In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus says, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets." (ESV)
Part of the greatest commandment, then, is to love God with "all our mind." But what does this mean? To love is to sacrifice and to serve. It is to make a commitment to the beloved that is covenantal, not contractual (i.e. not circumstantial). It involves honesty and transparency. And it always leads to action on behalf of the beloved. Therefore, we should expect that loving God with our minds, whatever else it might be, will be an act of service and sacrifice, that it will be honest and transparent, and that it will lead to action of some kind. This means that we should expect it to be difficult. But like most difficult things, also meaningful.
When Jesus elucidated this command, it would have hit very close to home with His Jewish audience. This aspect of loving God was central to their cultural and national identity. A few posts ago, I pointed out that the word "Israel" means literally "to wrestle with God." I even went so far as to suggest that it was this about the Jewish people that God so valued. I now suggest that, as He has not changed, He values it just as highly in us.
The writer of Hebrews says, "...though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. 2
Loving God with our minds, then, will include seeking "solid food." It will mean moving beyond the basics of salvation and repentance to a deeper understanding of our faith and an ability to discern good from evil in all contexts, "by constant use" of the resources God has provided for us to learn. The writer was here appealing not to the hearts or souls of his readers, but to their thoroughly Jewish minds.
Similarly, in 1 Cor. 14:20, Paul says, "Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature." (ESV) The context of this verse is the necessity of letting even the gifts of the Holy Spirit be guided by mature thinking.
What, then, are the actions (mentioned above) that this sort of love leads to? Presumably, they would be methods of training the mind to perform the functions for which God designed it, as well as it possibly can. And since the principle function of that part of our being is to think, the action to which we ought to be motivated (if we really love God) is nothing more exalted than study.
I know it doesn't sound very "spiritual," but alas, we are more than just spiritual beings, and God wants all of us.

The Argument from Special Revelation: Jesus Christ (Part 5)
Note: see parts one, two, three, and four.
So how do the hypotheses used to explain the facts of Jesus' life stack up against one another? Last time, we looked briefly at the five most prominent of these. Here, we'll look a little more closely at the first two, using the criteria for testing historical hypotheses from part 2 of this series (linked above). I encourage you to take another look at those so that what follows will make more sense. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to keep both posts open for easy reference.
Again, the facts that are being explained are 1. the empty tomb, 2. the appearances of Jesus after His death, and 3. the belief of Jesus' disciples that Jesus had been raised from the dead.
The Apparent Death Hypothesis
Criteria (1) and (2) are easily met. But that's about all that can be said for this explanation. In terms of explanatory power (3) and plausibility (4), this hypothesis has trouble with all three facts: Empty tomb—Given what we now know about flogging and crucifixion in 1st century Rome, how could a man who recently endured these horrors and miraculously survived have had the strength left to remove the large stone from His own tomb and then escape a band of guards posted to ensure that this very thing (the removal of His body) did not happen? Appearances—Similarly, how did this very nearly dead man then visit His disciples and convince them that He was the long-anticipated Messiah, the Defeater of death, hell, and the grave? Resurrection claims—Related to this, from whence come the disciples' early and consistent claims of resurrection, a novel concept within Judaism and one not at all disposed to be taken seriously? Surely the more likely conclusion is that Jesus just hadn't died—not the much more complicated claim that He had been raised by God from the dead. Yet, this is precisely what they did claim.
This hypothesis is also pretty ad hoc (5), since any explanation given in response to the above problems will necessarily be an argument from silence. It's also disconfirmed (6), as we saw, by modern medicine, since we know that no one could plausibly have survived what Jesus went through. Finally, it is even less likely than its naturalistic rivals (7), and so fails 5 of our 7 criteria.
The Conspiracy Hypothesis
This oldest of the naturalistic explanations (see Matthew 28:11-15) fares little better. It, too, satisfies criteria (1) and (2) but struggles with the rest, beginning with explanatory power (3): Empty tomb—If the disciples fabricated the story of Jesus' resurrection, then why say that the tomb was found empty by women? Indeed, this is one of the worst things the disciples could have done if they wanted to be believed, since the testimony of women carried virtually no weight at the time. Appearances—The appearances of Jesus after the resurrection don't fit with what one would expect a 1st century Jew to make up. It bears very little resemblance to the theophanies one finds in the Old Testament. More on this below. Resurrection claims—Here is the first nail in the proverbial coffin. If the disciples simply made up the story of Jesus' resurrection, then why did they willingly and unanimously suffer torture and death, proclaiming to the end that it was true? People do not die for lies that they made up.
