Slowly But Surely…
We are in Des Moines!
Travel is going slower than expected. We had our second flat tire on the trailer on a mountain pass about 30 miles before getting to Denver last night. Hubby and the boys changed it in the dusky twilight and we drove on the spare to Denver where we bought another tire. We ate a quick supper and hopped back on the interstate. Ended up driving in shifts and then finally sleeping for a few hours in a rest area and then I drove us out of Colorado and across Nebraska til the gas station we are filling up at as I write this. Hubby is taking the next driving shift and hopefully that will end us up at home. We're about five hours out now.
On the trojan front…My system is still limping along. I haven't been able to solve anything with my dial up connection on the road. Figuring out how to clean out my computer will be one of my first priorities when we are home and unpacked.

Some time in summer 2012Jan. 16th, 2014 09:00 am
|It's that time again, January 16th - my little LJ's birthday. Happy 11th birthday, LJ! If you were a human you'd be almost done with middle school.
It just so happened that I recently visited the Reina Sofia museum's exhibit called "Bibliographical forms" that looks a bit on the whole idea of how a person represents themselves for others to see and tries to somehow write their autobiography, which turns into a mythical biography. It made me think a bit about what I actually write on here and why... I'd love to say that it's for myself but that's not really true. Since my posts are public, I do tend to create this mythical story about things happening in my life and there is a bit of lying going on, especially by omission.

Port Charlotte Ribbon is Cut
The new Port Charlotte recycling facility will provide a new green earth solution that minimizes both the negative impact to the environment from continued land application of brown grease, and the significant costs to food service establishments, liquid waste haulers, and wastewater treatment plants dealing with this troublesome waste. The production equipment that will be capable of recycling more than 10 million gallons of brown grease, creating over 200,000 gallons of liquid feedstock and over 750 tons of viable organic compounds, as well as reclaim over 9 million gallons of nutrient rich water.
ABF plans to expand to other markets in Florida to include Tampa, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. In addition, ABF is looking at target locations in the southeast USA for expansion in 2013. All the bio feedstock (brown grease) recovered from the ABF operations is going back into the US energy markets to be used as biodiesel, renewable diesel or home heating oil. ABF is taking a waste stream and converting it to usable products that are needed in the economy.
Local news
WINK News in Port Charlotte, Florida has a story about Affordable Bio Feedstock.
Here is an excerpt: PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- Affordable Bio Feedstock Inc. (ABF) and Charlotte County Utilities celebrated the Grand Opening of ABF's new grease recycling facility on Wednesday at the Charlotte County East Port Water Reclamation Facility.

The Strand Gallery is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition 'Constraints: Printmaking of Lei Cheng' opening this week.
Born in Macao, Cheng felt constrained from the tight relationships between its residents and found expression and outlet in art. Lines and colours become the embodiment of Cheng's emotions and the means of articulating his thoughts and beliefs. His work is mainly concerned with the relationship of form and content within art. Cheng perceives this relationship as a personal challenge that each artist embarks on in order to find the right balance that represents him or her best.
In this exhibition Lei Cheng unfolds the story of his creative process of printmaking inviting us to share in the emotions that were once constrained but are now underlined in the various shades of ink. 'Constraints: Printmaking of Lei Cheng' will be on display at the Strand Gallery from the 2nd – 8th December, 11am-6pm.

Measurement Science and Technology | Year: 2017
Three-dimensional (3D) particle image velocimetry (PIV) and particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) provide the most comprehensive flow information for unraveling the physical phenomena in a wide range of fluid problems, from microfluidics to wall-bounded turbulent flows. Compared with other 3D PIV techniques, such as tomographic PIV and defocusing PIV, the digital inline holographic PTV (DIH-PTV) provides 3D flow measurement solution with high spatial resolution, low cost optical setup, and easy alignment and calibration. Despite these advantages, DIH-PTV suffers from major limitations including poor longitudinal resolution, human intervention (i.e. requirement for manually determined tuning parameters during tracer field reconstruction and extraction), limited tracer concentration, small sampling volume and expensive computations, limiting its broad use for 3D flow measurements. In this study, we present our latest developments on minimizing these challenges, which enables high-fidelity DIH-PTV implementation to larger sampling volumes with significantly higher particle seeding densities suitable for wall-bounded turbulent flow measurements. The improvements include: (1) adjustable window thresholding; (2) multi-pass 3D tracking; (3) automatic wall localization; and (4) continuity-based out-of-plane velocity component computation. The accuracy of the proposed DIH-PTV method is validated with conventional 2D PIV and double-view holographic PTV measurements in smooth-wall turbulent channel flow experiments. The capability of the technique in characterization of wall-bounded turbulence is further demonstrated through its application to flow measurements for smooth- and rough-wall turbulent channel flows. In these experiments, 3D velocity fields are measured within sampling volumes of 14.7 × 50.0 × 14.4 mm3 (covering the entire depth of the channel) with a velocity resolution of <1.1 mm/vector. Overall, the presented DIH-PTV method and measurements highlight the applicability of DIH-PTV to obtain 3D characterization of the turbulent structures with velocity spatial resolution and within sampling volume sizes comparable to other the-state-of-the-art 3D whole-field flow measurement techniques. © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Background-: The use of cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells as cellular therapy for myocardial injury has yet to be examined in a large-animal model. Methods and Results-: Immunosuppressed Yorkshire pigs were assigned to 1 of 3 groups: A myocardial infarction group (MI group; distal left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and reperfusion; n=13); a cell-treatment group (MI with 4×10 vascular cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells administered via a fibrin patch; n=14); and a normal group (n=15). At 4 weeks, left ventricular structural and functional abnormalities were less pronounced in hearts in the cell-treated group than in MI hearts (P<0.05), and these improvements were accompanied by declines in scar size (10.4±1.6% versus 8.3±1.1%, MI versus cell-treatment group, P<0.05). The cell-treated group displayed a significant increase in vascular density and blood flow (0.83±0.11 and 1.05±0.13 mL·min·g, MI versus cell-treatment group, P<0.05) in the periscar border zone (BZ), which was accompanied by improvements in systolic thickening fractions (infarct zone,-10±7% versus 5±5%; BZ, 7±4% versus 23±6%; P<0.05). Transplantation of vascular cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells stimulated c-kit cell recruitment to BZ and the rate of bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in both c-kit cells and cardiomyocytes (P<0.05). Using a magnetic resonance spectroscopic saturation transfer technique, we found that the rate of ATP hydrolysis in BZ of MI hearts was severely reduced, and the severity of this reduction was linearly related to the severity of the elevations of wall stresses (r=0.82, P<0.05). This decline in BZ ATP utilization was markedly attenuated in the cell-treatment group. Conclusions-: Transplantation of vascular cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells mobilized endogenous progenitor cells into the BZ, attenuated regional wall stress, stimulated neovascularization, and improved BZ perfusion, which in turn resulted in marked increases in BZ contractile function and ATP turnover rate. © 2013 American Heart Association, Inc.

