Paul Gallen claims all-in scuffles are a worse look for the NRL than two players punching, and offenders should be condemned to the sin bin.
The veteran forward expressed the strong opinion after he was involved in a major scuffle during Cronulla's physical 37-12 win over the Sydney Roosters on Saturday.
Roosters captain Jake Friend slapped Gallen on the back of the head, then stood over him, after the Sharks skipper had turned the ball over in a testy first half.
Gallen took exception to the goading, getting up and slamming Friend to the ground, which instigated yet another all-in melee that has plagued the competition since punching resulted in an automatic sin-bin in the wake of the former NSW skipper's haymaker on Queensland's Nate Myles during the 2013 State of Origin series.
His comments come in the same week teammate Andrew Fifita said he would gladly cop a punch to the chin if it meant he could coax a jab from an opposition player.
Gallen said it wasn't the niggle that has become a blight on the game, but the amount of players rushing in afterwards that caused a bigger stain on the on-field product.
"It's a worse look … players coming in pushing and shoving, than a couple of blokes throwing punches. I think those who want to run in from 20-30 metres away should be sent to the sin bin," he said.
Eventually penalised for his act of retribution on Saturday night, Gallen also conceded that he should have kept his cool and not retaliated against the Roosters hooker.
"He stood over me like he was seven-foot tall. I've never taken a backward step and neither has he. It's frustrating because we all know we can't do anything about it anymore," he said.
"But I've probably got to keep my head a little bit more there. It's a bit hard because I've never a backward step and I don't intend to. But we got the win, that's all that matters."

Tank fleets are among the trucking operations targeted for the new SAF-Holland CBX23 AeroBeam Fixed Frame Air Suspension. The CBX23 AeroBeam was introduced during the Technology & Maintenance Council annual conference in Nashville TN.
The CBX23 AeroBeam is now the lightest weight air suspension in the industry, providing the optimal balance of strength and weight for ultimate performance in standard duty applications including flatbed and tanker trailer operations.
"Expanding the lightweight AeroBeam Series into the on-highway vocational trailer segment supports our promise to bring innovative suspension technology to market," said Jeff Talaga, SAF-Holland vice-president of sales and strategic development, Americas. "The CBX23 AeroBeam carries with it features that deliver measurable benefits for improved efficiency and safety performance."
The SAF CBX23 AeroBeam has a base weight of 465 pounds—45 pounds lighter overall than the previous generation CBX23 and 25 pounds per axle lighter than the nearest competitive fixed frame air suspension. Per Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Phase 2 legislation, the 45-pound savings will reduce the GHG gas emission by 660 pounds over 10 years. Setting a new level of excellence, the CBX23AeroBeam is built to stand up to the rigorous demands of standard duty flatbed and tanker applications.
Features of the new suspension include heat-treated cast alloy suspension beams, 80 ksi frame brackets and a 5.75-inch diameter friction-welded axle that is 12% thicker than competitive axles. Covered by a five-year warranty structural warranty, the CBX23 AeroBeam is designed to provide years of trouble-free service. Combined with the streamlined AeroBeam design, the new CBX23AeroBeam provides trailer builders more flexibility. It can be adapted to fit a wide range of trailer types with multiple frame brackets styles, including weld-on tapered top, weld-on with wing and bolt on.
Like all SAF suspension systems, the CBX23 AeroBeam is treated with BLACK ARMOUR, which provides hot dip galvanized level protection without the added weight or cost of HDG. Eco-friendly BLACK ARMOUR chemically bonds with metal to form a protective layer that is impervious to water and stands up against the harsh anti-icing agents used on roadways.
The patented Swing Align system makes maintaining axle adjustment quick and easy. Industry standard service components including air springs, shocks, HCVs, and actuators reduce maintenance costs and downtime. The CBX23 AeroBeam is available with the optional NewP89 or P89 Plus Air Disc Brake System. Backed by a five-Year Warranty, the New P89 sets a new industry standard for value. The P89 Plus is a premium ADB package that includes a seven-year maintenance-free bearing system and premium rotors to provide a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership.
Designed for varying load operations, the SAF Auto-PosiLift Automatic Axle Lift System is available on the CBX23 AeroBeam. The Auto-PosiLift system is programmed to automatically lift the front axle in a trailer tandem a minimum of four inches when it senses that only one axle is necessary to carry the load.
Also new from SAF-Holland is the FW35TT Multi-Feature Enhanced Fifthwheel specifically designed for terminal tractors. The FW35TT is designed not only to exceed the requirements for repetitive coupling, but to thrive in the demanding environment found in terminal operations. The FW35TT features the fast and reliable HOLLAND twin-lock design which prevents kingpin bounce out, the leading cause of coupling delay or failure.
