Here are a few thoughts on my current reading stage!
Hi! I'm Rebecca, lover of Jesus, my hubby, good hot tea and great conversations! I claim a little town in western North Carolina as my home, but Texas has stolen my country-girl heart.
Here are a few thoughts on my current reading stage!
There's a smallness and a sweetness to being newlyweds in 776 sq ft.
Without realizing it, I also catapulted my husband and I into something unexpected; a short season of being between.
Whenever I create and spend money on a new system, there's always the slight fear that I will abhor it in a year. That didn't prove true with this one; I still love it!
I've been saving my tea tins for the last few years because I've seen so many great uses for them on Pinterest.
I love the casualness of standing in the kitchen and having a good conversation while food is prepared. There's something therapeutic about using your hands and working beside someone while fleshing out a thought;...
Here are some brief thoughts on some of my recent reads!
When people ask me if I am a baker, I tell them that I am not, because I don't love the chemistry of baking. In fact, if the recipe requires exactness, I refuse to make it.
One day last year, I discovered that my pantry was overrun with ingredients that I would most likely never use again - things like stale panko crumbs or whole wheat flour or a strange form of dried bean. I decided right then and there to create a Capsule Pantry.
My best friend and I have been talking about going to see Beauty and the Beast together for weeks. She even drug me halfway across town to experience the newest movie theatre.
I reflect on God's goodness. I praise Him for His faithfulness.
I stood at that old hardwood countertop in the big room filled with books, comfy chairs, and the mountain light and signed my name in cursive to the back of the card.
Have you ever felt like your short term goals have been significantly altered by a situation or an event that shouldn't be that big of a deal?
I love bright colors and varying patterns, but often when I try to pair them together, it feels like too much or seems too bold.
Do you ever have sluggish days, weeks, or seasons, when you can't seem to get anything of significant worth done? The tasks exist, but the motivation to accomplish them doesn't.
What was the result? I wasted a lot of time and productivity because this new system simply didn't work for me.
I like endings to be tied up with a pretty bow - and today marks the end of a year and the beginning of a new year that just doesn't have a pretty ending.
This month's reading choices were based on things that either I've been wanting to read for quite a while, or books that came highly recommended.
Something about the pinks and reds and purples in the dull of winter, combined with a reason to celebrate right after I've overcome the Christmas fatigue, makes me gushy about this holiday.
Winter isn't super harsh here in sunny Texas (although I have broken out my ski socks and my gloves many times this year!), but the leaves are still off the trees, some days the sky is still dreary, and it simply isn't the same as the airy days of spring, the lavish days of summer, or the brisk fall skies.

When hubs are first published, they tend to have scores in the 50s or 60s. That might pull your score down somewhat.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Yes, you are right---so there is a connection between hub score and hubber score. Thanks for taking out time to answer.
My Hubber score goes down also for a few days, but I have noticed a trend. My hubber score doesn't go as low as it used to and when it rises, it goes higher than it used to. (I don't think I have ever been at 96 before and I haven't published in a few days).
Also, it is rare that I start a Hub, write it to completion, and publish all in one sitting. Those hubs do tend to have a Hub score in the 50's or 60's. I usually work on my hubs over a few days, write some, add more, edit, touch up, etc. By the time I publish, my hub scores are usually in the 70's.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I think you got it right and explained everything. I am going to try and do something like you have mentioned in the second paragraph. Thanks a lot for answering the question. I am sure this will help.

I am extremely happy with the professional manner in which my acupuncture treatments have been conducted, and with the very positive results.Ms. H
For the last two years I received massage at the ICOM Clinic. I went for treatment for two reasons: to help repair some of the damage I do to my legs by running so much; and for personal relaxation and "me time". The massages have always been to a high standard and I have been made to feel completely at ease during the treatments. We discuss how I am feeling at each appointment and the treatment is tailored so injuries and problems are considered. I leave feeling relaxed and uplifted.Ms. M R


text: I was just wondering... how would an app like Launcher Pro be affected by the "Blur skin" staying on the Droid X? I'm not too familiar with this area. Is the Blur skin attached to the Droid X, even though I will be using something like Launcher Pro, affect the performance in any way of the Launcher Pro?

Randy Garrett, Clarke County's elected coroner since 1996, was elected by his peers to serve as district director for the Georgia Coroners Association.
Garrett, who served as deputy coroner for 21/2 years prior to his election, will act as a liaison for 31 Northeast Georgia county coroners in matters involving the association.
The Georgia Coroners Association, with members from the 154 counties that elect coroners, focuses on working with elected officials and the state legislature in issues that affect their office. Garrett, a sergeant with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, also serves on the association's legislative committee and is chairman of its long-range planning committee.
His election to district director was confirmed during the association's recent annual meeting in Valdosta.

Editor's Note: This post includes graphic images and footage.
U.S. Marines were training in Thailand this week as part of a jungle survival exercise where they learned to find water, shelter and food, which for some, included drinking snake blood.
Cobra Gold 2013 was conducted with the Royal Thai Marines, giving soldiers insight in what the Marines' press release stated could someday mean the "difference between life and death."
"This is the Thai's home, it is the environment they were raised in," Sgt. Robert Dominguez, a squad leader with the MRF Platoon, 31st MEU, said in a statement. "Most of the Marines here are accustomed to the desert environment with hardly any knowledge on how to live off of the jungle."
The highlight might have been Chief Petty Officer First Class Veing Pimsorn, a Royal Thai reconnaissance Marine, showing the 90 soldiers how to kill and prepare three snakes, including a king cobra. The Marines were allowed to choose whether or not to try the cobra's blood, which the press release stated is full of nutrients.
Here are photos from this year's training as well as a few from last year:
"Drinking the blood of the King Cobra is a survival technique used to maintain hydration deep in the jungle," Pimsorn said in a statement. "With all of these techniques combined, an isolated U.S. or Thai Marine could survive off the jungle."
Here is footage of the training:
This was the 32nd time such a training with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit has been conducted.

