I am a spiritual, religious person. However, I tend not to bring my belief system into the therapy space unless my client is also spiritual, religious and integrates their belief system into the therapeutic process. I respect the beliefs my clients have whether or not they coincide with my own. Incorporating spirituality into the therapeutic environment may be helpful for some clients and not for others. I allow my clients to choose whether to bring their belief system into the therapeutic space.

I have been a pastoral psychotherapist for over 40 years and my focus is on the needs and concerns of Christians seeking help. I have taught counseling in theological seminaries for 20 years as well. Christian counseling is not preaching or indoctrinating, but rather works from a committed Christian perspective to deal in an open way with the kinds of issues common to most people—depression, relationship problems, self-esteem difficulties and conflicts in sexuality or religious faith.. I use both theological and psychological resources to deepen my understanding of the therapeutic relationship.


description: Eight legs and sticky webs might seem like an advantage in this fight. But will it be enough to keep this spider from becoming a meal for the wasp's ravenous young?

title: World's Deadliest: Hairy Spider vs. Wasp

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
This wasp will do anything to feed her young.
Including taking on the baboon spider.
These spiders aren't small—they can grow to the size of small birds.
And they can take care of themselves.
Eight hairy legs, a pair of sharp fangs, and a sticky shield make up the big arachnid's arsenal.
But the wasp is undeterred.
She has weapons of her own—speed, flight and a deadly sting.
This spider is 3.5 ounces of pure eight-legged protein.
Protein the wasp needs to feed her young.
She invades the spider's burrow, charging right through its protective shield.
The spider has no choice but to retreat.
But he doesn't get far.
In seconds, the wasp paralyzes him, the venom from her sting putting him into a permanent coma.
It's a big feast...but it isn't for her.
The spider just became an incubator.
The mother wasp will lay a single egg in the spider's abdomen.
When it hatches, her larva will eat its immobilized host alive.
Big spiders nourish the female wasp larvae...small spiders sustain the males.
After a week of gorging on arachnid meat, the larva will pupate until the next summer...to become the next generation of spider hunters.

Young Harris, Ga. - Gaither Hendrix went in for the layup with 35 seconds left to give the Tornados the lead and Josh Roper iced the game from the free throw line as Brevard escaped the YHC Basketball Arena on Monday night with the hard-fought 72-69 victory over host Young Harris.
Darius Moose led four Brevard (10-11) players in double figures with 15 points, going seven of eight from the floor to lead the Tornados on a 43.5 percent (27-62) shooting night. Josh Jordan added 14 points, narrowly missing his fifth double-double of the season with nine rebounds. Roper added 12 points and five assists, while Hendrix added 10 points, hitting two three-pointers as the Tornados took home their 10th win of the season.
Frank Adams and Steven Viterbo led the Young Harris (5-18) team with 19 points apiece, while O'Neil Lubin added 13 points as all six players who saw action for YHC scored. Bryson Robertson added 12 rebounds and nine points, while Adams completed the double-double with 10 rebounds.
Jordan scored the first two points of the contest with a pair of free throws as the Tornados went up by seven early on a Vincent Dombrowski layup as Brevard held the 12-5 lead with 13:00 to play in the first half. The Mountain Lions battled back to tie the score up at 19 as Matt Preston converted a free throw attempt with 7:17 on the clock, but Roper and D.J. Jordan combined to score the next eight Brevard points and a dunk by Jordan pushed the lead back to six at 27-21.
Young Harris continued to keep the game in check, eventually taking their first lead of the game at 28-27 as Preston drove in for the layup. A late layup by Hendrix tied the score up for the third time of the half at 32 points, but Lubin hit a three-pointer as time expired to give the Mountain Lions the 35-32 halftime lead.
The lead reached double digits in the second half as the Mountain Lions went up 44-34 on an Adams jumper in the paint. Following a three-pointer by Roper, Young Harris built the largest lead by either team in the game at 11 points as Viterbo had a steal and lead the break, taking it all the way to the hoop in building a 48-37 lead with 15:23 to play in the game.
Brevard steadily chipped away at the lead for the next six minutes, before tying the game up at 57 with 7:13 on the clock. Donald Hudson hit four straight free throws before a three-pointer by Hendrix off the pass from Dombrowski went through the net to knot the game up for the first time of the second half.
Adams and Moose traded layups to keep the score tied, before Moose tipped in a Hendrix miss as the Tornados took their first lead of the second half with 5:45 on the clock at 61-59.
Brevard was able to build three point leads twice in the closing minutes of the second half, but the Mountain Lions tied it up at 61 and 68, before a layup by Hendrix gave Brevard the lead for good at the 35 second mark to give the Tornados the 70-68 lead. A foul by Hudson put Lubin at the free throw line with an opportunity to tie it, and the freshman guard from Orlando, Fla. canned the first attempt, but the second one rattled out and Josh Jordan collected the rebound.
Roper was sent to the free throw line, draining both to put the Tornados up 72-69 with 11 ticks left in the game and Hendrix stripped the ball away from Preston with time winding down as Brevard brought home the 72-69 victory.
The Tornados return home on Wednesday, February 16th, as they host Lincoln Memorial University in Brevard's WBCA Pink Zone game against the Railsplitters. Tipoff for the game in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 8 p.m.