Schizophrenia Bulletin | Year: 2011
Background: Emerging evidence implicates white matter (WM) abnormalities in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in the presentation of WM abnormalities in the existing studies. The object of this study was to evaluate WM integrity in a large sample of patients with first-episode (FE) and chronic schizophrenia in comparison to matched control groups. Our goal was to assess whether WM findings occurred early in the illness or whether these abnormalities developed with the illness over time. Methods: Participants included 114 patients with schizophrenia (31 FE and 83 chronic patients) and 138 matched controls. High-resolution structural and diffusion tensor images were obtained on all participants. Measures of fractional anisotropy (FA) were calculated for the 4 cortical lobes and the cerebellum and brain stem. Results: FA was significant lower in patients vs controls in the whole brain and individually in the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. FA was not significantly different in the brain stem or cerebellum. FA differences were significant only in patients with chronic schizophrenia and not in the FE group. Conclusions: We found global differences in the WM microstructure in patients with chronic but not FE schizophrenia. These findings suggest progressive alterations in WM microstructure. © 2010 The Author.

Purpose: To assess the feasibility of using fat-fraction imaging for measuring marrow composition changes over large regions in patients undergoing cancer therapy. Materials and Methods: Thirteen women with gynecologic malignancies who were to receive radiation and/or chemotherapy were recruited for this study. Subjects were imaged on a 3T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner at baseline (after surgery but before radiation or chemotherapy), 6 months, and 12 months after treatment. Water-fat imaging was used to generate high-resolution, 3D signal fat fraction (sFF) maps extending from mid-femur to L3. Treatment changes were assessed by measuring marrow sFF in the L4 vertebra, femoral necks, and control tissues. Results: Pretreatment and 6-month scans were compared in nine women. sFF increased significantly in both the L4 vertebral marrow (P = 0.04) and the femoral necks (P = 0.03), while no significant change was observed in control regions. Qualitatively, chemotherapy changes were more uniform in space, whereas the radiation-induced changes were largest in marrow regions inside and close to the target radiation field. Conclusion: Water-fat MRI is sensitive to changes in red/yellow marrow composition, and can be used for quantitative and qualitative assessment of treatment-induced marrow damage. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rationale: 31P magnetization saturation transfer (MST) experiment is the most widely used method to study ATP metabolism kinetics. However, its lengthy data acquisition time greatly limits the wide biomedical applications in vivo, especially for studies requiring high spatial and temporal resolutions. Objective: We aimed to develop a novel superfast MST method that can accurately quantify ATP production rate constants (kf) through creatine kinase (CK) or ATP synthase (ATPase) with 2 spectra. Methods and Results: The T1nom (T1 nominal) method uses a correction factor to compensate the partially relaxed MST experiments, thus allowing measurement of enzyme kinetics with an arbitrary repetition time and flip angle, which consequently reduces the data acquisition time of a transmurally differentiated CK kf measurement by 91% as compared with the conventional method with spatial localization. The novel T1 method is validated theoretically with numeric simulation, and further verified with in vivo swine hearts, as well as CK and ATPase activities in rat brain at 9.4 Tesla. Importantly, the in vivo data from swine hearts demonstrate, for the first time, that within an observation window of 30 minutes, the inhibition of CK activity by iodoacetamide does not limit left ventricular chamber contractile function. Conclusions: A novel MST method for superfast examination of enzyme kinetics in vivo has been developed and verified theoretically and experimentally. In the in vivo normal heart, redundant multiple supporting systems of myocardial ATP production, transportation, and utilization exist, such that inhibition of one mechanism does not impair the normal left ventricular contractile performance. © 2011 American Heart Association.

The orientation distribution function (ODF) can be reconstructed online incrementally from diffusion-weighted MRI with a Kalman filtering framework. This online reconstruction can provide real-time feedback to the practitioner, especially appreciated for long acquisition protocols typical in Q-ball imaging. On top of the Kalman filter, we propose a method to evaluate online the reconstruction accuracy of the estimated ODF in constant solid angle. In addition, monitoring the residuals of the Kalman filter, we design, based on statistical tests, two algorithms for online detection of subject motion. The proposed techniques, tested on real and synthetic data under various experimental conditions, can detect rotation by angle less than 3. © 2011 IEEE.

Temporal and spatial variations in bone marrow adipose tissue (MAT) can be indicative of several pathologies and confound current methods of assessing immediate changes in bone mineral remodeling. We present a novel dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) method to monitor MAT and marrow-corrected volumetric BMD (mcvBMD) throughout the body. Twenty-three cancellous skeletal sites in 20 adult female cadavers aged 40-80years old were measured using DECT (80 and 140kVp). vBMD was simultaneous recorded using QCT. MAT was further sampled using MRI. Thirteen lumbar vertebrae were then excised from the MRI-imaged donors and examined by microCT. After MAT correction throughout the skeleton, significant differences (p<0.05) were found between QCT-derived vBMD and DECT-derived mcvBMD results. McvBMD was highly heterogeneous with a maximum at the posterior skull and minimum in the proximal humerus (574 and 0.7mg/cc, respectively). BV/TV and BMC have a nearly significant correlation with mcvBMD (r=0.545, p=0.057 and r=0.539, p=0.061, respectively). MAT assessed by DECT showed a significant correlation with MRI MAT results (r=0.881, p<0.0001). Both DECT- and MRI-derived MAT had a significant influence on uncorrected vBMD (r=-0.86 and r=-0.818, p0.0001, respectively). Conversely, mcvBMD had no correlation with DECT- or MRI-derived MAT (r=0.261 and r=0.067). DECT can be used to assess MAT while simultaneously collecting mcvBMD values at each skeletal site. MAT is heterogeneous throughout the skeleton, highly variable, and should be accounted for in longitudinal mcvBMD studies. McvBMD accurately reflects the calcified tissue in cancellous bone.

