About Me
I have been modeling for a few years now. I have been in numerous calendars and a few commercials. I have done countless photoshoots.I have also been in many runway shows and have done lots of promotional modeling. I love what I do. I am always punctual and very upbeat and happy during the photoshoots. I can do my own makeup however it needs to be with the exception of fx makeup and I can do my hair. I love what I do and feel very privaleged to be able to model when there are so many beautiful women out there.
I do not shoot nudes. My limit is implied. I am also only taking on paid jobs. I have too much going on right now and have an extensive portfolio that I don't have the need or the time to shoot for trade. The only exception to this is if you have an incredible knock me off my feet idea or if you are a fantastic photogrpaher who would love to do a pin up shoot with me and provide hair, makeup and some wardrobe. That would be awesome!
I am Knock Out Magazine's spokesmodel. Check it out!!!! Its a hot men's magazine that everyone is loving.
I am also a PinUp artist. I paint hot women too. I am always looking for models. If you are interested in being painted, drop me a line. You can see my work at www.myspace.com/hotpieceofart or just go to my top friends and click on Pin Up Artist Nicole and see my alter ego and my pin up work!

Britain's last realistic chance of a second medal at these Olympic Games disappeared yesterday when the men's curlers were beaten 8-6 by the United States in the bronze medal play-off in the Pinerolo Palaghiaccio.
It meant a week that had begun with so much optimism that the team, led by the 27-year-old Lockerbie beef farmer David Murdoch, could become the first British men's champions since 1924 ended in anti-climax.
Yesterday's was Britain's fourth consecutive defeat, including the semi-final against Finland on Wednesday, and it seems inevitable the only medal that Team GB will be taking home will be the silver won by Shelley Rudman in the bob skeleton last week.
"It is hard to take because the chance was there," said Murdoch. "It will be with me for a long time, but I am hoping we will get the chance to bury it at the next Olympics. We wanted to win the bronze-medal match as much as that semi-final and we did everything possible to win, but it didn't go out way.
"We had a sleepless night on Wednesday night but we regrouped and showed a lot of character to come out fighting. We proved there is a lot of fight on this team. It's a fantastic team and we did everything we could and it's a bit of a hard luck story - we just didn't get the breaks in the last couple of games and got caught out."
One moment of humour broke the tension of the match temporarily by what was surely a first for curling - a male streaker. He made his appearance before the sixth end when Britain were 6-2 down. An armed police officer threw the offender into the freezing mountain air without even allowing him to get dressed. "Please will someone bring me my clothes?" said the man in a Scottish accent.
Another Scot, Alain Baxter, hopes to continue healing the wound of being stripped of a slalom bronze in Salt Lake City when he competes in the event again today at Sestriere Colle.
His autobiography is called Unfinished Business, a reference to the surprise medal he won in 2002 that he lost a few days later when he tested positive after using an over-the-counter nasal inhaler. The truth is that it is always likely to remain an open sore because Baxter was harshly treated even by the draconian rules that must govern anti-doping in sport these days.
However success today seems even further away than four years ago. In 14 of his 17 World Cup races since last season Baxter has either failed to finish, has been disqualified for straddling a gate or has not qualified inside the top 30 after his first run. At a Europa Cup warm-up event in Madesimo this week the 32-year-old crashed out again 10 gates from the end.
"Since Salt Lake he just hasn't been in form. He has been really struggling," said Franz Klammer, Austria's 1976 downhill champion. "You need to have consistency in slalom. I can't see him suddenly finding him form on Saturday - he has not been up there all season."
Sympathy still abounds for Baxter within the skiing world - in stark contrast to the revulsion felt by the same people at the alleged antics of the Austrian cross-country and biathlon teams.
"He did nothing wrong and he never deserved to lose the bronze after working so hard to get it," Klammer added. "But, unfortunately, I'm not the governing body."
Baxter has largely avoided what could have turned into a media circus here by keeping a low profile. "The truth is I've never been one for hype," he said. "At all the Olympics I've been to, I've never been near an opening ceremony, or anything like that."
The Aviemore skier has maintained a diplomatic silence on what happened to him in Salt Lake City. He may sometimes come across as dour but by nature he must be an optimist if his own assessment of his chances here are any guide. "I still class myself as one of the best in the world," he said. "I have the ability, fitness and technique. I am ready now and can't wait to get on with it. I am really looking forward to it because I know I'm skiing well."
Christian Schwaiger, Britain's head skiing coach, said that with Baxter "everything is possible, from a very good performance to almost nothing. His problems in World Cup have nothing to do with equipment or technique. It's confidence missing on race day."
Baxter, meanwhile, is clinging to the hope that, as the most unpredictable of the Alpine events, anything can happen in slalom. "You have to be relaxed to perform but you have to be fired up to attack," he added. "It's a strange sport."
Baxter knows that better than most.

It's a cake! A Seattle Mariners cake!
I suspect a piping bag was used!
Let us pair this delicious Duncan Hines foodstuff with a quote from Franz Kafka!
"One of the first signs of the beginnings of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate."
What if the cake is poisoned! Turns out, it matters not.

