"Miss Brooks! Will you kindly explain what on Earth you are doing?"
I swallowed. There was no mistaking the anger in the Dr's eyes, even if his voice had been dressed calm.
"I- I need the file…" I said, my mind suddenly wiped of all good excuses.
"You've broken into my office."
"Yeah, pretty resourceful." I chuckled nervously. "Please, Doctor. You don't know how important this is to me."
"And you don't seem to understand how important the laws of my job are, Miss Brooks. The answer is still no. This time resounding. Security, please escort this young lady out of the building." The two other men stepped forward, beside me in one stride. The Dr continued to stare in my direction, adding, "I don't want to see you in this branch of the London District Hospitals community again."
"But what if-"
"Miss Brooks!"
A hand went to my shoulder, shoving me forward. The guards moved with their pushing me, and we three, one block, found our way out of the office.
I was stuck.
And, being marched away, I found myself staring back at the nameplate on the door of the Dr's office.
"You delivered me!"
"I beg your pardon?" The Dr hadn't expected me to talk, clearly.
Still being shunted forward, I cleared my throat.
"My name…isn't Maria Brooks. It's Lily. Lily Highclere. It's not the file in itself that I want, but the information it might lead me to. Please, Doctor, I am begging-"
"Stop," he whispered. I felt the burly security guards stumble to a halt.
Dr. Aquilus turned to me, his eyes wide and ghostly innocent.
"Lily, in the flesh. Ah, Lily. I should have known this day would come. I didn't think it would be so soon, however."
I lent further towards Dr. Aquilus, inspecting the excitement that jumped about in his eyes too.
"You'll help me?"
"I'll try," he muttered, before turning back the security. "It's okay; I can handle her from here."
He took my arm as the guards marched away in-sync, guiding us both back down the way we had come, back to his office. At the door, I traced the letters of the nameplate, rich gold in the light.
"So you did deliver me?"
"I wasn't head paediatrician back then, but I liked to take an interest in all the women who came through those doors. Yes, I was there when everything happened.
"She said that she'd take the 'I' from my name to remember the man who saved her. I didn't realise what she meant by 'take' until we were given the name for your file, along with the remark 'London, Ian.' I couldn't make heads or tails of her remark to me, but when I looked down, it made sense. L, I. She had managed to make a name from the places."
"Yes, she did that," I added.Now I have to hunt for them all. The words never reached my lips, but I felt the weight of them all the same.
The Dr. gestured and we sequentially sat in the chairs we had occupied earlier in the day. He placed his elbows onto the desk again, resting his head on his fists. We ignored the mess of files behind us.
I couldn't stop the torrent of excitement that rose in my chest; I imitated Dr. Aquilus' action, tilting my head to him.
"So, what was my mother like?"
"Ah, Lily. That I cannot say. Elusive, for one thing. I saw her once before the birth, and once when I passed her tiny baby back to her. You were two months premature, you know. Your mother said that she had to leave her family rather unexpectedly."
"Her family…?" I faltered. Was I not the first of my mother's children?
"I presume she meant parents, but her words were ambiguous, to say the least."
"What was she like? I mean, do you remember any specific…?"
"Aside from her lack of clear intentions? Your mother was pretty, I remember thinking so, but she refused to let many nurses see her. That's why I was there. It was one midwife, now deceased, and me who were to deal with 'the mysterious lady', as the other staff called her.
"She had been escorted in via the helipad-"
"You have a helipad?" I asked, craning my neck upwards, despite the ceilings in the way.
"Yes, Lily. It was so she could, ironically, be inconspicuous. We receive patients via the helipad frequently, though not usually expectant mothers. Another thing I remember about your mother was her helper- accomplice, if you like- burly, like a guard. They had both worn sunglasses that concealed their eyes; the woman only took them off when she was sure that it was just we three in the maternity room."
"That man. Was he…?" The words caught in my throat.
"No, Lily," Dr. Aquilus said, his voice climbing a slight crescendo. "For the little time she was properly in labour, your mother gave us instructions. 'Don't let her believe that my aid is the father.' He was gone, out through the front door, by then anyway."
I sat, thinking, my mind trying to absorb the gigabytes of information being sent my way. It was the little details that detained me.

Serena and friend Wozniacki reach U.S. Open women's final
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Serena Williams used her blazing power in a semi-finals win, while Caroline Wozniacki advanced when her opponent was felled by heat illness on Friday to set up an intriguing women's final at the U.S. Open.
Hot and humid conditions hit Flushing Meadows again and China's Peng Shuai fell victim, as she was forced to retire with Wozniacki leading 7-6(1) 4-3 on a steamy day on Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
Williams, the two-times defending champion, came on the center court next and seemed determined to spend as little time as possible in the stifling conditions and succeeded, by trouncing Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-1 6-3 in 60 minutes.
The 10th-seeded Wozniacki and unseeded Peng waged a much different battle, with the two groundstroke artists trading blows in long, energy-draining rallies.
The match was still very much in doubt with Wozniacki serving at 4-3 and facing break point when Peng suddenly grabbed her thighs and stumbled to the back wall of the center court with what appeared to be severe cramping.
In obvious distress, the 28-year-old doubles specialist was eventually helped off the court to be evaluated by doctors.
A valiant Peng, playing her first career grand slam singles semi-final, refused to quit and returned 11 minutes later.
But after six points Peng curled up in agony on the baseline, and officials called the match and Peng was lifted into a wheelchair and taken from the court to a standing ovation after the abbreviated two hour four minute battle. Continued...