The infamous "Poof".
And no, I am not talking about a come back of MC Hammer pants.
I've been sporting it longer than it was popular.
And by "sporting it", I of course mean using the poof to NOT FIX my hair everyday.
And luckily, a handful of celebrities came along to make it look cool.
And then someone let Snooki take it to all kinds of wrong places.
Note: the pinch and twist is PIVOTAL to a good poof. Otherwise, it will fall flat. This was a problem I had ALOT in the early days.
Also, dry bangs pinch and twist WAY BETTER than wet bangs. (That's what she said...)

Hollywood Shorties
- Format: DVD
- Release Date: 12/13/2016
|your cart is empty
THE HOLLYWOOD SHORTIES is a documentary on the birth of organized sports in the American dwarf community. Dating back to the 1950s, the Hollywood Shorties were a basketball team formed from an insular group of recognizable-but-typecast actors. What began as a rare outlet for these little people to gather publicly, by the early 80s saw the Shorties enjoying a niche in entertainment akin to the Harlem Globetrotters. Simultaneously, they found themselves the vanguard of a revolution to represent little people as something other than objects of curiosity. But, in a bittersweet turn, the very popularity that the Shorties singlehandedly created would phase the team out of the sport they pioneered.

IMPORTANT: check the bottom of the story to the follow-up to this piece.
Some things are more important than a house-moving hiatus…..
Could this badge be hiding a multitude of sins?
Word from Robert Collin at Aftonbladet this morning that GM may have thwarted Saab's Hybrid being announced as an even bigger breakthrough than it seemed to be. As it is, the Saab 9-3 Hybrid won rave reviews for being the first hybrid vehicle to potentially return zero fossil fuel emissions.
Aftonbladet are reporting today that what Saab didn't say about the Hybrid was that it is a plug-in hybrid.
And why didn't they say it?
Well, if Robert Collin is correct, they were gagged. A translation of the Aftonbladet article, from Tom at iSaab, a Swedish Saab forum:
A couple of days previous to the premiere at the Stockholm Autoshow the orders came from Detroit: Not a word that the car can be charged from the socket! The Saab emblem on the boot, that hides the 220-volt intake, was glued shut. The pressmaterial was withdrawn and had to be rewritten. In Trollhattan they don´t know why, but it might be that GM will show a similar solution on one of its American brands that will be shown at the autoshow in New York later this April.
So why the fuss? Go to Calcars and check out why they're touting Plug-ins. In short, there's the mileage benefits, cleaner energy source benefits, lifetime service cost benefits and power storage benefits.
Plug-ins are the current darling of the environmental set and if you're that way inclined, then being the first car company to produce a good, practical and realistic working prototype would be a major coup. The significance of the Saab Hybrid concept lay in the fact that they did it with an existing model, and to prove that it wasn't going to be a huge bulky proposition, they did with a convertible!
This sort of clever design and development is a perfect fit for the environmentally responsible Saab brand.
Apparently GM killed it in Stockholm because they want to debut it, possibly on one of their home brands, at the New York Auto Show. If so, then GM's true commitment to Saab and the realisation of its true growth potential must be questioned, in my opinion.
Saab is the one brand amongst GM's portfolio with huge growth potential, and a vehicle like this, especially in a truly revolutionary configuration like the plug-in Hybrid, would have been a huge boost to Saab's profile and in perfect keeping with its previous history of drivetrain leadership. Anyone but me notice how a lot of recent articles on future powertains are mentioning turbocharging?
If this story is accurate, then GM should come out and give credit where credit's due. If they debut a plug-in hybrid on anything other than a Saab later this week in New York, then it's shame, GM, Shame.
My thanks to Tom from iSaab.net for the tip-off, links and translation.
UPDATE: There's a follow-up piece to this story and the title says it all: The Smoking Gun. The original press release was found, with the reference to the plug-in capability.

According to a report late Friday from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, an international organization devoted to issues of religious freedom, Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, a Muslim convert to Christianity who has been imprisoned by the Iranian government since 2009 on apostasy charges, has been acquitted and released from prison.
Nadarkhani, 35, previously had faced a possible death sentence for the charges against him, a result of his prostelytizing Muslims to convert to Christianity. He also refused to deny his Christian faith to save himself from execution.
Since his detainment three years ago, the U.S. State Department, the British government, the Vatican, Amnesty International, and a host of Christian organizations and leaders — including South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu — have called on the Iranian government to release the young pastor.

My stock battery just ran out of juice, and when I put the extended battery in and started up the phone, I get a series of force closes. Additionally, some apps have magically disappeared - e.g. Handcent. In addition, it has seemingly reverted back to some old settings - e.g. wefi thinks it's just been installed. Weatherbug has a notification that I had previously switched off. Half my widgets and apps suddenly don't work. And when I try to click on them, I just get a FC error.