To achieve the durability needed to deliver an increased maximum vertical load capacity rating of 80,000 pounds, the FW35TT top plate is cast with an extra thick top surface to increase life. The entire casting is made from high yield cast steel, and provides top performance in all operating environments. The FW35TTrib structure is second to none in durability. The optimization includes a more robust main rib and kingpin throat structure with added reinforcement to the entire kingpin contact area.
Since uptime is a key issue for fleets, the FW35TT is easy to maintain with exclusive design enhancements. The twin lock jaws are secured with easy-to-remove pins and can be replaced in less than 15 minutes. When the grease-free pocket liners need replacing, it now takes only seconds to pull out the old pocket liners and drop in new ones. And, the new front skirt spring retainer makes for easy yoke shaft replacement.
In addition to increased durability and easy repair, functionality is critically important in terminal tractor applications. SAF-Holland enhanced the lock mechanism cam plate for smoother operation and increased life. And for driver convenience, an integrated automatic secondary lock eliminates the need for a manual handle for activation. A new integrated lock down mode adds an unprecedented level of coupling security by automatically activating when a driver releases the trailer parking brakes. The new double-acting air cylinder holds the lock mechanism in the closed position until the driver re-engages the trailer parking brakes and activates the in-cab release to unlock the fifthwheel. This new lock down mode automatically prevents the FW35TT from being accidentally uncoupled.

Dixie Chicks (Wide Open Spaces): Wide Open Spaces CD Track Listing
Dixie Chicks (Wide Open Spaces)
Wide Open Spaces (1998)
Originally Released January 27, 1998\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: When sisters Martie Seidel and Emily Erwin founded the Dixie Chicks in 1989, could they have possibly known the success that would someday be theirs? After three independent records and several lineup changes, the group was re-energized by new lead singer Natalie Maines and the support of a major label, and exploded onto the contemporary country scene with the release of Wide Open Spaces. As always, their strengths lie in their honey-sweet harmonies and superb musicianship, now topped off by the sassy power of Maines' lead vocals. Apparently, they know how to pick songs as well, with "I Can Love You Better," "Wide Open Spaces," and "There's Your Trouble" all breaking into the Top Ten and pushing album sales into the multi-platinum category. Wide Open Spaces is a wonderful blend of traditional elements such as banjo, fiddle, and steel guitar and contemporary attitude, most notably a strong female perspective. As far as subject matter goes, they cover all the bases by tossing in a great honky tonk/bar/broken-heart song with "Tonight the Heartache's on Me," several touching ballads, including "I'll Take Care of You," "Loving Arms," and "You Were Mine," and an in-your-face, unapologetic breakup anthem ("Let 'Er Rip"). When choosing tunes to cover, they tip their hat to some great, though perhaps surprising, women songwriters in Maria McKee and Bonnie Raitt with the last two tracks on the record. The charm and talent of the Dixie Chicks earned them well-deserved popularity across genre borders, and rightly so. Wide Open Spaces is a highly enjoyable listen. -- Kelly McCartney\n\nAmazon.com essential recording\nThe major-label debut from this Texas trio proves their instrumental abilities, blending more traditional twang with slow melodic blues, foot-tapping rockabilly, and bluegrass-inspired pop harmonies. From the opener, "I Can Love You Better," the Chicks let their love of music and genuine joy shine through while the energy on this album reminds one of Carlene Carter. Solid musicianship, topnotch vocal performances, and infectious pop hooks make this a stellar project. --Paula Ghergia \n\nCountry Music\nLike a lot of young Nashville acts, The Dixie Chicks borrow a lot from 70's and 80's California pop-rock; unlike a lot of their peers, The Chicks go to the originals for their material, and cover songs written by J.D. Souther, Maria McKee, Tom Jans and Bonnie Raitt.... Until they can make a song crackle with danger and lust, The Dixie Chicks will merely be a pleasant but inconsequential diversion. \n\nPeople\nThis Dallas Trio ... have a lively delivery and tightly harmonized sound reminiscent of Georgia's Forester Sisters. Although the politically correct may growl at the Chick's throwback tendencies--they do a lot of stand-by-tour-man and grieve-over-the-loss-of-him songs--this is an old-fashioned, good-time album, affable and rich with sweet-toned melodies. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nTerrific Major-Label Debut, October 27, 2004\nReviewer: Westley (The South)\nThe Dixie Chicks had been kicking around the country music scene for years with a variety of personnel before they added Natalie Maines as lead singer and released "Wide Open Spaces" - their major label debut. The CD, of course, was a huge smash and established them as one of the biggest country groups ever. In fact, with over 12 million copies sold, "Wide Open Spaces" is the best-selling CD ever by a country group (#2 is their "Fly" CD). After they released this CD, the group also won the Country Music Association (CMA) Award for Vocal Group of the Year in 1999. \n\nFive songs on the CD were major hits, starting with the "I Can Love You Better" (#7 in 1998), a playful up-tempo song. The group then scored three #1's in a row: "There's Your Trouble" (2 weeks in 1998), "Wide Open Spaces" (4 weeks in 1998), and "You Were Mine" (2 weeks in 1999). "Wide Open Spaces" has really become their signature song; it's a great sing-a-long about a girl's need to find her own place in the world. In addition, it won the CMA Award for Song of the Year. They finished with "Tonight the Heartaches on Me" (#6 in 