A defining moment in the history of humanity?
I'm hearing from lots of people around the world that you're feeling something 'big' is going to happen. It seems we're all tuning in to a time of pretty major upheaval at some point in the not-too-distant future. It's no surprise, such times have been foretold frequently enough and there's a great deal of uncertainty right now in world affairs. It feels like the energy is moving in a direction of radical change. I feel that a major 'event' is going to happen, to cause people to look up from the pavement, through the flashing neon-lighted concrete and steel, directly into the 'heavens above'. It feels like something defining is needed to shake humanity to its very core. And if that's true, which certainly feels the case to me, then by the Law of Attraction, we're bound to draw that kind of event to us.
There's many ways in which such a big event could happen. Take for example war in the Middle East. If you've not realised it yet, the powers-that-be need such a major event to restructure the world's failing economy. The West is indebted way over its head and there is no earthly way to pay back the foreign loans. Both the US and EU economies are teetering on the brink of financial collapse, which would likely cause major social unrest (it already is).
So they need to reduce the debt radically and quickly. What better way than to create another round of 'problem/reaction/solution'? Generate a problem area – like the Middle East – then manufacture a 'just cause' to create a martial economic state, devalue the currencies and write off the foreign debt in the process. Am I dreaming, or is it already happening?
But I suspect Humanity's attempts to control the unraveling matrix will be overtaken by other major events – shifts in universal consciousness which cannot be so easily constrained. There are major internal realignments taking place within the solar logos for example, resulting in the release of solar flares. Indeed we're moving into a period of quite intense solar storm activity. Should the earth be hit by such a storm, as has happened in the past, it could immediately wipe out not only our power grids and communication systems, but also probably swathes of the earth's arable land. Solar activity is certainly something that has registered strongly in my consciousness of late.
The crystal clear clarity of the main stream
But let me quickly add, that by talking openly about such things, I am not intending to spread fear – quite the opposite. For me the worst thing that could possibly happen is that society limps on in some kind of zombie-like status-quo. To me, a slow degradation of our humanity and our quality of beingness is in the interests of no one. The universe is yearning to unravel the blocked energy that our society has wrapped itself up in, and I for one, will not be sad to witness that blockage unwinding itself.
To me, this situation presents a major opportunity for mankind. If we can have trust in the inherent beingness flowing through our souls, then we'll be presented with the opportunity to leave this dense, distorting eddy current and rejoin the crystal clear clarity of the main stream.
Many people are living in fear already, and they don't even realise it. They're living in a not-so-cosy state of isolation from the natural flow and our interconnectivity with all life. They're so busy trying to protect what little they have, that they've forgotten our true heavenly nature: that which is beyond death and suffering; that which is magical, mystical and eternal…
Who would grovel around in the dirt and the muck for a few decades,
scratching around for an ever dwindling piece of illusionary security,
in exchange for just one day of divine, interconnected freedom?
Looking fearlessly into the jaws of fear
It seems many have forgotten the true magic of what it really feels like to look directly into the jaws of fear and not be cowed by it. Instead to say "yes my body may get broken, but my spirit never will". Tell me what that is worth?
When you confront and loose your fear of death,
something truly magical happens:
you start to loose your fear of living too.
It means you start to become increasingly vulnerable to the moment. When we're vulnerable and can be awesomely okay with that, it means we can keep opening. We don't tighten down when things get tough. And if we don't close down, then we're open to the univeral stream flowing through us. In this place, literally ANYTHING becomes possible. Paradoxically, it's by letting go of life that we truly get a chance to live!
Following the flow of the soul
So how might we best approach the challenging and changing times that are beginning to unravel all around us. Here are some tips and advice which spring into my consciousness…
Openness, commitment and love
No one can accurately prophecy because the future is shaped by the feelings, intentions and choices we all make in the moment. However, there comes a point when the moment is so committed to a particular flow of circumstance, that it becomes inevitable for a chain process to unfold. It's just like taking a step, there comes a point when your foot is sure to land, it's simply a question of when and exactly how.
I feel that's the situation we're all living in right now.
It feels very much to me as if certain 'tipping points' have been activated.
I'd say a convergence of consciousness is taking place with the divine purpose of unraveling a particularly persistent blockage – the very society in which we live.
We can either live in fear of that, deny it is happening, or do something much more courageous, much more divine, much more human. We can embrace the coming changes with openness, commitment and love. We can see it as an opportunity to truly let go of the limitation and constriction of the past. We can re-embrace the divine flow of life and allow it to sweep us up into our rightful place – an eternal fearlessness, openly embracing change and continual evolution.
Indeed, something big is about to happen !

I am with you girls on this one - POSITIVE is what we are creating and POSITIVE will be the outcome. To me, the essence of it can best be described as an *awakening* and I call to the universe with all my being to make it so.
Rick, I agree 100%. FUN is the name of the game. And the game has one rule: LOVE.
"Evil" is there to provide the "springboard" to propel us to greater heights - for without an awareness of IT, there can be no awareness of its polar opposite... and as you say, it is a battle of consciousness - a battle of consciousness VS ignorance. Light vs darkness.
Vlada: I have often pondered this same question, time and time again, and I have come to my personal conclusion that the purpose of "Man", God's theme of "Man on Earth".....is to have FUN!! To co-create beautiful patterns....then one may say 'what about war, greed, suffering, evil....???" and my anwser to this may be shocking....I say these things are ALL part of the pattern of Beauty, God's beauty, the Beauty of Duality, playing itself out, in whatever form....the trick is in the constant Evolution of the "Battle".....Battle? Yes, Battle of Consciousness
I don't think there is anyone who wants to see a "big change" more than I do - but the feeling that "something big" is about to happen has been with me since the 'Flower Power" days... and yet, I have not seen it. About the ONLY thing that seems to happen on a constant basis is NOTHING. And when I analyze why, it seems that it is because we aren't doing anything to effectively STOP certain minority groups from doing the things they do that are wreaking havoc. We can blog and whine and complain and visualize a better world till the cows come home, but until we all UNITE and let these groups KNOW we will not stand for what they are doing, they will simply keep on doing these things.
I think for many of us we have felt this energy for sometime now
Something does feel imminent, but i have been feeling this way for a long, long time and get tired of reading channelings that make all sorts of predictions that never seem to happen. I myself, have developed new senses, see energy whirls and see through my closed eyes to movie-like scenes of other dimensions, but they are confusing and just leave me asking more questions. I am aware my body is being "worked", I actually get comforted sometimes by hands rubbing my shoulders or back. I am at peace with this, though at first I was scared. So I have my own proof that things are changing but I agree that the time is here and I am weary of the old reality, which we need to operate in to keep functioning here. I don't want to see thousands of people dying again, I want to walk into the new world, where's the door?
what an awsome post..... I just said to my hubby this week that i have been feeling as if i am on "high alert", hyper vigilant, that something BIG is going to happen,
so glad you posted this i needed to read such an affirmation at this time

Firefighters cut a woman from her car after an accident caused by ladders lying on the A350, which saw police close the southbound carriageway for over two hours.
The accident happened on Monday just after 10am when the ladders fell off a Ford pickup van travelling on the A350 towards Chippenham.
The driver parked to retrieve the ladders, but at the same time a woman driving a Peugeot 206 tried to avoid them and crashed into the back of the pickup van.
Police closed the southbound carriageway until 12.26pm so that firefighters could cut the woman free and the road could be cleared.
She was taken to the Royal United Hospital, Bath, by an ambulance to be treated for minor neck and leg injuries.
The man was arrested for driving with an insecure load and investigations continue.