To present a practical scheme of a simultaneous radiofrequency (RF) transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) (STAR) system for MRI, discuss the challenges and solutions, and show preliminary in vivo MR images obtained with this new technique.A remotely controlled STAR system was built and tested with a transverse electromagnetic head coil on a 4T (Oxford, 90cm-bore) MRI scanner equipped with an Agilent DirectDrive console (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). In vivo head images have been acquired using continuous sweep excitation and acquisition.The bench test and MR experimental results show our STAR system to have high isolation (60 dB) between Tx and Rx, with insensitivity to load swings created by head motion. To acquire in vivo head images, ultralow RF peak power of 50 mW was used.A novel motion-insensitive STAR MRI technique was developed and experimentally tested.

We have made it to that time of the year where Miami's streets are bustling with tourists – tourists that drive worse than Miamians, if you can even believe that. Anyways I am sure as soon as they get here and started listening to our conversations they feel like they have landed in another country. That is because in Miami we have our own dialect.
I decided to compile a list of the most used Miami slang for those tourists who want to learn a thing or two before they get to Miami, and for those Miamians that our looking for something to relate to. Dale.
1. Bro is a word that is used to address someone and is pretty much used on a daily basis in the MIA. Whether you are calling out your best homeboy, or simply your mother, we use it all the same.
2. Cafecito is definitely one of the top five most important words in the Miami dialect. When 4 o' clock rolls around you are praying your co-worker stops by and says, "Cafecito time!" You will never see people run faster to the kitchen.
3. Casa de carajo has simply replaced BFE (butt-f*** Egypt), meaning really frickin' far.
4. Chonga's are where it's at. If you are wearing hoop earrings, you used a ton of gel to get your hair into a tight ponytail, you are wearing lip liner, and you have your name on a gold necklace then my friend you are a chonga.
5. Dale is probably one of the most used words. Right after Pitbull coined it everyone decided it was cool. It simply means, "do it" or "let's go."
6. Eating shit is by far my favorite phrase. A friend will ask me, "Hey, what are you up to?" And I simply respond, "Not much, just eating shit." But, wait are you literally eating shit? No! It just means you aren't doing anything of importance.
7. Being a pata sucia is not ok. It is never ok to walk around a public place without shoes. Ever.
I am hoping you learned a thing or three about Miami dialect. I am glad I could be of service. Bueno bro, hablamos.

Voter ProtectionThe League of Women Voters of New Jersey works to protect voters statewide.
Voter Protection Project
For many years, the League of Women Voters of New Jersey and the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey have partnered to protect the rights of New Jersey voters. This "Voter Protection Project" work has included placing poll monitors outside of polling places to distribute voting rights information, positioning lawyers in courthouses to defend voters, and staffing our voter hotline, 1-800-792-VOTE (8683), all day while the polls are open to answer questions and record complaints. Data obtained from our work is used to create a report which highlights the most common problems reported during that election and recommendations to rectify them. The League and ACLU use these reports to work with New Jersey election officials to improve New Jersey elections.
Voting Rights for Parolees and Probationers
League position: The League of Women Voters of New Jersey supports restoring voting rights to all parolees and probationers who are U.S. citizens. These individuals are entitled to the full rights of citizenship with regard to voting. The League also thinks that allowing parolees to vote upon their release from prison can be helpful in achieving society's goal of integrating parolees into society and reducing recidivism. We also think that allowing those on probation to vote while serving their probation helps keep them connected to their communities and less likely to offend again.
Opposition to ID requirements
The League of Women Voters supports full voting participation by all eligible American citizens and opposes efforts to create new barriers that block citizen voter participation.

"I Confess" is an unofficial addendum to Cemetery Confessions and is hosted by Mark (aka DJ Gomez), the co-host of CC and resident DJ on The Belfry Network. Spanning only 5-10 minutes (give or take) per episode, this mini-podcast is great for those with busy schedules and/or short attention spans.
Raw, unscripted, and unrehearsed, Mark gives his thoughts on topics related to the current state of the goth scene as well as his random observations on people, culture, religion, politics, and anything else in his mind.
This month DJ Gomez returns to his soapbox to take on the Calgary Police, and their claims that rock music can lead teens into hate groups.
DJ Gomez is back to talk about community, goth clubs as safe places, and the influence of politics in the culture.
The inagural episode of a brand new, short form goth talk podcast!

Financial Leverage, Eps and Profit Margin Essay
Financial Leverage, Eps and Profit Margin
Profits might be compared with sales, assets, or stockholders' equity. Why might all three bases be used? Will trends in these ratios always move in the same direction?
All the three bases are used to find the return earned with respective to sales as well as investment made. When the profit is compared with sales, it is called as the net profit margin. When the profit is compared with assets, it is called as return earned on total investment and when profit is compared with stockholders' equity, it is called as return on equity. All these are profitability ratios and help to analyze the profitability at a particular period with respect to various bases. The trend in these ratios may not always move in the same direction. For example, return on assets may increase from one period to another, but not necessarily the return on equity. A cause for this may be due to change in capital structure and mix of debt and equity.
Would you expect the profit margin in a quality jewelry store to differ from that of a grocery store? Comment.
Yes. The profit margin in a quality jewelry store may differ from that of a grocery store. A jewelry store's profit margin would be much higher than of a grocery store. A grocery store will have a lower profit margin with respect to sales and earns its profits by selling more volume. But in the case of a jewelry store, the profit margin earned on each unit would be higher.
Give a simple definition of earnings per share. Earnings per share can be defined as the earnings available to equity shareholders after the payment of preferred dividends, if any, with respect to one share. It is calculated as net income available to equity shareholders divided by the number of outstanding equity shares.
Define financial leverage. What is its effect on earnings? When is the use of financial leverage advantageous and disadvantageous? The extent to which a firm uses fixed income securities can be termed as a financial leverage. The fixed income securities include bonds and debentures. The effect on earnings includes reduction of profits due to payment of fixed interest on these securities. The use of financial leverage is advantageous especially when the leverage is at the optimum level. At this level, the existence of leverage maximizes the earnings per share of the equity holders. This is because all the excess profits after the payment of interest go to the equity holders. The use of financial leverage is disadvantageous when it exceeds the optimal level. When the leverage is too high, it increases the risk of the company as well as the cost of capital. This also reduces the long term solvency of the business.