|Advances and prepayments
|FDIC Receivable from Resolution Activity
|NCUA Loans
|Regulatory assets
|Total other assets
Advances and prepayments are assets that represent funds disbursed in contemplation of the future performance of services, receipt of goods, the incurrence of expenditures, or the receipt of other assets. These include advances to contractors and grantees, travel advances, and prepayments for items such as rents, taxes, insurance, royalties, commissions, and supplies.
The FDIC has the responsibility for resolving failed institutions in an orderly and efficient manner. The resolution process involves valuing a failing institution, marketing it, soliciting and accepting bid for the sale of the institution, determining which bid is least costly to the insurance fund, and working with the acquiring institution through the closing process. FDIC records receivables for resolutions that include payments by the Deposit Insurance Fund to cover obligations to insured depositors, advances to receiverships and conservatorships for working capital, and administrative expenses paid on behalf of receiverships and conservatorships.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) provides a variety of loans as a liquidity lender to credit unions experiencing unusual or unexpected liquidity shortfalls. These loans can be either short or long term. NCUA also provides loans to stimulate economic development in low-income communities.
With regard to regulatory assets, the DOE's Power Marketing Authorities (PMAs) and the TVA record certain amounts as assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 980, Regulated Operations. The provisions of FASB ASC Topic 980 require that regulated enterprises reflect rate actions of the regulator in their financial statements, when appropriate. These rate actions can provide reasonable assurance of the existence of an asset, reduce or eliminate the value of an asset, or impose a liability on a regulated enterprise. In order to defer incurred costs under FASB ASC Topic 980, a regulated entity must have the statutory authority to establish rates that recover all costs, and those rates must be charged to and collected from customers. If the PMAs' or TVA's rates should become market-based, FASB ASC Topic 980 would no longer be applicable, and all of the deferred costs under that standard would be expensed.
Other items included in "other" are purchased power generating capacity, deferred nuclear generating units, nonmarketable equity investments in international financial institutions, and the balance of assets held by the experience rated carriers participating in the Health Benefits and Life Insurance Program (pending disposition on behalf of OPM).

Barbara Billingsley's June Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963) has long been remembered as the quintessential housewife who kept an immaculate home while managing to look immaculate herself in her trademark pearls and high heels. With reruns still playing in the United States and other countries around the world and with a remake of the series, The New Leave It to Beaver, in the 1980s, the perfect image of June has been seared into the minds of millions of people. While some like June Cleaver, others loathe her and give her a lot of flak for being the archetypal 1950s woman the second wave of the Women's Movement was trying to liberate. If you search the internet, you can find all kinds of things from t-shirts to memes proclaiming people's disdain for the June Cleaver lifestyle. Perhaps a closer reading of Leave It to Beaver, however, shows a side of June lost in people's memories and amongst the criticism. Consider the four points below. Read the rest of this entry »

Scott Joplin, the second of six children, was born sometime between June 1867 and January 1868 in eastern Texas. His father had been a slave, though his mother was born a free black woman. After 1871 Joplin and his family moved to Texarkana, Texas. It was then that young Scott taught himself music on a piano in a home where his mother worked. Read more...

Banned by the United States Golf Association, these are the golf balls that reduce slices and hooks. The balls have truncated, shallow dimples around their equators and deeper, more concentrated dimples near their poles that arrest the side spin and lower the drag that cause slices and hooks, resulting in 50% straighter drives. The distance and trajectory of the golf balls are the same as typical balls, ensuring you'll be able to carry bunkers and water hazards. These enhanced balls also provide better backspin control on greens when hit with short-distance irons. Includes 12 balls. (1 1/2 lbs.)

Helped on tee shots, added 30 yds
By John S
from Indianapolis, IN
Best Uses
Provided you line up the arrow straight, it flies straight most of the time. You can still hook or slice with it so if you are a hacker it won't fix it, but it helps. It gave me back the 300+ yard drives I haven't had the last couple of years due to age. I liked it enough I bought more to replace the ones I've lost.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Reduce your fear of mis-hitting the ball
By Larry
from St Louis
I don't how to hook the ball, but slicing comes easily for this right-hander; STRAIGHT is a lot more fun and it helps my confidence! I use these balls when there's no chance of losing them.

Rosemary CO2 as a preservative...
I'd like to know by how much Rosemary CO2 preserves/extends the life of a carrier oil/carrier oil blend? What would be the life of any carrier oil or carrier oil blend without it?

Re: Rosemary CO2 as a preservative...
Hi Ether,
Thanks for the post. Especially when it's warm outside, preserving carrier oils is important!
Rosemary Antioxidant
can be used at 1-2% of your blend to extend the shelf life. 1%=12 drops/oz.
Without Rosemary Antioxidant as a preservative, the shelf lives of the different carrier oils vary widely. As a general rule, Saturated fats will be more stable, as will oils with a higher level of Vitamin E, which acts as a natural preservative, also. Unsaturated fats (liquid at room temperature) will go rancid more quickly, so are great candidates for preservation.
Thanks for posting! Please let us know if we can help further.