It is 40 minutes of bliss. Sitting in an open carriage being pulled behind a narrow-gauge steam engine up a beautiful valley towards England's tallest mountain, buzzards circling overhead, fern covered fells rising on either side, forest here and there, the distinctive Herdwick sheep grazing in drystone-walled fields. You trundle past small hamlets and under bridges where people wave as you pass. The engine toot-toots, announcing its arrival at the next tiny station. Everyone is smiling.
I first went on the seven-mile long Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, known locally as L'Aal Ratty, as a boy with my dad, and my kids have been on it with me. And I can't pretend that the watering of my eyes is just from the smoke. But you don't have to have been brought up nearby to appreciate this gem that runs from the west Cumberland coastal village of Ravenglass inland to Dalegarth.
The railway started as a means of bringing ore down to the Furness railway in 1875 and started taking passengers a year later. Granite then kept it going until the quarries closed in the 1950s. It was heading for extinction until the present owners, a preservation society, bought it at auction in 1960.
Just near the top is a campsite, called Fisherground, and if you ask the guard he will stop the train there. Using the trainline as your transport, there are lots of walks to be had, of varying difficulty. Most of them easy.
Buy a copy of AJ Wainwright's Walks From L'Aal Ratty, a booklet identifying half a dozen rambles that start and finish at various stations. There's one which takes you on the old coffin trail from Wasdale into Eskdale and its church, St Catherine's, a few metres from the crystal clear, but cold waters of the Esk. If you feel brave, there are numerous pools deep enough to swim in and one small bridge that you can jump off. Another takes you up to Eel Tarn, past fellside farmhouses to a lonely spot where the sound of the wind in your ears is all that you will hear.
There are several pubs dotted around the area. A short stroll from Fisherground is the King George IV, a 16th-century coaching inn with robust local cuisine. Walking back along the deserted road on a warm summer evening is a delight.
L'Aal Ratty is a lovely line on which to base a holiday, but be warned: it's all so lovely and green, and the reason for that is that it rains. A lot.

Dental problem has become one of the most common problems in each family today. Both adults and children suffer from various dental diseases. Dental caries is one of the many significant dental problems specially noticed in children. It is an infectious dental disease that harms the teeth of the children. Dental caries can be cured by dentist in Limassol. Some of the financially backward sectors witness maximum dental caries in children.
- What is dental caries?
Dental caries is a communicable and infectious disease found in children. Destruction of teeth is caused by this disease as acid is formed by the bacteria in dental plaque. Dental caries is considered asa dynamic disease process. The balance between pathological and protective factors inside the mouth determines caries reversal or progression. Acidic products of bacterial metabolism demineralize the hard tissue of the teeth. It alternates with the time of remineralization. » Read more..

I notice when I flex chest muscles my breasts feel really hard. Is this normal?
I had mentor textured implants placed in between muscle 5 months ago. I notice when I flex chest muscles my breasts feel really hard. Is this normal? Will it already be this way or will it soften any?
Doctor Answers 1
This can be normal, but you should ask your surgeon
When implants are placed under the muscle, flexing the pectoralis muscles can make the implants feel harder. Factors such as the type of implant and size can also affect how the implants feel. Hopefully the implants feel soft when the muscles are at rest. Nonetheless, it would be best if you have your plastic surgeon examine you to make sure everything is healing appropriately.

text: Chapter 8: Thinking, Language & Intelligence Lectures 12,13,&14 Learning Outcomes • Define thinking and the various concepts involved in thinking. • Describe how language develops. Learning Outcomes • Identify the concepts of intelligence and the in techniques used to measure intelligence. • Describe the controversy surrounding intelligence testing. Truth or Fiction? Only humans can use insight to solve problems. Crying is an early form of language. Truth or Fiction? Young children say things like "Daddy goed away" and "Mommy sitted down" because they do understand rules of grammar. "Street smarts" are a sign of intelligence. Truth or Fiction? Creative people are highly intelligent. Highly intelligent people are creative. Truth or Fiction? Two children can answer exactly the same items on an intelligence test correctly, yet one child can be above average in IQ, and the other can be below average. Intelligence tests measure many things other than intelligence. Thinking 1.

