By Lisa Haven
The Bible is clear that in the latter days there shall be an increase in earthquakes:
"There will be great earthquakes… and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven." Luke 21:11
"There will be earthquakes in various places…These are but the beginning of the birth pains." Mark 13:8
The big ones will hit during the Tribulation period (a seven-year time frame when all hell breaks loose and the Antichrist rises)
"And at that hour there was a great earthquake and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven." Revelation 11:13
"And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake." Revelation 16:18
Thankfully we are not living in the tribulation period at this time, however, it is clear according to Mark 13:8 (Scripture above) that earthquakes are a part of the birth pangs that we will experience prior to the Tribulation period, which is exactly what is happening today! And while the "big" one is due to hit during Tribulation, that doesn't mean that other events will be small. In fact, quite the contrary. Here's what I mean. Take a woman who is pregnant. During the beginning of her labor the birthing pains are small and far apart, but as she progresses the pain intensifies and the regularity increases. Thus it is with us today. We are seeing intensified and more regularity of earthquakes.
Over the past week, we have specifically seen an increase in the Yellowstone area. All that and more below…

Quake storms signify two possible things…1. Just relieving pressure 2. Major eruption about to happen.
Take your pick.
This end of days any day now 2nd coming of Jesus talk is nonsense and pure damnable heresy……Even Islamic theology is waiting for the second coming of Christ but this is also how we know slam dunk that Muhammad was a false teacher…just like most "bible teaching Christians"…….THE SECOND COMING Thou Fool! "I come quickly" so "Hold fast till i come"… NOT …"in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast"!?! …those that deny the second coming of Christ in that first generation are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8)…….Mat 7:23.."I NEVER KNEW YOU" …..Mat 10:33. But whosoever shall deny me before men……..sound familiar?…. ……. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES……. It is a biblical fact according to the bibles own figures that last days are the last 70 years of the number of years between BC596…to AD70 = 666 yrs the period of time outlined once as a MAN and once as a BEAST in Daniel Ch 2 & 7 respectively .as the time the 7 fold (7 seals/trumps vials) curse of the law of Moses was poured out on the physical seed of Israel purified until only a spiritual seed was left…
Gal 1: 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
The book of Revelation offers us an interesting Theological dilemma. It states Rev 22:16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation also states it is "the true sayings" of Jesus and that it is "the testimony of Christ". If this is not "the gospel of Jesus Christ" then what is it and should we consider it accursed testimony of an angel? If it is not to be considered accursed, then it cannot be some other gospel message then what was already given previously. However, this is the conundrum, for if this is the gospel message, then why do so few understand it? There is a possibility which few consider but is the overall thesis of this apology. The reason people don't understand revelation is because they never understood what the gospel message was in the first place! In that case, where does that put those who claim it is not essential for salvation? Do you not find it quite curious that the most "Personally" given NT book By Jesus himself, is the least understood and given the least importance for Salvation in Christendom?….There are numerous preachers and bible exegetes but as Paul said "… I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge" . Most who profess the name of Christ are feeding on doctrines of devils and the ignorant.. There are, without question, many "qualified" teachers and scholars with many years of "dedication" and "solid education". However, teachers, no matter how well lettered or numbered in degrees; if obtained from others; who are just as equally ignorant in such matters, are just " blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."………………

DAY OF THE LORD"/ YEAR OF THE LORD – does NOT last for 24 hours!?!..Also means the day of resurrection & judgment do not last for one hour or one day either! They only begin (NOT END) in a certain hour & on a certain 24 hour day …."SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to arise"…..NOT.."come & get (your new resurrected body) it while it is still hot, only 24 hours of solar power left"!?!
The second coming took place already and Christ promised that only HIS PEOPLE would see him ….John 14:19. Yet a little while, and THE WORLD SEETH ME NO MORE;….. [2 Cor 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ AFTER THE FLESH, yet NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE….(here the Context of John 14 is his second coming)…..continued…..but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. AT THAT DAY .. 21.

And THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL : and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. 11. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also THEY SAW GOD, and did eat and drink………..But Christ said….. John 1:18. NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. A person can see with their understanding and or see with their eyes…. It can see "seen" for certain that everything that Christ described was seen by the folks of that day in His coming but do they perceive that was him? …So what Christ said is true every eye saw him but the world does not see him….. With the eye they and folks still today can see everything Christ described to have taken place, but they do not "keep" ( believe and understand) his words as such they do not see him nor shall they ever.
The saints who have physical died faithful in the flesh (every man in his own order) are changed in the blink of an eye & caught up to sit on that Great white throne ( this congregation of the saints is the body of Christ that folks will answer to at the judgment and these saints will judge all men who cannot see Christ along with the rest of the world……Folks think they are waiting to see Jesus but they will NEVER see Jesus himself they will only see the body of Christ condemn them the saints judge the world (Rev 3:21; 1 Cor 6:2 et al) the saints are the body of Christ…that is the only part of Christ they shall see….only the saints shall see God face to face…..most peoples idea of the second coming & day of the Lord and the judgment is completely wrong

a very large percentage of what you include in your copy/paste stuff is simple to disprove using just a few scriptures.
I would not waste my time to do so as I do not believe you have the mental ability to comprehend much less the spiritual.
If you did — you would not be doing this silly copy/paste that God hates.
Goat God does not even want the same words repeated to HIM in a pray, why would HE subject us to what He hates?
GEOMAGNETIC REVERSAL….magnetic field has faded rapidly, poles have been exponentially moving faster towards equator…no concern among scientists, saying it will happen in 1,000 years but it isn't tied to mass extinction….the thing is it takes 100 years to complete and its been occurring for over 50! No mass extinction, that is there reason for no concern?! So if it kills off 99% of humans, where we live in, that isn't a concern?! They all state the same thing, like "its no big deal"….well when you talk about no protection from solar radiation and you talk about earthquake and volcanoes popping up all over the place, and you talk about large amounts of oxygen being lost into space from lack of magnetic fields and lack of the things between that and our basic atmosphere. I tend to worry lots will suffocate, lots will die from radiation….sure some will survive, so don't worry people there is nothing to worry about!
Sister Haven,
I have a question. If Yellowstone is going to blow as you say, then why in hell would anyone want to buy any of the crap you are pushing on your web site? I mean we wouldn't need it then, would we?
But…maybe you could start selling coffins, urns, and funeral plans? You have to change with the times, girl!!
How does one know if we are living in the tribulation or not? People, including christians, today would not recognize the tribulation.