In the early 1980s, Kurt Vonnegut was in the habit of lurking around the mailbox near his house in Manhattan, waiting for the collection and the opportunity to reclaim letters written in haste the night before. "I thank you for your cracked and mean complaints of July 20," he addressed his old friend Knox Burger in 1982. "When I turn 60, I'll decide what I really think about you." Dan Wakefield, the editor of Kurt Vonnegut: Letters, does not say whether the writer took this one back, but it would have been better if he had.
As fiction editor of Collier's magazine in the 1940s, Burger had paid Vonnegut large sums at the start of his career – $750 for a story in 1949. He then published the early novel The Sirens of Titan while working at Dell. When Burger switched trades, becoming an agent, Vonnegut reneged on a promise to become his client, saying he could not forsake the loyal Max Wilkinson. One wonders if he tried to retract a letter of August 1977, before it reached Wilkinson: "You say that you have not retired, but I tell you as your client that you have felt retired to me." It certainly would have been wiser not to reveal his wounds to the New York Times critic Anatole Broyard, on the publication in 1981 of Palm Sunday, a collection of sketches and speeches. "I thank you for your comments on how slowly my literary career is dying," Vonnegut told the notoriously severe Broyard. "I can imagine what it must be like for a critic to remain seemingly respectful in the presence of a writer he knows to be all through." He felt obliged to add that Palm Sunday had been "elsewhere praised with no embarrassment".
Domestic regrets also dogged Vonnegut. In 1970, his relationship with his wife Jane having deteriorated, he left the family home in what Wakefield calls "the small bucolic town of West Barnstable on Cape Cod", to settle in New York. In letters to friends, Vonnegut owns up to a lot of anger and a lot of drinking. There were also lots of children – six, including three of his sister's, adopted after her death. A year after his move, he met Jill Krementz, who was building a career as a literary portrait photographer, and soon they were living together. "I will not marry Jill," he promised his youngest daughter Nanny in 1977 – she had been withdrawn since her parents' separation – but the wedding duly took place not long afterwards, and the couple adopted a daughter, Lily. Marrying Krementz would turn out to be one of Vonnegut's biggest regrets. "I will be back here on the evening of June 20," he told a friend in 1991, "by which time Jill Krementz and [name deleted] will have been served subpoenas to defend themselves in my divorce action which charges them with adultery. He has been living in Jill's studio next door … for several months, without my even suspecting it. And, with me at home, putting Lily to bed or whatever, she would go over there 'to finish her book'. Such class!"
Things scarcely improved through Vonnegut's eighth decade, for him or Lily: "Jill and I are not speaking, thank goodness, and I am on the mend." He was involved in a car crash in late 1999, by which time Lily, still in her teens, had become "the fourth member of our family to swear off liquor for the rest of her life".
Vonnegut's son Mark wrote in a recent memoir that his father went "from being poor to being famous and rich in the blink of an eye". The trigger of change was the publication in 1969 of Slaughterhouse-Five (his eighth book), and the sale of film rights to George Roy Hill, whose successful movie soon followed. For many readers, particularly younger ones, Vonnegut's story of Billy Pilgrim and the firebombing of Dresden – "possibly the world's most beautiful city" – was the first encounter with an alternative to the accepted narrative of necessary destruction to bring about an end to the second world war. Having been a prisoner-of-war, trapped in an underground meat-locker throughout the bombing, Vonnegut gave his own experiences to Billy, throwing in a bit of time travel and faux-naivety, and punctuating the recitation of unspeakable horror with one of modern literature's most famous phrases: "So it goes." Kurt Vonnegut: Letters contains an account of his experiences written to his family just after the war, and another from a relative who was comforting "the boy".
The bittersweet whimsy of his fiction occasionally spills into the correspondence. "And tell me," he wrote to Burger, "when one is being frogmarched by life, does one giggle or does one try to maintain as much dignity as possible?" If Vonnegut's German experience shaped his folksy, confidential style, which made readers feel he was looking them in the eye, it also created the gaps in his spirit that were filled by addictions – alcohol and nicotine – and by bouts of depression.
To draw up a full catalogue of the disasters which beset the clan one would have to add his mother's suicide, timed to coincide with one of Kurt's periods of military leave, Mark's breakdown and diagnosis of schizophrenia ("most schizophrenics respond beautifully to large doses of vitamins", Vonnegut wrote), and the extraordinary circumstances of the adoption of his sister's children in 1958: she died of cancer the day after her husband was killed in a train crash. What else to do but giggle, or quote the closing words of Slaughterhouse-Five: "Poo-tee-weet?". Eventually, Vonnegut succumbed to that bafflingly common condition among the wealthy: being broke. The causes were the usual ones – taxes and alimony.
Charles Shields's biography of Vonnegut, And So It Goes, appeared last year, but there is no substitute for a well-rounded collection of letters. Wakefield, a lifelong friend, has divided the book into sections according to decade, prefacing each with a brief essay. He also adds comments before some of the letters – a method chosen by certain editors in preference to footnotes – which occasionally has the effect of informing us of events before we have the chance to read about them at source.
Broyard was scarcely wrong to say that Vonnegut's reputation suffered a blow with each new book; he is a classic example of a writer whose renown endures through the success of a single novel. Yet the tone was ever recognisable, and even lesser-known books – Slapstick, Deadeye Dick, Hocus Pocus – sold well. In response to a question from a reader in 1991 about the relationship of his style to "jazz and comedians", he replied: "I don't think about it much, but now that you've asked, it seems right to say that my writing is of a piece with nightclub exhibitionism … lower class, intuitive, moody, and anxious to hold the attention of a potentially hostile audience."