Jill Hughey is stopping by to discuss her steamy historical romances. Take it away, Jill…
The most interesting fact about Jill Hughey is that she can sing really, really high. But the craft that fills most of her spare hours is writing historical romance set in Charlemagne's empire. Her stories have the normal level of sensuality for the genre and she doesn't normally flash the dirty bits around in public, but, since this blog is called "Hot Blogging with Heart" Jill thought she should share a scene with a little bit of heat. Here is a steamy first kiss from her book Vain that goes way, way farther than most first kisses, especially in the 840s when this story is set.
Lily, our heroine, just learned today that her father, who sold their home and tailoring shop while she was still living in it, has completely abandoned her to move elsewhere with a woman. Theo, lord of the town, knows she needs protection, so he insists that she stay at his home. She may have drowned her sorrows with a bit too much wine with dinner, and is now adjusting the hem on his new tunic.
"Are you done?" He sounded impatient.
She glanced up from beneath her lashes. He was looking down, a falcon over a mouse.
"Ah, damn." He shocked her when he reached down to grip her elbow and pull her upright, searching her eyes with a restiveness that indicated he was indeed feeling impatient with her. His thumb traced tenderly along her jaw and over her lips, sending sparkles of…something…down into her belly. "Did Arn ever kiss you?" he asked thickly as he cradled her chin in his hand.
"Of course not," she replied, confused. "He is a gentleman."
Her description annoyed him. "He is a boy and a fool," he asserted as he stared at her mouth then ran his thumb along her lower lip again. Unfamiliar intensity stiffened his posture. He leaned forward. She should have known what would follow. In her innocence, the light brush of his lips over hers surprised and paralyzed her with its novelty and gentleness. She examined the experience for a moment, liking his kiss intensely, and when his dry mouth and tickly beard pressed against her more firmly, he awakened an unfamiliar passion. Her chin lifted to bring her lips into better alignment with his. They teased one another's mouths for a few moments. Lily wished she could spin them out forever.
He retreated slightly, studying her from behind hooded eyelids. "A complete fool," he amended, then he pressed against her in earnest, one hand moving to her neck while the other slid to her hip. His lips caressed hers in a tantalizing motion. Her mouth opened instinctively, letting his tongue slip along her lips and slide against her tongue.
Wine and heat and longing curled through her.
She slid her hands up his chest to his shoulders, then wound her arms around his neck, wanting to pull him closer in any way she could. They kissed and tested. He removed her veil, combing his fingers through her long hair as they kissed. Time lost meaning. Lily floated in a pool of wanting and being wanted.
Theophilus's hand explored upward, finding her breast. Her flesh tightened as he cupped it appreciatively, murmuring against her cheek. She did not protest when he loosened the lacing of her tunic. His lips were on her neck, the beard rasping her tender skin. Effortlessly, Lily was bared to the waist, even her undergarments pushed aside. Her lord leaned back. With a thick forefinger he traced a line from her shoulder over her nipple to the bunching of fabric at her waist. She bit her lip against the flare of lust his touch sparked, her nipple prickling in tight excitement. "You are perfectly made, Lily," he rasped. "Adding pleats is just unfair to the rest of womankind."
She tried to think of a pert reply. Coherency flew away as his mouth fastened on her breast. A furor of lust erupted. She clutched at his tunic, and he growled, arching her back over his arm, never releasing the suckling hold on her nipple. She throbbed, an unimaginable tension running from the heat of his mouth to her loins. Her body belonged to him, becoming less recognizable as her own as she moaned and ran her hands restively over his ribs and back. She grabbed great handfuls of his garment.
He lifted his head. His eyes were dark and commanding. "Take off my tunic."
The order should have shocked her back to sanity, but she wanted to obey. She wanted to see his skin and caress him as he did her. He gazed at her like a man starved, his eyes drinking in her exposed skin, his hand cradling her breast even as he waited for her to comply with his command. The same hunger tore at her. He knew how to guide them to sustenance. And he would.
"Take it off," he repeated, as though the two of them undressing in his hall was the most obvious, sane action they could possibly take. He tore his eyes off her breast to look at her. With a wry smile he leaned forward to begin kissing her again.
She had never felt anything like this. It had been so long since she'd felt anything good at all that she hoped this moment would never end. She tugged on the Blood of Christ, so distracted by his solid torso she barely noticed that in the midst of removing his tunic he also shoved her clothing the rest of the way to the floor, leaving only the thin shield of her hose over her legs.
"So beautiful," he praised as he began kissing her again, pressing a palm on her soft belly. "Yes," he encouraged when her fingers skimmed across bronze shoulders that felt like the warmest, smoothest cloth she could imagine. And his smell. He smelled clean, yet, somehow exciting. Her nostrils flared, inhaling the masculine scent that raised her awareness of him even higher. He buried his face in her hair, then brushed it away so he could nip at her neck. She let her head drop back into his palm while his other hand kneaded her breast before putting his mouth there for another taste of her.
Her world, already so unbalanced, flipped again, slipping her, body and soul, deeper into the pool of lustful heat, until it made complete sense to have his hands on her bare bottom, then invading the hot cleft between her legs, a place she'd never even explored herself. When her lord gently parted her, the rightness of his touch had her opening for him without protest. She sucked in a harsh breath when his clever finger found a particularly satisfying spot.
"Oh Lily," he breathed as she put her lips on his lightly haired chest. She thought his voice quavered. She hoped so because somewhere, deep in her mind, she knew a reckoning awaited in the harsh light of day when she would have to face him and remember what she had allowed him to do.
His finger stroked again and that bitter warning blessedly evaporated, steamed away by the heat consuming them. She whimpered and hung on him, her hands clutching at his straining shoulders. He turned and lifted her, sitting her on the edge of the table. She did not understand what he wanted her to do. He stepped between her legs to renew his attention to her sex, and she did not need to understand. Her body knew. Her hips moved of their own volition and her knees drew up, first against his ribs, then easing outward as her hands clutched at his shoulders.
"Oh Lily," he groaned again. She had not thought it possible to add a new sensation, until she cried out as he slipped his finger into her. She arched back and moved against his hands like a wanton, riding an upward spiral until, miraculously, she shattered. Something inside flew apart in waves, driving her to thrust up and moan and helplessly receive the pleasure he gave without mercy.
* * *
When the storm ended, she was sprawled on the table, the most erotic creature Theo had ever beheld, much less touched. He leaned over her, pushing her hair off her flushed face and arranging the locks over her breasts, fascinated.
Her hair was nearly black, with enough thickness and length to completely cover her chest. Theo liked the contrast of the dark strands against her pale skin but he pushed the hair away again impatiently. Those breasts would bring any sane man to his knees. Only an insane man would shield them from view, especially when they were rosy from his kisses. He had not lied in his praise of her body. And now she lay, limpid and helpless, too innocent to arm herself against his knowledge of her. She would not protest if he mounted her. No, just the opposite. She would be a soft, willing cradle, and she might even rise again in passion.
His manhood strained within his braies, so close to the passage he knew would be tight, slick, so ready for him. Virgin. The thought stayed him. Lily was a virgin, a woman of a lower class, and under his protection. He could not violate her. In fact, half an hour ago, he would have denied the possibility of laying her out like a roasted lamb on his table. She had been fixing his hem, looked up at him in complete ignorance, and his body had said "You must touch her now. Now, now, now!" The resulting explorations had been unplanned and foolish. But damn. Who would have guessed the tailor's daughter to be a woman of such exquisite passion?
She stirred. Her eyes opened, and she stared up at him, acutely aware of and confused by what had occurred between them. He smiled with genuine tenderness at her lovely innocence. She shifted, obviously wanting to sit up. He pulled her upright without retreating, his whole body thrumming with the desire to be closer to her. She slipped her arms around him, bringing them into an unexpected, pleasant embrace, her head on his shoulder and those tantalizing breasts pillowed against his chest. She trembled so he stroked her back, giving her the reassurance she obviously needed while appreciating the very feminine curve at her hip where the flesh had a womanly pliancy. If he could just get inside her, he would clamp a hand onto that hip as he drove to his own completion.
He clenched his teeth against a groan.
She imitated his touch, trailing her hands from his shoulders to his waist and up again, probably unaware of the rock hard shaft straining to get at her. He was painfully aware. The scent of her skin and the musky aroma of her desire teased him even more as she pressed against him. He wanted to be inside her. Now, now, now!
"What just happened?" she whispered, her breath tickling his skin.
He smirked. He had never been anyone's first lover and enjoyed the masculine vanity fed by the wonderment of her question. "I gave you pleasure," he answered.
She nodded and a strand of her hair tickled his stomach. "Is there a way for me to give you pleasure?"
The innocence of the question shot lust through him like a flaming arrow. He'd had no expectation of receiving any relief from her tonight. Now that the offer was quite literally on the table, he had no ability to deny himself.
He reached between them to release his sex from what remained of his clothing then placed one of her hands around the hardened shaft. She gasped. He feared she might bolt. He would let her go if she did. Instead she looked down, studying his manhood. Knowing her gaze was on him made him grit his teeth. He moved within the circle of her hand, then adjusted her grip to teach her what pleased a man. Her motions were willing but awkward, not nearly as fulfilling as he knew her sheath would be.
"Show me what you felt, Lily," he begged, impatient. "Move your hand the way your body moved."
She bit her lower lip, then began to drive him slowly, deliberately mad, using her whole body to arouse him. She kissed him open mouthed while she worked him, even bringing her other hand down to squeeze the blunt tip of his manhood. He moaned into her mouth as his hips matched the rhythm they both remembered. His lusty response made her bolder.
He palmed her breast, and she twined a leg around his waist and moved her hot lips to his neck, then, God help him, to his flat nipple. He moaned in a primal way even an innocent could recognize. "Yes," she whispered as he spent on her bare thigh. She did not stop, caressing him until he begged her to cease. Even then she did not let him go, instead cradling his softening member in her palm.
The climax stunned him with its potency, and with the stark knowledge of what had been missing. He had wanted to be inside her. He had wanted to put his seed in her with an intensity that both startled and unsettled him. Spending outside a woman's body had always been his contraception of choice. He had never given it a moment's thought. Tonight, the wasted seed glistening on her skin somehow shamed him, a shame that made no sense. He had preserved her virginity. He had saved her from future shame. He had protected them both from producing an illegitimate child. Why did the act of wiping the fruitless semen from her ivory leg feel so wrong?
Jill was thinking of this scene when she wrote the short blurb for Vain which goes like this: A tailor's abandoned daughter fashions a vain nobleman's tunic, finding passion between the neckline and hem as misfortune forces her into his precarious aristocratic world.
Vain is available at the following ebook sellers, and is in print on Amazon. It is the third book in Jill Hughey's Evolution Series.