Re: Rosemary CO2 as a preservative...
As Julia had said about the wide variety of "shelf lives" carriers: some carriers have almost an infinite shelf life:
Fractionated coconut (5 yrs), Virgin coconut 2-3, Kukui 2, Apricot Kernel 2, Sweet Almond 1.5 to 2, and the lifespans decrease sharply as more short chain and essential fatty acids are in the oil (They're good for you, you just want to take care of them while they're taking care of you!) So oils like Hempseed, Borage Seed, Evening Primrose -- these should be kept in the 'fridge in a dark glass bottle. (It's all about the light and heat; and oxygen, but that's harder to control - just keep the cap on when not in use
Storage in a cool and dark space, and pouring out perhaps a week or two's need at a time, then returning the main bottle to the refrigerator is a good practice.
This may make a very, very significant difference in terms of longevity if this is desired.
Regarding the use of the particular
organic Rosemary antioxidant
extract we have, this is a quote from the distiller:
The product has antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory property; for retarding oxidation of fatty oils, carotenoids, essential oils; in the food industry in food supplements and in cosmetics;dosage 0,05 - 0,1 % in case of saturated fats, 0,2 - 0,4 % in case of polyunsaturated oils.
They are implying that about 0.3% for non-saturated carrier oil will be effective. This is 3 drops per ounce of carrier oil. Only one drop is needed for 'saturated fat' carriers such as Virgin Coconut, Shea Butter and Cacao Butter.
Rosemary is a very unique antioxidant for fats. Most fat soluble antioxidants donate an electron to one oxidative radical and are done. They have lived their life unless regenerated by some outside process (or interaction with enzymes and other antioxidants in the body -- like Alpha Lipoic Acid regenerates vitamins E and C after they've quenched a radical.
ROSEMARY, in small doses, has been found to stop all lipid oxidation within the human body. Ours is edible, and I will sometimes ingest a few drops should I feel the need. ALSO. there are seven molecular types of oxidative radicals. Rosemary donates an electron to one, then to another type, then to another type, through the lineup. This is why it is a better substance of preventing oxidation in fats overall - especially in simple "systems" such as a bottle of oil.
So again, 3 drops per ounce for all but the completely saturated fats, and then 1 drop per ounce for them.
3 will not hurt either,
and 5 drops per ounce, in very sensitive oils (such again as Hempseed and Borage) is the dosing regimen recommended by the distiller.
Finally, it is
possible to extend the lifespan of certain essential oils this way too; Grapefruit essential oil is considered an unstable essential oil in this way.
A bottle should always be kept in a dark cool spot.
AND, you can add 1 or 2 drops per 12ml bottle, 4 or 5 in a 30ml bottle.
The aroma of the Rosemary is very light, because it's unlike other rosemary essential oils which have short-chain compounds that you can smell easily and strongly. So, you should absolutely test the effect of adding a little Rosemary antioxidant to an essential oil like Grapefruit (or lemon, orange, neroli, bergamot - even Lavender - and let it sit for a few minutes before judging the aroma.
We've found it make little to no significant change in aroma, and sometimes its actually nicer.

Re: Rosemary CO2 as a preservative...
Hi Merlin,
In terms of the esoteric work you're doing, I'm really not sure
rosemary antioxidant
would change anything in the amounts needed. 1) It's only necessary, really, if you're using a carrier oil, and 2) at that point you're only adding 2 or so drops every ounce total -- somewhere about 2-3 drops out of 900. Now, for sure this would be a positive addition to your skin care formulas, as strong antioxidant capacity is one of the features of these types of blends that would only be better for your skin. In terms of energetic-type blends where your not using a carrier (that I know of), I don't think it's even necessary -- the oils in blends I've seen you describe mostly improve with age, and others have both very long shelf lives anyway, plus the other oils (myrrh, frankincense, palo santo, etc.) have such a strong antioxidant capacity themselves that addition of rosemary antioxidant just doesn't seem necessary -- nor anything I've ever seen recommended.

Re: Rosemary CO2 as a preservative...
If you're not using a carrier, I don't think it's necessary. You can try it -- and only would do so if you think you'll ever have the blends around for more than six months, AND aren't keeping either the blends or the citrus oils themselves in the 'fridge (or a dark, cool place at least). Experiment if you feel like it, I don't think it will change the energetic properties significantly enough to make a difference, but this is my opinion -- as is the lack of need to add it to really any "neat" EO blend.
I appreciate your inquisitiveness, and really asking questions that I've never seen posed, or discussed in any of the "manuals" of both medicinal and esoteric aromatherapy. You are the guinea pig here

The American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel and Headwear (ANSI/ISEA 107-2010) is a standard established by American National Standards Institute for protection of construction, maintenance, utility, emergency responders, airport ramp personnel and other workers who are routinely exposed to the hazards of low visibility while on the job. Private industry, various federal, state, and local authorities have embraced ANSI/ISEA 107 compliant garments and headwear as useful PPE for workers exposed to struck-by-hazards.
ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 provides for a high degree of reflective material incorporated into garments...thus improving visibility...and safety. Three classes of garments based on work environment:

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Here's the primary problem with ultra-cheap steaks: They're annoyingly thin — too thin to prepare mid-rare — and for those of us who prefer a mooing cow to a muffled cow, that just doesn't cut it. But you don't have to pay upwards of $30 for a great piece of meat. For a bargain-priced steak that's thick, beastly and full of beefy flavor, head to the appropriately named Bull & Bush, which serves a twelve-ounce baseball center-cut sirloin that's liberally rubbed with salt and pepper and then grilled to the exact temperature requested. Included in the $17 price tag is soup or salad and a choice of mashed potatoes, wild rice or a loaded baked potato. This is a steak you can bank on.
There are numerous reasons to be out and about in Denver, even at 3 a.m., and Tom's Urban 24 will make sure that you never go to bed with a growling belly — although if you're two sheets to the wind, you might have a few problems maneuvering your way through the menu, which is as long as the work day is short. A new addition to Denver's very small round-the-clock lineup, Tom's is a massive, hip joint on the edge of Larimer Square. Spry young servers deliver food that's anything but diner-standard, with options including deviled eggs, truffled lobster and shrimp pot pie, thin-crusted pizzas topped with figs, and even pho. There are plenty of other insomnia-assisters, too: burgers, Mexican staples, eggs done every which way, salads and sandwiches, all of which promise to fortify you for that late-night prowl. There's also a full bar pouring beers, craft cocktails and wine until 2 a.m. and starting again five hours later — which gives all-nighters an excuse to return bright and early for a daily dose of hangover-helping liquid courage.
These seedy San Diego-style taco huts, both of which are 24/7 operations with the luxury of drive-thru windows (a huge perk at 2 a.m., when garish lights do justice to no one), dole out the diviest drunk food south of the border: tacos, tortas, quesadillas, taquitos, nachos and huge mounds of carne asada fries blanketed with cheese and green chile. Salsas, red and green, give everything a fever jolt. The interiors aren't much to look at, and the tables are typically strewn with someone else's late-night Styrofoam, but the prices are geared toward paupers, and while you'll have to get your liquid courage elsewhere — there's no alcohol — a Mexican Coke at midnight loads you up with just enough caffeine to keep your eyeballs open.
Central Bistro & Bar is hot. You don't need to look further than the "Hot" sign over the open kitchen — a vestige of the Regency Hotel once owned by the family of Central founder Isiah Salazar — to recognize that. But this new spot on the edge of LoHi also serves up one of the coolest cocktails in town: a barrel-aged Manhattan made with St. George Breaking & Entering Bourbon. Sip it while looking over the skyline of downtown Denver, and you've got an experience for the ages.
Being a great bartender is about far more than mixing magic — although that element is certainly important. But a bartender's role behind the stick is also about spending time with those bellied up to the bar, whether they're high rollers or gravediggers. And Courtney Wilson, now a bartender at the very new Old Major after her most recent stint at Williams & Graham, deserves heroine worship for the way she straddles the line between professional and perky. She's engaging and exuberant and nearly religious when waxing poetic about the city's cocktail landscape, and she's clearly moved by spirits, as evidenced by her ingenuity when crafting cocktails — whether they're on the syllabus or one of her clever one-offs. Wilson comes off as genuine and knowledgeable but never snooty, and she doesn't overthink what she pours in your drink. Like the pro that she is, she just gets it.
Waffling about the perfect cocktail is hardly sexy, but indecision is often the result when you're confronted with a menu full of clever names and obscure ingredients. You know what you want, but nothing looks quite right. Not to worry: The bartenders at Colt & Gray have you covered. Not only is their bar stocked with every spirit known, but they also have an array of house-made bitters and other mixers at their disposal — and they know the exact flavor profile of every liquid behind that bar. So don't bother trying to remember the name of that perfect drink you once had on vacation in Italy. Just describe some flavors that turn you on, or tell them about a cocktail you dreamed about, or maybe just name your favorite band and movie. A moment's pause and they get to work. A shake or a stir later, and you'll be sitting there with a great drink in your hand, so you can get back to being sexy.

Whether you come by land, air, or water, getting to Homer is an odyssey. All routes cross a region of extraordinary natural wonders. Then the town greets you like a giant pop-up card: forbidding mountains, alpine glaciers, dense evergreen forests, a fast-moving sea, the 4½-mile-long sand spit, and a thriving community.
Tina Day and her husband, Bob, used to drive four hours south from Anchorage to reach this secluded town. "One weekend, walking the beaches, we decided to move here," Tina says. With minimal hand-wringing, "we sold our home, quit our jobs, bought a house in Homer, and found new work."
Any regrets? Recently strolling out on the Homer Spit, near the legendary Salty Dawg Saloon, they could see the M/V Tustumena ferry sailing in, the sun setting behind the Mt. Augustine volcano above Kachemak Bay, and about 20 bald eagles overhead. "We almost had to pinch ourselves," Tina says.
Tina's extensive marketing background made her the ideal executive director for the Homer Chamber of Commerce. But such perfect job opportunities rarely present themselves in this town of 5,400 people who rely on seasonal tourism for their economic base. More typically, "you can live in Homer if you bring your job and your passion for this place with you," says Lisa Nolan. She came here full-time in 1988 and has developed three local restaurants―first Homestead, then Café Cups, and now the trendy Fat Olives. She and her business partner/husband, Tiny, revel in Homer's sophistication, lack of pretense, and fun.
"In Homer, we have 'black tie' events," Lisa says. "Fishermen show up in their Carhartts [rugged outerwear] coupled with top hats and canes. Tuxedo jackets are paired with T-shirts, and sequined dresses with mud boots."
The big lure for charter-fishing business/B&B owner Michael Coates, a Wisconsin native, is the outdoors. "I play hockey, ski, snowmobile, kayak, surf-kayak, boat, and fish―all within five miles of my house and mostly year-round," he says. To pad his off-season income, Michael drives a bus for local high-school activities.
"Homer inspires your dreams, but it takes a great deal of tenacity to live here," says Asia Freeman, director of the Bunnell Street Gallery. "My husband and I have five different jobs between us [art, teaching, B&B, construction, and property management]." Moving from the San Francisco area, Asia's artist parents settled here when she was 6. "They weren't interested in the kitschy, crafty arts commonly found in Alaska," she says. "Instead, they invited visiting artists, poets, musicians, and writers. They helped make this a destination for artists and collectors." After attending Yale University art school and traveling the world, Asia returned to Homer.
"We still juggle a lot to survive," she says. "But we have this fantastic seasonal drug called the sun. It charges us up every summer, when it's hard to sleep in the long daylight hours. It keeps us wired all winter."