Wolverhampton Wanderers' Premiership quality told as they brushed aside a much-changed Millwall outfit to reach round four of the Carling Cup.Lions boss Kenny Jackett handed starts to Jack Smith and Tony Craig at the back, James Henry and Alan Dunne in midfield, Dany N'Guessan in attack and Steve Mildenhall in goal.And it was Mildenhall who was picking the ball out of his net inside three minutes. Hesitant defending allowed David Edwards to poke a close range shot underneath the Lions keeper from a tight angle.Wolves doubled their lead just three minutes later. Dunne gave away a cheap free-kick 25 yards out and up stepped Adam Hammill to bend the ball over the wall and into the far corner beyond the diving Mildenhall.A timely slip from Darren Ward let in Wolves again but just as Stephen Hunt was about the pull the trigger, back came Jimmy Abdou to produce a sublime bit of defending to stop the ex-Reading man a certain goal. It buoyed The Lions and better play saw the ball quickly worked up the field to the feet of Hamer Bouazza. His low drive, however, was comfortably dealt with by Dorus De Vries.Millwall looked to be getting a foothold in the game as N'Guessan wriggled free on the edge of the 18 yard box but as he shaped to shoot, Wolves left-back George Elokobi dived in to block the danger.The Cameroonian defender would be rewarded with a goal on 38 minutes. Fine work from Adlene Guedioura saw the Algerian shimmy his way past three defenders before squaring the ball to Elokobi who could not miss from four yards.N'Guessan then stung the palms of De Vries before Dunne nodded a James Henry corner onto the roof of the net as the first half drew to a close.As the rain started to fall, the first chance of the second period fell Millwall's way as Henry tried his luck from distance and the wet ball skidded out of the hands of De Vries. Luckliy for the Dutchman, he recovered in time to smother the ball before the onrushing John Marquis could tuck it home.Back came Wolves and half-time substitute Michael Kightly raced clear only to be denied by a recovering Ward and Mildenhall.The Lions' keeper then threw himself to his left to palm away a Kightly drive as the home side went in search of more goals. They got them late on, as first Wolves sub James Spray bundled home then Guedioura took aim from 30 yards and rifled an unstoppable shot into the corner leaving Mildenhall stranded to put the seal on a comfortable win and leaving The Lions without a goal in five matches.