TF1 Studio, the vertically integrated film banner launched by France's top commercial network, has signed distribution and marketing agreements with Paramount and Mars Distribution.
Under the agreements, Paramount and Mars will handle theatrical distribution of TF1 Studio movies, the company's co-deputy CEO Tristan du Laz told Variety. Paramount will handle most English-language titles, such as Michael Apted's "Unlocked" (pictured); Mars will roll out TF1 Studio's French films and festival-friendly movies, such as Julien Leclercq's upcoming biopic "Prost."
TF1 Studio will cover P&A expenses while Mars and Paramount will handle theater booking and orchestrate the marketing strategy. "These partners are highly complementary, and we've been together for a while on an ad hoc basis," said du Laz, who joined TF1 from Studiocanal and now works with fellow co-deputy CEO Nathalie Toulza-Madar.
TF1 Studio previously had a deal with Ugc that covered French distribution. Since »

Lincolnshire firm demonstrates 84ft-long 'super-lorry'
A Lincolnshire road haulage company has demonstrated an 84ft (25m) long "super lorry" to industry experts.
The vehicle is currently illegal on UK roads, where lorries are restricted to 54 ft (16.5m), but are used in parts of Europe.
Denby Transport claim its introduction could cut pollution and congestion on Britain's roads.

Here's a form of white supremacy: the belief that God is white. Holding that belief does not necessarily make you a supporter of neo-Nazism and white terrorism but you should know that it does make you a white supremacist. Sorry if that offends. [Read more…]
The problem of God's whiteness
Four queer folk
I no longer go very often to the LDS church. This post partially explains why.
One: J
When I was dating the woman who would become my wife, she struggled to tell me something. It took her a while before she eventually said, "my brother J is gay." I wasn't bothered at all but Rebecca was scared it would scupper our relationship. After all, if her brother was gay, the idea that I — a Returned Missionary — might contemplate marrying a woman from anything less than the perfect Mormon family was in danger. It seems silly now but that's what she thought. I'm not sure why it didn't bother me. I am no font of tolerance and charity . . . I just didn't care. Plenty of other Mormons don't either but she had this idea from somewhere, I suppose. Perhaps it was from some of the people in our branch whose virulent homophobia was on display in Sunday school? And where did that come from? At the time, I would have absolved the church. Bigots are everywhere, I thought. It's not the church's fault. [Read more…]
I take refuge in the Sangha
At 3pm today, think of the tearing of the temple's veil. This is the apex of everything.
I take refuge in the Dharma
Standing orders in Jerusalem — given by Pilate and understood and supported by Caiaphas — required the immediate arrest of troublemakers at Passover. If we want to understand Jesus' execution, then, we must pay attention to what Jesus did at the temple. His was a total and visceral rejection of the high Jewish theocratic order, whose high priest had been appointed by Rome.
You see it with the fig tree. In leaf and inviting from afar but barren and curse-worthy in fact. You are full of the bones of the dead and all manner of filth. [Read more…]
I take refuge in the Buddha
Which Buddha?
Down the road from where I live, an old Victorian hotel has been converted into a temple of the Amida Buddhist order. Here, the chant Namo Amida Bu ("I call out to Amida Buddha) calls upon the mercy of Amitābha/Amida, the celestial Buddha of compassion.
Caldey Island, Wales
On Easter Monday, the Mormon Society of St. James will be embarking on its fifth annual major pilgrimage, this time to Rome. Pilgrimage has become something of a "hobby" for me and while one of the highlights of my year is the long yomp with the MSSJ crew, I also enjoy mini-pilgrimages whenever I have the chance.
Last summer I spend a day roaming around Caldey Island off the coast of western Wales. Caldey is home to a community of Trappist monks. Herewith a few snaps taken with my cheap phone: [Read more…]
Receiving Grace: Mozart's Great Mass
Becoming familiar with Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor (K.427) is a good way to both deepen one's appreciation for WAM, especially his church music, but also to find a way into understanding the rich and ancient eucharistic liturgy of the western church. The Great Mass, composed in 1782/3, is unfinished* but the missing parts are often added for modern performances and recordings.
In the Great Mass we proceed in stages through music until we receive the grace of God in the Eucharist.
On not correcting mistakes
I don't think I believe in bibliomancy but when I randomly opened my Essential Dogen today, I opened to a teaching that spoke directly to a problem I have been mulling over for a while now, viz., how one should, in this new world of fake news, best respond to misinformation and its amplification via social media. I would like to know what the BCC community thinks:
Even when you are clearly correct and others are mistaken, it is harmful to argue and defeat them. On the other hand, if you admit fault when you are right, you are a coward. It is best to step back, neither trying to correct others nor conceding to mistaken views. If you don't act competitively, and let go of the conflict, others will also let go of it without harboring ill will.
My whole soul rebels against this. If you are clearly wrong, and if the wrongness matters, I have this overwhelming urge to correct you. The thing is it generally seems to be a futile exercise and has this unwelcome outcome of tieing knots in my own wellbeing. Maybe Dogen is right . . . ? (#zen)
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
On the second of June, 1953, around 20.4 million people in the United Kingdom crowded around only 2.7 million television sets to watch the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey. This was a watershed moment in the modern era, a day on which the ancient rituals of an ancient kingdom were open to the public in an unprecedented way. [Read more…]
God has not vanished
For Ascension Day 2016.
Luke Skywalker has vanished.
These are the opening words of the opening crawl of the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens.