©2003 Bill Bryson; (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc. Published by Arrangement with Random House Audio Publishing Group, A Division of Random House, Inc.
"Not to be missed." (AudioFile)
"Destined to become a modern classic of science writing." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Very informative, fun to listen to"
This was the first audio book I?ve purchased on Audible and I must say that the experience was surprisingly pleasant.
Being a bit of a science geek, yet not nearly smart enough to understand all of the detailed ins and outs of the various disciplines of study, I have spent the last several years of my college career picking up bits and pieces of science information from whatever web sites I?ve stumbled upon. Combining that with my general understanding of the way the world works, most gleaned from sleepy days in high school science classes, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of what this planet is all about.
Much to my surprise, this book filled me in on so much more. The shear details of discovery that I had obviously slept through in high school blew me away. The way this author ties in what you already know, what you think you know, and what you are totally clueless on made listening to this book very enjoyable.
Admittedly, there were a few times when the book seemed to drone on a tiny, tiny bit but I found myself only facing this when there was a subject touched on that I wasn?t previously interested in (such as a bit of Geology). That, too, soon turned from a boring piece of the book into something very interesting (the details about Yellowstone and the ?Super Volcano? ideas).
I must say that if I were to recommend this book to anyone, it would probably help if they had a curiosity in Science and they weren?t terribly bored by some background on the scientists who discovered this or theorized that. I?d suggest the unabridged version, of course, but to help push someone (a student?) into a more curious approach to science, perhaps try the abridged version first.
Over all, I give it a 5 of 5 because I learned a lot, had a great time listening, and this is one of the few purchases I have made in recent years that I haven?t suffered from a neurotic, immediate, and enduring dose of ?buyer?s remorse?. This book was a lot of fun!
"Fascinating; Perfect for Adult ADHD"
This book does something that few others do. It gives just enough information (without being too much) and makes it absolutely spellbinding. I don't want to know about cosmology, chemistry, and/or physics in minute detail, but I want a conversational knowledge of these and many other things scientific. Bryson provides that in an extremely entertaining, interesting manner. Although it is long, I whole-heartedly recommend the unabridged version.
"The Only Book I reread imediatley after reading"
I cant say enough about this book! I was introduced to Bill Bryson while incarcerated. And might I just say that even hardened criminals could not get enough of this book. I made most of my money by renting out this book. The demand was so great that I had another copy mailed to me. I have since lent a copy to many friends, and have yet to have most of them returned. The only one which was returned was because that person bought their own copy so that they could highlight it. This book is infectious! My only regret is that I havent been able to aquire an illustrated version. This book does indeed feel like a short history of nearly everthing. But everyone I have ever ask about this book says that it only makes them want to know more about one or more of the topics in the book. That has been the case with me as well. I have gone back to school in order to learn more about the subject matter within the pages of this life altering book. Read this book, it will open new worlds and inlighten old ones
"abridged - unabridged"
I loved the abridged version so much I just had to get the unabridged version when it became available. The abridged version is a very good abridgement, probably contains enough detail for most, and Bill Bryson's narration of it is the icing on the cake for sure. The unabridged version offers a fuller explanation of many points and so exposes the listener to more stories and Bryson wit which is always enjoyable. Richard Matthews does a great job narrating although he's not exactly Bill Bryson, he's sounds a lot like him and is a good second choice. If you can't get enough of Bill Bryson, you're best bet is the unabridged version. You won't get bogged down with unnecessary scientific detail--it's all very enjoyable listening. If you just want to learn about the subject quickly, the abridged version is lots of fun.
"an all too"
I'm sorry for the folks who bought the abridged version of this title. Opting for Bryson abridged is pointless. His prose is already polished to a pearly economy.
If you can listen to the final 22 minutes of this book without cringing, crying, or resolving to affect change in the way all of us treat this magnificent and mysterious planet; you are a hard, hard case. With disciplined but entertaining prose, Bryson surveys the branches of science that explain who we are and how we got to wherever it is we are. Spectacular!
"Engrossing and dazzling"
I am a scientist, and I feel that Bryson has a keen eye for what is important. His book is crammed with wonderful concepts and observations from a remarkable breadth of fields. It is always easy to understand, yet consistently mind-boggling. I personally found the stories of scientists' escapades captivating: it is so healthy to be reminded that science is a human endeavor. These stories of ruthlessness and heartbreak along the path of discovery are exactly the things that elevate this book above textbooks. Also, the narrator does a wonderful job of giving the author's words their intended voice, be it profound, tragic, or comic.
"Give it a try"
I never thought plate tectonics, atom smashing and trilobites could be so entertaining - there were times I actually chuckled. The author presents what could be a series of tedious lectures about dry subjects in a very understandable way. By using humor, he makes the subjects user-friendly without talking down to his audience.
I can't remember all the names mentioned and how to pronounce some of the terms used but I now look at clouds differently, am a little afraid of Yellowstone blowing up and think some scientists were really brave, creative and a little looney.
The narrator is great. In fact, I may purchase more books just because he narrates. I think he has a lot to do with my enjoyment of the book, capturing the tone I think the author intended.
I usually read fiction, particularly mysteries and thrillers but this was an excellent departure from that. I think anyone with a passing interest in how our world works would enjoy this book - not to mention discover things like: Newton pushed pointed objects into his eye sockets just to see what happened; heat is simply a matter of molecules banging into each other; Yellowstone is actually a volcano. Who knew!
"A complete breakfast"
Forget high school science. Just have your kids enjoy this book. Bryson gives a very understandable and thorough overview of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, etc., in an extremely engaging way. It is like hearing your favorite college professor sit down on a table in front of a group of students and weaving a fascinating story. The human interest aspects of the books were a plus to the scientific explanations. Although this is a tremendously enjoyable read for inquisitive adults, share it with your children and they might actually take up an enduring interest in science. This book is certainly far better than all of my high school science courses combined (and probably college too). Highly recommended.
l'enfer c'est les autres
"Best survey of science book out there"
After listening to this book, you will feel like a scientist and think of yourself as understanding our place in the universe like a true intellectual. Bryson just knows how to explain difficult concepts across all of the science disciplines. This is a great first book for someone who is interested in reading other science books or just ending their quest with this book. My cheap self was reluctant to get it because of the two credit price, I'm glad I let my spendthrift self take over.
The book does more than just talk about the science it also delves into the personalities involved with the great discoveries and illustrates how some of our greatest discoveries came about through the perseverance of smart people.
"Everyone needs to know this stuff"
Near the beginning Bryson states that he knew almost nothing about the only world he would ever inhabit. Most people seem to be in pretty much the same state. If you listen to this you will join him in not being quite so ignorant.
That's great, but what I like best is that while he presents our best current understanding of how our universe works, he also provides a series of wonderful profiles of the very human men and women who have slowly and painfully (and in some cases arrogantly) built up the framework of what we know -- and upon which we will continue to built our understanding. It is an ode to science and scientists. As far as I am concernerned this should be required readling...or listening!