1999), which is a very fun swing tune. Of note, "Let 'Er Rip" also scored some airplay and peaked at #64, although it wasn't released as an official single. \n\nIn addition to these hits, the CD is filled with terrific songs. "Loving Arms" has been a hit before for several artists, including Elvis Presley; the Chicks add some nice sweetness to it. Perhaps the prettiest ballad on the CD is the top-notch "Once You've Loved Somebody." I'm also impressed with "Give It Up or Let Me Go": a cover of a Bonnie Raiit song that the Chicks have made into a serious barn-burner. \n\nI hadn't heard of the Dixie Chicks until this CD was released, so I don't have the bias against them that a few others seem to have; that is, thinking that the group "sold out." Although this CD is clearly more mainstream than their older work (which I've heard on TV shows), their music is still more country-oriented than that of many contemporary hit groups. I really admire their music, and this CD is a great listen.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nFantastic musicians ! (a little note for fans), November 6, 2004\nReviewer: ira moon (Stikkittathamon, USA)\nI'm no fan of most of the country music that comes out these days, but I do like the Dixie Chicks. Call it male bias, but I do find female country singers far more tolerable. \n\nMy appreciation of the Dixie Chicks, however, largely stems from the fact that I went to school with "Martie" (as she calls herself today) way back in the day. I can't say that I knew her, but I saw her play violin on several occasions and her considerable skill had clearly blossomed by 8th grade. \n\nI must say, I feel a strange sort of pride for her and sister Emily. Truth be told, it's more like a feeling of vindication, although I'm not one to hang on to ancient grudges. Martie was never among the popular crowd, but if any of those jerky kids from our school had a clue where she was headed she'd surly be worshipped. But she never seemed concerned about them, just seemed to stick to her own thing, keeping a low profile. Her mom taught our class in both 6th and 8th grade and she was a super great teacher. The "Green and Gold" was a private school for pretty smart kids. After failing Algebra, I switched to public school (which did wonders for my social life). \n\nAfter I left that school, a friend was thumbing through my yearbook and saw Martie's 9th grade picture. \n\n"Who is THAT? Do you know her?" \n\nI was initially amused with my friend's interest until he pointed out to my astonished, newly pubescent mind, that she was the prettiest girl in the grade. How funny: I had been so clueless. I'm sure that Martie, if so inclined, can look back on those grade-school days and laugh. As my mom would say, she is one smart cookie. The Dixie Chicks are top drawer hitmakers and deserve their success. I also admire their willingness to speak their minds which is their right as Americans. I wish them all the best.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nQuality album that catapulted Chicks to superstardom, August 22, 2003\nReviewer: P D Harris "Pete the music and horse racing fan" (Leicester England)\nThis was actually the fourth album by the Dixie Chicks, but the first on a major label and it was also the first since Natalie joined the group. It features many great tracks, including covers of songs previously recorded by Elvis Presley (Loving arms), Marie McKee (Am I the only one who's ever felt this way) and Bonnie Raitt (Give it up or let me go). All those covers are quite impressive, given the distinctive Dixie Chicks treatment. However, it is the original songs that really are outstanding.\nThe album even yielded a British pop hit (There's your trouble) which is not easy for a country act to achieve, especially one that owes so much to the traditional roots of the music. Somehow, the Dixie Chicks found a way to sound sufficiently contemporary to appeal to people who normally don't like country music, yet still managed to sound traditional enough for the majority of diehard country fans.\n\nApart from There's your trouble, I can love you better, Wide open spaces, You were mine and Tonight the heartache's on me are other notable highlights, although every song here would be a highlight on most country albums - that's how strong this album is.\n\nWhether singing ballads or up-tempo songs, the Dixie Chicks set a standard that others can only dream of matching. The years of obscurity paid off in a big way with this, one of the best country albums ever released.\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Blake Chancey, Paul Worley \n\nAlbum Notes\nDixie Chicks: Natalie Maines (vocals); Emily Erwin (vocals, dobro, banjo, acoustic guitar); Martie Seidel (vocals, fiddle, mandolin).\n\nAdditional personnel: Billy Joe Walker, Jr., Paul Worley (acoustic & electric guitars); Mark Casstevens, Billy Crain (acoustic guitar); George Marinelli, Tommy Nash (electric guitar); Lloyd Maines, Tony Paoletta (steel guitar); Matt Rollings (Hammond B-3 organ, piano); Bobby Charles, Jr., Michael Rhodes (bass); Greg Morrow (drums); Tom Roady (congas, shaker, tambourine).\n\nAll tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.\n\nWIDE OPEN SPACES won the 1999 Grammy for Best Country Album. Dixie Chicks were nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "There's Your Trouble" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.\nThe Dixie Chicks' WIDE OPEN SPACES is flavored with tight-knit harmonies and acoustic instrumentation within the center of very tastefully understated arrangements. Their own acoustic underpinnings of fiddle, guitar, banjo and dobro are complimented and raised up by Paul Worley and Blake Chancey's respectful and organic production. This music is decorated with antique store furnishings, not the usual gaudy, regurgitated guitar licks and cheap generic production tricks. The trio is propelled by their delightful vocals and the very natural and easy country sway that the producer and the fine accompanying musicians have created.