This is the third release of the company's flagship 3D structural design software. SCIA Engineer 15.2 expands the program's steel and concrete design capabilities with a focus on the United States and provides numerous usability improvements to increase day-to-day productivity. SCIA Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis and design software for all kinds of projects. Its wide range of functionality make it usable for all kinds of projects: design office buildings, industrial plants and bridges, all within the same easy-to-use environment. Highlights of the SCIA Engineer 15.2 release include: Virtual Joists Historically, structural engineers have not been able to incorporate joists with realistic physical properties into their building models. As a result, neither joists with non-uniform loading nor joists included in lateral load resisting frames could be defined accurately. The new virtual joist component in SCIA Engineer allows the engineer to incorporate joist member stiffness in the overall model, making the analysis of the building system more accurate. The joist members can be checked and auto-designed and are given a realistic joist designation consistent with expectations from joist manufacturers and the Steel Joists Institute (SJI). Equivalent Lateral Force For fast and easily verifiable seismic analysis, SCIA Engineer 15.2 introduced the Equivalent Lateral Force procedure including support for the provisions of EN1998 and ASCE 7. This simplified method is a nice complement to SCIA Engineer's Modal Response Spectra and Pushover capabilities. Extensions for steelwork design to Eurocodes Initially introduced in SCIA Engineer 15.0, the design module for composite beams to EN1994 has been greatly extended with: automatic effective width calculation to the code, lateral torsional buckling checks, shear connector design and fire resistance design Design of steel connections now fully supports beam flanges and webs in compression according to EN 1993-1-8 Article 184.108.40.206 (1-2). Other improvements concern summary output, output for splice connections, and drawing of connections, to name a few. Support for New Materials to IBC Materials databases have been expanded to include timber and aluminium according to IBC. Users will find a new prestressed tendon library according to standards ASTM A416 and ASTM A910. This development enables users to introduce strand-patterns and tendons in 3D beam and slab geometry while providing the ability to calculate losses. Usability Improvements SCIA Engineer 15.2 expands its BIM capabilities with support for Tekla Structures 21.1 and improved IFC interoperability with Allplan Architecture and Allplan Engineering. In SCIA Concrete Section EN 1992-1-1, multiple sets of internal forces can now be inputted. The checks are shown for the combination with the worst effect. Inputs, filtering, and the viewing and exporting of results have been improved in both the Table views and the Engineering Report. In addition, the Engineer Reports offer some nice PDF and MS Excel compatibility improvements. SCIA Engineer 15.2 presents better convergence in the calculation of membrane structures using triangular finite elements. About SCIA Established in 1974, SCIA has become one of the world's leading developers of structural design and analysis software that supports the Open BIM process. SCIA Engineer is an integrated, multi-material structural analysis and design software for all kinds of projects. Its wide range of functionality makes it usable for all kinds of projects: design office buildings, industrial plants and bridges, all within the same easy-to-use environment.

India Basin, San Francisco
India Basin is the easternmost neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
The parameters of India Basin are roughly the neighborhood surrounding Cargo Way, Third Street, Evans and Innes Avenues to the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, from the top of the hill to the water.
The history of India Basin is a curious combination of industry and open space, business and pleasure. The name India Basin first appeared on a map in 1868, but theories as to its origin remain murky. The best guess is that India Basin is named for the ships from the India Rice Mill Company, which docked there in the 19th century. A more creative explanation has it that it was so named because water from nearby springs would stay fresh until a ship reached India.
The area has a strong community and many people are members of the India Basin Neighborhood Association (IBNA).
The India Basin Shoreline Park (India Basin) Natural Area is located adjacent to Hunters Point Boulevard in San Francisco, at the shore of San Francisco Bay. India Basin is the only Natural Area within the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department (SFRPD) system that borders on San Francisco Bay. The natural area, located in the park's southern section, comprises approximately 6.2 acres (25,000 m2) of the entire 11.8 acres (48,000 m2) park. Only the southern third of the entire park is considered a Natural Area.
As the only Natural Area adjacent to the Bay, India Basin has high unique natural resource and recreational values that include: recreational trail use on a segment of the Bay Trail; shoreline access to the Bay for fishing, kayaking and other water-dependent recreation; one of only a few tidal salt marsh wetlands in the City; suitable habitat for a variety of shore birds and foraging habitat for raptors; and views of the San Francisco Bay.

This video describes the role that dendrochronology plays in understanding climate change, especially changes to high elevation environments at an upper tree line. Dendrochronologists from the Big Sky Institute sample living and dead trees, describe how correlations between trees are made, and explain how tree cores record climate changes.
This PBS video shows how Klaus Lackner, a geophysicist at Columbia University, is trying to tackle the problem of rising atmospheric CO2 levels by using an idea inspired by his daughter's 8th-grade science fair project.
This activity focuses on reconstructing the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) as an example of a relatively abrupt global warming period. Students access Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) sediment core data with Virtual Ocean software in order to display relevant marine sediments and their biostratigraphy.
In this activity for undergraduate students, learners build a highly simplified computer model of thermohaline circulation (THC) in the North Atlantic Ocean and conduct a set of simulation experiments to understand the complex dynamics inherent in this simple model.
In this activity, students will use oxygen isotope values of two species of modern coral to reconstruct ambient water temperature over a four-year period. They use Microsoft Excel, or similar application, to create a spreadsheet of temperature values calculated from the isotope values of the corals by means of an algebraic equation. Students then use correlation and regression techniques to determine whether isotope records can be considered to be good proxies for records of past temperatures.
In this JAVA-based interactive modeling activity, students are introduced to the concepts of mass balance, flow rates, and equilibrium using a simple water bucket model. Students can vary flow rate into the bucket, initial water level in the bucket, and residence time of water in the bucket. After running the model, the bucket's water level as a function of time is presented graphically and in tabular form.
In this activity, students use a spreadsheet to calculate the net carbon sequestration in a set of trees; they will utilize an allometric approach based upon parameters measured on the individual trees. They determine the species of trees in the set, measure trunk diameter at a particular height, and use the spreadsheet to calculate carbon content of the tree using forestry research data.
In this activity, students are guided through the process of locating and graphing web-based environmental data that has been collected by GLOBE Program participants using actual data collected by students in Pennsylvania and comparing them to their local climatic boundary conditions. This activity highlights the opportunities for using GLOBE data to introduce basic concepts of Earth system science.
In this activity, students reconstruct past climates using lake varves as a proxy to interpret long-term climate patterns. Students use data from sediment cores to understand annual sediment deposition and how it relates to weather and climate patterns.