Luke Skywalker—Jedi Knight, conqueror of the evil empire, redeemer of his father Darth Vader—has vanished. If you have seen the film you will know that this vanishing has been wholly bad for the galaxy: in his absence, a new empire, a new Death Star, and a new dark lord have arisen.
Luke Skywalker has vanished and the galaxy is suffering.
The gospels also tell the tale of a vanishing and vanished hero. The original ending of the gospel of Mark has the women come to Jesus' tomb only to find it empty. Jesus has vanished and this leads to shock: the women "went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid" (16:8). [Read more…]
Before we watched #ldsconf, we were still Mormons
Mormons in my neck of the woods first saw live General Conference broadcasts around 1993. A few members of the church had satellite receivers powerful enough to pick up a very poor reception of conference. It got better over the next few years. By the end of the 90s, most stake centres had dishes. Now everyone watches it on the internet.
Prior to the 90s, conference here was not a big thing at all. Sometimes we watched taped versions but without a huge amount of zeal. There was, of course, the printed version in the Ensign.
We knew that there were prophets leading the church but they were distant. The big stuff got through — like President Benson's talks on pride and the Book of Mormon — but mostly the leaders who mattered were local. No-one hung on every jot and tittle of every word of every speaker of conference as if it were all big stuff. This was ok. We were still Mormons.
The Need for Roots
I read Simone Weil's The Need for Roots at a time when life around me made its thesis particularly stark. I had been contemplating how deeply rooted most of the things are that give me joy and support in life: the work place founded half a millennium ago, my Christian faith, the LDS community, my family, my experience as an economically liberated citizen of a centuries' old constitutional democracy. Even quirky things like the custodianship of my father's stamp collection, stamps he has collected since the 1950s. So many good things in my life are rooted: old but not stale, secure but still dynamic.
Contrast this with the uprootings causing turmoil in the Middle East. To take one example: the plight of the Christians of Syria and Iraq whose once anciently-rooted communities have been torn up by war and terror. Writing as a French woman at the end of the Second World War, Simone Weil (1909-1943) has much to say about our societies' current ailments while also offering us a glimpse of a nascent France in her own time.
Elder Holland has it right: "It is not our purpose ever to demean any person's belief or the doctrine of any religion. We extend to all the same respect for their doctrine that we ask for ours."
It is therefore a shame to have this statement appear a few sentences before: "We agree with our critics on at least that point—that such a formulation for divinity [an unflattering amalgam of the doctrine of the Trinity] is incomprehensible."
It is also to be regretted that the full context of Serapion's lament — "Woe is me! They have taken my God away from me, … and I know not whom to adore or to address" — is not given, either by Holland, Paulsen, or Robinson). The Anthropomorphite heresy Serapion clung to had its crux in the veneration of icons. As an iconoclastic religion, Mormonism would no doubt also have frowned on Serapion's use of icons in prayer and sought to take them away.
Tithing and Zion
If one characteristic of Zion is that there are no poor (Moses 7:18), and if one means to improve the lot of the poor is to place fewer financial burdens on them (Isaiah 3:15), then the law of consecration and tithing as given in D&C 119 seems to be perfectly aligned with that vision. [Read more…]
Introducing This Christian Life
Loyal readers,
BCC is branching into photo-blogging and going beyond our Mormon neighbourhood at the same time. Please visit This Christian Life where we aim to capture a small visual essence of the Christian world we come across day-to-day. You can also follows us on Twitter (@TChristianL), Instagram (this_christian_life), and Facebook (facebook.com/TChristianL).
Please feel free to send us your own photos via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The best will be posted on the TCL blog (see also the sidebar here at BCC).
An order for sacrament meeting to last one hour
The content is Mormon but the pattern is inspired by the Book of Common Prayer, which has been preparing people to receive the Lord's Supper for 450 years. Scroll down for a version without the BCP headings (I have initially given the headings to show the order's methodology). The intent is to place the sacrament in the centre of sacrament meeting, to bring greater focus to our prayers and talks, and to better offer due praise to God.
The Gathering
Prelude music is sung or played.
Announcements are given by the relevant quorum and auxiliary leaders.
The Greeting
The presiding officer greets the congregation.

O God, speak to me through yarrow stalks
How does God speak to us? Let us say he speaks in our minds and we must worry no more about it. Except I will worry because that is me.
I am speaking in my own mind right now as I form these words and type them. Somewhere in my Wernicke's area, some chemical magic is doing something that I perceive as language. Does the Holy Spirit enter my brain and stir that soup? [Read more…]
Christmas has just begun!
Every year the same thing happens. Once Christmas week arrives, the profane calendar stops. No more Thursday or Friday, just Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The effect lasts until about New Year when we return again to the rhythms of the sun and the times and seasons bequeathed to us by the Romans. This is why marking sacred time is so important, not because we are fundamentalists who despise the secular calendar but because we are Christians who need to find some way to extricate ourselves from its utter dominance. Christmastime offers a glimpse of how this works. [Read more…]

Then Isaiah said: 'Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey by the time he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land before whose two kings you are in dread will be deserted.