When a Person Has a Problem? • When s/he does not have a direct means of attaining a particular goal What is Problem Solving? • Using the thoughts and actions to move from the current state to the goal state, in other words achieving a desired goal that is not readily attainable, often by devising strategies to overcome obstacles 6. Organization of Subgoals • High school senior decides to become a doctor • First, s/he needs to attain more immediate subgoal: 1). _______ 2)._______ 3).________ 4).________ – Identifying important subgoals is not always easy 7. Trial and Error • An approach to problem solving in which one solution after another is tried in no particular order until the answer is found • Used when we have little or no knowledge relevant to the problem – Students give examples… 8. Algorithms • Specific procedure for solving a type of problem – Yield correct answers if the right formula is used. Any math formula is an example of Alg • Systematic random search (similar to trial and error) – Each possible solution is tested according to a particular set of rules 9. Heuristic • Shortcuts; mental rules of thumb used to solve a problem • Working backwards: Water lilies double the area they cover every 24hours. At the beginning of the summer there is one water lily on a pond. It takes 60days for the pond to become covered with lilies. On what day is the pond half covered? • Means-end analysis (subgroups) – Evaluate and reduce difference between the current situation and goal • Analogies – Refer to a previous problem to solve a new problem Logical reasoning and observation can be used to solve the problem: Play Video Elevator The Elevator Riddle Solution PLAY VIDEO 10. Factors that Affect Problem Solving • Expertise – Experts use parallel processing; novices use serial processing: – how long it will take you to unscramble this word: DNSUO • Mental Sets – Tendency to use an approach that was previously successful with similar problem • Insight – Sudden perception permitting the solution 11. Factors that Affect Problem Solving • Incubation – Stand back from a problem for a while; solution may come in a flash of insight • Functional Fixedness – Tendency to think of an object in terms of its familiar function 12. Heuristics in Decision Making (not covered in class, but will be included in the Quiz) • Representativeness heuristic – Make judgments about events according to the population of events that they appear to represent • Availability heuristic – Estimate of probability is based on examples of relevant events 13. Heuristics in Decision Making (not covered in class, but will be included in the Quiz) • Anchoring and adjustment heuristic – First estimate serves as an anchor – With new information we make adjustments but remain in the proximity of the first estimate 14. Factors that Affect Decision Making (not covered in class, but will be included in the Quiz) • Framing effect – Context in which information is presented affects decision making • Overconfidence – Unaware of flimsiness of assumptions – Work to bring about results that fit our judgments – Forget information counter to our judgment – Self-fulfilling prophecies 15. Class Discussion on The Paradox of Choice • Do you believe the more options you have the better? • Do you find that too much choice can be frustrating? • Satisficers- "good enough" • Maximizers- "the best possible choice" • "Paradox of Choice" might be responsible for cultural shift in the average age when people are settling into jobs and marriage?? • Responsible for depression in modern countries?