Granderson caps Mets' rally with walk-off single
After Germen allows homers, New York bests tough closer Cishek
NEW YORK -- Considering how many improbabilities the Mets have already overcome this season, besting a seemingly unbeatable closer did not seem too daunting a task. So when Steve Cishek strolled to the mound with a one-run lead in the ninth inning Friday night, the Mets simply put their collective heads down and went to work.
Cishek had converted a franchise-record 33 consecutive save opportunities for the Marlins, which did not stop Lucas Duda from opening the ninth with a bloop single. Two outs later, Omar Quintanilla shot a game-tying hit to left, where Christian Yelich forfeited any chance of throwing out Duda when he slipped trying to field it.
With the score knotted, pinch-hitter Kirk Nieuwenhuis then doubled and Curtis Granderson ripped a walk-off single past first base, giving the Mets a 4-3 victory and a three-game winning streak.
"Any time you get a chance to win and celebrate and jump up and down with your teammates is always a positive," Granderson said, "no matter how you do it."
The Mets did it the same way they have in most of their wins this season: with strong starting pitching and just enough offense. Zack Wheeler certainly pitched well enough to win, striking out 10 over six innings of one-run ball. But back-to-back homers off Gonzalez Germen in the eighth necessitated the come-from-behind theatrics.
And theatrical it was for a Mets team that did everything right, but still needed a touch of good fortune to finish off the win. Duda's ball was softly hit, for example, landing in just the right patch of outfield grass. After Travis d'Arnaud followed with a sacrifice bunt to move Duda into scoring position, Bobby Abreu evened out the Mets' luck by scorching an opposite-field liner directly into Yelich's glove.
The rally could have died there. It didn't. A seldom-used bench player who entered on a double-switch two innings earlier, Quintanilla worked the count full off Cishek before punching an outside slider into left field for his fifth hit of the season.
"I'll tell you what, it was a tough at-bat," Quintanilla said. "I went up there, battled, just tried to get something I could hit. He threw me a lot of back-door sliders that were tough pitches to lay off. With the 3-2 count, I just went up there and put a solid bat on it and got it over the third baseman."
Manager Terry Collins next made an unorthodox move, substituting the left-handed Nieuwenhuis for switch-hitter Eric Young. Collins based the strategy on the brief history of success off Cishek, which grew longer when Nieuwenhuis boomed a double to center. That might have scored Quintanilla had third-base coach Tim Teufel not thrown up a hasty stop sign.
No need to force things with the winning run just 90 feet from home. All the Mets needed was a hit from Granderson, who was mired in a 2-for-30 slump.
Make that 3-for-31.
"If he starts to heat up," Collins said, "things are going to get much better."
Yet how much better can they get for a Mets team that has now won five of six and eight of 11? Regardless of what the offense does, the Mets will continue leaning on a rotation that has delivered 11 consecutive starts of three runs or fewer, producing a 1.81 ERA over that stretch. Wheeler contributed to that stat line Friday with his best start of the season, which was flawed only in its inefficiency -- he needed 110 pitches to complete six innings.
But Wheeler saved some of his best sliders and changeups for the trickiest spots, escaping particularly dicey jams in the fifth and sixth innings.
"You've got to make big pitches at certain points in the game," Wheeler said. "That's what I did."
Had it not been for back-to-back homers from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Garrett Jones in the eighth, Wheeler would have won. As it was, he watched from the sidelines as the Mets, for the second time this month, walked off winners at Citi Field.
Afterward, they congratulated each other on a victory snatched from the clutches of improbability. They've been doing it all year. Since opening the season 0-3 -- a tough start for a club that general manager Sandy Alderson predicted would win 90 games -- the Mets have played .650 ball.
They are now on pace for 92 wins. It's improbable that they will reach that mark, but improbability has not stopped the Mets yet.
"It can become a habit," Collins said of his team's late magic. "When you look back at some of those teams in recent years that have won, you're always seeing them on SportsCenter walking off, because they've got character and they don't quit. So hopefully we can build on this."

Garmin made a pretty big splash last year when it debuted the Nuvi 880, its first-ever Internet-connected portable navigation device (PND) featuring MSN Direct data service. With MSN Direct scheduled to go offline in the very near future, Garmin had to create something to fill this void, so it partnered with AT&T to create a Garmin-branded data service called NuLink and a new connected PND to utilize it: the Garmin Nuvi 1690.
The Nuvi 1690 and the NuLink service work together to bring turn-by-turn directions, live fuel prices and traffic data, and Google Local and White Pages search to the dashboard in one package, all without the hassle of monthly fees--at least not for the first two years.
Physically, the Nuvi 1690 is the familiar touch screen with a suction cup design that is the standard fare for all Nuvis and indeed most PNDs. The most noticeable external change comes in the form of the gloss-black frame with chrome trim that surrounds the 4.3-inch touch screen, but there are more subtle changes.
Looking at the unit's left side; we see that the SD card slot--which has been standard on the Nuvi line for years--has been shrunken to microSD size. This change most likely frees up internal space, but it also means that users' current full-size SD cards for additional regional maps and points of interest (POI) will not work with the 1690.
Checking the top edge, we see that the power slider with locking mode has been replaced by a simple button. While there's no longer a hardware screen lock, you can still achieve the same effect by tapping the power button to bring up an onscreen menu with options for screen brightness, power, and screen lock. Once locked, pressing the power button again will unlock the screen. And, of course, holding the power button for 3 seconds will immediately boot or shutdown the unit.
On the 1690's back panel is a single speaker, and along its bottom edge are a mini USB port and a 10-pin connector that interfaces with the included suction-cup cradle. The cradle features a very strong lever-actuated suction cup and is also equipped with a Mini-USB port for connecting the included 12-volt car charger. We like that the cradle's charger port allows for one-handed removal of the Nuvi for short trips away from the car. We also like that the Nuvi's redundant Mini-USB port allows it to be used and charged without the cradle, increasing portability.
Other notable changes are software-based. The menu icons have received a graphical refresh and are now more colorful with finer gradients and reflection effects. The menu button on the map screen has decreased in size, been moved to the lower-left corner of the screen, and relabeled Back. Meanwhile, the home screen has gained a top status bar displaying status icons for GPS signal strength, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation mode (driving, walking, or bicycling), the current time, the current temperature, NuLink signal strength, and battery state.
As we mentioned earlier, the major feature around which the Nuvi 1690 is built is the NuLink data service. The service operates on AT&T's EDGE network and is free for the first two years of ownership, after which users can elect to pay a $5 per month subscription or use the Nuvi without the connection. However, there is a catch. Garmin isn't offering free data service out of the kindness of its heart. During those first two years, the NuLink service is ad-supported, so periodically you will see text ads and offers on the map, menu, and POI search screens, but never on the map screen when the vehicle is moving. Safety first, you know.
For your trouble, the NuLink service streams traffic and incident data, fuel prices, weather forecasts, Google Local POI search, White Pages search, airline flight info, and local events and movie showtimes to the Nuvi 1690's screen. Unlike older Nuvis that receive traffic data over the FM band, the 1690's wireless antenna is built into the unit itself--and not the power cable--so the 1690 loses no functionality outside of its cradle.
Bluetooth wireless connectivity is available for hands-free calling, but A2DP audio streaming is missing in this model--presumably due to the absence of the MP3 and Audible.com audio-book players. Pairing with a phone is completed with a four-digit PIN, after which the user is given access to their phone's voice-dialing function (if available), dialing from the POI select and contact screens, and a 10-key phone pad, but we were unable to import our contacts en masse.