When Christopher Banks becomes a private detective, he fulfills a lifelong ambition. However, none of his new professional chores have the force of one very personal assignment: Banks decides to return to his Shanghai birthplace to trace his parents, who disappeared when he was just a boy. In the hands of a less adept novelist, this plot would slip quickly into well-worn tracks. In the hands of Kazuo Ishiguro, the author of Booker Prize-winning Remains of the Day, the narrative becomes a subtle instrument, registering cultural nuances and character changes.
Ishiguro shows immense tenderness for his characters. [The novel] confirms Ishiguro as one of Britain's mist formally daring and challenging novelists.

Acura RSX (8 Reviews)
I purchased my 2005 RSX type S brand new with 3 miles on the Odometer. I have parked it in my garage, and I have pampered it, and I must say that overall I am happy with the car, sure it has road noise and it is a bumpy ride, but it is a sports car with stiff springs and the shocks and bushings are stiff. I will say that overall the car has been wonderful performance wise, with the exception of the air conditioning, which is parasitic and when you live in southern California it is a must, and it really eats your gas mileage. Also, the paint is crap, I only have 49089 miles on my car, it has been parked in the garage most of it's life and the roof is a lighter tint and the clear coat is turning flaky and white and peeling off, also my gear shift leather is wearing along with the leather in the seats, other than that, I don't have many complaints other than I just ordered a new battery about an hour ago. Overall a good car, just not the best paint job.
I currently own a 2003 Acura RSX. The mechanics at Acura found galling on one or more cam shaft lobes in my engine. The symptoms of this problem are loss of engine power and a noticeable, louder than normal, clicking/tapping noise from the valve cover area. This is a significant issue that has caused me great concern.After doing a little research I see a trend w/ the early K-series and a lot of other owners with same pictures - rumor seems to be problem w/ heat treating process during manufacturing on camshaft. Though, I can't validate that, most goes unnoticed since valve adjustment typically isnt until 110k miles and at that point, the response you will get is that your vehicle is no longer under warranty.
Excellent track car after all the modifications I made to it. Plus it's a gas sipper, but gas guzzler when I step on it. :-)
92000 miles now since new. Poor dealership service for Check Engine Light--on--replaced Air Flow Sensor--solved problem @ own cost of $300. Parts more expensive than other imports. No problem for last 40K. Looking for long term ownership for another 50-60 thousands miles.
i have a 03 acura rsx type s . car is nice shifes smooth has 70k on it had it for 3 year the most time i hit vtec is like 5 time a mouth doont really race it. every fast.
I purchased this car used in 2010 and it had at the time 57000 miles on the odometer. First the pluses: great acceration and handling, good gas mileage, attractive body stlyle. Now the negatives: poor exterior paint quality, fades and chips easily (in the body shop getting painted as I write this), ride is quite harsh with high road noise levels, and seats can be uncomfortable when driving for an extended period. I've owned one other Honda, and it was reliable, and I don't expect this one to be any different.
06 Type S. The car has been well maintained yet dr. seat leather sticthing failed; shift boot cheap vinyl flaking off; shift knob losing images. 63k and the engine oveheated on the freeway with no warning. I pulled the pan and there are fried bearings. I had leased the car for 3 years then bought it. This happened a week later. Its in the drveway ...I think the cranks ruined.
This is a terrific car--they should just call it an Integra. The RSX is fast when you want it to be, and fun to drive. Practically no maintenance issues, and great gas mileage.