When we consider plausibility (4), we find the second nail in the coffin (as though another were needed). As N.T. Wright has argued in great detail, it just makes no historical sense to say that the disciples would have (or even could have) made up the sort of resurrection story we find in the New Testament, since this is not a concept that even existed before then. There would have been no reason whatsoever for a 1st century Jew to invent the idea of an individual, pre-eschatological, bodily resurrection in a story to other 1st century Jews. This is not only a project doomed to failure, but likely an impossible one, since such a thing would never have entered the mind of a Jew of this time. To assume that Christians could have invented the resurrection story is to read our 21st century context into the text of Scripture, rather than to let it speak from its own culture and time.
Like the Apparent Death Hypothesis, the Conspiracy Hypothesis is also ad hoc (5), in that it must meet objections with made-up stories regarding the disciples' motives and methods for which we have no evidence. It is also disconfirmed (6) by our knowledge of 1st century Judaism and the highly dubious nature of elaborate conspiracy stories. It also fails criteria (7), since there are more likely options, including the Legend and Hallucination Hypotheses, which will be the subject of the next post in the series.

The Argument from Special Revelation: Jesus Christ (Part 4)
one, two, and three.
If you recall, last time we looked at the list of "minimal facts" regarding the life of Christ that nearly all critical historians accept. Now, we will turn to the most prominent explanations of these facts that have been offered.
In the interest of space, I'll only consider those facts that are most relevant to Jesus' resurrection, and that need the most explaining: the empty tomb, the appearances of Jesus after His death, and the belief of Jesus' disciples (including former skeptics James and Paul) that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Also, I'll only consider those explanations which have had the most traction with scholars over the years, and so are the most likely candidates.
They are, in ascending order of credibility (based roughly on the number of scholars willing to accept them, along with my own bias):
1. the Apparent Death Hypothesis (a.k.a. the 'Swoon Theory')
2. the Conspiracy Hypothesis
3. the Legend Hypothesis
4. the Hallucination Hypothesis
5. the Christian Account 1
1. The Apparent Death Hypothesis — Jesus was not dead when He was taken down from the cross, but revived some time later and escaped to make the appearances to His disciples.
2. The Conspiracy Hypothesis — Jesus' disciples stole His body and started the rumor that He had been resurrected.
3. The Legend Hypothesis — Jesus' disciples never claimed that Jesus had literally risen from the dead; this was a later embellishment that made it into the New Testament accounts.
4. The Hallucination Hypothesis — The disciples (and Paul) were under extraordinary psychological stress following Jesus' crucifixion, and this somehow led to their seeing Him alive again, in much the same way a bereaved person might 'see' her lost loved one after death. On this view, the appearances of Jesus to His disciples after His death are interpreted as purely psychological phenomena on the part of the disciples, in the form of visions or hallucinations, or in some cases even some sort of Freudian suppressed guilt and/or complex cognitive dissonance.
5. The Christian Account — Jesus was raised bodily from the dead and appeared to His disciples.
It should be noted that there is no rule saying that only one hypothesis must be true; it is possible that several of them might be combined for a stronger case. Indeed, the ones listed above are employed differently depending on the 'fact' being explained. However, it is not always possible to combine them, as even the 'naturalistic' ones (i.e. those other than the Christian claim) sometimes conflict. For example, the Apparent Death Hypothesis and the Conspiracy Hypothesis cannot both be true. However, the Legend Hypothesis might be strengthened by considering it in conjunction with, say, the Pagan Myth Hypothesis (see footnote below). I'll let the reader choose whatever combination seems most likely, and stack it up against the Christian claim.
Next time, we will begin testing these competing hypotheses using the criteria we listed in Part 2 of this series (linked above).
1 Some other fairly popular, but less plausible, ones include: 6. the Wrong Tomb Hypothesis, the claim that the disciples simply went to the wrong tomb on Easter morning; 7. the claim that the resurrection accounts in the New Testament are written in a non-historical literary style; 8. the claim that the disciples' belief in the resurrection is explainable from Jewish influences; 9. the claim that the disciples' belief in the resurrection is explainable from pagan or mythical influences; and 10. the claim that Jesus' body was 'displaced' or stolen by someone other than His disciples. If you have questions about any of these (or if you can think of any others), leave a comment and I'll be happy to go through them there.