The damp nature of attics provides an ideal environment for molds to thrive. There are many types of molds that grow in the attic. The most common ones are: allergenic molds. These ones tend to irritate the sinuses or respiratory system when you inhale them in moderate or large amounts.
There are also pathogenic molds that affect people suffering from AIDS and other autoimmune disorders.
Mycotoxic molds are also present and they are the most dangerous. These ones attack the immune system thus compromising your body defense.
Effects of Attic Mold in Hunt TX 78024
The effects depend on the type of mold that is in your attic. For example, if your attic has allergenic molds, you are bound to experience allergies. Some of the signs that you will experience include: coughing, headaches, fatigue, sneezing, and sore throat.
If your attic has mycotoxic mold, you can have mental confusion, brain damage, brain damage, swelling, and joint pain.
How to Remove Attic Mold
To avoid the effects you should get rid of molds from the attic. You should start by wearing protective clothes such as mask, gloves, and goggles. These clothes will prevent you from inhaling the mold in Hunt TX 78024. They will also ensure that you don't have constant skin contact with mold.
After doing this you should go ahead and remove the surface mold. The best tool to use is a paint scraper. You should then pour Pine-sol cleanser into your pail and then soak your sponge in the solution. For ideal results you should use full strength Pine-sol.
You should wipe all the areas that had come into contact with the mold. The cool thing of using the sponge is that it allows the cleanser to easily penetrate rafters and get access to the spores that might be hiding in the crevices.
When the entire place is clean you should set the dehumidifier to high and leave it on for three days. The purpose of leaving the dehumidifier on is to remove excess moisture in the attic thus killing all the mold that might be remaining.
This is what you need to know about attic mold. For ideal results you should kill mold during the dry days. This is to ensure that there's low humidity in the attic.
To ensure that you are safe you should ensure that the attic in Hunt TX 78024 is well-ventilated. This calls for you to open all the vents, windows and doors.

Best Jerky Season I Have Found
Aug. 5, 2016
I have made hundreds of pounds of beef jerky with this sweet hardwood seasoning. I have tried so many seasonings I lost count but this one is the best. I cut beef into strips and then mix the season and cure together and coat the meat. One pack of season to 1 pound of meat. I often add an extra pack of just the season. I dry it in my dehydrator or smoke it. Always a big hit

Absolute favourite!!
Feb. 9, 2014
Bought this flavouring on a hunch, and I am glad i took a chance. By far the best jerky i have made has been with this seasoning. I use a Bradley Smoker with a combination of Cherry and Whiskey Oak bisquettes, alternating each puck for a total cold smoke(140F) of 3 hours, then turning the heat up to 220 for another 3-4 hours. The smokiness just adds to the already fantastic flavour of this seasoning. I have had to start selling the jerky as i going to go broke with all the "taste tests" that everyone wants. Thanks for the great flavour!