My Lost Treasure: Wild Cherry
I know this seems like a crazy choice for My Lost Treasure, but I picked it because it's my brother in law Tim's birthday today. We go back a long way, and for some reason we both knew and liked that song… and have even been know to do a mean duet. Or maybe it was horrible. Either way, it was fun. He's the best brother in law in the world, and I love him. Happy birthday, Tim!

That's because the kernel is only doing what you tell it to do. The
matheamtica kernel is single threaded. You will only 'get a result'
when the entire function has been evaluated.

You can get the kernel to Print[] the results as it maps like:
((Print[#]; #)&@f[#]) & /@ Range[10]
but this still won't allow you to use the results in the kernel until
the entire Map call has ended.
(unless, of course, you use another mathematica kernel).

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Over the next few years, Hayden remained remarkably productive, issuing a slew of indie singles and EPs that have since become out of print collectors' items. The year 1996 saw the release of the four-song Mild and Hazy 7" (Hardwood Recordings), which included a thunderous cover of the Pixies' classic "Gouge Away," as well as a hard to find split 7", Lunar Landing Confirmed, whose track list also featured Canadian cohorts Poledo. Two Poledo members, Mitch Roth and Kid Lunch (aka Joshua Malinsky), went on to become fixtures of Hayden's touring and recording band. Meanwhile, Hayden was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1996 Steve Buscemi-directed film Trees Lounge, for which he provided the moody but decidedly rocking title track.
Hayden ushered in 1997 with yet another 7", Carry on Mentality, on the Canadian label Landspeed Records. The same year also saw the release of the singer/songwriter's first EP, Moving Careful (Sonic Unyon Records/Hardwood Records). A fitting continuation of the first LP, Moving Careful was a mostly acoustic, eight-song outing that continued the Hayden tradition of finding haunting beauty and heartbreak in things as simple as a haircut or a shared cigarette. As the year closed out, the artist began working on his second LP, which would represent both a mild stylistic divergence and the beginning of a series of unfortunate events.
The Closer I Get, released by Outpost in 1998, was Hayden's first international release, as well as his first completely major-label outing. The record was a slight shift from his past efforts and featured a full band on most tracks, along with a more rock-oriented feel in comparison to his earlier folky efforts. The first single, the drum machine-powered "The Hazards of Sitting Beneath Palm Trees," received modest airplay, and touring stints with Juliana Hatfield and the Tragically Hip brought Hayden to a slightly larger audience -- but as critical applause and adoration from his disarmingly loyal fans increased, major commercial success continued to elude him. Within the next year, Outpost was dissolved and Hayden was dropped from the Geffen imprint altogether.
Over the next few years, he disappeared from the public eye and was rarely seen outside of his hometown. An absence of new material was disheartening, but despite his reclusive status, a growing Internet fan base kept hope alive and waited patiently to hear anything at all. A few mysterious rumblings began in early 2001, and by the middle of the year it was announced that Hayden was at work in his home studio on some type of new recording. One hundred handmade copies of Skyscraper National Park, Hayden's third full-length album, surfaced at the end of the summer -- and based on the instant buzz, a second limited-edition run of 1,500 was created for a short Canadian tour that fall. Despite his long absence, the shows were a series of well-received and mostly sold-out affairs, and the disc's second pressing disappeared almost as quickly as the first. With such positive feedback welcoming him back to the music scene, Hayden was finally persuaded to release the record to a wide audience through the now Universal-distributed Hardwood Records in October 2001. The 11-track disc aligned itself with his quieter early material, albeit with a newfound sense of playful happiness and a greater reliance on the higher-range vocals that were previously avoided.
In 2002, Hayden switched his label alliances to Badman and surfaced with a concert recording entitled Live from Convocation Hall. The double-disc record captured a sold-out stint in Toronto and included material from Hayden's three previous albums, as well as a cover of Neil Young's "Tell Me Why." His next studio recording, 2004's Elk-Lake Serenade, proved to be his best album to date, while 2008's In Field & Town saw him returning, once again, to his acoustic roots. In an uncharacteristic move, Hayden made a quick return to the studio, where he recorded The Place Where We Lived in time for a May 2009 release. The year 2013 saw the release of Us Alone, a relatively stripped-down and deeply personal collection of new songs. Much of 2014 was spent either on tour or hard at work on eighth album Hey Love. Recorded almost completely in his Toronto-based home studio, it shared a similarly confessional and melancholic tone as its predecessor. The album was released in early 2015 by Arts & Crafts. ~ Peter J. D'Angelo

Three Moderately Cautionary Tales
Three Moderately Cautionary Tales
'Three Moderately Cautionary Tales' is a series of fifty hard-ground etchings in three cycles: each cycle loosely follows the narrative arc of an epiphany. The etchings draw their imagery from a wide range of sources—Eadweard Muybridge, Jorge Luis Borges, magazine images, pictures from e-bay, Old Master paintings, Wittgenstein, Kurt Schwitters, and the artist's nephew.
'The Gilderbook' (from which images 2 and 3 are taken) narrates the protagonist's unrelenting pursuit of beauty. The etchings trace his obsession with gilding and its effect on his world, and the progressive incorporation of gold leaf in the etchings formally mirrors the encroachment that they narrate; the narrative bleeds into the form. 'Hieronymus the Lion Tamer' is about the hope of transformation. The hero's attempts to escape from a vocational malaise lead the surrender of a talent and the pursuit of a new one. The talents are opposites but a similarity—through the historical association between the lion and the bee—lingers . 'Alfred's Library' (which the first image begins) describes over-zealous pursuit of knowledge which turns out to be fragile; Alfred's solace is found in rest.