SCRANTON – Dominic Hockenbury removed himself from the rest of the pack so quickly and clearly Tuesday night that he did not even appear to be part of a race.
While he may have seemed to be out for a run by himself during the District 2 Class AA Track and Field Championships boys 3200-meter run, Hockenbury was indeed in a race – against the clock.
Call it a split decision.
Hockenbury will have to wait at least another week in his pursuit to run 3200 meters – roughly two miles – in less than nine minutes. The defending state champion did, however, surpass his secondary goal by setting Tuesday's only meet record when he finished in 9:13.79, almost two seconds faster than Rico Galassi from Holy Cross in 2013.
When Hockenbury gets to Shippensburg University for the May 27-28 PIAA Championships, the Syracuse University recruit will try to become the first Pennsylvania small school runner to break nine minutes at the state meet.
"This was not the greatest field to try to do it against, but the weather was right and there was an opportunity, so I decided to do it and see what happened," said Hockenbury, who has run as fast as 9:03.45 two weeks ago in an invitational.
Hockenbury was scratched from the 800 and the 1600, where he was also the top seed, in the afternoon to concentrate on his main event.
After waiting around for hours, Hockenbury went out and ran a race that others in the field could only imagine.
Even though he knew he still had four laps to go, Hockenbury ran the first "mile" in 4:34.32, a time that would have been good enough for second in the 1600-meter run. His second "mile" was run in 4:39.47, which would have been good enough for fourth in the 1600 if that was all he was running.
Hockenbury's slowest lap was the sixth of eight in 1:11.53. Runner-up Owen Brewer from Montrose was the only other runner out of 19 in the field to ran any lap faster than that after the first 400 meters.
Those split times, however, were a mild disappointment for Hockenbury. He has done the math enough to know quite simply that he must average 1:07.5 through all eight laps.
"I was on pace for (most of) the first three laps," Hockenbury said. "I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't stay there."
Without a competitor chasing him Tuesday, it was not time.
"I feel like I'm in shape to go under nine," Hockenbury said. "It's just about getting the right race and putting everything together.
"When you're by yourself and that little voice tells you 'it hurts,' you kind of sometimes listen to it. Today, I tried to block it out but that was hard to do once I heard a few of my splits called out."
Hockenbury will be heading to Shippensburg with Lake-Lehman teammates.
Troy Borger, Zach Oulajahadamed, Tyler Billotti and Nick Eury teamed to win the 400 relay in 44.90 seconds.
The Black Knights finished 11th out of 16 teams with 31 points.
Eury also medaled in the 100, placing fourth in 11.49.
Chris Sabol was fifth in the 1600 and Joey Chaga tied for sixth in the pole vault for the team's other medals.
Dallas resident Caroline Banas was one of the leaders of Holy Redeemer's late charge to win the team title.
Banas repeated as high jump champion, clearing 5-6. She also finished second in the 400 and ran a leg on the 1600 relay that clinched the team title by finishing fifth.

HALIFAX - Shell has a green light to begin exploratory drilling in the Shelburne Basin.
The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board has issued operations authorization, it announced Oct. 20, so the Shelburne Basin Venture Exploration Drilling Project can start now that the company has promised a faster response to any offshore blowout.
The drilling unit being employed by Shell Canada, the Stena IceMAX, was already in the area doing preparatory work for drilling operations.
"After an extensive regulatory review process, Shell Canada has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the CNSOPB that it will be taking all reasonable precautions to protect safety and the environment while carrying out the drilling program," said Stuart Pinks, the board's chief executive officer.
Shell Canada submitted applications earlier this year to the board for the deep-water drilling program 250 kilometres off of Nova Scotia's coast. The initial phase of the program involves the drilling of two exploratory wells.
Prior to drilling the first well – Cheshire - Shell Canada must also receive a specific approval for the well from the board. The board expects to issue that approval within days, the media release said. A separate approval will be required, at a later date, for the second well, Monterey Jack.
Cap times, environmental concerns
The board had asked Shell to reconsider the length of time it would take the company to bring in a capping stack in the event of a blowout.
"Shell Canada's original submission proposed that, in the unlikely event of a blow out, the deployment of a capping stack would take up to 21 days. CNSOPB required Shell Canada to review the deployment time to determine if it could be reduced," said Pinks. "Shell Canada has responded with a more optimized schedule that indicates that a capping stack could arrive at the wellsite, should it be required, within 12 to 13 days. At the same time, Shell Canada would also deploy a second capping stack as further contingency."