What is Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL reconstruction) is a surgical procedure that replaces the central ligament of the knee with a new ligament graft.
The ligament graft can be an autograft in which a part of the patient's body such as a knee tendon or hamstring is used as the graft. Alternatively it could be an allograft in which the graft is from an external donor.
The patient is required to stick to a rehabilitation program of two to six months after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to successfully recover and resume full activities.

OYB February 16
Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog
- 2009 Feb 16
Special today: A mini-sermon from Julie (Hey, it's Sunday when I'm writing this). For those who are stopping by for the first time, we have been in an ongoing look at the two primary holidays, Christmas and Easter, and their origins, which we have discovered were not established by God.
Today I reflected on these holidays from a human standpoint. I wondered what is it that compels us to celebrate them while at the same time, leaves us feeling so burdened by them—at least parts of them? As I thought about Easter (think bunnies and eggs), and then I thought about Christmas (think Santa Claus and presents under the tree), I noticed that they are usually fun for our kids, because they have elements of gratification without any responsibility on our children's part. Our kids show up for all the fun, which is centered around their enjoyment, while we do all the work. So of course they love these two holidays! And these holidays are both burdensome and fun for parents. Burdensome because we have to expend so much energy, time, and money to make them special for our kids. Fun because we get to see the wonder and excitement in our kids' happy hearts.
But then, two things struck me. First, even if you throw out the fact that we are not celebrating the right Festival, at the right time of the year, in the way that was instituted by God, these two mock "Christian" holidays are spent looking down, focused on our children. Instead of looking up as all of God's children to celebrate Him, we are looking down to celebrate our children. We have it all backwards because, if we are honest with ourselves, these holidays are ultimately about our kids. Second, if we were to look up as the true Festivals established by God taught us to do, celebrating our Heavenly Parent, we would be filled with the joy and energy of His presence.
When we instead look down to celebrate our children, we do two potentially harmful things. We get used up by giving to them in a way that only satisfies their fleshly appetites, and secondly, we teach our children to look to us for their provision and gratification, instead of pointing them to feasting on God for all their provision like we are supposed to be doing.
I know we haven't talked much about the origins Christmas yet, but since we have opened the discussion about pagan holidays, consider Jeremiah 10:2-4: This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations... For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter." Many of our practices of celebration today go back to ancient Babylon, and we can see here that God was specifically addressing the "Christmas tree" in this passage (even though it had not been given that name yet until later).
So get this. In Matthew 7:11 when Jesus spoke to the crowds at the Sermon on the Mount, He said, "If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" I believe Jesus was, at least in part, addressing the pagan customs from whence come holidays like Christmas and Easter. His point for us is that, if we get our eyes off gratifying our children with these pagan practices, our children and we will find that His gifts to us will far surpass any material gift we could buy for them. That is how our lives will be filled with joy. So today, look up my friend.
If you'd like a great article that is well laid out and easy to understand as to the origins of Christmas from Babylon, visit this site. Notice how it is the same people, Ishtar and Nimrod, who had a hand in Easter traditions that also had a hand in the origins of Christmas, as we know it! It is important to note, however, that while this article is informative and accurate according to pagan holiday history, I do not agree with other important doctrinal teachings of the church who published this, so be forewarned.
As we delve into Leviticus, the third out of five books of Torah, and a very difficult one to understand at that, keep in mind that many of the principles here that seem archaic and downright strange actually have some beautiful relevant symbolism. We can certainly work hard to uncover these deeper meanings, but it will take time and group effort!
We have already learned that Torah actually means, "teaching." In his book, "Restoration: returning the Torah of God to the disciples of Christ," Thomas Lancaster gives a richer picture of Torah. "Torah comes from a Hebrew root word that is used as an archery term meaning "to take aim, to shoot," such as shooting an arrow in order to hit a target. It is derived from the Hebrew verb yarah, "to cast, throw, shoot," The essence of this word then is "to hit the mark." The Torah is God's aim for us."
Lancaster goes on to say that traditional interpretation of Romans 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes," is incorrect. Jesus did not come to put an end to the Torah, but He IS the end of the Torah. He is the end (fulfillment), but not the ending. He is the goal of Torah, but not the termination of it, in His own words, "Do not think that I came to abolish the law (Torah)." Matthew 5:17.
In the mean time, here is an amazing, beautiful understanding for you to keep as the backdrop in your mind as to what it reveals about God's sovereignty and the sheer magnitude of His limitlessness, and that is what God has "coded" into the five books of Torah. Ask any Hebrew scholar, and you will find that every 50th Hebrew letter in Genesis and Exodus adds together to spell "Torah." Every 50th letter in Numbers and Deuteronomy spells "Harot," or "Torah" spelled backwards. What are they pointing at? Every 7th letter in Leviticus spells "Yahweh." Now isn't that just beyond inspiring?!
3:16 Remember, all the fat belongs to the Lord. I have no problem with this statement. I just wish He'd go ahead and take mine! ☺
Jesus heals a paralyzed man. There are so many applications we can make from this passage. Two of my favorite applications are this: when I am in a weakened condition (physically, emotionally, spiritually), the faith of my friends can bring me to a place of healing. Also, my spiritual healing is the first and most important healing Jesus can give me. The healing of my human body is only temporary and should not be desired first.
Questions for reflection:
Do you ever feel the burden of traditional holidays instead of the joy? How have you added to this burden, if at all? Do you think this burden is God's design for you or for a day to celebrate Him?
If you have children, is it your priority to teach them to look to God for their provision in all things? How can you accurately do this in a practical manner?
When you are in a weakened condition, do you share the burden with your friends so that they might carry your mat to Jesus? Or do you try to handle it on your own, not wanting to trouble anyone? In the same way, do you take the time to share the hurts and weaknesses of your friends? God has made us so that we need the help and faith of our true godly friends in time of need. Remember Galatians 6:2: "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