People of Earth. The revolution has not come, the barbarians are not at the gate, this is not the first sign of the apocalypse.
Yes Fifty Shades of Grey is on its way to being a movie, with the announcement of a director and two stars. It is going to be made. You can't stop it. But now is not the time to forswear cinema-going for the rest of your life.
In fact, there is just a chance that Fifty Shades of Grey the movie might be, if not objectively good, then at least a whole lot better than the book.
Let's set the context. When it comes to Fifty Shades of Grey, don't think about erotic fiction and BDSM. Think rather of Harry Potter and Twilight.
The former made it acceptable for adults to read children's fantasy. The latter introduced the young adult genre to the mainstream. In doing so they both spawned commercial empires and, more to the point, mega movie franchises that set financial records, launched careers and forever altered the conventions of film title punctuation (thank you The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I).
Crucially, unlike book series that did well in their genre's demographic, but not outside of it – Percy Jackson, Beautiful Creatures, The Mortal Instruments - these series enticed fans and non-fans to the cinema in equal measure.
That is what Fifty Shades of Grey wants to do. Lure the 70 million readers (based on reported sales) to buy a ticket, whether it is out of fealty, pride, defiance or curiosity. Lure everyone else to follow suit, if only to find out what all the fuss is about.
Yes, there may also be a desire to tell E.L. James' story, but in this particular relationship, commercial enterprise is the dominant, artistic endeavour the submissive.
Yet, it is the story at the heart of this book, paired with its R-rated action, that may just result in good filmmaking. The makers won't have any choice; this material won't work as a film as it stands.
Fifty Shades of Grey has more in common with Twilight than just a huge fan base. It is common knowledge that it started as a fleshed-out (in more ways than one) piece of fan fiction that was originally written with the title Master of the Universe, featuring Bella, Edward and other Twilight characters.
More to the point, in the same way that Twilight is a teen romance with the supernatural layered over it, Fifty Shades of Grey is also a teen romance. A young adult story laced with super-adult erotica.
It is not, as radio sound bites and dinner party conversation would have us all believe, just a series of sexual romps starring whips and leather. That comes later in the series. The only scene of extreme BDSM (bondage and discipline, Sadism and Masochism) in the first story occurs at the end.
So director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel can't just offer this up as it stands (or kneels submissively). The teen core and adult exterior will require extensive adaptation. That's good news. That's where good cinema comes from.
Until then it is a story of an innocent girl's quest to form a relationship with an emotionally damaged not-much-older man. His story of sexual awakening as a teen is crucial. Her's takes place here, alongside more discussion of contracts than you'd find in a second-year law class.
Yes, there is sex in it. Plenty. But there is also a lot of angst, obsession and frustration. The sort of first-adult-relationship tale that we know far, far too well.
The Twilight films didn't have a problem with this. They embraced it. Stephenie Meyer as author happily defanged vampires, rendering them into glittery, mysterious sighs on legs. Werewolves are noble savages with limited wardrobe budgets. Angst was everything.
So the films just projected the teen hormone-laced story onto the screen, and the movies suffered for it. No adaptation required. Scene for scene. Sigh for sigh. Twilight the book was Twilight the script. Fans embraced the familiar. Non-fans cringed at it all.
E.L. James went the other way. Her hero, Christian Grey, has a fortune, a shadowy past and a wardrobe not only filled with clothing but also outfits whose accessories he purchases in hardware stores such as the one in which our innocent heroine Anastasia earns her pocket money.
So director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel can't just offer this up as it stands (or kneels submissively). The teen core and adult exterior will require extensive adaptation. That's good news. That's where good cinema comes from.
It's also risky, and that's where the directorial and acting decisions make sense, despite some fans' outcries.
Charlie Hunnam is not just the star of Pacific Rim and Sons of Anarchy, he also played Nathan the teen boy love interest in the original Queer as Folk. He has already shown and done it all on screen, at a far younger age.
Dakota Johnson is the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, who was Miss Golden Globe in 2006 (an odd pageant-like title for celebrity children associated with the awards) and whose celebrity lifestyle has taken in everything from modelling to rehab.
They're under the direction of Taylor-Johnson, who married the star of her only feature film, Nowhere Boy, when she was 42 and he was 19.
This is a team that will take risks on screen. This is a film that isn't going to shy away from the controversial.
They are also all skilled. Hunnam and Johnson are both promising actors. Nowhere Boy was a great piece of direction, elegantly portraying John Lennon's own teen angst. That partly explains how Taylor-Johnson got the gig ahead of a list of names that supposedly included Angelina Jolie, Steven Soderbergh, Joe Wright and Gus Van Sant.
Best of all, the words themselves will go. James' writing style is of a quality that prompted Salman Rushdie to suggest that "Fifty Shades of Grey makes Twilight look like War and Peace".
The sentences that first told this story will, it is hoped, be "adapted" in the way agent orange adapts a herb garden.
Taylor-Johnson is the right gardener for the job. She has beaten colon cancer and breast cancer. She has posed nude with her now husband.
"I took on cancer like I take on everything: like a mission and a job to accomplish," she told Harper's Bazaar once.
She won't shy away from embracing the subject matter, nor ruthless change.
It's unlikely Universal Pictures or the producers will complain. They purchased the name and the audience.
What about the sex? Many have suggested that the scenes in the book can't be shown in a film. Or if they are, they will lose their essence.
Well, mainstream cinema is hardly having its chastity belt unlocked for the very first time.
In 1992, Basic Instinct turned the sex up to 11 on a noir plot and spawned a body of duplicates, including Madonna's Body of Evidence, but also such films as Disclosure, Showgirls, Sliver and Striptease. These are the films people are thinking of and, perhaps rightly, pointing at as examples of trashing the story for skin.
That's just one style though. Big-name directors have had extreme sex scenes in films ranging from Mulholland Drive to Antichrist, with a detour for a Last Tango in Paris before taking in nearly any film Pedro Almodovar has made.
Sexual practices themselves have been the focus of many a film. Eyes Wide Shut, Shame, Crash, Secretary and the Australian film Sleeping Beauty have been critically admired while exploring various aspects of the topic. Boogie Nights went one step further and made a "bright shining star" of Mark Wahlberg while making a film about making pornography and it certainly didn't leave much to the imagination.
More recently on television, HBO has given us the term "sexposition" as such shows as True Blood, Sex and the City and Game of Thrones took advantage of their cable channel home to see just how much they could get away with.
Sex is not new to cinema. Sex is not inherently cheap or sensational in cinema. Sex on screen requires a deft touch.
So does teen angst. If that isn't handled well it is an act of sadism in itself.
To combine both on screen will require a lot of adaptation. Risk taking. Change.
All good things in a movie.
Over to you, Sam.

Texas Buffalo Soldiers to Host Events Celebrating African American History Month
AUSTIN — In honor of African American History month, the Texas Buffalo Soldiers will be presenting special events in College Station on Feb. 17 and Austin on Feb. 20 that celebrate the rich cultural history of African Americans in Texas.
During the Indian Wars of the late 1800s, African Americans composed about 20 percent of the U.S. Calvary. The black soldiers of the 9th & 10th Cavalry and the 24th & 25th Infantry Regiments were nicknamed "Buffalo Soldiers" by the Native Americans because their bravery and strength during battle was reflective of the buffalo's spirit. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Texas Buffalo Soldier program is dedicated to educating youth not only about the Buffalo Soldiers, but also about the vaqueros, negro cowboys, frontier women, Native Americans and other cultural groups in Texas during the late 1800s.
Students of all ages across the state will get a glimpse of what life was like for a buffalo soldier with the annual "Life of a Buffalo Soldier" program, which will be held at the George Bush Presidential Library on the Texas A&M campus on Feb. 17.
"During this program we will interpret the history of the 9th Cavalry on the Texas frontier as well as the different cultures they came across and interacted with during their time in Texas," said Luis Padilla, program director. "It will include interpretive story telling from a Seminole scout and Cathay Williams, the first female Buffalo Soldier."
This year the Texas Buffalo Soldiers will be introducing a new element to the program, by partnering up with the Media Diversity Council and streaming the event live on the web. They will also be launching a new distance learning program in collaboration with the Texas Education Telecommunications Network. Immediately following the program, TETN will broadcast to a select number of schools for a special live interactive Q&A session.
"With these new processes, we are now able to reach an even larger audience through the window of technology," said Padilla.
In a joint venture between TPWD and the Texas Historical Commission, on Feb. 20 the Buffalo Soldiers will be posting the Colors during the opening ceremonies at Victory Grill, in east Austin. The THC will be designating the Victory Grill as a historical landmark for African American history.
Austin's oldest standing blues club, the Victory Grill was opened in 1945 by Johnny Holmes as an ice house and venue for local blues musicians. It later expanded to a bar and grill that provided food and entertainment for African American soldiers returning from war, as segregation prohibited them from going into most places in town. Victory Grill has hosted a number of local and famous acts, including B.B. King, Louis Armstrong and Ike and Tina Turner.
The Texas Buffalo Soldiers will also be holding Black History Month Celebrations on Austin Community College campuses on Feb. 18, and will be holding programs at Austin High School in Austin on Feb. 26. For a complete listing of events throughout 2010, visit the Buffalo Soldiers web pages on the TPWD Web site.