What is the difference between Alex's usage of language and human usage? • Apes (Washoe, Sarah, Lana, Nim & Kanzi) – Genetically show some ability to use language – Use of symbols to communicate 2. Apes • Allen & Beatrix Gardner (1969)- Washoe used sign language beginning 1y.o. -160 signs • David Premack (1983) –Sarah mastered notion of similarity and difference, half and whole • Yerkes Primate Research Center (80s)-Lana computer controlled language training "Give apple which is orange) • Kanzi-1300 utterances, 200 geometric symbols • However, Herbert Terrace (1981)-Nim responded according to CC not rules of the language 3.Communication in Other Animals • • • • Whales and dolphins- "in basket," "under basket" Dogs Other "My father was poor but honest" (quoted in Restak, 1988, p.202) 4. Language • A means of Communicating of thoughts and feelings, using a system of socially shared but arbitrary symbols (sounds, signs, or written symbols) arranged according to rules of grammar. 5. Structure of Language • Psycholinguistics-how language is acquired, produced, and used… • Phonemes-the smallest units of sound in a spoken language • Morphemes- the smallest units of meaning • Syntax- specifies the rules for arranging and combining words to form phrases and sentences • Semantics- the meaning derived from morphemes, words, and sentences • Pragmatics- characteristics of spoken language, such as intonation and gestures, that indicate social meaning of utterances. 6. Properties of Language • Infinite creativity – Capacity to create rather than imitate sentences • Displacement – Capacity to communicate in another time or place 7. Language and Cognition • Language is not necessary for thinking • Concepts can be understood without knowing the word for the concept (e.g. roundness) 8. Language and Culture • Linguistic-relativity hypothesis (Whorf (1956)) – Language structures the way we perceive the world • Criticism of linguistic-relativity hypothesis – Images and abstract logical propositions may be used as units of thought – Range of concepts represent priority of the language not cognitive limitation 9. Bilingualism • In other countries the majority of citizens speak two or more language • Advantages of being bilingual: – Metalinguistic skills, the capacity to think about lang. – Ability to learn about the other culture in depth • Disadvantages: – Decreased efficiency memory tasks involving words – But develop compensatory strategies, though respond more slowly • Lose accent – younger than 10 or 11 y. o. 10. Language Development • At the age 17- 80,000 words • From 18 m to 5- 14,000 words, average 9wrds/day • • • • • • • • • 2-3 m- cooing sounds when along 20 weeks- mixes various vowels & consonants w/cooing 6 m- Babbles; utters phonemes of all language 8 m- focuses on phonemes, rhythm, & intonation of native language 12m- say single words; mimics sounds; understand some words 18-20m – uses two word sentences; 50 wrds, overextension 24m- 270 wrds; acquires suffixes & function wrds in a fixed sequence 30m – uses telegraphic speech 36m – begins acquisition of grammar rules; overregulation 11. Language Development • Prelinguistic vocalizations – Crying, cooing, babbling • All children babble the same sounds (even deaf children) – By 9 – 10 months foreign sounds are dropped • First word is spoken about 1 year 12. Development of Grammar • Holophrase (2nd year) – Single words that express complex meanings – "Cookie" means "this is cookie" "I want cookie" "where is cookie?" • Telegraphic speech (30mos), understanding syntax – Two-word sentences – Grammatically correct – Sequence of emergence of various two-word sentences is universal 13. Development of Grammar • Overextension /underextension (18-20m) – Application of a word, on the basis of some feature, to a broader rage of objects than is appropriate ("Daddy") • Overregulation (36m) – Application of regular grammatical rules to irregular verbs and nouns • Between 7- to 9-years – Children realize words can have more than one meaning 14. Nature and Nurture in Language Development • Learning Theory – Imitation and reinforcement, – Social cognitive perspective • Parent serve as models – What is wrong w/these perspectives? • Nativist Approach – Innate factors cause children to attend to and perceive language in certain ways – neurologically prewired – Do not need instructions or reinforcement, only presence of language 15. Nativist Approach to Language Development • Language acquisition device (LAD)- Chomsky – Represents the inborn tendency – Prepares nervous system to learn grammar • Universal grammar • Psycholinguistic theory – Language acquisition involves interaction of environmental influences and inborn tendency to acquire language Interactionist perspective similar to Psycholinguistic theory. Reading to a child is very important for the language development!!! Banishing Bilingualism • Preparation: Ask a student in your class who is bilingual to demonstrate their ability. • For this demonstration, have a student (more if there are more bilingual students) demonstrate their ability in the languages learned. Ask them to talk about when they learned the languages and how it has benefited them. Then present an article found in most libraries titled "Banishing Bilingualism" written by Katz and Kohl (2002). This article discusses efforts to banish bilingualism from education and how some states have moved forward with this. This topic can lead to a lively debate over bilingualism or English only. Intelligence Lecture 14th What is Intelligence? 1. Intelligence • Example, Marilyn Mach and Dr. Jarvik • Did poorly in school: Churchill, Einstein, etc. • IQ? Academic Achievement? Cognitive & Emotional Intelligence, Nature of Intelligence, and how it is measured. Where does intelligence come from? Gifted & Retarded 2. What is Intelligence? • American Association of Psychologists (APA) defined intelligence as an individual's "ability to understand complex ideas,… to adapt effectively to environment, … to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, and to overcome obstacles by taking thought" • Provides the basis for academic achievements 3. Theories of Intelligence • Intelligence is made up of a number of mental abilities (factors) • Spearman's g factor – General intelligence – s factor represents specific abilities • Thurstone's specific factors – Primary mental abilities: verbal comprehension, numerical ability, visual and spatial abilities, perceptual speed, word fluency, memory & reasoning. • Are those different ways of assessing g or distinct intelligences? 4. Theory of Multiple Intelligences • Howard Gardner (handout) – Number of different intelligences • Critics 5. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence • Robert Sternberg – Analytical • Academic ability – Creative • Ability to cope with novel situations and generate multiple solutions to problems – Practical • "Street smarts" Some texts: componential, experiential, & naturalistic 6. Triarchic Theory of Intelligence • Robert Sternberg – Analytical • Academic ability – Creative • Ability to cope with novel situations and generate multiple solutions to problems – Practical • "Street smarts" Some texts: componential, experiential, & naturalistic 7. Emotional Intelligence • The ability to apply knowledge about emotions to everyday life, involves an awareness of and an ability to manage one's own emotions, selfmotivation, empathy, and the ability to handle relationships. (EQ) • Intrapersonal and interpersonal skills (empathy) • Self-insight and self-control (self-motivation) • Allows for coping with stress, depression, and aggressive behavior 8. Emotional Intelligence • Managing emotions does not mean suppressing them; not does it mean giving free rein to everyday feeling. • Goleman (1995)"A life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself" (p.56) • We manage our emotions by expressing them in an appropriate manner. 9. Creativity and Intelligence • Creativity-the ability to produce original, appropriate, & valuable ideas &/or solutions to problems • Creative people – Do things that are novel and useful – Take risks – Defy limits – Appreciate art and music • Relationship between intelligence test scores and standard measures of creativity is only moderate. 10. Divergent and Convergent Thinking • Divergent thinking – Freely associate to elements of problem – Best used in measuring creativity • Convergent thinking – Thought is limited to present facts – Best used in intelligence testing • Interrelated 11. Savant Syndrome (Rein Man?) • An unusual combination of genius and low performance in different areas • Autistic individuals • The puzzle of savant syndrome is slowly unraveled 12. Measurement of Intelligence • Franz Gall (1758-1828)- measuring skull • Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (SBIS) – Binet-Simon - produced child's mental age – SBIS adapted for intelligence quotient (IQ) • IQ reflects relationship between mental and actual age • (Mental Age / Chronological Age)x100=IQ 13. Measurement of Intelligence • Wechsler Scales (the latest WAIS-III) • 16 and older (but has for kids as well) • Deviation Score – Separate subscales • Verbal and performance tasks – Three IQ scores are obtained: 1. Verbal IQ 2. Performance IQ 3. Full Scale IQ 14. Approximate Distribution of IQ Scores 15. Differences in Intellectual Functioning • Socioeconomic and Ethnic Differences – Consideration of social class • Lower-class U.S. children score 10 – 15 IQ points lower than middle- and upper-class – Consideration of ethnicity • Impact of social class – Asian Americans more likely to graduate high school and complete college 16. Do Intelligence Tests Contain Cultural Biases? • Tests may measure familiarity with dominant middle-class culture: • Caesar is to salad as______ is to brandy. a. Churchill b. Napoleon c. Hitler d. Lincoln • Culture-free Intelligence Tests – Cattel's Culture-Fair Intelligence Test • European American children outperform African American children on "culture-free" test 17. Sample Items from Cattell's Culture-Fair Intelligence Test 18. Gender Differences in Intelligence Tests • Intelligence tests do not show overall differences in cognitive ability – Girls superior to boys in verbal ability – Boys excel in visual-spatial ability – Boys tend to score higher on math tests • Group scores represent greater variation within the group than between the groups Nature and Nurture in Intelligence Do You Think of Intelligence as an Inherited or a learned Characteristic? 19. Genetic Influences on Intelligence • Francis Galton (1822-1911)- heredity • Environmentalists- intelligence product of ….. • Kinship studies – IQ scores of identical twins (MZ) are more alike than for any other pairs – Moderate correlations between fraternal twins, siblings and parents and their children – Weak correlations between children and their foster parents and between cousins 20. Genetic Influences on Intelligence • Twin Studies – IQ scores of MZ twins reared together have higher correlation than MZ twins reared apart • Being reared together is related to IQ similarities • Minnesota Center for Twin and Adoption Research (Bouchard (1997), - reported that various types of twin studies have consistently yielded heritability of .60 to .70 for intelligence 21. Genetic Influences on Intelligence • Adoption Studies – Stronger relationship between IQ scores of adopted children and their biological parents than between children and adoptive parents 22. Heritability of Intelligence • Heritability is between 40% and 60% – About half the difference between your IQ score and the IQ scores of other people can be explained by heredity • Environment is also important • Being reared together is related to IQ similarities 23. Findings of Studies of the Relationship between IQ Scores and Heredity 24. The Complex Web of Factors That Affect Intellectual Functioning