Testing company thrives as drug firms outsource

QPS is a laboratory testing service for biotech's. The firm just won DelawareBio's company of the year. (AP Photo/The Wilmington News-Journal, Jennifer Corbett) NO SALES
NEWARK, Del. (AP) — Ben Chien was and continues to be the right guy, in the right market with the right chemistry of business savvy and scientific expertise to grow a startup testing firm into a globally leading multimillion-dollar enterprise.
And all of this he accomplishes with unwavering humility, compassion for his teams of chemists around the world, and cutting-edge know-how driving QPS to the head of the pack.
Chien is president and founder of QPS Holdings LLC, based at Delaware Technology Park in Newark in 1996 and has brought the firm a long way since. On May 22, QPS was tagged DelawareBio's company of the year at an annual gala in Wilmington.
Chemists at QPS analyze blood, urine and tissue samples to [auth] better understand the concentration of a drug and how it is absorbed into and excreted by the body. Such test results are federally required for drug companies looking to bring new medicines to market, creating a robust demand for services.
"I started QPS with $280,000 in funding and three employees," said Chien, who founded the firm at 37, leaving behind a position at the former DuPont Merck pharmaceutical venture. "And we've been profitable since the first year, growing organically until 2008 when we started making acquisitions" of testing firms overseas.
Inside QPS, the walls are colored by lab coats, shelving of glass beakers and test tubes, latex gloves and protective masks. Chemists buzz about million-dollar machinery arrayed in a maze of workstations. Chien, 53, was touring the local facility last month in a visit from California, where he moved in 2005 to ease his travel schedule to sites in Asia and elsewhere.
In the past five years, QPS has quadrupled its revenue, recording roughly $110 million in 2012 and navigating smoothly through a $10 billion industry. It has a 1,100-member global workforce, with 230 at its Delaware headquarters.
"The company is very family-oriented and mutually respectful," Chien said. "Management here is serving rather than demanding. There is a work-life balance with mutual consideration for each other and we try to get involved in giving back to the community and support our employee's passions outside of work."
QPS re-branded and changed its name from Quest Pharmaceutical Services to avoid confusion with Quest Diagnostics labs for patients. It is an acronym for quality, performance, services. In 2012, the company hired 30 to 40 employees and will continue to hire to accommodate growth, including those with doctorate degrees, chemistry and biology degrees, financial backgrounds and other post-graduate degrees, Chien said.
The CRO — contract research organization — conducts bioanalytical testing of developmental medicines for biotechs and giant pharmaceutical companies including AstraZeneca, which has its offices for the Americas in Fairfax, and Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer.
Many drug companies outsource testing services, which creates fluid demand for firms like QPS, Chien explains.
Often when drugmakers like AstraZeneca are plagued by revenue declines from the loss of patent protection on billion-dollar drugs, operations are scaled back and function previously done in-house are contracted out.
In the case of smaller biotechs, it may be as simple as being under-equipped to conduct the testing required to gain regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"The industry exists because pharmaceutical companies have drug pipelines and cannot keep staff at the 100 percent level and typically outsource to CROs like ours more and more," Chien said. "And a lot of biotechs don't have the infrastructure internally."
Predictable factors maintain the firm's stronghold on the industry, marked by a talented and dedicated workforce and fluid investments in state-of-the-art equipment to the tune of $4 million annually at its locations in the U.S. and abroad. QPS has acquired testing firms in Sweden, India, Taiwan, where Chien is from, and the Netherlands.
"We will continue to grow," Chien said. "I have always believed in business you have to be competitive and keep growing and provide employees the opportunity to advance."