I have recently been accused of not having enough evil in my life to be qualified to teach on it. This is ridiculous, as the following experiences will demonstrate.
* * *
* * *
I used to think that the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was holy. This
deception occurred in 1976, when I equated holiness with musty smells and French
names that meant "Our Lady."
* * *
There was a man at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris in 1978. It was Easter,
and the man stood alone in a row of pews and extended his arms like Jesus did at
Calvary. The man's head slumped down and lay fixed on his chest, as if he'd
just commended his spirit to God. The man did not move, and stayed that way. He,
like his Lord, had been crucified. Candles and the cold stone surrounding him
matched this death-vigil and elicited tears.
* * *
They ripped us off in Paris, France, 1978. The place was Montmartre.
Montmartre is where the artists of Paris gather to rob Americans. I think
Montmartre means "mount of martyrs." If this is so, it is so accurate.
* * *
Paul and I decided to run to L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This building is a
misnomer in the middle of Paris.
* * *
I must have been three years old at the time of my first color memory,
because my dad was sitting on a green bench at Mother Gooseland, and his knee
looked large and blue as I considered its form through his pants.
* * *
I was very interested in anatomy when I was a kid. I studied skeleton charts
all the time. I loved the names of the bones. "Tibia." "Humerus."
* * *
I was in my room one day writing a poem about fish and illustrating it with
colored pencils when my mother came in. She looked over my shoulder and
commented, "That's very good, Martin." I blushed with pride.
"How did you now what 'roe' was?" my mother asked.
* * *
I was doing a five-mile run one sunny fall day up Spencer Road. Spencer Road
is nothing but cornfields until you get to Crescent, where the gas fields are.
This was in the middle of the day, when nothing terrifying of the proportions I'm
about to relate to you is ever supposed to happen.
* * *
Jesse Owens should not have been slumped into the folding chair. He should
have been in Berlin, at the track. But here he was in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro
Football Hall of Fame Mayor's Breakfast. He was a very old man. No one was
standing near Jesse Owens, so I went over to speak with him, the young boy
rousing greatness.

Get the facts about Texas Tech University water resources, and registering for elective seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Given the breadth of engineering specializations, you're likely to find your niche, and be able to design a rewarding career. Concentrating on Texas Tech University water resources, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the environmental engineering department for course registration deadlines, and hydraulic engineering program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Texas Tech University.
Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to public health problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, manage waste disposal, and promote reclamation of contaminated sites after accidental contamination. Environmental engineering technicians carry out the plans that environmental engineers develop, including testing and operating equipment used to clean up air and water pollution. They may collect samples for testing, or they may study the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
Hydroengineers may be called upon to design municipal water supply systems, and industrial waste treatment methods. Water treatment focuses on minimizing the risk of infectious diseases, and ensuring adequate municipal distribution. In the field of air pollution, environmental engineers work to minimize emissions from vehicle exhausts and industrial gas stacks. To some extent, this may decrease carbon dioxide output, in order to combat global warming. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is one of the principal agencies that work with environmental engineers to protect and improve air, water, and overall environmental quality. Environmental engineering technicians holding an associates degree may earn $48,650 per year, while environmental engineers who have a bachelor's degree earn $79,500 annually on average, as of 2017. Beyond major requirements within the environmental engineering department, you may consider Hartwick College mathematics courses online as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Mr. Ravi Chandra Babu Pinuboina and Mr. Mohana Rao Mekala, the CIQ employees and the GVD leaders, came across an article published in the local daily, Eenadu, in December 2010 about the school students of the Govt. High School at Yousufguda, Hyderabad, outshining in sports, inspite of the inadequate facilities available to them in their school. The ambience of the school was not conducive to learning and development: the classrooms had broken benches and were poorly illuminated, the sports ground had not been maintained for a longtime, etc.
Students of the Yousufguda school have been champions in volleyball, throw ball, and kho-kho for the past 5 years in Hyderabad and have also been selected to represent the district team of Ranga Reddy to play at the state level. Hats off to the indomitable spirit of these students whose passion to achieve knows no barriers!
Inspired by the unconquerable spirit of the students, on Monday, July 4th 2011, a team of 18 volunteers visited the school, and provided sports material and T-shirts with CIQ logos, a science-lab facility, and lunch plates. Besides, the team repaired the benches, white-washed the school, and cleaned the surroundings and planted trees. Now, the school stands renovated. Above all, the volunteering group succeeded in lighting the spark of self-confidence in the students to march ahead in life.
Highlights of the GVD:

It's an absolute scorcher in the SB office today…and that's not just because of the weather. It's because we've realised one of our favourite festivals is just around the corner…Lovebox!! Split over two days across 14th – 15th July and as always taking over Victoria Park, the London festival is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year. Friday will see Frank Ocean (hopefully) headline whilst Saturday brings Chase and Status as the main attraction.
Alongside the main event during the day, there are also some very tasty 'After Dark' parties lined up to keep the party going. The likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler, Mike Servito and Late Nite Tuff Guy will all be lining up across various venues in London including Oval Space, fabric and Village Underground. Our personal highlight has got to Bicep and Gerd Janson at Oval Space on the Friday night. If Bicep's recent live shows are anything to go by, it should be a sizzler.
So for the festival itself, we've picked out some of our personal favs over the two days.Bicep
Probably the most 'in' dance act around at the moment. London based, Belfast born duo Matt McBriar and and Andy Ferguson have been utilising their encyclopaedic knack for house and techno selection on which their name as bloggers was made as well as releasing tracks on their own for a good number of years – 'Just' being a highlight. Their remixes have also struck a chord. Last year's retune of Isaac Tichauer's 'Higher Level' was one of the stand out tracks of the year. The boys will be an absolute highlight at Lovebox. With a very well oiled live show and some stonkingly good new tunes forthcoming on their new album, we can't wait to see what they bring to Victoria Park and Oval Space for the afters. Jamie xx
The xx chief beat maker is still riding high on a wave of success. Following a hugely successful debut album with In Colour and another knockout xx album, a headline set from one of London's most diverse selectors is something to look forward to.
Ricardo Villalobos
Not much more can be said about the minimal maestro. Villalobos is generally marmite – you either love him and 'get' him…or you don't. There are very few inbetween's. However, for those that 'get' him, he's provided hours and hours of mindblowing sounds and defined a genre by himself. His DJ sets usually knock it out the park (the less said about 2015's Cocoon In The Park, the better) and cherished by his many worshippers. After last years Lovebox appearance cancelled due to illness, we're excited to see what he brings to the fabric stage.
Danish native and Kompakt stalwart, Rune Reilly Kölsch has sold an absolute bucket load of records having produced under many monikers over the past decade. A true techno head with huge tours and showcase performances at some of the biggest clubs in the world, we're very excited to see what he brings to Victoria Park. If it's pianos and house music you're looking for, Kölsch is your man.
Last, and by no means least, it's KiNK – one of house music's most in demand producers and remixers. A class leader when it comes to 'Live' acts having topped the pile of RA's top live acts of 2016. With an arsenal of drum machines, percussion instruments, keyboards and whatever he can get his hands on, he's more of a one man band than a DJ. His performance at Lovebox should be something special.