Surah Taha
85- He said, 'We tried your people after you left and the Samaritan has misguided them.'
They ask why society will be corrupted after Hazrat Mahdi (as). The reason for that mindset is explained in the Qur'an. One single person is enough to impair all of society. While one person tries to lead society to faith and Islam, another sends it down the wrong road. For example, Darwin was by himself strong enough to send much of the world down the wrong path. That means that active, powerful leaders with strong will also have the power to influence all of society, by Allah's choosing. And a fanatical satan with a devilish character could have the strength to ruin everything, were it not for Hazrat Mahdi (as). The result is a huge difference between two poles. While one can ruin all of society, the other can make it perfect. Ever since the time of the Prophet Adam (as), there has been a struggle between Mahdis and dajjals, and that will go on until the Day of Reckoning. There is nothing else in the history of the world. There are two struggles. There is that between Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the dajjal (antichrist) in our day. There are all these upheavals and protests in Islamic countries. They are shouting against the antichrist, but not targeting the antichrist specifically. The antichrist is hurting them, and they want to be freed. In the same way that someone thrown into the flames will lose all reason and run around here and there in all directions, that is how they are. They need to identify Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the antichrist. Someone needs to say what they are running from, what is disturbing them, and what the way out is. Just shouting is not enough.
87-They said, 'We did not break our promise to you of our own volition. But we were weighed down with the heavy loads of the people's jewelry and we threw them in, for that is what the Samaritan did.'
They say they put all their gold and treasure. The power that gold has on people is revealed here. Allah shows us how gold can lead people.
88-Then he produced a calf for them, a physical form which made a lowing sound. So they said, 'This is your god – and Moses's god as well, but he forgot.'
In other words, they return to the most ancient pagan belief. The idol of the calf is sacred in Egyptian religion. The belief is Egyptian religion is actually a Darwinist, materialist one. They represent it in that calf.
91-They said, 'We will not stop devoting ourselves to it until Moses returns to us.'
92-He said, 'What prevented you following me, Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray?
Allah shows how a leaderless society goes astray, what happens to a society with no Mahdi. Society is not corrupted when it has a Mahdi. A Mahdi has appeared at all times. It is only now that people do not want a Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi (as) has been awaited in all ages and minor Mahdis have emerged. They eliminated corruption and showed people the true path, by the light of the Qur'an.
97-He said, 'Go! In this world you will have to say, "Untouchable!" And you have an appointment which you will not fail to keep. Look at your god to which you devoted so much time. We will burn it up and then scatter it as dust into the sea.
The dust would have to be like ashes to be cast into the sea. The Prophet Moses (as) knows how to turn dust into gold. The Templars also knew that secret. That is the white dust they obtained with their research into manna. They cannot identify it by chemical analysis, however. It resembles no metal. Gold begins to turn into platinum at exceedingly high temperatures. It cannot be preserved as a very very fine powder. Manna can be preserved in water.

A BOOK about a Worcester World War Two veteran's time as a Japanese prisoner of war has been published in China.
Fred Seiker, of Raven Drive, St Peter's, has had his book, Let We Forget, translated into Mandarin and introduced to the country as a historical memoir and document at one of the biggest book events in the world - the Beijing International Book Fair.
The 98-year-old originally wrote the book telling of the horrors of being captured by the Japanese to work on the Thai-Burma railway in 1995, but after receiving a salute for his work from the Chinese ambassador Liu Xiaoming, Lest We Forget - Life As A Japanese Prisoner Of War has now received worldwide critical acclaim.
Mr Seiker said: "The publisher in Beijing asked me whether I would agree to do the book in Chinese and it was first published at the end of July.
"The excitement of the book in Chinese is well and truly underway and it is receiving acclaims which I never expected. At he time I did not realise the impact it would have on the Chinese - that I did not consider - but after I got the letter from the ambassador, I realised the historic significance."
Mr Xiaoming has condemned the Japanese primeminster Shinzo Abe for re-militarising the country and attempting to 'airbrush' the past, refusing to face up to Japan's actions during the war. Mr Seiker said the publishing of the book in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will help keep the actual events in the public eye not just in Britain and China, but also in the other 30 countries where the book has been sold via Amazon.
"This is not just my experience but that of my comrades," Mr Seiker said. "The Japanese are denying it all happened and they have changed the system to reflect that. The school children there are not learning about the war - apparently it never happened to them.
"The world knows about my book but we haven't a clue what the sale are going to be at the book fair and in China, but this huge publishing company (The People's Publishing House) in Beijing would not be doing what they are doing otherwise."
About 200,000 people from 56 countries are expected to see Mr Seiker's book at the Beijing International Fair, which started today.
And there's even talk of the book being made into a film.
"I never imagine it being a film - little me becoming world famous, not bad is it," Mr Seiker added.
Lest We Forget is available to buy on Amazon.co.uk in English and Mandarin.

OAKLAND, Pa. (AP) -- Someone opened fire Thursday afternoon at a psychiatric clinic outside Pittsburgh, injuring several people, police said.
Authorities did not say how many people were hit in the shooting at the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Oakland. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported at least five people were shot.

Duda Farm Fresh Foods Inc. is introducing holiday-themed packaging for celery.
The Oviedo, Fla.-based Duda, the fresh division of A. Duda & Sons Inc., is releasing a line of seasonal packaging that's designed to help spur impulse buys during critical holiday sales period, said Nichole Towell, director of marketing in Duda's Salinas, Calif., office.
The line features packs of 30-count celery stalks, 18-count celery hearts and 8-ounce celery sticks.
"We developed Celery Celebrations to offer consumers the celery products that they buy most often during the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Super Bowl — whole stalk celery, celery hearts and celery sticks," Towell said. "This winning combination of products will elevate the celery category by adding shelf appeal at the point of purchase and foster impulse buys."
Duda plans to ship Celery Celebrations to store shelves from Nov. 1 to Jan. 31, Towell said.

A YORK man has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a teenager suffered serious head injuries in a late-night incident in York city centre.
The 20-year old man, who has also been charged with resisting arrest, is due to appear before York Magistrates today.
North Yorkshire Police said an 18-year-old local man was injured and remained in hospital in a serious, but stable condition.
The incident happened at about 4.30am on Saturday on the pelican crossing in Nessgate, at the junction with Spurriergate.
It led to the road's closure for several hours while police launched an investigation, with buses sent on long diversions until just after 8am.
Police have said the force was called by the ambulance service, which said the man had been found lying injured in the road.
Officers have issued an urgent appeal for witnesses to come forward. Detective Chief Inspector Maria Taylor, who is leading the investigation, said: "If you witnessed the assault, I urge you to come forward and contact the police, if you have not already done so.
"I am also keen to speak to anyone who was in the Nessgate corner area around the time of the incident, who has any information which could help this investigation, and ask that they get in touch."
• Anyone who can assist should contact York CID on 101, select option 2 and ask for the department by name, or email information to email@example.com, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting reference number 12140124539.