Symposium on Energy and Climate Change
14 May 2014, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Anthropogenic climate change has moved to the forefront of world affairs. Rapidly rising concentrations of long-lived greenhouse gases due to industrialization and population growth portend a worrisome future for our planet. Our depleted ecosystems face existential threat from changes in climate and chemistry that may overwhelm nature's capacities to adjust. Human civilization is conducting an un¬intended experiment on a planetary scale.
New temperature norms, ocean acidification, increasing drought and flood, more powerful storms, rising sea levels, and melting in the arctic are signals the world will look very different in coming decades.
In the face of greater systemic stresses, cities, farmers, and governments will struggle to understand. In human terms alone, the potential economic and social costs of mitigating climate change are huge. Trillions of dollars in infrastructure will need to be adapted or replaced. Agricultural practices worldwide will have to adjust. Millions of people will be displaced. Deepening social and geopolitical conflict resulting from climate change will further increase the costs in both human and economic terms.
Civilization has been transformed by industrialization, which can be viewed as the human imagination leveraged by machines powered by fossil fuels. Carbon-based fossil fuels remain the primary source of energy for modern societies – even as efforts to increase the use of renewable energy grow. The trajectory of climate change depends on our energy choices.
Modern civilization is at an historic crossroads: can humanity transform its energy use in time to avoid irreparable damage to the ecosystems on which humanity's survival ultimately depends? Given the scale of the transformation required, and the decades of effort and vast expense that will be required, what policy narratives will produce the best results? How will the global energy mix change? What actions can we take to decrease the use of fossil fuels without inducing politically unsustainable economic costs to our societies? What clean and low carbon energy sources can be ramped up fast enough to make a difference? Will we have to resort to geoengineering and drastically different lifestyles?
The San Diego World Affairs Council and the Department of Political Science & International Relations at the University of San Diego see the need for a wide-ranging dialog on energy use. We understand our community will need to consider options for addressing, adapting, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. The Symposium on Energy and Climate Change is the forum to consider these new possibilities.
Would you like to join the talented and passionate community creating the breakthrough technologies and organizations necessary? San Diego is facing urgent issues of sustainability. As we respond to climate change and transform our energy profile, where are the career opportunities? What new industries and technologies are going to make a difference?

For Dr. Brooks Keel, one of the key factors that drew his interest to become president of Georgia Southern University was what he calls the college's "culture of being student centered." So, in his first week on the job as the college's new leader, Keel wants to have lunch with the student body. Just not all at the same time.