I taught my first TEFL class this week! 8th Form (grade), by myself for 45 minutes on the climate of Great Britain. Introduced some new words like "rainfall," "sunshine," "climate," "wind," "humid," "mild," "average." I also tried to teach the pupils about comparatives and superlatives. Parts of the lesson worked – they loved the "word swatter" game – and parts were addressed to complete silence. Overall, it wasn't too shabby for a first lesson but there is much room for improvement.
In Ukrainian language we've moved from the food unit to time and weather. Learning ordinal numerals; how to ask for/tell time; days of the week and months of the year; names for weather phenomena. Friday was a beautiful sunny (сонце) and warm (тепло) day! Also interesting is that in Ukrainian the months are named after things that happen in those months:
January (січень) loosely means "heavy snow"
February (лютий) means "angry month"
March (березень) is the bird month
April (квітень) is the month when flowers come out
May (травень) is when grass is green
June (червень) is when cherries blossom
in July (липень) the linden trees bloom
August (серпень) is harvest month
heather comes out in September (вересень)
October (жовтень) is the "yellow month"
November (листопад) is "falling leaves month"
December (гпудень) is "frozen ground month"
Language class is a fun mix of review from the previous day and new material practiced through games, dialogues, and repetition. As usual, more "daily life in Ukraine" pictures below.
|Kate and I unconsciously dressed in opposite color schemes for our first day of teaching!
|Beautiful fall day in Chernihiv.

(Adds details from prospectus)
ZURICH, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Actelion said on Thursday that Johnson & Johnson's agreed tender offer for the Swiss biotechnology company's shares is expected to start on March 3 and run until March 30.
The price is $280 per share, valuing Actelion at $30 billion. Shares of the new research and development company being spun out of Actelion for a Swiss listing will be distributed to Actelion shareholders as a stock dividend prior to settlement of the tender offer, it said.
A prospectus for the deal published on Thursday added these points:
* Actelion will pay the bidder a $500 million break fee if the offer is not successful or does not become unconditional in certain circumstances
* The minimum acceptance rate is 67 percent
* J&J has agreed to make a 10-year convertible loan worth 580 million Swiss francs to the R&D pipeline company being spun off; the loan will be convertible, in two tranches, into up to 32 percent of the shares of R&D NewCo.
* R&D NewCo will be financed by the convertible loan, cash on hand of CHF 420 million provided by Actelion, and a credit facility of the CHF equivalent of $250 million to be provided by the bidder
* Shares of R&D NewCo are expected to be admitted to listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange on the same day as the Actelion deal settlement
* J&J intends to delist Actelion and plans a squeeze-out if needed
* J&J executives Paul Stoffels and Joaquin Duato approached Actelion CEO Jean-Paul Clozel at a conference in January 2016 and suggested they explore a potential strategic transaction
* In August 2016 J&J Chairman and Chief Executive Alex Gorsky informed Actelion's chairman that J&J was not interested in a collaboration on cardiovascular products, but rather in acquiring Actelion
* After considering a rival approach in early December from a company identified only as "company A", Actelion's board authorised re-engaging with J&J because "this path was more likely to result in a transaction that would maximise value for Actelion and its shareholders" (Reporting by John Miller; editing by Michael Shields and Jason Neely)

California Industrial General Permit
On June 3, 2015, the court denied a petition by California Coastkeeper Alliance (Coastkeeper) challenging California's Industrial Storm Water General Permit (IGP). Order Den. Pet. For Writ of Mandate, Cal. Coastkeeper Alliance v. State Water Res. Bd., No. RG14-724505 (Cal. Super. Ct. June 3, 2015). The IGP replaces the 1997 permit and authorizes stormwater discharges from industrial facilities in California. The IGP becomes effective on July 1, 2015.
The IGP contains significant changes from the 1997 permit, including an increase in monitoring, sampling and reporting requirements; numeric action limits (NALs) for certain pollutants; new and/or improved best management practices associated with an exceedance of the NALs; the elimination of conditional exemptions, thereby increasing the number of facilities covered by the IGP; and requiring facilities that discharge to an impaired water body to comply with additional requirements.
The Coastkeeper petition focused on the permit's compliance with water quality standards and monitoring requirements. First, petitioners argued the IGP must immediately include effluent limitations consistent with applicable total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) and associated wasteload allocations (WLAs). When the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) issued the IGP it established a deadline of July 1, 2016, to reexamine WLAs and translate them, as necessary, into specific permit requirements. The court rejected Coastkeeper's argument finding that the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regulations, EPA's interpretation of those regulations and case law allow the State Board to defer setting effluent limits consistent with WLAs. The permitting authority may examine individual discharges at a later date and, if appropriate, impose more stringent requirements as may be necessary to comply with WLAs.
Next, petitioners argued the IGP's monitoring requirements are insufficient to demonstrate compliance with Receiving Water Limitations — known outside California as water quality-based effluent limitations. Coastkeeper argued that the permit must require each industrial facility to monitor their stormwater discharges into the receiving waters. The court found EPA's regulations require some means of effectively measuring compliance with the permit terms. However, the court disagreed with petitioners' argument that the IGP did not contain sufficient monitoring provisions to effectively determine compliance. The court noted the NPDES permitting authority has discretion on the specific monitoring requirements and "monitoring" is not limited to sampling pollutants entering receiving waters but can include a combination of inspections, monitoring and recordkeeping. Coastkeeper may appeal this order to the California Court of Appeals, and Hunton & Williams LLP will continue to monitor any developments in this case.
EPA Multi-Sector General Permit
On June 4, 2015, EPA reissued its Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) pursuant to the Clean Water Act (CWA) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, replacing the 2008 MSGP. The new MSGP is effective immediately. The MSGP is available only to operators of industrial facilities — categorized into industrial sectors — located in areas where EPA is still the NPDES permitting authority, including Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, US territories and Indian Country. However, because delegated states that issue their own industrial stormwater permits typically model them on EPA's MSGP, EPA's permit is very influential.
While the MSGP is largely similar to the 2008 MSGP, various modifications were made including revisions to select technology-based effluent limits, eligibility requirements on the ability to obtain permit coverage and requirements associated with threatened and endangered species. With respect to the permit shield issue raised in comments on the proposed permit, EPA failed to clarify that a discharger who complies with the terms and conditions of the MSGP will be deemed in compliance with the CWA and be protected by the permit shield contained in CWA § 402(k).