Californians Say Voters Should Have Voice in Budget Choices
Most Back Special Election On Browns Plan, But Many Balk At Specific Tax Hikes
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1, 2011The vast majority of Californians think voters should have a say in budget decisions this year, according to a statewide survey released today by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), with support from The James Irvine Foundation. In this survey-taken just after Governor Jerry Brown released his revised budget proposal in May77 percent of adults (76% likely voters) say voters should make some of the decisions about taxing and spending, while just 20 percent of adults (21% likely voters) say the governor and legislature should make all of these decisions.
On the specific question of whether there should be a special election on Browns proposed tax and fee package to prevent further budget cuts, 68 percent of adults and 62 percent of likely voters say a special election is a good idea. Support for this ideawhich dropped between January and Marchhas increased among all adults (67% January, 54% March, 58% April) and likely voters (66% January, 51% March, 56% April).
Majorities of adults (64%) and likely voters (62%) favor the governors revised budget proposal, which includes an $11 billion reduction in the budget deficit already approved and would close the remaining gap through temporary tax increases, tax revenues that have been higher than expected, and more spending cuts. Browns plan also includes increased funding for K12 public schools and community colleges, and places about $1 billion in reserve.
But while most Californians generally approve of Browns plan when read this summary, they oppose the specifics of his tax and fee package. Fewer than half of adults (41%) or likely voters (46%) support his proposal to extend temporary increases in state sales tax and vehicle license fees for five years and to reinstate a temporary income tax increase in 2012 for four years. Republicans (58%) and independents (53%) are more opposed than Democrats (49% favor, 42% oppose). Among those who favor a special election, opinion is divided on Browns tax and fee package among adults (47% favor, 45% oppose).
"Californians have favorable views of the governors revised budget plan and his special election idea, says Mark Baldassare, PPIC president and CEO. "Yet the fact that fewer than half support his tax and fee package raises questions about the outcome if the voters have their say.
Browns Approval Rating At 42 Percent
There is no consensus on how Californians would like to deal with the states multibillion-dollar budget gap: 40 percent prefer a mix of spending cuts and tax increases, while 36 percent favor mostly spending cuts. Just 9 percent prefer mostly tax increases and 8 percent say its OK to borrow and run a deficit. When it comes to the tough choices involved in state budgeting, half of Californians prefer the approach of Brown (23%) or of the Democrats in the legislature (27%), and 24 percent prefer the approach of the legislatures Republicans.
Asked how they feel about the way Brown is handling his job, 42 percent of adults approve, 24 percent disapprove, and 33 percent dont know. Likely voters rate the governor similarly (46% approve, 28% disapprove), but they are less likely to say they dont know (25%). Browns job approval rating among adults is similar to his rating in April and has rebounded somewhat from February (41% January, 34% February, 34% March, 40% April, 42% today). His job approval rating among likely voters follows a similar pattern (47% January, 41% February, 41% March, 46% April, 46% today). Job approval ratings for the legislature are much lower than the governors: 23 percent of adults and 17 percent of likely voters approve (58% adults, 72% likely voters disapprove).
Most Want Spending Cuts In Prisons, Corrections
When asked about cutting spending to help reduce the state budget deficit, solid majorities of adults and likely voters oppose cuts in three of the four largest budget categories: K12 public education (76% adults, 73% likely voters), higher education (68% adults, 64% likely voters) or health and human services (66% adults, 61% likely voters). But they support cuts in the fourth category: prisons and corrections (62% adults, 70% likely voters).
Californians say they are willing to pay higher taxes to maintain current funding levels for K12 public education (69%), for higher education (56%), and for health and human services (57%). Most likely voters (63%) would pay higher taxes for K12 schools, but they are divided on higher education (51% yes, 47% no) and on health and human services (51% yes, 47% no). But in this surveytaken mainly before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that California must reduce its prison population79 percent of adults and 80 percent of likely voters oppose paying more in taxes to maintain current funding levels for prisons and corrections.
"Public opinion is an obstacle to finding solutions to prison overcrowding, Baldassare says. "While Californians disagree on many fiscal issues, they overwhelmingly oppose tax increasesand favor spending cutsfor prisons and corrections.
While Californians say they are generally willing to consider higher taxes for public schools, higher education, and health and human services, fewer than half support raising taxes and fees in specific categories:
Local Governments Viewed As More Trustworthy Than State
Californians negative views of the states elected officials are echoed in their lack of trust in state government. Only about a quarter of residents say they can trust state government to do what is right just about always (5% adults, 2% likely voters) or most of the time (22% adults, 16% likely voters). Majorities say they can trust state government to do what is right only some or none of the time (72% adults, 81% likely voters). Most (67% adults, 72% likely voters) feel that state government is pretty much run by a few big interests looking out for themselves rather than for the benefit of all the people. Fewerbut still a majoritysay local government is run by a few big interests (54% adults, 53% likely voters). Asked about trust in their local government, about a third say they can trust local government to do what is right just about always (6% adults, 5% likely voters) or most of the time (29% adults, 30% likely voters).
Brown has proposed shifting funding and responsibility for some programs from the state to local governments. Asked about the relationship between state and local governments, Californians say theres a need for change, with 52 percent saying major changes are needed, 32 percent saying minor changes are needed, and just 11 percent saying the relationship is fine as is. Who should have the most control in deciding how money from state government is spent at the local level? Strong majorities (70% adults, 78% likely voters) prefer local government over state government (25% adults, 18% likely voters).
If there is a realignment of responsibilities, local governments may need to find new ways to raise revenues, and fiscal reforms have been suggested to address this issue. Asked their views on lowering the vote requirement to pass local special taxes from two-thirds to 55 percent, just over half of adults (54%) and 51 percent of likely voters say this is a good idea. Other reforms proposed to address structural issues in the state budget get the support of strong majorities: 72 percent of adults (75% likely voters) say it would be a good idea to strictly limit the amount of money by which the state can increase spending each year, and 70 percent of adults (69% likely voters) say it would be a good idea to increase the size of the states rainy day fund.
Support For InitiativesAnd For Reforms In The Process
By strong majorities, Californians say it is a good thing that voters can make laws and change public policies by passing initiatives (75% adults, 73% likely voters), and that decisions made through the initiative process are probably better than decisions made by the governor and legislature (62% adults and likely voters). But most also say major changes (39% adults, 37% likely voters) or minor ones (37% adults, 40% likely voters) are needed in the process.
Four reforms suggested for the initiative process are favored by majorities of residents:
More Key Findings
The PPIC Statewide Survey has provided policymakers, the media, and the general public with objective, advocacy-free information on the perceptions, opinions, and public policy preferences of California residents since 1998. This survey is part of a series that examines the social, economic, and political trends that influence public policy preferences and ballot choices. It is supported with funding from The James Irvine Foundation. Findings are based on a telephone survey of 2,005 California adult residents interviewed on landlines and cell phones from May 1724, 2011. Interviews were conducted in English or Spanish according to respondents preferences. The sampling error, taking design effects from weighting into consideration, is ±3.6 percent for all adults, ±3.9 percent for the 1,338 registered voters, and ±4.3 percent for the 989 likely voters. For more information on methodology, see page 24.
Mark Baldassare is president and CEO of PPIC, where he holds the Arjay and Frances Fearing Miller Chair in Public Policy. He is founder of the PPIC Statewide Survey, which he has directed since 1998.
PPIC is dedicated to informing and improving public policy in California through independent, objective, nonpartisan research on major economic, social, and political issues. The institute was established in 1994 with an endowment from William R. Hewlett. As a private operating foundation, PPIC does not take or support positions on any ballot measure or on any local, state, or federal legislation, nor does it endorse, support, or oppose any political parties or candidates for public office.

