls Clubs of America. He now serves as a director of the Pettijohn Springs Christian Camp at Madill, Okla. A native of Marlin, Wiley is married to Majorie Nell and the family includes two daughters, Mary Elizabeth, a junior at Abilene Christian University, and Julie Dell, a recent graduate of Sherman High School.

As the countdown continues to the Presidential election, new analytical tools by physicists at The City College of New York promise a quicker and remarkably accurate method of predicting election trends with Twitter.
Hern´an A. Makse, Alexandre Bovet and Flaviano Morone have developed analytic tools combining statistical physics of complex networks, percolation theory, natural language processing and machine learning classification to infer the opinion of Twitter users regarding the Presidential candidates this year.
"Forecasting opinion trends from real-time social media is the long-standing goal of modern-day big-data analytics," said Makse, a Fellow of the American Physical Society. "Despite its importance, there has been no conclusive scientific evidence so far that social media activity can capture the opinion of the general population at large."
However, by using a large-scale dataset of 73 million tweets collected from June 1 to September 1, 2016, Makse and his associates are able to investigate the temporal social networks formed by the interactions among Twitter users.
"We infer the support of each user to the presidential candidates and show that the resulting Twitter trends follow the New York Times National Polling Average, which represents an aggregate of hundreds of independent traditional polls, with remarkable accuracy (r = 0.9)," Makse said. More importantly, for the CCNY team, the Twitter opinion trend forecasts the aggregated Times polls by 6 to 15 days, showing that Twitter can be an early warning signal of global opinion trends at the national level.
"Our analytics, which are available at kcorelab.com, unleash the power of Twitter to predict social opinion trends from elections, brands to political movements. Our results suggest that the multi-billion public opinion polling industry could be replaced by Twitter analytics performed practically for free," concluded Makse.

The City College of the City University of New York (known more commonly as the City College of New York or simply City College, CCNY, or colloquially as City) is a senior college of the City University of New York (CUNY), in New York City.
It is also the oldest of the City University's twenty-three institutions of higher learning. City College's thirty-five acre Manhattan campus along Convent Avenue from 130th Street to 141st Street is on a hill overlooking Harlem; its neo-Gothic campus was mostly designed by George Browne Post, and many of its buildings are landmarks.
CCNY was the first free public institution of higher education in the United States and is considered the flagship campus of the CUNY public university system.