The board said more stringent requirements including significant improvements to the blowout preventer were introduced after the 2010 BP blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. The board's authorization does not OK the use of dispersants in case of a spill.
"With the stringent requirements now in place for blowout preventers, independent well examiners, real time monitoring and CNSOPB's deep water drilling oversight plan – all new requirements since the Macondo incident in 2010 - we are confident that all reasonable precautions to protect safety and the environment have been taken," said Pinks.
Fishermen and environmental groups in the region have expressed concerns about offshore drilling, including worries regulations on exploratory drilling won't be enough to protect the ocean from an event like the BP blowout. An Oct. 3 protest drew a small group of activists and politicians to Shelburne's waterfront to show concerns about the Basin plans.
Premier welcomes drilling rig
Premier Stephen McNeil welcomed the arrival of Shell Canada's offshore drilling vessel.
The vessel, owned by Stena Drilling of Aberdeen, Scotland, is conducting the $1 billion exploration program. The company submitted a successful bid for the area in 2012.
"This is an important day in Nova Scotia's economic history," said McNeil. "Offshore development is one of our most exciting opportunities for growth and I am thrilled Shell is committed to further exploring our offshore potential by drilling its first deep-water well."
The premier noted that Nova Scotians are among the IceMAX crew and several local companies are lined up to supply goods and services to the ongoing project.
BP, which bid on four parcels covering almost 14,000 square kilometres, about 300 kilometres off the coast of Nova Scotia, could drill its first exploratory well in 2017.

With many potential criminal cases, law enforcement in the state in which the alleged crime occurred does the investigating. After investigating, it hands the case off to the local prosecuting agency. For instance, if there's been a theft, the local police or sheriff's department might look into the case and report its findings to the county district attorney's office. The district attorney's office would then decide whether to file charges against the suspect. (Prosecutors may also go the route of a grand jury—see Grand Jury Basics.)
But the federal government has jurisdiction over some of the same cases that state governments can prosecute. (See State vs. Federal Prosecution.) That means that the United States can prosecute the defendant even if the state does the same. This ability occasionally leads the federal government to investigate a case simultaneously as, but independently from, a local police agency. Or the federal government and a state government might investigate a case together. (For a real-life instance of a state and the feds investigating at the same time, see Federal Charges for Shooting of Unarmed Missouri Teen?)

Long-anticipated plans for a new inner city primary school have collapsed after the state government walked away from a deal to buy an Ultimo site from the City of Sydney.
The Department of Education and Communities said it withdrew from negotiations "in frustration" on Tuesday after failing to reach a final price for the council's old depot on Wattle Street.
The move has sparked concern the government will revert to a controversial 2012 plan to redevelop the suburb's existing school, as well as speculation that it might instead seek to use the site currently occupied by the Powerhouse Museum.
Premier Mike Baird said on Wednesday that it was his "expectation" that the museum's "full facility" would move from Harris Street to western Sydney, a proposal unveiled as part a plan to boost Parramatta's cultural offerings.
"But again, we are open to stakeholder engagement on that," he said.
The council's nearby Wattle Street property had been earmarked as the preferred location for a 1000-student school last year, but negotiations stalled over the cost of remediating the heavily contaminated site.
The department's $74 million offer - up from an initial $27 million - took into account a clean-up cost of $18 million to $25 million.
It confirmed that the council wanted market value for the site, which was up to $120 million, less $9.5 million for the cost of remediation.
A department spokeswoman said it remained committed to building a new school in the area, but the city's position "did not reflect the value-for-money NSW taxpayers deserve".
"Despite detailed, ongoing discussions and several solid financial offers from the Department, City of Sydney refused to act reasonably in considering the educational needs of ratepayers' children in those areas," a department spokeswoman said.
"This attitude contrasts markedly with that of other local councils the Department has dealt with recently over the same issue; they have made every effort to provide land needed for schools."
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said education was a state responsibility and she was "very concerned" the government walked away from a deal that the council had expected to finalise on Tuesday.
"For many months, the City negotiated in good faith over the sale of the land so that the community would be provided with a new school," she said.
"The Minister for Education must now explain to the local community what plans he has to provide a new school in the area given the Fig and Wattle St site has been abandoned by the NSW government."
Ultimo Public School Parents and Citizens' Association spokesman Bill d'Anthes said both the council and the government had let down the community.