An Artist's Odyssey In Africa (Hardcover)
de Nancy H. Strailey
Acerca del libro
Inspired by frequent trips to Africa, wildlife artist, Nancy H. Strailey, has chronicled many of her experiences in An Artist's Odyssey In Africa. Accompanied by her breath-taking colored pencil drawings on hand-made paper, the evocative text details not only her journey from inspiration to finished works of art, but also her transformation from curious traveler to dedicated conservationist and amateur naturalist.
Few artists have had the opportunity to so immerse themselves in their subjects. Tracking rhino on foot with an unarmed guide, traversing Eastern Botswana in the company of a veteran elephant researcher, exploring the ruins of an ancient iro-age civilization are but a few of the encounters which have provided Nancy Strailey with an intimate and unique view of this continent.
In this book, which is organized by habitat, she strives to provide, though her words and the glowing artwork, which accompanies them, a slice of life in each region which she visit. Nancy hopes to convey an understanding of the interconnectedness of it all, and of the sacred nature of her role in the age-old tradition of animal image making.

Acerca del creador
Award-winning African wildlife artist, Nancy H. Strailey, uses colored pencils on hand-made papers from around the world to create her unique and evocative drawings. In an on-going exploration of her place in a 300,000 year long continuum of animal and cultural image-makers, Nancy studies animals at sanctuaries and preserves, and, most recently through trips to Africa. The drawing process begins by gathering the materials - papers rich in natural color and interesting texture; pencils, lots of pencils, nearly every color of professional-quality pencil in every brand available, and graphite sketches of the animals and artifacts which Nancy has gleaned from her travels. Each drawing is designed in a series of planning sketches, which are then combined on the exotic paper the artist feels most suitable. Next careful, light layers of colored pencil are patiently overlaid to achieve the visual richness that is the hallmark of Nancy Strailey's coveted drawings.

Bing and members of his administration were at a church on the city's east side to address community concerns. However, Detroit police officers filled up most of the church seats, and things turned ugly, quickly.
"You lie. You lie," the crowd yelled.
One officer begged the question, "How can you expect for these officers to have your back, when you don't have their's?" Applause followed.
Under Detroit's consent agreement with the state of Michigan, Detroit police officers have seen their workload increase and their paychecks cut by 10 percent. They are fighting the mayor for compromise.
"We need more cars on the streets," one protestor said. "You're taking away ... you took everything."
The cuts the officers are enduring were made to help lift the city of Detroit out of a crippling financial crisis.
"I love this city and you are destroying it. Why don't you do us a favor and leave."
Bing said there was no way around the public safety cuts, but the union isn't buying it.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
I agree. It is very distrubing that so many people are dying every day
from diseases that can be prevented with education and money for
resources such as medicines and preventative tools such as condoms, bed
netting, clean water, etc. Our priorities as a wealthy, resourceful
country are not acceptable. We do not seem to care about the
misfortunes of people in poor countries because we are focused on what
we believe is our own path to survival and happiness (keeping our
standard of living).
I guess that is human nature. However, we need to have compassion for
those that are less fortunate than us and are suffering at the expense
of microbes. It is unbelievable that such tiny organisms can defeat the
human body. I believe that the majority of the population of the United
States is not aware of the actual number of people that are dying
everyday from diseases such as AIDS and malaria. Accordingly, we as
teachers have an obligation to inform our students about the
consequences of such deadly diseases and what we can do to help both
prevent the spread of disease and help find cures for emerging and
re-emerging diseases.

Subject: Re: [Channel-talkbio] Unit 6 HIV and AIDS
Dear Karen,
This unit on HIV has been the most interesting and most disturbing
unit for me thus far. As of 2003, more than 65 million people were
infected with HIV worldwide and of those more than 25 million were in
sub-Saharan Africa alone. This is totally unacceptable. We know how
HIV infects cells. We know how to prevent the spread of HIV. What we
are lacking in is a global effort to stop the spread of this disease.
Since new infections have gone down in the U.S., I think there is a
sense of complacency that the epidemic is under control here and that it
is not a top priority anymore. With the war in Iraq and other issues
like global warming all over the news, we are forgetting that more than
8,000 people die each day from AIDS. I think we need to pressure our
government, particularly on a national level to do more to educate and
provide resources to developing countries, particularly in Africa.
There are simple behavior modifications that could easily be undertaken
and that would turn the tide against this disease. If Africans, the
women in particular, are empowered to protect their health and the
health of their children, then they will be better able to deal with
political issues, build infrastructure, and strengthen the economy
because health care issues will not be such a problem.
Simple steps such as the distribution of condoms and microbicidal
jellies and education about abstinence and not having multiple sex
partners would go al ong way in preventing the spread of HIV. Even just
getting groups like the Peace Corps safely into many of the countries
and allowing the volunteers to teach safe and healthy practices would do
a lot of good. The United States as a global leader should do more to
enhance this initiative. If we are concerned about the freedom and
democracy of all people across the globe, then we must first consider
their health. Freedom will do nothing for them if they are not around
to enjoy it.
In addition, I do not think that it is ethical to do clinical
trials on people in developing countries unless they are highly educated
as to the potential risks and benefits. For example, it does not seem
right that a person with HIV could be in a placebo group and receive no
treatment to prevent the onset of illness unless that person is
completely aware that he/she may receive no real drugs and end up dying
as a result. Even one life is a high price to pay for the advancement
of medical research. What do you think?
What is your opinion on the matter?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/10/2012 (1761 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will head into Hamilton for a must-win game against the Tiger-Cats on Saturday with a new defensive line that will include a raw rookie and a converted defensive tackle platooning at one end position.
With both of Winnipeg's starting defensive ends now out of the lineup with injuries -- Alex Hall is out for the season with a knee injury and Jason Vega is out for at least this week with a toe injury -- the Bombers held their final full practice of the week at Canad Inns Stadium on Thursday with Bryant Turner and Youri Yenga platooning at one end position.
Non-import Fernand Kashama continued at practice to play the other end position, where Kashama has rotated all season but has played a bigger role in recent weeks as the club has struggled with ratio issues caused by injuries elsewhere in the lineup.
Turner played defensive end in high school and college but he has only ever played as a defensive tackle in his CFL career. Yenga, meanwhile, is a raw rookie who has seen just two weeks of actual action this season and none since Week 5.
That's hardly an ideal situation for a Winnipeg team that must win in Hamilton in a game that will see the loser eliminated from playoff contention, but it's where the Bombers find themselves as they prepare to travel to Hamilton on Friday in advance of Saturday afternoon's critical contest.
Turner missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but sounded as if he were not going to be denied the chance to play in this week's critical game.
"I've been pestering at the coaches to get back on the field," said Turner, who doesn't think the shift from tackle to end will pose significant problems for him.
"It was kind of my natural position in college and high school, so I'm looking forward to getting back out there," said Turner.
The other major positional change on defence this week will see Johnny Sears take over at strong-side linebacker after Demond Washington, who had the job for just one game, was injured in practice earlier this week.
Sears, who will be replaced at cornerback in the starting lineup by Brandon Stewart, said he's looking forward to doing a lot more hitting from the linebacker position.
"I welcome it," said Sears. "I don't mind (the physical contact) at all. I've just got to be the hammer and not the nail."
Sears is the fifth SAM linebacker the Bombers have auditioned this season since cutting former SAM Clint Kent at the end of training camp and head coach Tim Burke was asked Thursday afternoon if he now regretted the decision to cut Kent.
Burke said the decision to release Kent after training camp was made by the whole coaching staff, but he said he didn't disagree with the decision at the time and it doesn't sound like he does now either.
"You make decisions and you have to live with them," said Burke. "Clint's been a part-time starter for Edmonton too."
Kent was signed by the Eskimos soon after his release by Winnipeg but he's been injured at times and has not been a regular starter with the Eskimos this season.