We stopped in on a whim and were really impressed. Great falafel etc. not greasy on the least, served with hot peppers, and baba ganouch like butter! I ate it with a spoon (and I lived on the Mediterranean). Friendly, helpful and fast service.
I would frequent Nate's a few times a month when I worked in this neighborhood. The owners are so friendly and helpful. The food was always full of flavor and quick service. They recently began accepting credit cards as well
Had the spinach pie, some baba ganoush and some iced tea. I'm a bit of an ice tea perfectionist.....no bitter taste or rancid taste. Everything was exceptional. I was there at an off time and had excellent service even when I was the only one in the restaurant. Have always gotten a great meal here and always choose the middle...
An unpretentious restaurant, where one is treated like family and fed excellent Mediterranean fare.
The facility is clean and well maintained. Our server was friendly and accommodating.
We ordered/shared shish tawook, baba ganooj, fatoosh salad, kibbee, hommus and pita bread. Everything was tasty, authentic and very much enjoyed.
This definitely deserves a return visit when we again find ourselves in...
I order lunch from Nate's a few times a month. The food is always delicious, I have never once had a bad meal from here. The service is exceptional! always very friendly, even when they are very busy. They never rush or make you feel like you're in the way. The dining area is small, there are two entrances one...
Nate's Deli has been a Cleveland favorite for years. Some of the best Middle Eastern food in Cleveland. The hummus and baba gabooj is the best we've had. Try the Combo platter for a taste of everything. Enough for 2 people to share. Prices, food and service are Excellent.
I get to Cleveland only a couple times a year. Each time I know I'm going to be there, I do my best to make sure that a visit to Nate's is part of the schedule. The food is so good. Their falafel plate is something I dream about between trips!
I met a friend for lunch at Nate's. Although, it is on West 25th Street, It is a traditional lunch spot for us.
After hearing about Nate's for years (lines outside the restaurant, no reservations, authentic and yummy, etc), we were delighted that our Syrian friend brought us to an early dinner arriving at 3:45 pm (restaurant closes at 5 pm and as the wait person explained to us, "That means the wait staff are out the door at 5 pm." Oh!) Our...
Old school middle eastern restaurant. Best humus and baba I've ever had. Also the tahini is very good.

An E.ON-RWE joint venture is poised to take a huge step towards building a nuclear power station in north Wales by choosing the reactor technology it will use for the project
Westinghouse, owned by Toshiba, and France's Areva have been battling it out to win contracts for their reactor designs from the energy giants that plan to build the UK's upcoming wave of nuclear stations.
The two designs are the only ones that have approval in principle from the Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency.
It is understood that Horizon Nuclear Power, the nuclear developer owned by the two German energy giants E.ON and RWE, is about to decide which reactor it wants to use for its Wylfa B plant on the Isle of Anglesey, and could make an announcement this week.
Horizon also has a site near the village of Oldbury in South Gloucestershire. However, selecting the reactor for Wylfa is more pressing, as Horizon wants to build Wylfa B by 2020, five years ahead of Oldbury.
The two plants will cost about £15bn, result in 1,600 permanent jobs and have 6,000MW of energy capacity – enough to power 6 million homes.
The decision will be the latest evidence that the UK has rediscovered its appetite for nuclear power, less than a year after the Fukushima Daiichi disaster in Japan called the whole programme into question. Other countries have in effect shut down their nuclear industries as a result of the Japanese crisis, with Germany planning to exit the sector entirely by 2022.
A nuclear industry source said: "Outside of India, China and Russia, we [the UK] are by far and away the furthest ahead with a new nuclear programme. We are have the developers, the sites and we want to build 10-13 reactors. Other countries are talking about new reactors in ones and twos."