"I think both sides are being unreasonable," said Mr d'Anthes, who added that the second priority site on Harris Street had been sold since the negotiations began a year ago.
Mr d'Anthes said the community was concerned that the department could revert to the 2012 proposal to redevelop the existing school to create high-rise classrooms alongside apartments and shops.
Asked if it would consider either this proposal or the Powerhouse Museum site, the department did not rule out either option.
"The Department is investigating options for a new Ultimo/Pyrmont public school, which will be discussed thoroughly with the community before a solution is implemented," a spokesman said.
Member for Sydney Alex Greenwich said when it came to a new school or the powerhouse, "it shouldn't be an either/or situation".
"I would be greatly concerned if, rather than further investing in public education, they do that by relocating an important asset," Mr Greenwich said.

Fulfill the Houstonian Interfering with the Apparel industry
That's the approach behind Kit, her brand-new line that's altering the method garments are made, producing tailor-made clothes that women not just desire however require in their lives. Guthrie's line mirrors fact for the contemporary functioning woman.
A LOT OF THE FASHION WE SEE ON THE RUNWAYS doesn't equate to our day-to-days live, according to Houston developer Merin Guthrie. She s not one to inform you that the hair plant top you saw on the springtime paths will certainly be the ideal point to put on to function following Tuesday. (Come on, it's Houston you d be dropping by 8 a.m.).
Houstonia: What was your motivation for Kit, as well as just how does that fit operating being the modest for the contemporary woman?
Guthrie: My motivation was day-to-day women. I intended to do exactly what I had actually constantly reviewed, where you get that investment item, yet after that I couldn't locate anything.
As a total outsider operating a history in business advancement, I intend to take advantage of my absence of style history to construct a company that doesn't do exactly what the fashion business does. Just what I desire it to do, as a consumer, is making clothing that I could use on a daily basis, truly quickly, permanently; that put on to break; that aren't translucent; that aren't visiting fly up when I flex over to get my bag; that are simply truly useful for my life. Which's practically just what we've been doing?
This is just what purchasing has actually come to be rates is all over the area, fit is all over the area, there's absolutely no client facing-anything.
What have you gained from developing custom-clothing?
For us its like, that's not rocket scientific research. We are right here to offer women, that are exactly how we expand, that's exactly how we advance.
What sets apart Kit from various other collections in the apparel industry?
Much regarding the style market takes place because that s the method it has actually constantly been done. I believe there's a substantial advantage to being an outsider in a sector that hasn't advanced a great deal, is not actually constructed around its clients, as well as I assume is actually quickly beginning to reveal its fractures.
Exactly what is it like to construct a company from the ground up?
It's really deeply unglamorous, however that's the component that truly obtained me jazzed up. It's the inquiry of; can you create something around women?
See this site for more clothing apparels.
I speak to women as well as they inform me that they've never ever had a dress that in fact fits. One consumer informed me, I placed my dress on and also I really felt like something was incorrect up until I recognized that it in fact fit me. And also that's just what I enjoy to listen to because every time she places that dress on she really feels impressive as well as it ups her video game.

A host of Hartnell outfits, consisting of 2 black silk velour New Look-inspired dresses, are likewise on series. She used them as a girl, prior to she ended up being queen. It was among minority times she had the ability to use black as a style declaration, as well as without it indicating something many more severe, such as grieving, or a check out to the pope.
The now-famous crowning dress is a white lady satin dress operating flower symbols standing for the queen's 9 preeminences chose in glossy strings, seed pearls, bangles and also crystals, yet it additionally birthed a secret code. Hartnell included an additional four-leaf shamrock on the left side of the skirt permanently luck, to make sure that Princess Elizabeth's hand can hinge on it throughout the event that changed her right into a queen.
Making a Reign: 90 Years of Style from The Queen's Wardrobe, the 2nd installation of a three-part event devoted to the queen's closet, opens up a home window on the queen's personal life as well as just how she involves operating the general public using her clothes, hats and also army outfit.
The sleekest appearances consist of a blue-and-white blocky coat and also much shorter hemline skirt by Hartnell in a nod to the brand-new percentages of the Sixties, and also a green-and-white formed pussy bow dress additionally by the developer that the queen used in 1977 throughout her Silver Jubilee excursion. The last would certainly not run out location at Selfridges or on the web pages of Net-a-porter.