text: Sam Kazuko (Janella Salvador), is an aspiring Pinay singer who grows up in Japan. A hopeless romantic, she believes in the concept of Red String of Fate, which says that an invisible string connects two destined people and are set to meet each other wherever they are in the world. On the other hand, Kevin Sebastian (Elmo Magalona), a popular teen heartthrob and son of OPM icon Mike Sebastian (Ariel Rivera), who popularized the song "Born for You," doubts the authenticity of love and destiny because of the complicated relationship of his parents. Their love for music will bring Sam and Kevin together, but it might also be the reason for their budding romance to be cut off. Sam's father, Buddy (Bernard Palanca), composed the song "Born for You" for her mother Cathy (Vina Morales). But Marge (Ayen Laurel), the daughter of the country's richest record label owner, stole the song and gave it to Mike in hopes of winning the male singer's heart. Everything eventually happened according to Marge's plans as she got married to Mike and gave birth to Kevin. While they were living a happy life, Buddy's family was suffering because of his sudden death, which prompted Cathy to work in Japan to provide for Sam. What fate awaits Sam and Kevin? How will their parents' past affect their destiny? Will the string that connects them be broken?

Product Details
Perfect for traveling to adventures far and near, this versatile overnighter is crafted in rugged cotton canvas and finished with an interior pocket for keeping treasures safe.
Size & Fit Details
Kids' canvas overnight bag
Kids' canvas overnight bag is rated out of 5 by 15.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maggie from Great bag for kids and adults I've had a version of this bag for years and years. Bought this new one as a refresh. It's great quality and a good size for a quick weekend trip. Big enough to fit my baby's and my clothes/accessories. Can't recommend enough.
Date published: 2017-04-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by sweety from The Perfect Overnight Bag This is the well-made canvas duffle bag that is perfectly suited for a young boy. There is enough room to pack pajamas and clothes for a couple of days. I love that the navy material is on the bottom, as the bag will not show the dirt as quickly that way. The only improvement would be if the handles were made with leather instead of canvas, as I anticipate they will soil quite quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MomOf2 from Wonderful Bag My Nieces absolutely love this bag! It is big enough to carry a few outfits and over night necessities, but small enough for them to be able to manage it on their own (age 3). I love the fact that it is canvas and easy to clean! Planning on ordering one for my son and nephew as well!
Date published: 2015-06-05
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rosie from A sweet overnight bag I bought this to use on a weekend trip to a friend's holiday house -- I wanted something small enough to fit maybe 2 days worth of clothes, but that wouldn't look like I planned to stay a month, like a lot of adult overnight bags do. This product is definitely the right size for one or two days' worth of stuff, tops. The only thing I would note is that it really is designed for children. I find the shoulder strap really just a bit short, although to be fair, it's not designed to be carried by an adult woman. That being said, it's really well made and sturdy, and it was hard to pick between the pink and the blue!

If you don't know by now, the digital teams for Cooking Channel, Food Network, and Food.com love a good inter-office cooking (or baking!) competition. In honor of Food Network's new Cupcakes! app, we decided to show off our skills in a cupcake showdown. Thanks to the amazing spread (pictured above) we soon lulled into afternoon sugar comas, but not before we snapped a few photos and jotted down the easy recipes to share with you.
Deb (with help from her precocious 8-year-old neighbor) whipped up Ellie Krieger's Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Full of applesauce, carrots and whole-wheat pastry flour, these healthy cupcakes (which are featured in the Cupcake! app) tasted anything but.
Ashley ambitiously tackled two cupcakes. The first were these Chocolate Stout Cupcakes peppered with distinct notes of chocolate and coffee.
Michelle's Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting came in second place. The whipped peanut butter frosting tasted just like the real thing, and we gladly could have eaten it all by itself.
Perfect for a summer cookout, Alison made Orange Cream Dream Cupcakes that came with a surprise marshmallow fluff filling.
Alexis' winning coconut cupcakes stole the show with a coconut base, coconut buttercream and toasted coconut topping.
These s'mores cupcakes, made by Rhonda, tasted as if they'd really been toasted over an open fire. With a graham cracker crust, chocolate filling and sweet marshmallow topper, it was hard to eat just one.
Ashley's second cupcake entry were Chuck Hughes' Red Velvet Cupcakes with a simple cream cheese frosting.
It was difficult to pick just one cupcake to win, but in the end, Alexis' coconut creation took the cake. But the real winners of the day? The judges who got to sample a little of each.
Go Cupcake Crazy:
- Cupcakes with Piped Flowers
- Nadia G.'s Tiramisu Cupcakes
- Giadia's Chocolate Chip and Mascarpone Cupcakes
- More Cupcake Inspiration
Tell us: If you could dream up the perfect cupcake combination, what would it be?

PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Steelers have taken running back Le'Veon Bell in the second round of the NFL draft.
The 6-foot-1, 244-pound Bell ran for 3,346 yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons with the Spartans and caught 78 passes for 531 yards. The Steelers are looking to replace Rashard Mendenhall, who signed a free agent contract with Arizona last month.
Bell is the highest running back taken by the Steelers since they took Mendenhall in the first round in 2008. Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley says Bell's size and versatility makes him a good fit.
Bell ran for 1,793 yards last season, the second-highest total in school history and was a first team All-Big Ten selection. He will compete with Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer for the starting job in Pittsburgh.