I SUPPORT VETS' Serena Hayden to Speak at Fatigues to Fabulous at Fashion Week
Serena Hayden of I SUPPORT VETS and Fashion Week's Fatigues to Fabulous campaign will help raise support for female veterans.
-Lucia Peters
New York Fashion Week is fast approaching, and yes, it will most certainly be full of spectacular and sometimes hilarious shows and moments. But Fashion Week will also have some poignant moments, thanks to Fatigues to Fabulous. Created by Ronnie Denn Productions, Fatigues to Fabulous, or F2F, is a national program geared towards honoring the service of women veterans and supporting their transition back home. Aided by the Society for Women's Health Research and Give An Hour, the program is working with Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and a variety of other designers to help raise awareness of the challenges faced by returning women vets, as well as to provide the resources needed to ease their transition back again.
Serena Hayden, Director of Strategic Initiatives for the nonprofit organization I SUPPORT VETS, has been selected as one of six women that will speak during the September 8 Fatigues to Fabulous campaign at Fashion Week. A vet herself, Hayden says that she is "very honored to be part of this event and increase awareness about the issues women face when returning from war or transitioning from the service." She goes on to emphasize the importance of raising awareness of the issues faced by female vets: "Community awareness is vital to dispelling the preconceived notions regarding veterans, and the ability to educate others on the struggles of female veterans is why Fatigues to Fabulous is such a critical, landmark event."
Landmark event, indeed! We're certainly looking forward to supporting Hayden and the Fatigues to Fashion campaign at Fashion Week!

description: Tom Campbell's goal was to shoot the ideal image of a whale shark, the largest fish in the sea, all while setting up his f-stop and lens.

title: Just One Frame

transcript:
As a professional filmmaker and photographer, Tom Campbell pursues light and motion.
But under the sea, he must also predict the behavior of a wild animal.
SOUNDBITE: Tom Campbell, Underwater Filmmaker and Photographer - “There’s an area that you can’t call the shot. You don’t know what the animal’s gonna do. So you make a calculated risk and you depend on your experience and your training and your abilities of a photographer that you’ve always got that overwhelming desire to get that picture.”
Ningaloo Reef, western Australia.
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the sea and can grow to more than 30 feet long.
To showcase their enormous size, Tom needs something—or someone—in the frame.
That someone is Adra Ross, who didn’t learn to SCUBA dive until she turned 50.
SOUNDBITE: Adra Ross, SCUBA diver - “The trip to Australia was a great way to start my diving experience. I knew it was going to be something thrilling and exciting.”
As a seasoned professional, Tom knows he can’t force the magic, but he’s always ready.
Suddenly, he sees his chance.
SOUNDBITE: Tom Campbell, Underwater Filmmaker and Photographer
There’s a shark starting to swim away. We suddenly saw he opened up his mouth and this school of yellow fish that was below him moved right up into the center of his mouth.
Tom and Adra kick into high gear and swim hard to overtake the whale shark.
SOUNDBITE: Tom Campbell, Underwater Filmmaker and Photographer - She’s swimming as hard as she can and I needed to catch up with the shark, pushing the camera housing. And while I was swimming, I had to set the distance, I had to set the F-stop to the light factor, and I had to get everything set up on the lens just right. I swam ahead of the shark, got to the point where I could turn around with just enough time to squeeze the shutter, so I got one shot...squeezed it off, and that was it.”
Tom’s single frame proved to be a winner.
SOUNDBITE: Tom Campbell, Underwater Filmmaker and Photographer - “The light was right, the animal was there, the diver was in position, I got that split second to capture some kind of magic, and it was a killer shot.”

Brevard, N.C.- Cody Queen's solo homer in the 8th inning lifted Brevard College to a 6-5 win over the Anderson Trojans in the South Atlantic Conference series opener at Anderson Memorial Stadium on Friday night.
Queen's round tripper broke a 5-5 tie with one out in the 8th inning after BC scored two in the top of the 7th to tie the game. Queen drove in three runs while going 3-for-4 on the night to pace BC.
Trailing 5-3 after six innings, Alex Bedenbaugh singled to start the 7th before Champ Stuart reached on a two-base error that moved Bedenbaugh to third. Bennett Hixson then tied the game with a two-run single up the middle.
BC reliever James Phillips (W, 1-0) tossed five scoreless innings in relief of Tornados starter Brennan Daniels, who allowed five earned runs over four innings. Phillips limited AU to just two hits and two walks to earn the win.
The Tornados took a 2-0 lead in the top of the 2nd on Queen's two-run single that plated Kody Spencer and Eric Renegar.
The two teams exchanged runs to send BC into the bottom of the 4th up 3-1 before Anderson took the lead with three runs in the 4th and another in the 5th.
The Tornados and Trojans will complete their three-game series on Saturday afternoon with a doubleheader at Anderson Memorial Stadium beginning at 1 p.m.