Florida State fans aren't going to easily forget their first win against Florida after seven consecutive losses to their rival.
A group of Seminoles fans paid $850 to a fly a banner over the Gators spring game for an hour. It read: "31-7 Go Noles!"
The hardest part of the prank was finding someone to actually fly the plane. Several pilots at AirSign would not take the job because they were Florida fans. The responsibility fell to owner Patrick Walsh.
"One of our sales people sold this thing. We're a standard company. We can't be discriminatory," Walsh told the Orlando Sentinel. "Most of our other pilots didn't want to fly it."
Walsh said he got some ribbing from friends while his plane was in the air.
"I was getting all these hate text messages from people that we know," Walsh said. "I was counting down the seconds until the hour was over."
The sign was noticed by Gators players, which should heighten the rivalry some more this season. Defensive end Lynden Trail posted the following message on his Twitter page.
"Great day to be a gator :-) and that plane that flew over our stadium we coming."

Cubicle Fever: Is There Life At Your Desk?
I bet if you swap the one in the conference room for your vintage tube TV, no one would even notice.
When the days are shortest, but feel the longest... when it's dark when you leave for work and dark when you get home... when those partition walls are closing in and you just don't think you can stand another minute at your desk... that's when you've got a bad case of Cubicle Fever. It's like cabin fever, but less rustic.

I Didn't Know the Cameras Were Rolling When I Was Born [VIDEO]
My family was too poor to own a video camera when I was growing up. So there are no videos of me doing something cute or stupid (thankfully) floating out there. Or are there?
This kid isn't me, but it certainly could have been! If there were cameras around when I was born, I can just about bet it would have captured me doing this. You see, I've been known to ummm…. over use the California Howdy – especially when driving. Hey, don't judge me, I lived in New York for 10 years, you'd learn to use it too!
This kid is 15 minutes old and tells dad exactly what she's thinking!

America's Cup vet speaking at Sailing Industry ConferencePosted on
PUMA Ocean Racing Skipper Ken Read and Americas Cup veteran and BMW Oracle Racing executive Tom Ehman will share insights about the Volvo Ocean Race and Americas Cup, respectively, in Newport, R.I.
Their presentations will be delivered at the Sailing Industry Conference June 11-12.
Sail America and Sail Magazine are presenting Read at the conferences welcome reception from 6-10 p.m. June 11 at the Newport Yachting Center.
Widely regarded as one of the top American professional sailors, Read has won at every level of the sport. He's a world champion, America's Cup helmsman, and now skipper of PUMA Ocean Racing, a competitor in the Volvo Ocean Race, said Sail publisher Josh Adams, in a statement.
The Sailing Company, publishers of Cruising World and Sailing World magazines, is presenting Ehman, head of external affairs for BMW Oracle Racing, as the after-dinner speaker at the conferences gala dinner from 6:30-11 p.m. June 12 at the International Yacht Restoration School.
Tom Ehman has been on the front lines of the Americas Cup and he will be joining us at a particularly timely moment, since the next court hearing is due June 5 that will impact the future of the Cup, said Sally Helme, publisher of Cruising World and Sailing World magazines, in a statement. We also invited Tom because he has been involved in many of the changes and innovations that have transformed top-level sailing into the modern, professional and more media-friendly sport that it is today.

Elgin Academic All-District II Team
Men's College Soccer
Rider's Elgin District II All-Academic Team
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ-- Rider University senior Eric Elgin, the captain of the men's soccer team, has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District II men's soccer team, and his name will now appear on the Academic All-America ballot.
"Eric is the epitome of what a student-athlete should be," said Rider head coach Charlie Inverso. "In all the years that I have been coaching I don't know if I have ever had a more responsible and reliable player. Elgin is not only bright academically he is well read and very knowledgeable about what is going on in the world."
A senior center back from Mechanicsburg, PA, Elgin is a veteran of 62 games and has started 53 games for Rider, including every game this season.
An accounting major with a 3.97 cumulative grade point average, Elgin has helped Rider lower its goals against average from 2.44 last year to 1.22 this year. Playing almost every minute of every game, the three-time Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference All-Academic team member has received high praise from his head coach.
"In my 25 plus years coaching on the college level, Elgin is the best leader I have ever had," said Inverso, who has seen over 40 of his former players become college or high school coaches.
The only senior on the young Rider squad, Elgin leads through example on and off the field. Off the field, Elgin is the President of the Catholic Campus Ministry at Rider. As the main defender on the field, he has led Rider to the fourth fewest goals allowed in the 11-team MAAC.
Rider has three games remaining in the regular season before the MAAC Championship Tournament.

When Kris Kelly was in 5th grade she read a book for a book report about an old lady and and an old horse. They were friends and spent a lot of time together. Kris remembers her teacher asking her over and over "Why do you think they are such good friends"....as Kris was talking her teacher kept saying "Keep talking...keep talking". Kris finally said "Because they are BOTH lonely and need each other". The teacher gave her a big smile and then an A on her oral book report.
That scene has run through Kris's mind over the years. She didn't know what would come of this memory that she couldn't shake. As she grew older she developed a yearning to have the elderly, animals, and children work together.
The Kris Kelly Foundation is an animal rescue organization that embraces the elderly and children (that includes teenagers).
People have to understand that they have to live with the animals and animals NEED people. We all need each other. We are all one and together we can all help the ones in need heal.
There are a lot of lonely souls that are in need of healing and The Kris Kelly Foundation is here to find those souls and then heal them. Souls come in all ages, sizes, skin colors, fur, skin, and races. We embrace everyone. Whatever costume you wear on your jouney in this life underneath the costume is a being that is full of love. We at The Kris Kelly Foundation embrace "Humanity" and we give dignity and a voice to the animals that need someone to do it for them.
Thank You!