>Running 101>Advice on Fartlek please?
Runners run.
My .02 is that fartleks should be a bit more relaxed than an interval session. You should finish feeling more energized than exhausted. Usually the first few tries you end up going too fast on your pickups and wind up suffering a bit at the end. It takes practice, but it's good training for regulating your pace by feel versus needing external cues such as mile or km splits to know if you're going too fast.

One of our recent Triple Time creations is a fun little project called Quizpoint - a quiz site for web geeks.
In order to keep the site entertaining and challenging, we need as many questions as we can source, which is where you guys come in.
We're looking for JavaScript, Ruby and WordPress questions of all difficulty levels. If you can think of any, post them in this thread, along with the answer and we'll put them up on the site.
While you're at it, check Quizpoint out and see just how smart you are!
This is a fun idea! I've already tried a quiz, and it was fun.
Here's a simple JS one:
When linking to a script, which of these is the best option for the type attribute?
These days, you don't need it at all
Answer: These days, you don't need it at all
Another JS one:
Which of these is NOT a valid comment in JavaScript:
// This is a comment.
/* This is a comment. */
/* This is a comment.
<!-- This is a comment.
/* This is a comment
Another JS question:
Which statement best explains what "unobtrusive JavaScript" is?
JavaScript that doesn't annoy users
JavaScript that is separate from HTML
JavaScript that does not affect a web page
JavaScript that works even with scripting turned off
Answer: JavaScript that is separate from HTML
Another JS one (might need to be checked/re-phrased by a JS expert, though, like those above):
Given an element assigned to a variable "child", which of the following could be used as part of a script to remove the padding on the child's parent element?
child[i].parentNode.style.padding = "0";
child.parentNode.style.padding = "0";
child[i].parentNode.padding = "0";
child.parentNode.style.padding = none;
Answer: child[i].parentNode.style.padding = "0";
(Comment: You can't use child.parentNode since the child element will be a NodeList, not a single Node—even if there is only one such child element in the document.)
[B]How will the following code be output?
var text = "Statement oneStatement twoStatement three";console.log(text);[/B]
Uncaught Syntax Error: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
Statement oneStatement twoStatement three
Statement one Statement two Statement three
Answer: Uncaught Syntax Error: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
Explanation: You cannot create a string that spans multiple lines in JavaScript.
JS question:
var hello = "Hi There!";var test = hello.indexOf("there");console.log(test);[/B]
Answer: -1
If this code were run, what value would be output for the variable "name"?var name;
Answer: undefined
Huh, learned something new. I wondered where MS got that syntax from for their CC's.
Re #7:
var test = hello.indexOf("there");
This is one of those questions where you'd have to be aware of the people you're sending it to. IndexOf isn't built into IE and developers who build for the practical web either don't use it, have built their own (or used Mozilla's), or would wonder if the expected answer assumes all relevant interpreters can read that and the issue is the capitalisation.
These are some good Javascript questions, but I dunno where you'll get the Ruby ones.
Sigh ... wouldn't ya know? :rolleyes: (I'm just learning about it.) [/ot]
Found a question with an incorrect answer. It was about the nth-child selector, with 3n+1. It claimed the answer was 'The first row, then every fourth row' which is wrong. 'Every third row' is the most accurate there, but it said that was incorrect.
Slightly off topic - but what did you use to build Quizpoint? Did you base it on any CMS or build it in house completely?
The site doesn't function without JavaScript. You just see a nice "loading..." text and even the site feedback won't work without JavaScript so I'll give the feedback here instead.
This probably depends on how you get the contents of "child" - if we take the question literally then child.parentNode would be acceptable to access it because "child" is an element. For example document.getElementById() and document.querySelector() return references to an element rather than a node list. An example snippet might be helpful to qualify the question:
var child = document.getElementById("content").children;
It's only .indexOf() on Arrays that isn't present in < IE9. (.indexOf() on strings has been part of the language spec for a lot longer and should be present in older Internet Explorers :))
Regarding the type= question for JavaScript perhaps a better one would be to ask what the standard specifies is the correct type to use when you do specify it.
I suspect someone is getting var child; and document.getElementById('something').child mixed up - the latter is a nodelist but the first is just a variable that can have any value assigned to it. One example of where using variable names that match the names of DOM elewments can make things confusing.
[ot]Thanks, guys. My questions are just based on my noobie explorations into JS, so if they are wrong or faulty, please just rewrite them properly (and I'll remove mine) or suggest that they be deleted if they are not worth saving. You are the guys who should be writing these.
Maybe @Pullo and @markbrown4 can come up with some Ruby questions.[/ot]
Hi Stormrider,Nice find, seems someones made a typo.
All fixed up!
Thanks for your time
Hi xhtmlcoder,Yes at the moment the site will only work with javascript, still in early stages of development
Thanks for you time
Hi masm50, All questions are welcome, trying to make as much of a fun learning experience as possible No, quizpoint isn't based on any CMS's its completely built in house, using backbone.js
Thanks for your time, and using Quizpoint.com

The Undergraduate bulletin documents the official admission and academic rules and regulations that govern education in the undergraduate degree programs at VCU. In-depth descriptions of each undergraduate degree program are provided in the individual school and program sections of this bulletin, available in PDF format. The bulletin archives contain the PDFs that serve as effective bulletins for enrolled students.
The bulletin for the academic year a student enters or re-enters a degree program identifies the curriculum degree requirements for that student. Students in continuous enrollment may fulfill the curriculum degree requirements of the bulletin for the year they entered VCU or choose to be subject to the curriculum degree requirements articulated in a subsequent bulletin. Subsequent bulletins can be chosen throughout a student's academic career. In either case, students must fulfill all curriculum degree requirements listed in the bulletin they choose.
A student's effective bulletin will remain in effect until the degree is awarded. Change in academic program (major, concentration, minor) will not result in a change in effective bulletin unless the student chooses to be subject to the curriculum degree requirements articulated in a subsequent bulletin.
Students readmitted to the university will fall under the bulletin in effect at the time of readmission. At the discretion of the school dean, department chair or program head, degree requirements may be waived and/or previously taken courses may be substituted for requirements in effect at the time of readmission.
The contents of this bulletin represent the most current information available at the time of publication. However, during the period of time covered by this bulletin, it is reasonable to expect changes to be made with respect to this information without prior notice. Thus, the provisions of this bulletin are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the university (or any of its divisions) and the student.
All rules and regulations set forth in this bulletin will apply until further notice. The university reserves the right to make changes including, but not limited to, changes in courses of study, fees, rules, regulations, programs, faculty and staff, and classification of students, whenever university authorities, in their sole discretion, deem it appropriate, expedient or wise to do so.