The crowning dress is additionally representative of exactly how very closely the queen has actually collaborated with her cabinets and also couturiers for many years, to-ing and also fro-ing layouts and also switching suggestions. It's significantly a discussion, stated the manager Caroline de Guitaut, including that she desired the series to show the equilibrium the queen has actually constantly looked for in between developing her very own design, and also making sure the clothing do not obstruct of her your job.
The event, which extends throughout 3 imperial palaces, is the biggest screen of the queen's dress ever before placed as well as is indicated to note her 90th birthday celebration this year.
The Buckingham Palace series, which runs up until Oct. 2, is additionally a tribute to the queen's long time couturier Norman Hartnell that produced her wedding event dress as well as 6 years later on her crowning dress, which get on display screen with each other for the very first time.
The Buckingham Palace series is likewise the biggest, as well as types component of the yearly Summer Opening of the State Rooms. Each summertime when the queen as well as the Duke of Edinburgh relocate their house to Balmoral, Scotland, Buckingham Palace available to the general public.
De Guitaut claimed throughout a walk-through that one more among her purposes was to demonstrate how dress has actually sustained the queen in her diverse functions. The queen has actually never ever clothed to assimilate, however to stand apart in a group. Her clothing over the years mirrors a life on the red carpeting in its widest feeling.
The appeal was plainly a fortunate one: Last year, the 27-year-old princess that was crowned in 1953 came to be Britain's longest-reigning majesty.
There's a dark bougainvillea pink layer she put on for the opening of the Channel Tunnel in 1994, as well as a deep purple Hardy Amies fit she put on in 1986 throughout a see to the Great Wall of China. Both attire plainly took context and also landscape right into factor to consider. There's additionally the sparkly, putty pink dress by Angela Kelly that the queen used to the opening of the London Olympics in 2012.
This program, however, isn't practically popular old developers, yet regarding exactly how the queen was open to arising ability. In 1952, when she required a ritualistic mantle for the Order of the Garter event, the emperor resorted to style students at London s Royal College of Art for suggestions. She at some point selected one student s design that showcased a (radical for the time) zip-front design for simplicity and also convenience.
Gowns, capes as well as dress from the closet of Queen Elizabeth among the globe's earliest and also most devoted couture customers will certainly take place screen this weekend break at Buckingham Palace, in their entire gleaming peacock splendor.
2 gowns were made, one for the queen s stunt double that notoriously parachuted right into the field at the end of the James Bond-inspired brief film revealed to note the first. De Guitaut claimed shade was a crucial element in the design of the attire: The queen needed to pick a shade that was not representative of any one of the 205 nations participating in the online games.
The 3rd program will certainly open up at Windsor Castle on Sept. 17, and also function evening dress endured unique events in addition to amateur staged outfits the queen as well as her family members used for youth pantomimes at the castle.
There are additionally spaces committed to the queen s armed forces clothes, as well as to her countless hats an area of intense blooms on display screen versus a scenery of black. The queen has actually collaborated with concerning loads milliners since the 1930's, as well as their productions consist of headscarf covers from the Seventies, cloches, bretons, ones operating uneven borders, blossoms or edges. All them have actually been developed to structure and also emphasize instead of shade her face.
While among her purposes has actually been to attract attention in a group, one more has actually been to admire fellow royals and also very important people. For a state check out to Ethiopia in 1965, she used an environment-friendly Hartnell dress operating the Insignia of the Order of Ethiopia, while she picked a mimosa-yellow silk-chiffon dress made by Ian Thomas for her 1974 browse through to Australia. It's decorated operating sprigs of wattle, Autralia's nationwide flower symbol.
Some were made for the royal family members by Prince Albert as well as Queen Victoria as well as are still put on by the royal family members today. There's additionally kilt belonging to the queen from the very early Fifties that she coupled operating a tweed coat by Hartnell.
All 3 exhibits have actually been curate by de Guitaut that is elderly manager of ornamental arts at The Royal Collection, among the last terrific European imperial collections to continue to be undamaged.
Clothing-optional plan at Hanlan's coastline display screens Toronto s resistance
The clothes optional coastline on Toronto Islands is a wonderful instance of metropolitan concession in the flesh. It's a civil compact that has actually held since 2002 when city council accepted the blended system for Hanlan's Point.
It's a public space as well as site visitors need to have the right to use exactly what they desire. It's regarding liberty of selection, stated Lisa Rutherford, 47, a reinsurance broker that was seeing Hanlan's on Thursday to sunbathe partially nude yet decides not to strip additionally.