Another reason I look forward to the weekend is the topic I get to speak on during breakout sessions tomorrow afternoon ~ biblical womanhood. If you know me at all, you know it's one of my very favorite subjects. Tomorrow's breakout session is called "The Romans 16 Woman." I was asked to lead a seminar for women that would encourage and empower them in ministry, and though I always feel inadequate to truly communicate the high, high value of women in and to the church, I can't wait to have the opportunity tomorrow. Here's the session description:
The Romans 16 Woman: You've probably heard about the Proverbs 31 Woman, but how much do you know about the Romans 16 Women? In this concluding chapter Paul mentions 29 people, believers who courageously and humbly served Christ in the spreading of the gospel. At least 9 of those people are women. Paul highly valued the ministry of women. So did Jesus. Both of these men recognized the critical and beautiful gift of femininity in and for the church. Come and discover it for yourself!
I've read Romans many times, but it was this last time, just a couple of months ago, that I was awestruck by the number of women Paul mentions in his last chapter. It made me wonder why Paul always gets such a bad rap and labeled and chauvinist and misogynist. Have his haters not read his most famous and brilliant letter? He obviously loved and cherished women. He recognized their courage, their wisdom, their gifts. He called them partners and co-laborers. He exhorted other believers to recognize these things as well. He commended them to others and called upon the saints to receive them as sisters, mothers, and valued members of the body of Christ.
But so many are stuck on his commands for a woman's silence, submission, and modesty. I think it's time they move past their pouting and victimization and recognize Paul's word to be God's Word. Those were real and serious issues in the early church.The truth is that those rebukes and commands are still things that women need to hear and heed.
So tomorrow, we'll talk about Phoebe, Priscilla, Mary, Junia, Tryphaena and Tryphosa (sisters?), Persis, the mother of Rufus, the sister of Nereus, and we'll even touch on Lydia, the God-fearing seller-of-purple, and first convert in Europe.
First convert in Europe. That's right. And Mary was first to see the risen Lord and tell the disciples about it. And the book of Exodus doesn't begin with Moses and Pharaoh, it begins with women ~ midwives courageously defying orders to kill babies, as well as the five women involved in the protection and nurturing of Moses. The saga of Samuel doesn't begin with Samuel, it begins with his mother, Hannah, fervently praying for a child, receiving and child and dedicating him to the Lord. The Gospel age begins with Mary and Elizabeth. And in the age of the early church, Lois and Eunice are recognized for training Timothy in the Scriptures.
I'd say Jesus and Paul considered women necessary members and key players in the kingdom, and I can hardly wait to tell this to the young women tomorrow.
And I also can't wait to tell my favorite Bible heroine stories either:
Deborah and Jael: Judges 4:1-23 and 5:1-31
The Wise Woman of Abel: 2 Samuel 20: 13-22
The Shunammite Woman: 2 Kings 4:1-37 and 8:1-6
(I owe a debt of gratitude to Barbara Mouser for introducing me to these trends and stories through her wonderful study entitled The Five Aspects of Woman. She completely changed my understanding of my own created femininity, and therefore my life and relationships with men and God. You can bet I'll be taking my books and encouraging the girls to start their own study groups.)
Oh, we'll heed the call to respect men, to submit to their authority in marriage and in the church, to be silent when it is out of bounds for us to speak, and to adorn ourselves modestly. Those things will only cause our own gifts and labor to be more fruitful. And we'll not throw out the beautiful example of a feminine life given to the Lord in Proverbs 31. (I happen to adore her.) We'll just also be encouraged by the example of the women of Romans 16, and so many other women of the Bible, to use our gifts and to obey God's call to participate fully and according to our feminine design in His work of spreading the gospel.
We'll ask the Lord to make us women who are God-fearing, capable, responsible, visionaries, strong, brave, hard-working, devout, dependable partners, mothers, wives, teachers, nurturers, hospitality-givers, businesswomen (Seller-of-purple, anyone?), risk-takers, skilled-laboreres, wise, practical, earnest, prayerful, faithful, servants.
And those characteristics will all be possible for us because of Christ, His life, His death, His resurrection, His promised return, and His incredible indwelling of our female hearts.
Wow. I'm overwhelmed. Pray that the women at the conference will be, too.
(P.S. Robert's seminar is on sexuality ~ and all the many issues you might imagine go along with that in our current culture. He has a harder job, as usual. Pray for him if you think of it!)

| Azlan Othman |
THE Minister of Religious Affairs, Pengiran Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohammad bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahman, called for efficient administration within his workforce, urging staff to be accurate, take prompt action when required and not to work like a machine, but be a thinker.
Speaking at the 21st Public Service Day celebration for the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) yesterday, the minister said that because of the pace of globalisation, creation of new technologies and a high demand for the development of our surroundings, it is very important that an efficient administration exists.
People demand efficient service and the MoRA must always assess the way it performs its work.
The minister said, "A thinker will view critically the future of any organisation, people, religion and the nation.
"A person should always be proactive in solving problems or implementing the means to accomplish any objective and not delay their work to prevent it from eventually piling-up.
"To support our national philosophy, Malay Islamic Monarchy, which is also upheld by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the workforce should be well-versed in religious issues, ceremonial customs and traditions, and familiar with state dignitaries.
"We have just passed the five-year strategic plan of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (2010-2014) where the majority of objectives were achieved. Objectives that are yet to be attained, should continue to berealised. And we will start the new phase of the strategic plan for 2015-2019, which requires us to better improve our administration."
The minister then presented souvenirs and certificates of appreciation to 35 retired staff and four recipients of the Excellent Officer Award. In addition, a new website of the ministry was also launched – www.kheu.gov.bn.
The minister also launched the ministry's 7th Customers Day, which will run for three days from February 26-28, which is showcasing exhibitions and demonstrations on slaughtering animals, jenazah (corpse) management, a car wash service and selling of local handicraft and food by members of Empowerment Programme of Tithe Recipients (PROPAZ).
A stage show by students will also take place and stalls representing Hana Soy, Mr Softy, Excapade Sushi, Wira Bina, Seri Pakatan, Chop Jing Chew, Silla Korean restaurant, Semaun Marine Resources, Casnah London Kebab, Autie Anne's Pretzel, BMC, Ghanim International, PDS and KTM, have also been set up.

'I just wasn't myself', says Djokovic after stunning loss
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - World number one Novak Djokovic had no explanation for his flat performance in a stunning semi-final loss to Japan's Kei Nishikori at the U.S. Open on Saturday.
"I think he just played better in these conditions than I did," the Serb said of the 6-4 1-6 7-6(4) 6-3 setback in brutal heat and humidity on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I just wasn't managing to go through the ball in the court," Djokovic told reporters.
"I wasn't in balance. Unforced errors. Even when the ball gets back to his part of the court it's pretty short; he takes advantage of it. On the other side I didn't. That's it.
"Other than that second set, my game today was not even close to what I wanted it to be. A lot of unforced errors, a lot of short balls. Just wasn't myself."
Straining to make sense of his showing, reporters asked seven-times grand slam champion Djokovic whether he has been distracted by the approaching birth of his first child.
"Of course, I'm in touch with my wife. Of course, I am being part of her pregnancy. It's normal," he said. "But it's no different for me in terms of preparing for the match and for the tournament.
"I had all my dedication, everything directed to this U.S. Open. I tried to give my best and I did. Now my best today was not where I wanted it to be." Continued...