This driver supports monitor mode perfectly, but lacks in managed mode as it does not support WPA/WPA2. For this you will therefore need to use ndiswrapper. It also supports the highpower setting which will enable you to get the most in terms of TX power out of the card.

Are you looking for the secret to avoiding the flu this year? The flu vaccine effectiveness this year is 62%. According to the CDC, a report of 47 states have widespread flu activity. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized with a bad case of the flu and thus experiencing symptoms of fever, body aches, congestion, and fatigue. Keeping a healthy lifestyle is the best defense against the flu.
* Eat five to six servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The antioxidant power coupled with natural vitamins improves immune function to aid your body in fighting off infections.
* Reduce stress as too much stress impairs the immune system.
* Exercise regularly by walking at least five times a week for 30 minutes which will boost your body's immunity.
* Get plenty of sleep and allow rest to ensure your body can properly refuel. Most adults require 7-8 hours of sleep a night while children require at least 9 hours.
* Flu shots are recommended for most individuals especially children, healthcare workers, and immunocompromised adults.

Although Julia Alvarez was born in New York City, her family moved back to the Dominican Republic when she was only three months old. The family was relatively wealthy and lived comfortably until 1960, when authorities discovered that Alvarez's father belonged to an underground effort to overthrow Trujillo's regime. Fearing for their safety, the Alvarezes fled back to the United States. Just three months later, the Mirabal sisters—founders of the underground—were murdered.
Alvarez, her parents, and her three sisters made their home in a small apartment in New York City. Despite the racism of some classmates, Alvarez enjoyed learning English and credits the experience with helping her become a writer. As she explains, "Not understanding the language, I had to pay close attention to each word—great training for a writer. I also discovered the welcoming world of the imagination and books."
After high school, Alvarez earned her bachelor's degree from Middlebury College, and her master's degree in creative writing from Syracuse University. She had been teaching at Middlebury College for three years when her first novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), was published. The book received widespread acclaim and enabled her to pursue writing as a full-time career. She was 41 years old.
Alvarez lives with her husband, Bill Eichner, in Vermont. In 1998, the couple founded Finca Alta Gracia, a farm and literacy center located east of Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Dominican Republic. Workers there cultivate environmentally sustainable shade-grown organic coffee, the sale of which supports a school on the farm where children and adults can learn to read.
On October 15, 2009, Josephine Reed of the National Endowment for the Arts interviewed Julia Alvarez. Excerpts from their conversation follow.
Josephine Reed: Your family left the Dominican Republic in 1960, when you were ten. What was that shift like for you? What was school like for you?
Julia Alvarez: I had never been on an escalator or in an elevator, or those doors that open by themselves when you went to the grocery store. We had learned that we were coming to the land of liberty, the home of the brave, the land of the free, and this was going to be great. And what I found was that in the school yard, the kids were not very nice. They were calling us names, telling us to go back to where we came from. So I felt unwelcome. And in a way that was really the hardest moment up to then in my life, because I knew that we couldn't go back, yet I didn't want to stay here. But thank goodness that I had a good sixth grade teacher and that I found the public library, because they put books in my hand and I discovered that there were worlds I could enter where everybody was welcome.
JR: What is In the Time of the Butterflies about for you?
JA: In the Time of the Butterflies is a book that helped me understand my country's story and my parents' story. It was a book that I had to write, because it was a debt that I owed. We were the family that got out and came to the United States, and here I am—an American writer. And what is the responsibility of those who survive? To remember, and to remind. It's through telling the story that we really understand the full complexity of what happened to us. Not just the facts, not just the either/or, but the full, textured complexity of a dictatorship and how we got out of it.
JR: Did your parents know the Mirabal sisters?
JA: Everybody who was in that group knew of them, but my father didn't know them personally. My mother didn't get involved in the underground at all.
JR: I'd like to talk about the intersection of history and fiction in this book. For example, did Minerva really slap Trujillo at a dance?
JA: I talked to many people who experienced the Mirabal sisters from different points of view. Some things other people said were corroborated by Dedé, but others were not. When I asked her about the slap at the dance, she said, "Julia, there was not a slap. At the dance, he was making advances that she was finding invasive and repugnant." She said there were words and a confrontation, but there was never a slap. However, other people who were at the same party swear they saw and heard the slap. There's even a famous merengue about the slap. In writing the book, I had to decide what truths to privilege, balancing different points of view. Ultimately, what is important in a novel is the truth according to the character telling or living out the story. In many ways fiction more closely approximates how we ourselves live our own historical moment than an objective record of facts does.
JR: Julia, why do you read? Why does one read?
JA: There are very few people who you ever know with the intensity and profundity that you know a character from a novel. I think that the muscles that you're stretching when you're reading are the same muscles you use for compassion and understanding. To be able to become a reader is to become sensitized and aware of things. It develops that capacity to be compassionate, to understand, to see, and to be a fuller human being.
"I found in literature a place where the table was set for all. Everybody was welcome. I found true democracy in reading."
—Julia Alvarez