1. Will there be vegan and vegetarian food options available at the conference?
All meals, snacks, and drinks at the conference will be vegan/plant-based.
2. What is the dress code?
We do not uphold a strict dress code for the conference, but most attendees choose to dress business to business casual.
3. Why is this year's conference at a new venue and not at Lewis & Clark Law School?
The conference has consistently sold out early over the past several years. In order to allow everyone interested in attending the opportunity to do, we felt it was important to provide a larger venue.
4. Will any of the conference be held at Lewis & Clark?
No, the entire conference will be held at the Hilton Portland Downtown.
5. Why is there an additional cost for the banquet dinner?
Along with the bigger venue and growing attendance comes elevated costs for not only the space rentals, but the food provided as well. We chose to make the banquet dinner an optional add-on item as we know that not all attendees will attend the evening events and this way, those who choose not to participate do not end up subsidizing the cost for others.
6. I didn't purchase a ticket to the banquet dinner, but I would like to attend. How can I update my registration to include the banquet?
Please send an email to [email protected] if you'd like to add on a ticket to the banquet dinner or purchase a banquet ticket for your guest. Eventbrite (the online ticketing platform) requires that we cancel your prior registration; you will then re-register with any add on options included with your new ticket.
7. Can I bring a guest to the conference and/or to the banquet dinner?
All attendees must purchase a ticket to attend the conference. Visit the "Register" page for more information about pricing and registration categories.
If you would like to bring a guest to the banquet dinner only, you may purchase a ticket during online registration by selecting "Saturday Banquet Dinner" from the "Additional Items" section (under the survey questions), and choosing the "Guest Banquet Ticket" option.
8. Will CLE credits be offered?
Yes, we will be offering 10 CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credits in Oregon and Washington, including 1 hour of ethics credit, pending approval from the OSB and WSBA. Anyone seeking credit in other states should submit the appropriate paperwork to their local Bar Association CLE Board or retain the certificate of attendance, which we will be providing to attorneys who register for the conference, if their state has a reciprocal agreement with either of these states. For example, the California State Bar Association accepts credits from approved CLE jurisdictions, such as Oregon.
9. Where do I find the written materials for CLE participants?
Materials submitted by the panelists will be posted on the conference website's "Resources" page several weeks before the conference. PowerPoint presentations will also be posted on this page after the event, pending approval by individual presenters. NB: we will not be providing print-outs of the written materials.
10. What is live streaming?
In order to reach animal advocates around the world who may not be able to attend the conference in person, we are offering a live streaming registration option. Those who register to live stream the conference will be provided a login and will watch the conference sessions from the comfort of their own home. Attorneys who live stream the conference will also be eligible to receive CLE credits via the Oregon State Bar.
11. Will video recordings of the sessions be available after the conference?
Yes, the recordings of the conference will be available a few weeks after the conference concludes.
12. I registered for the conference but am no longer able to attend. What is the refund policy?
Refunds are available until September 29, 2017. Email [email protected] to request a refund.
13. Are companion animals or service animals allowed at the conference?
The Hilton Portland Downtown allows companion animals in the guestrooms and lobby area but unfortunately not in the meeting spaces or restaurants. Only ADA-approved service animals, therefore, are allowed at the conference. Please leave all other furry (or feathered, or scaly, etc.) companions at home or ensure you have proper animal care arranged during the conference sessions if you plan to travel with your companion animal.
14. Are there any group rates available at local hotels for conference attendees?
Yes, the Hilton Portland Downtown and the Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Riverplace are both offering Animal Law Conference attendees a special rate. More information can be found here.
15. Is student housing available?
We are not able to provide housing for students, but the Hilton Portland Downtown and the Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Riverplace are both offering Animal Law Conference attendees a special rate. More information can be found here.
16. I am a law student and cannot afford to travel to the conference. What can I do?
The Animal Legal Defense Fund is offering a limited number of travel grants for SALDF chapters around the country. You can find the travel grant application here. You might also consider the live streaming registration option, if you are unable to travel to Portland for the conference.
17. How do I get from the airport to downtown Portland?
For information on ground transportation to and from the airport, as well as getting around Portland over the weekend, check out our suggestions here.
18. What veg-friendly restaurants would you recommend in Portland?
Luckily, Portland is a very veg-friendly city! Check out the Northwest Veg website to find a compiled list of vegan and veg-friendly restaurants in Portland.
19. How can I sponsor the Animal Law Conference?
Sponsorship information is available on our website at this this link.
20. What else can I do while I'm in Portland?
Portland is a diverse and bustling city with lots of fun things to do! A quick Google search will result in lists of activities in Portland, like this one from Travel Portland.

What is life?
What is life? Is it a mystery? Is it an adventure? Is it a way to help
others? Or is it so brief compared to the rest of the time in the universe it has
no meaning at all? People have been wondering this for thousands of years,
yet no one has found an answer. Many look for complicated ways to
understand life, yet the answer is so simple; life is a book.
Since the day the binding was opened for the first time,and the author
began writting the story; every thought, action, and emotion that is
experienced is written into the book. Memory is just rereading the book.
Some pages torn, stuck to…
- Friendship and Loneliness in J.Steinback's "Of Mice and Men" and in Real Life
- What does It Mean to be British

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Hello. It appears that the Treasury Department is claiming that each of the partners is responsible jointly and severally. This means that all of the partners were responsible to pay the debt even if one of them could not pay it. The originally judgment of the court should indicate what kind of liability if joint and several, meaning all are liable together. Apparently the Treasury Department believes the is the case. Whether your father-in-law going into bankruptcy could protect his house is another question. You state that he waived that right to the homestead exemption, so bankruptcy may not be the answer regarding the house. It does not appear that the Treasury Department is going after the house, but his social security check. as you state. Usually the maximum to garnish wages is 10%. Possibly, bankruptcy could help to relieve the garnishment but may risk the creditor to go after the house. Your Father-in-law could attempt to make a claim against the other partner. Let me know if you have other questions.
Hello. Do you need clarification or have further questions about this issue? If so, please let me know. Thank you.