Nick Park's lovable claymation characters, the affable inventor Wallace, and his preternaturally intelligent dog, Gromit, are at it again in their newest video game, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Based on the film of the same name, the game is a platformer that has you controlling Wallace & Gromit as you explore a town and do missions for your fellow townsfolk. While the game does a good job at capturing the look and feel of the Wallace & Gromit universe, the missions themselves are only mildly amusing at best, and are sometimes unclear in their objectives.
The story of The Curse of the Were-Rabbit loosely follows that of the film. Wallace and Gromit are partners in a humane pest-control company called Anti-Pesto. They've drummed up quite a bit of business catching rabbits as the town leads up to the annual vegetable competition. With all the townspeople trying to protect their giant vegetables, Anti-Pesto is in charge of catching all the rabbits in town and protecting them from destruction by the furry pests. Lord Victor, a smarmy hunter, sneers at the humane methods Wallace and Gromit use to catch the rabbits, preferring instead to shoot them. But the Lady of the town, Tottington, favors the bloodless way of doing things, and contracts Wallace and Gromit to protect her house, much to the jealous chagrin of Victor. After a brief tutorial level in which you clear rabbits from Lady Tottington's house, the rest of the town is opened up, and you can wander around and pick up simple missions from the various townsfolk. The town is open-ended, so much like in a Grand Theft Auto game, you're free to walk around and explore, doing the missions in any order you please--although some areas of the town are locked away until you've completed certain tasks.
The missions are often very short and simple; they often involve going into gardens and catching varmints like rabbits and squirrels before they eat the large vegetables. Others are chores like finding three vials of holy water that the vicar has lost in the sewer, or sorting vegetables that roll down a Rube-Goldberg device that the bank manager has constructed. To do the tasks, both Wallace and Gromit are armed with a vacuum-like weapon called a bun-gun. The bun-gun can suck up single rabbits, vegetables, or other items and shoot them out. You'll also unlock other gadgets and tools along the way, like a screwdriver that Wallace can use to disarm security doors via a minigame, or umbrellas that you can use to float down from high places. Certain missions and puzzles require both characters to work together, so if you're playing single-player, you can go to certain spots and whistle for the other character to help you. You can also play the campaign cooperatively with two players, so you can work together to do these tasks. The combo tasks are usually pretty obvious, like having one character suck open a switch cover with the bun-gun while the other character hits the switch. Wallace and Gromit each have special strengths, as well. Wallace is taller and can double jump to higher places, for example, while Gromit has the ability to wall jump up narrow crevices to get to high places, much like the Prince in the Prince of Persia games.
Over the course of the campaign, you'll eventually learn the secret behind the were-rabbit that's terrorizing the town and eating all the vegetables, and you'll get the ability to switch the time from day to night and back. Certain missions that involve fighting were-creatures require you to play at night, and in these missions, you'll gather up the valves that Lord Victor has stolen from Wallace's mind-manipulation-o-matic device. There are quite a few missions to do in the game, and a good amount of things to do for the townsfolk. The problem is that none of it is particularly fun, so it feels a lot like a series of minigames instead of a coherent story that flows together. The game certainly nails down the whimsical atmosphere of the Wallace & Gromit universe, so if you're a big fan, there's some amusement to be had in the game. But eventually most people will probably grow tired of herding rabbits into vacuum-suck drains and fighting were-creatures.
As far as presentation goes, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit does a good job at capturing the look of Nick Park's claymation characters. The game doesn't look all that impressive from a technical standpoint, but anyone who's seen a Nick Park short knows that the look of his universes doesn't require a superflashy graphics engine to capture properly. The goofy animations of the characters certainly captures the whimsy of Wallace and Gromit, but if there's any complaint to be made it's that the characters don't move in that claymation fashion like they do in the films. The game also seems to use a lot of the same voice actors from the film, and the music in the game also sounds appropriately goofy and authentic in that regard. Cutscenes from the actual movie round out a game that presents its source material pretty well.
While there's certainly a lot to do in the game, a wealth of gadgets to mess around with, and hundreds of rabbits to catch, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit ultimately limits its appeal with by-the-numbers gameplay. If you love Nick Park's creations and the film, the game's worth checking out; but beyond that, there are better options out there if you're looking for a family-friendly platformer.