Moschino Fall 2013
Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini has been sifting through the archives of late for more reasons than one. First off, the house celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year, and second, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's exhibit on punk will feature some of the counterculture-inspired looks that first put Moschino on the map—including subversive show pieces like a 1950s couture-style dress made entirely from garbage bags. And if there is one pattern that was most frequently and infamously reappropriated by the first punks hanging out on London's King's Road, it's tartan.
To be fair, though, Italy's fascination with British heritage—which has cropped up a few times this week—predates the movement, and so in that sense a more traditional spin on tartan was on the agenda for fall. Slim-cut suits that finished with spiffy bow ties were a nod to a British gentleman's wardrobe, and mini-kilts recalled the uniforms of Enid Blyton heroines. Jardini left distinct Moschino hallmarks on the collection with gold badges emblazoned on blazers—one green plaid trench coat came festooned with playful curlicue hearts, and the signature doorknocker earrings swung with logo-centric reworkings of a coat of arms.
All Briticisms aside, it was American society doyenne Ann Bonfoey Taylor who played muse this season, and you could see the flight instructor turned skiwear designer and her athletic tastes running head to toe—from gilded riding hats to retro hiking-boot heels—even if the collection skewed more schoolgirl than sophisticated in places.

Bearcats beat UCF, 11th win in a row
CINCINNATI -- Justin Jackson matched his career high by blocking seven shots and Sean Kilpatrick scored 19 points with a strong second half that carried No. 15 Cincinnati to its 11th straight win Thursday night, 69-51 over Central Florida. Cincinnati (19-2, 7-0 American Athletic) is off to its best start since 2001-02, when it was in Conference USA. The Bearcats' winning streak is their longest since they opened last season with 12 wins. And it's been mostly a matter of defense. The Bearcats have held their last 27 opponents under 70 points, the longest active streak in Division I. They took control of this one by opening the second half with an 18-5 run. Central Florida (9-8, 1-5) has lost four in a row. The Knights were only 5 of 16 from the free throw line, had 14 turnovers and shot 34 percent from the field.

Arcade Fire & Pearl Jam take part in Pono Kickstarter campaign
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pearl Jam on iHeartRadio
Arcade Fire, Pearl Jam, and the Foo Fighters are lending their names to Neil Young's Pono project.
Young and his team have opened a Kickstarter campaign to help fund and promote the new ultra-high resolution music player, and some of music's biggest names are helping out with the rewards for the project's backers.
In addition to Arcade Fire, Pearl Jam, and the Foo Fighters, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Norah Jones, and others are taking part in the Artist Signature Series. Anyone who donates $400 or more will get a chrome Pono Player featuring the artist's signature laser engraved on the side. It also comes pre-loaded with two of the act's favorite albums and packaged in a handmade leather case with a presentation box.
The limited edition Pono Players are expected to ship this October. The device was designed by world-renowned audio engineers to play music as it sounded in the recording studio without the usual MP3 or CD compression.
More information is available at the Pono Music page on Kickstarter.com or PonoMusic.com.

Young and in charge
By Ryal Curtis, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-6491
The next time you find yourself inside a hotel or private club, take a moment to look around. Not at the décor. Not at the fancy touch screen TVs. Not at the signature, state-of-the-art lounge. Instead, look at the staff -- the front desk assistants, the concierge, the porters, the housekeeping and kitchen staffs. Check out the general manager. Notice anything unusual? There's a very good chance that you're looking at a general manager in his 20s or early 30s, who is probably a lot younger than the rest of the hotel staff.
What you are witnessing is a growing trend in the highly competitive hospitality industry--a management youth boom, fueled by millennials' interest in moving up the career fast track in the high-growth, multi-billion dollar service industry. A study conducted by The Learning Café, a think tank that studies the changing workforce, shows that by 2014 half of the workforce will have been born after 1980.
"These millennials -- people born in the 80s and early 90s -- are tech savvy, highly educated and adaptable to today's ever–changing hospitality industry," says Tommy Beyer, 26, and a millennial himself. "These individuals are racing up the corporate ladder. And what they're finding at the top, in many cases and especially as hoteliers, is a staff older than they are."
That's what Beyer noticed while working his way up the hotel industry ladder. The hospitality management major was named an assistant general manager for a new Hilton Garden Inn in Columbia, his junior year at the University of South Carolina. After graduating summa cum laude in 2008, Beyer was promoted to general manager at the Hampton Inn Savannah North in Savannah, Ga. He managed a staff of 26 employees, many much older than he.
"I had to overcome a number of challenges early on as a general manager," Beyer says. "Leading a highly qualified yet older set of staff was near the top of my list. I had to navigate through unfamiliar waters and learn on-the-go how to manage a team of older professionals. I had to develop my own personal leadership style while at the same time successfully leading the hotel."
In 2012, Beyer wrote a guide instructing other young managers on how to lead an older staff, offering these dips for younger bosses managing older employees:
- give respect
- take advantage of employee experience
- be inclusive
- encourage older employee to share knowledge
Beyer says the worst mistake a young manager can make when leading a team of older professionals -- a mistake that virtually guarantees the team will be more difficult to lead -- is to not give them enough respect. "And by respect, I mean respecting their age, their years of experience and their ideas. Respect needs to be a priority, it needs to be earned, and it should be mutually received," Beyer says.
Beyer says he learned his leadership style from professors in USC's School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management.
"I can honestly say that the vast majority of my professors taught me things that have been instrumental in getting me to the level that I am at my age," Beyer says.
Beyer's white paper titled "4 Best Practices to Help Younger Leaders Bridge The Generation Gap At Work," is available online at the Hospitality Net website.
In 2012, the American Hospitality & Lodging Association named Beyer the "Stevan Porter Emerging Hospitality Leader of the Year." This award honors an exemplary lodging employee under age 30 who has demonstrated superior professional dedication, leadership and a fresh perspective to their job at an AH&LA member company.Beyer is the general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn in Savannah, Ga.