My names Andrew Alexander and I'm an art director in LA. Were shooting a film in Barstow CA and are in need of renting a Subaru WRX. Im writing to ask if anyone would be interested in renting their Subaru to us for three weeks. We have a budget so we would obviously be paying them and are fully insured. You could make some easy money and have your Subaru featured in a major motion picture. Please feel free to email me or call my cell if you're interested.
Thanks, Andrew

SoDA Pops for Digitaria
The Society of Digital Agencies (SoDA) has admitted digital marketing and technology agency Digitaria, a JWT Company, to its membership.
SoDA is an international association of respected digital marketing agency leaders and entrepreneurs with a history and a vision for the future of marketing. It serves as a voice for digital marketing professionals worldwide, providing infrastructure, processes, and products to enable collaboration between members and with a mission to advance the industry through Best Practices, Education, and Advocacy.
"It's been a great couple years for Digitaria, and being asked to join SoDA and its group of highly respected digital firms feels like passing another threshold," said Doug Hecht, Digitaria's COO and President, who will be the agency's primary point of contact for the society. "Digitaria is honored to join such an elite group, and we look forward to contributing our unique voice to help propel the modern marketing and communications conversation."
SoDA is an extremely selective non-profit association of the world's most preeminent companies with digital DNA. SoDA's membership includes 60 leading digital companies (including top digital agencies and elite production companies) with offices in 22 countries, across 5 continents, employing over 2,700 digital professionals.
The membership process starts with SoDA's Regional Membership Committees, who are responsible for the first level of company evaluations. Their recommendations are then brought to SoDA's full membership for the final vote, which is then ratified by the SoDA Board of Directors. Digitaria successfully navigated the selection process from a field of more than 100 companies that had applied for membership since the last election was held in May.
"We're thrilled to have this class of new members on board and I know that they are all excited about getting involved in the work of our organization. I believe the C-level members from these companies, as well as their representatives within SoDA's 15+ peer collaboration groups (i.e., heads of agency disciplines such as Creative, Account Planning/Strategy and Analytics, among others), will add tremendous value and further diversify the range of perspectives and opinions voiced through our programs, events and communications."

Two UF Professors on Oprah's Summer Reading List
Jill Cement and Mary Robison have a few things in common.
Both are professors at the University of Florida. They teach in the creative writing program and are accomplished authors.
And they can add one more thing to that list, all thanks to Oprah.
Both women say they were surprised to find their names in the July issue of "O" magazine. But the reason was that both of their books made the 2009 Summer Reading List, which is a collection of 25 select books.
Ciment said she was even more excited to see her book, "Heroic Measures," make the list with Robison's "One D.O.A., One on the Way".
Both women said being on the list will hopefully get their books into the hands of new readers among Oprah's fan base. But, more importantly, they hope it gets people to take the time to turn pages from any book.
So whether you're at a bank or at the beach this summer, these authors hope you take a book with you.
Robison's book, "One D.O.A., One on the Way," just came out in March. Ciment's "Heroic Measures" is due out on June 30.

The Wine Rack - secret bra flask
"Now you can turn an A cup in to double Ds AND sport your favorite beverage for yourself and your friends!" Like the beer belly, you slip this on under your clothes, fill them with your favorite beverage, and enjoy the stares. Of course, you'll need to gauge your drinking along with your party mates. Wait until they're pretty well gone before guzzling your gazongas, because they'll be wondering where they went.
classic and timeless.
This is so funny! This is for anyone who goes to the gas station to buy a 40 and puts it in a brown paper bag!
Be prepared with this stainless steel flask, each classically curved and topped with an attached twist cap. Finished with a bold Plan B engraving at the front.
Shaped like a conventional hip flask, this super-sized version holds a one gallon.
I really like this flask. There's just something about it!
This makes sneaking in alcohol to events even sneakier. I love it.
I hid this under my ball gown when I went to the prom. Boy was I popular, but it was hard to dance...

Vitamin D affects lung development: study
Australian researchers have found vitamin D deficiency can lead to poor lung function and changes in lung growth.
Doctor Graeme Zosky from Perth's Telethon Institute compared two-week-old mice with vitamin D deficiency to normal mice.
He found mice with a vitamin D deficiency had weaker lungs and that the difference was substantial.
"This finding is an important first step," Dr Zosky said.
"We need to do more research to see if there is a benefit in giving vitamin D supplements to pregnant women or babies at higher risk of lung disease as a preventative strategy."
The research has implications for preventing lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

UK to cut official document release to 20 years
By Tim Castle
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Secret documents from the days of Margaret Thatcher's government could emerge sooner than expected after Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced on Wednesday a cut in the time taken to release official papers.
He said the existing 30-year rule on the publication of state documents would be reduced to 20 years following a review chaired by Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail.
Historian Hugh Pemberton welcomed the decision, but warned that a rush of extra documents could swamp civil servants tasked with selecting important papers for the public archives.
The Dacre review, which had recommended a cut to 15 years, proposed that government departments should phase in the reduction by releasing two years of documents each year until they caught up.
"That is fine if that is resourced properly," said Pemberton, a history lecturer at Bristol University.
"The danger is if you just say to the existing staff you've got to do twice as much work, that creates an incentive to destroy records," he said.
Pemberton, who is researching British pension policy, said he was keen to read advice given to ministers in Thatcher's Conservative cabinet in the early 1980s, when it was decided to break the link between the state pension and average earnings.
Nottingham University professor John Young said many historians were concerned there could be a loss in the accuracy of official records if civil servants thought their notes could be read later in their career. Continued...