I. The Characterization of the Author of the Change. A. Paul's argument, thus far, is that his "message" is legitimate because it altered his former, and deeply driven, behavior of aggression against God's Church and Paul's own generation. B. At this point, he switches from that former reality and begins to press the claim that God altered his behavior; thus making his message a message from God. This presses the initial argument deeper into its essence. If the message really is legitimate, God had to have been behind it. C. In this switch, he begins by addressing the activities of God involved in the process. 1. The "when" phrase automatically brings the issue of timing to the fore. It is a part of the warp and woof of Paul's theology that all things are subject to "timing" because of the nature of the creation as a cause/effect reality: every stage of the procedures requires the previous stages and prepares for the coming stages and, for that cause, everything occurs "in its time". Even if the action of God is "miraculous" (standing outside of, and above, the cause/effect progression that already exists), it is an "addition" to the overall progress of the Plan of God and, as such, takes its own place as a "cause" in the cause/effect reality and fits into the "timing". Thus, Paul's "when the fullness of the time was come..." (Galatians 4:4) is simply another way of revealing his understanding of a creation under "procedural processes of progress". a. In John 9 there is a record of the disciples' curiosity about who was responsible for the condition of a man born blind. Jesus' response was that the man's condition was not linked to the man's sin, or that of his parents, but, rather, to the intention of God to make His works and truth manifest (9:3). This demonstrates the fact that God decides the whats, whens, hows, etc. of "events" according to the Large Plan. Even though many go ballistic over the idea that God would be involved in any way with a man being born blind and compelled to live blind for many years so that He might demonstrate His powerful works, this record sets this reality before us: God does as He pleases among the children of men and their outrage is of no consequence to Him (Daniel 5:21). Outrage assumes moral superiority and men have no basis in fact to claim it. b. Most of the miracles of Jesus fall into this category of events under a special period of revelation. There is little doubt, for example, that the woman who had the issue of blood for twelve years sought after every manner of "healing" during her long bout with the problem (Luke 8:43). This, more than likely, even included "prayer". But she was not healed until Jesus came on the scene and she took the action described in the records of the event. That she was healed at this time, and no other, indicates that all things are done in a time and for a purpose that suits the intention of God. Nor is there any real doubt that the revealed intent for the timely healing was to bolster "faith" in Jesus of Nazareth as the Redeemer (thus, Jesus' words were, "...your faith has made you whole..."). c. But, Paul's focus in our text is that the evidence for the truth of the Gospel rests not in what men consider "miraculous", but what is in fact "miraculous": the reality of a changed heart/mind complex from its bondage to Sin to its love for God. It is a more difficult thing to get one of the offspring of Adam to embrace Love than it is to raise a dead body. The former involves love/faith issues in fallen man; the latter simply requires "power" to be applied to a physical entity. 2. To address the timing factor in terms of the "pleasure of God" does not indicate any sort of "willy-nilly" characteristic in God, but it does bring out the fact that involvement in the stages in the development of His Plan satisfies God in some way. It is obvious from Paul's record that he was euphemistically "hell-bent" in the pursuit of the destruction of the Church of God and that it would take an "event" to turn him from that pursuit. God thought it good (Paul's term translated "pleased") to step into the processes and give them a new and better direction. The word Paul used indicates a significantly developed "point of view". God thought it significantly good that the arrival of the "time" for the next "divine interruption" of the activities of the wicked had transpired. The message of the Bible is that God typically frustrates the progression of evil at various points of time in order to accomplish His good will. a. Paul's verb is interesting. It is in the "active voice" but it is very often translated in the New Testament as a "passive" (God, or someone, "was pleased"). This may be telling: perhaps the meaning is not what the translators think it is. Perhaps we should be thinking more in terms of God's part in the activity that is under consideration, rather than the notion that the activities somehow "please God". If we alter the concept into its grammatically correct "active" voice, we end up with God actively determining that a thing/person is very good. Etymologically we can easily see that the word originally meant that someone "thinks it good that...". There does not seem to be any particular reason for drifting from that origin. This shift would make God more of the Actor than the Acted-upon, and that is a huge part of Paul's doctrine of grace. 1) Paul used the root of his word-choice in four other places in Galatians (2:2, 6, 9, and 6:3) and they all have to do with certain persons having good opinions of other certain persons. 2) The point is this: what one "thinks" reveals both what he values and why he takes action. For God to "think it good" to reveal Christ in Paul's situation meant that He was going to "do" something because it was "good". b. It is impossible to dismiss the implications of God's actions in terms of His "thinking". God has a Plan and He fully intends to execute it. Those who are caught up in His Plan have a special focus from God upon them. Those who have no such part receive no special grace. Paul's own experience and testimony was that he alone, of all of the Pharisees in Israel in his day, was given the experience of the road to Damascus and the rationale was, "...he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles..." (Acts 9:15), a rationale made known to Paul (Acts 9:16). The picture this generates is that of a "particular" plan within The Plan that energizes the Larger Plan. In other words, Paul's special experience was necessary for the salvation of many others who would experience nothing quite so special. But this is merely an example of how the entire universe works: there are a few hypercritical issues that drive most of the remaining "dailies". c. At the root of Paul's theology is the realization that God is, after all, God, and He does as He sees fit without regard for the attitudes, objections, or "superior intelligence" of any of His creatures. The bottom line here is not hard to see: it is inevitable that someone's vision of "fitness" will ultimately be determinative and of all who might lay claim to such "vision", only the omniscient God has any credibility as the author of the "vision of fitness". 3. At this point, Paul points to two actions of God which further his claim that his message is God's by virtue of the alteration of his behavior. a. The first "action" was God's involvement in Paul's original "birth". This may be a subtle reference to Jesus' "born again" comment to Nicodemus, a "ruler" in Judaism. Whether that is so, or not, it is clear that Paul considered the success of his live birth an "act of God". The question here is why Paul would have resorted to the issue of his "beginning" as an "actor" on the world stage. 1) The very first issue is that of "grace", i.e., the matter of just who was/is the actual "initiator". No man "separates" himself from his mother's womb. No man even has any "say" about the fact that he exists in his mother's womb. All of men's "decisions" come about after an initiation by another/others that makes their decision-making possible. As a given, this reality posits a particular and real moral obligation upon all who "exist" by reason of some "other's" decisions. Since they exist by the choice of another/others, they automatically exist under those others. Thus, the "first commandment with promise" (Ephesians 6:2) is focused upon "giving honor" to those who made the choice that resulted in the existence. There is no other particular reason for this command. "Existence by grace" is not "existence without obligation". Many seem to think that because "grace" is consistently presented in Scripture as unmotivated by the recipient, it, therefore, has no "obligation" attached after the fact. But Paul would highly disagree. He is the one, after all, who championed the doctrine of salvation by grace apart from works and who said he was "under necessity" (1 Corinthians 9:16) and was "a debtor" (Romans 1:14 and 8:12) because of the grace given. Clarity might be achieved if we simply recognized that though the initial "gift" of "grace" is not rescinded if the consequent obligation is not fulfilled, there are consequences to the failure to respond properly after the fact. 2) This first act of God was followed by a long-permitted, set of actions by Saul of Tarsus wherein he fought God tooth and nail at every turn, though he would not have described his actions in those terms while he was involved in them. His growing conviction was that he was a very "superior" servant of God, not a profoundly opposed enemy. But this cancerous pride was the foundation of his inimical mindset and the very reason that a "second birth" was necessary. 3) Paul's reference to his original birth clearly brings God into the picture, but it also raises the issue of his own progression in wickedness after the fact. One wonders why Paul would have done this. Perhaps it was his way of identifying with his readers who, like him, had been the recipient of significant grace from God and had turned away from Him. b. The second "action" of God in regard to Paul's message is that He "called" Saul into his "Paul" identity. The attribution of the "call" to "grace" is deliberate. Paul was changed, not by a message of demand/performance, but by a message of clearly undeserved kindness and deliberative activity at a highly personal and individual level. 1) This reference to grace fundamentally guides Paul's readers' attention into the realm of great good being extended to seriously undeserving recipients. It does two things simultaneously: it gives hope to those who are guilty; and it creates a profound level of understanding of the relationship of "guilt" to the rebellious rejection of God's evaluation of sin's dominance in men. Men who receive grace from God and make no return (2 Chronicles 32:35) are in serious danger, but not so much that it cannot be rectified (2 Chronicles 32:26). 2) The method of this "grace" is given: He "called". This was not a "general" call that would come by the preaching of the Gospel by some Christian. This was a very specific confrontation on the road to Damascus that had very specific personal characteristics. In any case, the issue here is that God took the initiative so that His action is called "grace". It is a mistake to think that God's call is not personal and individual. God is the Overseer of the question of to whom the Gospel goes and any given individual's exposure to it is not a matter of "chance" (Acts 16:7). Even when a person hears the Gospel there is no guarantee that such hearing constitutes a "call". Saul of Tarsus was not ignorant of the content of the Gospel because he was a witness to the message of Stephen before he took his part in the murder of this evangelist. The fact is people often "hear" without "hearing"; that is to say, the sound penetrates their ears and they give some level of response, but the penetration and response is of no impact in regard to the information having any kind of effective influence for good upon the hearer.