Like the city itself, Hanlan's is special exactly because it blends all types. The young and also the old; the gay as well as the straight; the attractive and also the not a lot; the dressed, the unclothed as well as the half-clothed all side-by-side on the sand, seeing the play of the sun on the water and also taking pleasure in the cool of the lake wind. Exactly what could be much more Toronto compared to that?
That they intend to maintain the distinct sensation of the location is easy to understand, yet not if it implies omitting others.
Hanlan's coastline is a gorgeous area operating sights over the turquoise waters of the lake to the western Toronto coast. Hanlan's flaunts blue-flag standing, an action of safety, tidiness and also maintenance.
Councilor Kyle Rae led the transfer to permit nakedness at Hanlan's formally. Currently a teacher of city government at Ryerson University, he bears in mind just how Councilor Giorgio Mammoliti, drew his tee shirt off as well as went bare-chested to object the concept.
Some individuals come simply to sunbathe, striping just when they exist down on their coastline coverings. At twelve noon Thursday, concerning fifty percent of the individuals on the coastline were unclothed, although that decreased to possibly a 3rd as even more individuals showed up off the Hanlan's ferryboat and also the coastline loaded up.
Large cities endure via little concessions. When individuals of various histories, demands as well as practices are thrown up in a usual space, it takes great deals of exchange.
City personnel claimed that a three-year experiment operating the clothing-optional concept had actually gone efficiently. Personnel published indicators to advise the negligent concerning the coastline, in case any person could stumble on it or fall short to comprehend the regulations. There shows up to is assistance for the coastline and also an understanding that this kind of coastline could exist in consistency operating fabric, or clothing-required, coastlines, claimed an earnest record on the concern.
Older guys operating deep ubiquitous sun tans strolled back as well as forth along the water s side. A household the woman nude, the male using his showering match, their young children taking their fits on and also off as they pleased stretched on coastline towels as their little pet talked a lot and also ran in circles.
To maintain it functioning, each side has to be conscious of the various other s sensations. It's a little uneasy when you're so surpassed.
Currently there's problem on the coastline. A woman that checked out the coastline operating her male good friend claimed a couple of males approached and also motivated them to strip prior to proceeding.
Basically, this was an extremely Toronto procedure organized, purposeful, governmental, including enough examination, discussion and also all those various other good ideas. No coastline anarchy or arbitrary nakedness right here! We placed it bent on research, checked it, after that changed a law making it lawful.

take it, youve gone to Dell's site and put in the 7 digit serial number which should bring up the exact spec of your laptop and which driver you need?
Does the bluetooth symbol appear on the LEDs? Think there is a FN + some other key to turn it on

Fatherhood Friday's
Hey! I get a weekend at home this weekend! It seems like with football games, weddings and baptisms we are gone 1 weekend day and sometimes part of another. This weekend is going to be great since we should be home both Saturday and Sunday. Of course, we still have a list of stuff that needs to get done this weekend since it is one of the weekends that I will be home both days and Jen has pictures but that's a given. The big project is going to be getting all of our outside stuff taken out to Jen's parents house and then all of our winter stuff back to our house. I am also thinking about putting our Christmas lights on our house. That is the project that I do not like to do each year. Once I am on the roof I am fine but getting up there and getting down is the scariest part. I hope that I can live through getting the lights done to write another post again next week.
Love, Jon/DADA

"Someone won a prize for designing this hellhole"
About: Central Middlesex Hospital Central Middlesex Hospital NW10 7NS
Posted by Allen
Come by ambulance - it's the only way. Don't drive - signs are abysmal, possibly as bad as at Heathrow airport. Once inside, signage is awful - unclear, too small, illogical.
Then once you do find the way to your clinic/location, be prepared for a very long walk.
Brand-new buildings such as this should be built around the patient's needs, and this one definitely isn't.
And as usual mainly dedicated staff do what they can to make up for the appalling lack of thought that has gone into the building's design.

text: My son is officially a toddler. He's 16 months! That time has passed way too fast. I have tried to hold on to all the milestones, moments and memories. I even have a lock of his hair from his first haircut. I'm guessing that once his little teeth start to fall out, I'll keep those too. As odd as it may seem, I think my teeth are still somewhere around my moms house. I guess it may be kinda weird. Just random, little teeth in a box in the house. Maybe weird. I think it's sweet. I just read about a way to take it to a whole other level. There's a company that will make your child's tooth into a piece of jewelry. They'll do a mold of it and cast it in silver. Who needs the tooth fairy? You can wear the tooth around your neck for all to see. What better way to show your child how much you love them? On the other hand, what better way to embarrass your child for life and ensure your stay at Shady Pines Nursing Home? Is this cool or creepy?