SHOUT! brings back the smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60's. It is a fast paced musical journey through the era's hip swiveling pop hits that made musical legends of Petula Clarke, Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and Shirley Bassey. This "Austin Powers-like' musical traces the lives of five young women in the groovey liberating days of 1960's swinging London. SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such chart-topping hits as "To Sir With Love", "Downtown", "Son of a Preacher Man", "I Only Want to be With You", and "Don't Sleep In The Subway". It is an irresistable blend of pop hits and eye-catching fashion with a timeless quality that appeals to every generation.

5 Fears, big and small!
1. I have the intense fear of losing my mom. When I was 12, my father passed away and I learned how to suppress my emotions. Imagine living as an adult in the body of a 12 year old and you will see how I was at the time. Losing him made me realize how fast life can change and how important having my mother still with me was. Also, the christmas after he passed, I received my first diary, starting the writing obsession that I currently harbor.
2. Not succeeding. Ever since I was little I have always planned a large future for myself. I have many goals set that I plan to achieve and if none of my goals are accomplished I will be severely dissatisfied with my life. I know that many people have this fear, but if I do not succeed in my life, it will be more than a fear come true--it will be a disappointment, a failure. I want to know that I am affecting someone somehow, but hopefully for the good. I want people to know my name and I want to be proud of my career.
3. Not being able to write. I would go insane. I have been writing in a diary for a long time and everything stemmed from there. I have had other passions in my life--drawing, acting, filming--but nothing has ever been as stress-reducing as writing. Whenever I found myself sad I would write in my diary, when something incredible happened I would consult my diary. Slowly, I started writing more poetry and started writing my first story when I was 13 and never stopped from there. I am an obsessive, emotional, and perfectionist writer and without my writer I have nothing--I am nothing.
4. Being alone and never finding love. I like my time alone, sitting contemplating my life and listening to music, but that is all. I cannot imagine a life of being alone. I need my family and friends to support me when I need support and I cannot imagine a life without them. I have had many deaths in my family and I know how it feels to lose someone and honestly, this feeling could easily be used towards the loss of everyone in my life, but multiplied by millions of tears. Also, the idea of never finding someone to truly love and have truly love me has plagued me many times in my short life. I want to know that I am lovable and not just a waste of emotions as has been proven on various different occasions.
5. Spiders. They crawl, they creep, they are sneaky, they are ugly, they are just plain wrong. Why such disgusting, little, nasty creatures were created I will never know. I know that they serve the whole food chain theory, but for everything else they aren't worth anything. I bet you didn't know that in Iran they have dog sized spiders that run faster than you. By the way, they also paralyze you while you are sleeping and they start chomping on you. You may wake up with a missing leg or arm, or you may not wake up at all. Dare to risk it? So for you spider lovers, why? Why would you love such things?