This morning when driving to work after not touching anything (e.g air con, radio, windows etc) my radio went to full volume and is stuck there.
Neither the volume knob or the steering buttons can change that. radio has been switched off and on etc and car turned off etc.
Anyone heard of this?
Is there a way to factory reset the radio?
I take it if i do this i then have to find a code to unlock it?
Thanks in advance

Starting January 13, DocuSign, CU Boulder's electronic signature application, will have a different login experience. Currently, users log into DocuSign using their @colorado.edu email address and a DocuSign-specific password they created. After January 13, DocuSign will use CU Boulder's Federated Identity Service and IdentiKey information to access accounts.
Setting our students up for success is a top priority for CU Boulder, but how can we help students who leave campus before completing their degree? Of course, some can benefit from expanded offerings of online classes, but is there another solution for those students who need to complete a seminar or smaller face-to-face course that's not offered online? Could we still help them?
Streamline your processes with DocuSign. Docusign is an easy-to-use, full-featured, web-based application for signing/sending documents, creating forms, and managing document workflow. It is a common good service available to all CU Boulder students, faculty and staff, therefore there is no direct cost to individuals or departments.
Some of the benefits of DocuSign include:
This week OIT will implement a change that will alter the length of how long items stay in your Outlook "Deleted Items" folder. When the campus transitioned from Exchange 2007 to the Exchange Online service, the existing "Deleted Items" purge policy did not transition over. Previously, anything filed in the "Deleted Items" folder would automatically be purged after 30 days.

Week Two :: July 1–July 8
Interfaith Lecture Theme :: Celebrating the Genius and Soul of a Nation
Alexis de Tocqueville said, "The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults." Today, global and national events challenge us to initiate introspection, self-analysis, and repair, all while celebrating the greatness of our democracy. In this week of observing our nation's birthday we will seek to discern the genius and soul of the nation, and ask how they may be authentically embodied and celebrated.

Think Tank announces 'pilot's case' and messenger-style camera bags
Bag maker Think Tank has announced two new camera bags. The Airport Navigator is a rolling pilot's case that allows access to your photo gear from both the top and front. The bag is designed to hold two pro-size bodies and three to six lenses, two flash units, an iPad and laptop. Like other products in the Airport series, this bag is designed to meet the restrictions imposed by airlines on carry-on luggage for international and domestic US flights.
Think Tank has also announced a new line of CityWalker messenger-style shoulder bags. The bags come in three sizes, each capable of holding at minimum a standard-size camera body and medium range zoom. A seam-sealed rain cover is included with both series of bags. They are to be released in November.
Press Releases:
Think Tank Photo to Release Airport Navigator™
Top- and Front-accessible Photographer Rolling Pilot's Case
Santa Rosa, Calif. – Think Tank Photo announces that in November it will release the Airport Navigator™, the photography industry's first rolling pilot's case that allows photographers to access gear from the top and the front. The new pilot's case also includes a shoulder strap for easing past gate check attendants.
The Airport Navigator™ holds two pro-size bodies, plus three to six extra lenses and most 15.4" laptops, iPads and documents. The two external side pockets can also accommodate pro-size flashes or water bottles.
The new roller's lightweight design emphasizes fit and comfort, premium quality, and flexibility and function. The custom handle extends to total of 40" for easy rolling. The pilot's case utilizes the highest quality YKK RC Fuse zippers, custom designed and replaceable in-line skate wheels, and antique nickel plated metal hardware. It features a shoulder strap whose piggy-back function allows for easy attachment to other rollers.
"This project dates back many years as our designers strived to create a dual access roller," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo CEO and Lead Designer. "Through different revisions, we found that the most reasonable style for this case was a Pilot's type bag. This effort culminated in the creation of a rolling case that has top and front access for wedding, event and travel photographers. This is yet another unique first for the camera industry."
Features include:
- 15" Laptop compartment
- iPad/document pocket
- Top and front access panels to photo gear
- Lockable zippers on both main zippered compartments
- Retractable handle slides through top lid handle to hold lid open for quick access to gear while shooting
- Removable shoulder strap includes piggy-back function for attaching Airport Navigator to other TTP rollers
- Two external side pockets to accommodate flashes or water bottles
- Releasable front panel straps hold the laptop compartment open for quick access to electronics when attached or full access to photo gear when released. Straps also tuck-away when not in use.
- Custom designed and replaceable handle and wheels
- Seam sealed rain cover included.
The Airport Navigator's all-fabric exterior is treated with a DWR coating while fabric underside is coated with PU for superior water resistance. It utilizes YKK® RC Fuse (abrasion resistant) zippers, 420D velocity nylon, 420D high-density nylon, 600D brushed polyester, custom designed replaceable in-line skate wheels, Ultra Stretch pockets, antique nickel plated metal hardware, aluminum reinforcement, rubberized laminate, 3D air mesh, and 3-ply bonded nylon thread.