Personal Information
Personal Bio
I'm relatively new to cosplay but I've always been interested in it. I watch a bit of Anime and have read some Manga.
I'm likely to cosplay anything that I like the look of and think I have a chance at either making or buying.
Cosplay Bio
I was always interested in cosplay due to seeing so many amazing costumes online. I got started because a mate mentioned he was going to an Expo, that he was cosplaying and asked if I'd like to come too. I thought it would be a great idea as I'd get to see a load of cosplayers and try it myself.
My proudest moment and greatest achievement so far is making my own Riddler costume out of old clothes I found mostly in charity shops.

Tuning my Duratec 05
I would love to buy a tuning kit for my car. Any suggestions on what to buy and what programing would be best? How abouts to increase my hp.
AFAIC.....Buying an expensive "tune" for an almost stock car, is a total waste, unless you intend to do engine mods. And I'm not talking about a CAI or a SRI by itself. I doubt you'd gain anything at all, except a very minor difference in the numbers off a dyno.......if that.
You can probably add to that a custom exhaust. So what's left to require a tune? Maybe a fancy Cosworth intake, different cams, and a Turbo for sure. The OEM Ford "tune" will compensate for many changes you make, by itself. That's what the MAFS, O2 sensors, and god knows what else....is doing without any outside "tune".
My 2c.....
IF you buy a tune from turbo tom, he will update it as long as you stay NA.
I have intake, header, and exhaust and felt a nice improvement with his tune, not so much a power improvement but just the way the car drives is much nicer, the power band feels more "smooth".
well i have a intake for now, the sensor keeps throwing an engine code. i have to re mod the intake first to see if will help. If it does not, would a tuner help that out? If it does work, yeah for me. Im just try to make my car a bit smoother ride and sound great. What would be a good step to take then after intake install?
Did you reset the ECU after installing the intake?
hey.... how do you reset the ecu?
Disconnect the battery.
how long would you disconnect the battery?

Europe Approves Solar Deal, Chinese Solar Stocks Mixed
China and Europe have moved one step closer to avoiding a solar trade war. Today, Europe approved a deal between the two that would remove tariffs on Chinese solar panels but also limit how cheaply they can be sold.
Bloomberg has the details:
The European Commission approved trade chief Karel De Gucht's plan for curbs on Chinese solar panels, allowing import tariffs to be removed next week in Europe's largest dumping dispute.
The commission, the European Union's executive arm in Brussels, today endorsed a negotiated settlement with China that sets a minimum price and a volume limit on EU imports of Chinese solar panels until the end of 2015. Chinese manufacturers that take part will be spared EU duties meant to counter below-cost sales, a practice known as dumping.
Solar stocks are mixed on the news. While Trina Solar (TSL) has gained 1.8% to $7.45 and Canadian Solar (CSIQ)has climbed 1.3% to $14.57, LDK Solar (LDK) has dropped 3.1% to $1.58, Hanwha SolarOne (HSOL) has fallen 2.8% to $3.43 and Suntech Power Holdings (STP) has dippe 1.4% to $1.37. Maybe because the only news that would have mattered would have been a European Commission rejection?
In other news, Siemens expects Japan to continue a shift away from nuclear energy. Reuters reports:
Siemens AG, Europe's biggest engineering company, expects Japan to almost double its capacity of renewable energy by 2030, while continuing with nuclear power generation even after the Fukushima disaster.
Renewable energy may account for 35 percent of capacity in 2030, compared with 19 percent in 2011, Kenichi Fujita, senior executive operating officer at Siemens Japan K.K., told reporters in Tokyo today. Wind power may provide more than half of the renewable capacity, he said.

Breakfast Wrap
Recipe by Stoblogger
Start with a soft, fresh flour tortilla and within minutes you'll create a hot, wholesome breakfast. The possibilities are endless when creating this low calorie, scrumptious breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
Top Review by mama smurf
Made this as written only adding a little salsa and avocado slices on top. This made for a quick and delicious breakfast. You could add about anything you would like maybe some diced ham and of course next time for me onions. Thank you for posting...Made for My Three Chefs June 2012 tag game.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1⁄2 ounce of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 scrambled egg
- 1 strip bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 tablespoon ready-made bruschetta
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat electric grill or panini press to medium hot temperature.
- Scramble the egg and cook the bacon or sausage. It's nice to have these ingredients pre-made and kept in airtight containers in the fridge.
- Regardless when you cook them, always start assembling the sandwich with precooked meats and eggs.
- Assemble the wrap by laying out the tortilla on a flat surface or large plate, brush with olive oil for taste if you prefer.
- Spoon on a few tablespoons of thawed chopped spinach or use a few leaves of fresh spinach.
- Sprinkle on grated cheese, any variety will do, or use sliced cheese if you prefer.
- Sprinkle on bacon or sausage crumbles, or strips of ham, etc.
- Add the cooked, scrambled egg.
- Then roll up the tortilla burrito style, by tucking each end and rolling to about 1 1/2 inch thickness so all ingredients are nicely wrapped and tucked inside.
- Spray the grill, if you must, with a little non-stick cooking spray and place the wrap(s) on the grill.
- Cook just until lightly toasted on each side, about three minutes.
- Serve with bruschetta, grated Parmesan cheese, avocado slices, salsa -- or leave off the toppings and make it "to go".
- No panini press or electric grill, no problem! Just place the wrap in a hot, non-stick skillet for a couple of minutes on each side, flipping once.
- The possibilities are endless with this sandwich. Make it completely vegan or all meat, use white flour, fat-free, or whole wheat tortillas, make it Mexican or Italian, chicken or turkey, use black beans, asparagus, sour cream, or cheddar.