Discussion in 'Health & Body' started by MonkeyFresh, Jun 25, 2008.
Got in 5.5 miles in 34:52 over the Queensboro Bridge this morning.
6 mile repeats this morning. Thomas, it was strangely warm this morning. I forgot that humidity makes you sweat.
welcome to my sweaty, smelly, salty world. LOLOL.
6 in 41:30 this morning - weather is starting to come around here in Boston
Sign up for a race! they always have photographers on-course - you just have to be aware of them and smile at the right times. Most of my pics don't feature smiles; in fact in some pics I look like there's a railroad spike being driven into my ribs. ah well.
re: IT band, try stretching it - when mine flared up I stretched it at the hip, took roughly a week and it never came back.
Yeah ive been stretching it. it feels a lot better today. im going to attempt to do 9 miles again tonite see if im up for it.
yes you look like youre in pain but that is the way to do it!
Nursing a bad back.... 3.5 miles in 30 minutes today. Easy pace.
8 today. was hoping to double but it wasnt in the cards. . . .
Met with these ladies who I am doing the Ragnar relay with next friday (from Huntington Beach to San Diego) - should be interesting. I am actually getting pretty pumped for it! I am running the hardest leg, but the team I am on has a pretty decent pace marked out (9 min/miles vs. a whole ton of 11-12 minute mile teams). I have some friends who are running the same leg on different teams so hopefully I will get to see some of them.
whats the distance of the relay race, how many people per team, # of legs per person?
i have done one long distance relay, a few years ago, and it was a blast. iirc it was 80 miles, 8 people per team, 3 legs per runner... it was pretty tough because you end running each leg something close to 10k race pace.
Yeah ive been stretching it. it feels a lot better today. im going to attempt to do 9 miles again tonite see if im up for it.
yes you look like youre in pain but that is the way to do it!
What I found when I stretched my IT band is that it had a long way to stretch: after a few days I was able to make a boomerang shape in my doorway: foot in one corner, hip touching the opposite doorjamb, shoulder on the foot-side jamb. After that point, I was good to go again.
did hill work for 25 minutes. weather a little chilly today. come quicker, nicer weather.
You pretty much nailed it Jwied - 12 people on a team, 200 or so miles and the legs range from 4-10 miles depending. They stagger it so that both weaker and stronger runners can participate. I get to run a what is supposed to be the hardest set of legs and I think they sum up to 19 or 21 miles. 2 vans take runners to their next legs. I am really ignorant to most of it, I ended up jumping on with this team at the last minute with a buddy (who then bailed). Still should be fun. They have them all over: http://www.ragnarrelay.com/
Today I ran 6.5 in the AM and then a workout tonight. Ended up doing 6 X 1200 (all right around 4:04)
Warm ups and cool downs and jogging recovery included I think around 10 - 11 miles.
Now I get to tutor some kids for their algebra mid term tomorrow. Not the best.
^^ yeow - good luck with the relay, Sam.
...today, 8 miles 1:00:50. For some reason, around 4.5 miles I just felt like walking. Weird. I walked for a minute or so, and figured that was it. Then I picked it up again and ran the next 3.5 miles with no trouble at all. ah well.
15 miles in the secret spot, found some new trails, I also failed to find some and paid the price in blood.
Right knee is nice and abraded.
Set the course for the Giffnasty Fat Ass run on May 29th.
Longest Ive run in there. I did 3 loops of 5 miles.
Hockey has been killing me, three to four nights a week so running has taken a back seat. This week I was able to do a couple of runs, 4.6 miles by the water Monday and 5 Industrial Miles today:
There's a Costco in Brooklyn now? Or has that been there for a while?
There's a Costco in Brooklyn now? Or has that been there for a while?
Been there fr ages...2nd Ave and 39th ST, just off the BQE.
5 for me, nice and easy in light rain. Aching knee, hope it doesnt cause trouble during this Sunday's 10K in central park.
NYR, still want to come your way and take a run sometime. Promise it won't be weird like it usually is when the internet meets real life.

IVGID Tip: How to introduce kids to skiing
December 18, 2013
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Tip of the week" is a periodic feature running in the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza, in partnership with the Incline Village General Improvement District, providing locals with various tips pertaining to the recreation opportunities and services the district provides.
Introducing your kids to skiing can be a great experience or a total disaster. Here are a few tips to help that first day on the slopes go smoothly and keep everyone smiling.
• Play in the snow and have fun tubing, sledding, or building a snowman. Test out their snow gear and make sure everything is waterproof and fits well.
• Go ice skating! Ice skating can give them a head start on learning some of the basics of skiing including balance.
• If you're kids are young and new to the snow, start in one hour blocks. It's better to take them away from the snow early and leave them wanting more.
• Watch some "How To" videos online so they can see other children skiing and have a good visual going into their first day.
Recommended Stories For You
• Layer. Dress them warm on cold days and keep them cool on warm days. Check the weather, but know that conditions can change throughout the day.
• Put them in a lesson. I've been told that you never teach the ones that you love how to ski, especially if you want them to continue to love you.
• Have realistic expectations of their first day skiing or riding. They may not graduate from the bunny slope on the first day, but be patient.
Most ski programs in the United States adhere to the Professional Ski Instructors of America philosophy of "Safety, Fun and Learning" in that order.
If your child stays safe and has fun they will want to come back and progress in sport that we all love.
Cherish these moments and before you know it they will be zooming by you on the top of the mountain.
This tip was provided by Ken Mattson, director of the Diamond Peak Ski Resort Child Ski Center. Diamond Peak offers group and private lessons for ages four and older. Three-year-olds are accepted in private lessons. Visit DiamondPeak.com or call 775-832-1177 for information.