The authors of this guide to transformation in urban schools are convinced that the key ingredient for school renewal is fearless leadership. Fearless leaders work in schools under-resourced and overburdened and serve disproportionately large numbers of children who live in poverty and face racism daily. They are ordinary educators committed to proving that demographics need not be destiny. This book will help you bridge the divide that separates urban students from their birthright of a high-quality education. Each chapter closes with reflections and activities that will help your leadership team produce its own roadmap for change. --from publisher description.

Healthy indoors in a number of simple ways

|Living green is today's most recent trend. No matter who you are or where you live, if you want to blend into today's society, you need to think about your responsibility in protecting and sustaining our fragile Earth. Cutting back on your carbon and other contaniments is easy and costs very little if anything. Doing so will help you feel better about yourself, and secure your position in our society. This article will outline some important tips that we can use to decrease our carbon footprint immediately and thus contribute to a better future. Nearly all people believe that its out of their reach to slash their carbon emissions since they do not recognize what it precisely involves or they have been misinformed. The truth is that its actually very effortless to make a change by performing the following: 1) Drop the warmth in your home, if only a little. You will hardly notice a difference, and this will nonetheless have a major effect on what you pay for electrical power each day. 2) Another great way to cut your electrical usage is by replacing your standard bulbs with the new "eco-friendly" light bulbs. You'll not simply use a reduced amount of power, but these bulbs are brighter and last longer. Another means to save is to remember to turn all the lights off if you're going to be out of the home for any extended period of time. Essential issues understood can be further looked into from a clean apartment professional in your region. 3) Get a nice, warm wrapper and wrap it around your hot water tank. It sounds humorous, but you can seriously reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the quantity of electrical power you need to use to maintain your hot water tank's temperature. 4) Check out a few of the environmentally focused products out there, like specific air fresheners and common cleaning items. These could seem like pretty insignificant methods, but taken all as one they can have a real impact on the maintainance of a healthy ecological system. 5) Adhere to the age old process of recycling as much as achievable. With a little bit of preparation, this can be a very trouble-free process. Initiate by separating your waste by types, such as plastic, paper and glass, and then start throwing each away into labeled containers - there's nothing to it. Additionally, a good number of shopping centers will have a drop off site for recycling that you can use to your advantage. Do not ever use furniture polish. Never use furniture polish as it is made with chemicals that may hurt you. Your health can be badly affected. This can actually make the air toxic. Regardless of what it is you are trying to make it look better than before, it can actually harm the object you are cleaning. One part lemon juice and two parts olive oil is a great way to create your own green furniture polish. Simply massage the solution into your furniture to get results. The health of those around these objects, and its structure, will be helped greatly and shine very brightly, too The smell or odor of this mixture is much more pleasant than chemically-based furniture polish typically is. Should your fantastic home is requesting expert help, then have a More methods in mind to aid. As you can see, these are modifications that can be made without any investments or significant amounts of time. Lets all work mutually to encourage the green living lifestyle and build a healthier future for ourselves and our coming generations.