Monrovia, California (PressExposure) February 25, 2011 -- William C. Shakespeare, Ph.D., Vice President, Drug Discovery at ARIAD Pharmaceuticals to give featured presentation on "Tackling Mutation-Based Resistance in Kinase Drug Discovery: Ponatinib, a Pan-BCR-ABL Inhibitor and AP26113, A Next Generation ALK Inhibitor" at GTCbio's 6th Protein Kinases in Drug Discovery Conference on May 26-27, 2011 in Boston, MA
Dr. Shakespeare will address how mutation-based resistance is an inevitable consequence of targeted kinase inhibitor therapy. Ponatinib (AP24534) is an orally active multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that potently inhibits all known resistant BCR-ABL mutations, including the T315I gatekeeper mutation. AP26113 is a next generation ALK inhibitor that overcomes mutations that confer resistance to crizotinib. A brief overview leading to the discovery of ponatinib will be described and the biological characterization of AP26113 will be reviewed.
Dr. Shakespeare has served as ARIAD's Vice President of Drug Discovery since April 2009 and has held multiple positions since joining ARIAD in July 1996. Prior to ARIAD, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Astra AB where he focused on CNS research.
Also presenting at the Protein Kinase Conference are prestigious organizations including Abbott, Ansaris, Arqule, Avila Tx, Biogen Idec, Boehringer Ingelheim, Dana Farber, DE Shaw Research, Genentech, Harvard Medical School, Invitrogen, Millennium, Merck, Novartis, OSI Pharma, Pfizer, and other leaders in the kinase industry.

You see them at malls manning exhibits of subdivision developments, say Filinvest Land Inc.'s Corona del Mar or Commonwealth Estate Inc.'s Collinwood.
They entertain you during open houses of subdivision or condominium projects and show you around the house models or condo units that are for sale.
They take you "tripping"—the term used in the Philippine realty service to describe the practice of bringing prospective buyers to one or more properties so they can choose what best suits them.
They're known as real estate brokers and because of the nature of their profession, they need to be a little bit of a PR person, lawyer, accountant, conciliator, geodetic engineer, says Trade and Industry Regulatory Division-Cebu Province chief Zaide C. Bation.
Negotiating the sale of real properties in behalf of the owner is just one of the many things real estate brokers do. Brokers can also look for property that a client can buy or lease, negotiate the exchange of properties between owners, or look for a property investor or developer that can enter into a joint venture agreement with a landowner.
In return, brokers get what is called a commission. The amount of commission that a broker gets is not legislated, rather it is dictated by current industry rates. The prevailing rate of commission for brokers for a single transaction is between 3 to 5 percent of the transaction cost.
Individuals and corporations may be licensed as brokers by the Department of Trade and Industry's Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection (BTRCP). A corporation though has to designate in a board resolution the person who will represent it in real estate brokerage and he or she must be a licensed practitioner.
Helping brokers do their tasks are real estate salesmen. Salesmen do not need to take the licensure examination for brokers but they too must be licensed. A salesman's license is an extension of that of his or her broker.
Salesmen take on the duties and responsibilities of real estate brokers and they get a "share" in the commission from the sale or transaction that they bring about.
Only natural persons can be real estate salesmen.
An appraiser is another important real estate practitioner. Appraisers can be individuals or corporations. Their job is to render an estimate of or offer expert advice on real estate values.
The purposes of appraising real estate values can be in line with purchase and sale, financing and credit, corporate affairs, partition of estate, or eminent domain.
Appraisers estimate a property's fair market value and may use various means to do it. Among the more common methods used by appraisers are market data approach, cost approach, and income approach. More on this in later posts.
The fourth real estate practitioner is the consultant.
DTI's Zaide Bation says this is where the money is in real estate practice. You need to have some serious experience though as broker and appraiser, from 5 to 10 years, and pass the BTRCP exam before you can be considered a real estate consultant.
Consultants can be natural persons or corporations. They provide professional advice and judgment to property developers.
Brokers, salesmen, appraisers, and consultants. They are the four prominent people in the realty service practice and if you're thinking of buying or selling property, chances are you'll run into any one or two of them.