Ben: Sacrifice
My hands trembled as I snatched the envelope off the ground. My chest constricted with the feeling of panic one gets when they find they forgot something important. I tore open the paper inside was a thick sheet penned in flawless black cursive.
"Ben, you're so predictable. I expected more from an intellect like yours. Perhaps I misjudged you. I have Eve and your father. If you want them you must give me something: you. I know you Ben. You will accept the trade, because that is the weakness of those who care. Already your tiny mind is contemplating how I will devise for someone invincible to die. Don't worry, there is always a way. Meet us at the following location at 4 O'clock PM today. I would have preferred the dark there is something so wonderful about the absence of light."
At the bottom of the page I saw the address and a tiny H. I knew whose initial it stood for. I glanced at my watch. The time said 1 AM but apparently time ran differently in the two worlds. I looked up at the massive screen on the building. It was 1 PM. I had 3 hours to get ready. First I sprinted to an ancient library computer. Google found the address immediately. It was a decrepit warehouse. Good plenty of entry points. I studied the picture a minute. The odds were that Eve and father were at the back of the warehouse. I would need distraction. I wish I had brought one of the gang with me. I shook my head. Hercules thought I was dumb. Excellent. The cogs were already turning. I decided it was time to go to the hardware store.
I walked out of it and hour later. The contents weighing heavily in my new back pack. For once I was glad my father was rich. I now had a backpack full of surprises. It was now 2:00 PM I started to run. At 2:30 I was block away. I turned into a Café to put the final touches on my plan. I took out a massive bow from my bag, duct tape, a firecracker, and a piece of paper. On the paper I wrote:
"Pleases don't hurt them. I will make the trade."
I scribbled the letters as one distraught and desperate, it wasn't hard. I stuck the paper on the arrow and taped the fire cracker to it. I stepped out of the Café and lit the fire cracker. I quickly shot the arrow towards the decrepit warehouse. Through my new binoculars I could see a black figure pick up the arrow. Phase one was complete. They wouldn't suspect a rescue now. I took out two oil canisters from my bag and poured their contents on myself scales out. I checked the pockets of my fire proof pants. It was all there. 2:45
I went around the entire block until I was right behind the building. 2:51. I made a silent prayer to God. I don't pray normally but I needed help. The back of the ware house was a scant 20 yards away. There was a hole in the wall, perfect. I ran for it. Adrenile pulsing through my veins. I smashed through the hole and into the dark room beyond. Lying on the floor was my father and Eve. They were both bound and gagged. Their eyes widened when they saw me. My plan melted when I saw the two. I planned to do survey of room but instead I sprinted towards them. Mistake, because I ran to them a figure stepped out of the shadows stepped Atlas. He was grinning delightedly.
"Excellent! I am so happy Hercules sent me back to guard them! Now I have the pleasure of killing the great and invincible Ben. The others will simply turn green with envy!"
Fire was beginning to coalesce in his palms. He continued,
"You see fire always finds a way."
With that he launched the fire ball. Instead of dissipating and my chest it ignited the oil. In and instant my entire upper torso was ablaze. His jaw dropped in shock. I ran towards him imagining I must look pretty frightening. He opened his mouth to scream for help but my flaming fist caught his throat the impact stopped the sound in his throat. He desperately sent fire at me. It only fed my inferno. I slipped behind him and threw him down. In an instant I was on his back my knees planted on his shoulder blades. Without hesitation or remorse. I grabbed his forehead with both hands and wrenched back. His neck broke with a sickening crack. "yes," I whispered, "fire finds a way."
I ran towards Eve and father. I took out a push out razor and began to attack the duck tape. In seconds they were both free. Eve was crying and father didn't recognize me. He recoiled in horror.
"Eve, get him out!"
She nodded and began to drag my father towards the hole. I turned to follow then I felt my self sucked to the floor. I my heart sank with despair. To slow. All the black ones burst into the room. Hecules was angry. He kicked Atlas's corpse.
"Arrogant fool!" he spat at body. He turned to me. "I suppose you think your smart. You were close. Very close. But then again that only counts as they say in horse shoes and hand grenades. I'm going to kill Eve and your father right here in front of you. Then you will learn the ultimate price the price of failure."
He took out switch blade and walked purposefully towards father. He raised his arm and was about to bring it down when something clinked to the floor. Oh the irony, it was a grenade. Hecules reflexes saved him he wind blasted the grenade to a corner. I was free. The Atlantis's gravity let up and I sprang to my feet. Digging my hands into my pockets and pulling out two road flares. I ignited both and threw them at the black ones. The black ones quite appropriately don't like light. They screamed in agony of it.
Patrick burst through the hole. He was waving an uzi submachine gun. He fired at the black ones and I heard a scream. "GET OUT!" He roared at us.
Eve and father ran, I started to as well Patrick threw a third grenade. This time Hercules threw himself on it. I remembered he could someone how resurrect himself. I realized Patrick wasn't running. He was valiantly holding the exit. I stopped and turned back. He whirled around and pleading eyes whispered a single word, "Run." I ran. I turned around the corner and then I heard Patrick start to scream. Tears turned to steam as I ran down the avenue, Patrick was a hero. He saved our lives. And I learned the price of failure.

Horizon, RFUMS to Generate Human Cell Cystic Fibrosis Model
Horizon Discovery and the Rosalind Franklin University of Medical Sciences (RFUMS) are collaborating to develop a human cellular disease model of cystic fibrosis, developed using Horizon's Genesis™ genome editing technology. The cell model will comprise a lung cancer cell line that expresses in its own genome the specific CFTR mutation responsible for about 90% of cystic fibrosis patients.
Under terms of the partnership deal, RFUMS receives a perpetual academic research-use license to the relevant materials, and Horizon will be responsible for commercial distribution of the resulting cell lines. Funding for the project will come through a grant awarded to the RFUMS by Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics. Horizon says it plans to develop commercially available reference standards based on the modified cell line for use in quality assessment of cystic fibrosis tests.
FDA recently approved the first CFTR therapeutic for cystic fibrosis patients, but, as lead RFUMS researchers Neil Bradbury, M.D., points out, fewer than 5% of cystic fibrosis patients carry the mutational profile for which the drug was developed. "We hope that by creating this tool targeting the more common CFTR mutation, we can ultimately improve the lives of a far greater proportion of cystic fibrosis sufferers," he remarks. "Studies using non-human cell models have identified several potential CFTR therapeutics from high-throughput screens. We hope to improve the efficacy of this process by creating a more informative screening tool with Horizon's isogenic disease model cell lines, which we believe will also be useful for the broader research community."

Why the Owner Chose Kissimmee, FL, USA:
I grew up in Central Florida and now live in Brighton, England with my husband and two kids.

Being very familiar with the resort developments and various accommodations in the area, we can truly say that Windsor Palms is by far one of the best and exceeded all expectations. We knew this was where we wanted our vacation villa. We were very patient in our search until we found the perfect villa and we found it. We love this villa and sure you will too!