The CityWalkers' design emphasizes fit and comfort, premium quality, and functional flexibility. Extremely lightweight, the bags feature a high quality silver-toned nylon liner, RC Fuse External/YKK zippers, and antique nickel plated metal hardware. They have a sound silencer on the main flap, extra flaps for smaller lenses with a fully lined velex insert for maximum customization, internal pockets that fit a pro-size flash, and a removable padded insert.
The CityWalker 10 fits one standard size body with a 24-70 attached, plus one to two small extra lenses, a flash, and a tablet. The CityWalker 20 holds one standard size body with a 24-70 attached or a 70-200 detached, plus extra lenses, a flash, and a tablet. The CityWalker 30 holds one standard size body with a 24-70 attached or a 70-200 detached, plus two to four extra lenses, a flash, and a 15" laptop.
"The CityWalkers are a classic 'walk around' bag," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo CEO and Lead Designer. "Built around the same design aesthetic as our popular StreetWalker® backpacks, their style is targeted toward casual urban environments while still focused on an active lifestyle."
Features include:

it's finally avaialble, the navigator, that is...going to see if it can replace my "bring all the gear" to the wedding bag, and use my hip belt and cotton carrier for shooting on my feet when there...
I use a Retrospective 10 for my Eos 7D with a couple of extra lenses but really want something of similar quality (without 'shouty' look at me labels) for my Sony NEX-5N kit. Best so far is a Domke F-5XB but the needle holes from its ridiculous front label (immediately removed) are a bit unsightly and its velcro front is far too noisy. A shallower version of the Retrospective or City Walker 10 (to take a 7" tablet) would be ideal.
I absolutely LOVE Think Tank bags. The quality just simply blows away the competition. I am excited about the Airport Navigator, but hope that I can get American Eagle (in particular) to stop taking my gear from me at the gate!
The CityWalker 10 appears to be the same size/capacity as my Domke fx-3. I'll give it a look, but it will be hard to match the Domke for comfort and unobtrusiveness.
As all ways with this style of case it's a good idea poorly executed. Its almost as if the people who make them have never tried them outside of their design studios! The wheels are simply to small, fine for airports but if you have ever tried wheeling one in the street it crash, bang, thump. The whole time your gear is taking a beating.
It doesn't look like there has been very much Think put into this Tank!
I love their roller bag cum backpack (can't find the model name tag), on-top of which I have one of their 'Urban Disguise 30' shoulder bags. Room enough for three camera systems, a few long focal lenses, and stuff like that! The only thing missing is there is no top access to the roller, a lack the new model addresses!
Great news, think Tank!
Looks like Restropective range but with "go-faster" stripes
how is this different ?
the big intrusive flap is still there....
With a name like Airport Navigator are they suggesting you can carry it onboard international and domestic flights? Good luck with that one! If there's an airline that has a carry on allowance of more than 10kgs in two seperate bags for international flights and 7kgs for domestic flights in the Asia/Pacific region, please let me know.
I know exactly what you mean. I recently went through that excercise of finding a carrier for transatlantic flights that would take me and my IATA sized Pelican case. Delta-AirFrance codeshare was one of the few options I found. Size but no weight limits (yet).
Not sure about other destinations for AF flights.
Never had any problems with my roller bag with BA, and that one is fairly big (no weight limit, but size!).
Looks very like the Lowe Pro Roller Attaché which gives you 2 bags in one if you need it. Sadly it won't take pro size bodies so no use to me.
I still want someone to make a bag that allows me to carry clothes for a 2 day shoot flying on regional jets as well as my cameras so that I can have only one bag as carry on and breeze through the airport. No bags ever have space for clothes!
I'm using the Think Tank Airport 4-Sight:
And have been using their Digital Holsters for both my SLR and Sony NEX cameras.
I just purchased my first Think Tank bag, a Retrospective 10, to fit my D700 and 3 prime lenses 28 1.8G 50 1.4G and 85 1.8G, and I think after 20 plus years I have found a bag that the camera bag company R&D actually fit cameras into, my rig fits so good, I'm looking at another Think Tank for my zoo camera and lenses.
Great going to Think Tank.
I would definitely feel like a pro with all of that gear! Well I would look the part, anyhow. I do love well-made bags. (If I had this bag I would have to put a Samsung tablet in it, though ;) )
Think Tank makes GREAT quality bags!!
Try anything by LowPro (mass produced bags loved by many). And then try something from Think Tank and you'll see and feel the quality differences. The kicker is, TT bags are not much more than the similar LowPro versions, yet the quality and durability is MUCH BETTER.
I'm looking forward to the CityWalker, but imo the colored stripes got to go. lol.
BTW, I use an Urban Disguise 35 and StreetWalker Pro backpack. The streetwalker's have tripod straps so you can carry your tripods. I always carry the Manfrotto 055XPROB + Manfrotto 498RC2 hanging off the backpack on LONG bike rides with NO problems at all.
I guess i'm a fanboy. Great bags for the price.
That's exactly how I ended up with Think Tank - but it was the wife that sent me on the right track! Have a few Crumpler bags a s well ...
I agree with you 100%! I have 2 of their bags (Airport TakeOff) and Shape Shifter. Love both! My TakeOff is almost 4 years old and it's still as good as new, despite numerous trips here and there.
Love their bags. But what's a "colorway"? Come to think of it, what's a henway?