Two point boundary value problems
Is there a package written either by Wolfram or by other users which solves
two point boundary value problems in one dimension. That is, a package
something like NDSolve, but where the boundary conditions can be specified
at two different points and not all at a single point. This would help me
and my group in our work on statistical mechanics of membranes. The
package would be most effective if it allowed high order derivatives and
not just second order differential equations.
Many Thanks.

RICHMOND, VA and RALEIGH, NC -- A proposed ban on Internet-based sweepstakes videogames in Virginia passed a key state Senate committee (Courts of Justice Committee) by an 8-5 vote.
Separately, the Virginia Supreme Court has a sweepstakes videogame case in its docket. Local prosecutors closed down a Spotsylvania County tobacco shop for running the devices; the owner sued the state.
Local Virginia police raids on sweepstakes cafés are continuing around the state. The latest, in Portsmouth, saw officials seizing equipment from one venue and serving a warrant at a second.
In North Carolina, a growing number of newspapers have published reports that Gov. Bev Perdue is considering legalizing sweepstakes videogames to help make up the state's $3.7 billion budget shortfall. Some industry spokesmen have estimated the current sweepstakes videogame market at $1.8 billion annually.
A recent newspaper story also confirmed that the plan under review by Perdue's administration would put legal sweeps games under the control of the state lottery, effectively shutting down existing operator-run sweeps devices.
Perdue's spokesman will say only that the governor "has not made any decision yet."
Partial enforcement of North Carolina's statewide ban on sweeps games began Jan. 1. The law was originally intended to ban all videogame terminals running sweepstakes games. But last November, a superior court ruling awarded First Amendment protections for games with amusement-style gameplay in place of casino-style gameplay.
In recent weeks, some sweepstakes videogame operators have reported that amusement-style gameplay is proving surprisingly popular with customers. Many observers had expected these games to earn much less after casino-emulation presentations were removed.
Brad Crone, a spokesman for the Entertainment Group of North Carolina, said operators would be happy to work with Perdue to regulate operator-run sweepstakes games. EGNC has repeatedly published estimates of $500 million in annual tax revenues to the state from regulation.

New foe for Ishe Smith
By Flattop
Chris Gray – who lost a decision to Cuban amateur star Erislandy Lara this past Saturday on the undercard of Manny Pacquaio vs. Ricky Hatton megafight – is replacing Brian Mihtar as the opponent for Ishe Smith in the main event of Friday's Guilty Boxing's "Punchout at the Plaza" event at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Mihtar withdrew from the card earlier this week complaining of dehydration.
Guilty Boxing's matchmaker "Big" Jeff Grmoja stated: "I am glad to find an opponent for Smith at the last minute. Gray was outclassed by Lara but Lara has around 300 amateur fights. Lara would beat most of the top ten jr middleweights today and Chris Gray went the distance with him. Gray is in good shape having fought last week and he showed good defensive skills against Lara. He will give Ishe a good fight!" Several more bouts featuring top talent from the gyms of Vegas will be featured. The doors open at 6pm and the first bout is at 7 pm. Tickets are still available at the box office.

Westmoreland County women on fire-stricken ship retain faith in cruise line
The fire that cut short the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Grandeur of the Seas' voyage from Baltimore to several Caribbean destinations last week hasn't soured two area friends' opinion of the company.
Barbara Trump of New Alexandria and Brenda Mitchell of Greensburg had cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past, and both have said they plan to go again.
Mitchell, in fact, said she already has her next Royal Caribbean trip booked for October — on a different ship in the fleet. She would book another trip on the Grandeur, too, she noted.
"I would go back on it," she said of the fire-damaged vessel. "No doubt in my mind."
"They're our favorite," Trump said of the cruise line. "I'm ready to go on another one through Royal Caribbean. They're giving us our money back, they're giving us a free cruise, they gave us our pictures free."
Trump was on her fourth cruise, and Mitchell, a cruise veteran with 21 cruises under her belt, was on her seventh Royal Caribbean cruise. The friends were in their stateroom near the middle of the ship when the fire broke out early May 27 while the ship was en route to the Bahamas.
After a report from the captain over the intercom, Trump said, crew members went door to door to alert passengers and direct them to designated areas of the ship.
"I guess it's the first time the crew on the ship had an experience like this also," Mitchell said. "But they were so calm and quiet and efficient that you would never know that. Everything was explained to the letter what was going to happen as far as safety features, lifeboats."
"Everybody was calm. It made us feel safe that they were smiling, they weren't scared," Trump added.
The fire damage was substantial enough to force Royal Caribbean to scrap the remainder of the itinerary, but the ship's power, propulsion and communications systems remained functional.
The ship detoured to Freeport, Bahamas, after the fire and all 2,224 passengers were flown back to Baltimore via chartered planes.
Trump said she met Royal Caribbean Chief Executive Officer Adam Goldstein as he visited passengers after the fire.
"I gave him all good reports on his people," she said.
Upon arrival back in Baltimore, Royal Caribbean representatives were just as helpful as they had been onboard.
"Every 20 feet or so, there was somebody to show us where to go (in the airport)," Trump said. "It made us feel like royalty."
According to Royal Caribbean's Twitter account, six sailings of the Grandeur of the Seas have been canceled — set to depart each Friday from May 31 through July 5 — with refunds and discount coupons issued to passengers booked for those sailings. The ship is undergoing repairs at Grand Bahama Shipyard.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