This country cd contains 12 tracks and runs 43min 52sec.

Blake Shelton Did NOT Skip CMA Awards Because Of Miranda Lambert
Blake Shelton did not skip the 2016 CMA Awards because of Miranda Lambert, despite a wrong report. Gossip Cop can correct the story.
As Gossip Cop reported, the CMAs took place in Nashville on Wednesday night. Now OK! is exclaiming on its website Thursday, "Blake Shelton Skips CMA's As Miranda Lambert Hits Him With One-Two Punch!" The accompanying article says Lambert "ruled the red carpet," where she was joined by boyfriend Anderson East.
The tabloid goes on to write, "Miranda's ex-husband Blake Shelton completely skipped the awards show after their dramatic showdown at the ACM awards back in the spring! But avoiding the site of Anderson cozying up to the woman he loved is not the only reason that Blake may have sat these awards out."
"According to reports, Miranda has recently listed for sale the home that she used to share with Blake," says the publication, as if that has anything to do with the Country Music Association Awards. Still, OK! asks at the end of its story, "Do you think Blake is avoiding Miranda?"
But Shelton's absence at the event had nothing to do with Lambert. After all, they both attended last year's ceremony, which took place only a couple of months after their split. The real reason Shelton skipped the CMAs this year is that he wasn't nominated for any awards, and therefore had no need to go.
If the outlet bothered to do some research, it would've known that, but instead the magazine opted for speculation and sensationalism to make it seem like Lambert actually did something to him, which is not the case. And, by the way, the former couple didn't have a "dramatic showdown" at April's ACMs, either. They actually didn't cross paths, but OK! is continuing to cross readers by spreading misinformation.

There appears to be plenty of flak more than our unmanned aerial drone program, and much more and much more individuals are deciding that the deadly use of weapons from drones can be best drones for kids.
I ask could it be any more humane for an airplane having a pilot to fire off a rocket or a strategic smart bomb on a target? It seems to me that aircraft dropping a bomb can be inhumane since it usually is not known precisely where it'll land, unless it is one of the modern clever bombs.
Further, I'm relatively troubled by the ignorant open public wanting to save terrorists in order to continue their setting up and outlining to eliminate Americans, and in some method they dismiss those criminal actions and contact the United States into query for using unmanned aerial drones versus them. I mean those that protest drones, what do they require us to finish? Do they require us to produce robotic kissing drones that fly down and provide a substantial kiss to all the terrorists?
The New york city Times on Sunday February 17, 2013 had an intriguing piece, a spoof animation content on drones in an Op-Ed-Art area by Paul Scott and Greenberg Menchin. This piece tried to produce a mockery of the united states drone program which has actually been fairly effective, and it is because of the good success that the terrorists are in fact grumbling about it in their regional media, and today the worldwide media is rendering it right into a huge media circus worldwide. The Russian armed force is utilizing the media to make us appear harmful to drone usage.
It would appear to me that simply the truth that the terrorists are normally grumbling about our quadcopter with gopro, need to mean that it really is running. If it is operating, and the terrorists feel intimidated, then is not a great thing? And if this is a good thing, should not we do a lot more of it, and not much less of it? After all, we have been at war with terrorists round the world, and they come and strike, and go into hiding. They are the ones playing look for and conceal, not us.
If they 'd like to meet us on a battlefield we 'd be pleased to require, however alas, they don't generally because they are afraid, they understand that the battle will not turn out for them nicely. Some say that aerial unmanned drones are unfair, that it's an unjust fight. Yes, it actually is and the deck can be stacked contrary to the terrorists, which is an advantage. We do prefer to win the war on terrorism do not we?
Or do we want some individuals receiving plotting against all humanity collectively, destroying infrastructure, our freedoms, liberty and life-style? The drone is thought by me program may be helpful, and one that is running. Therefore we have to do absolutely nothing to enhance it, except to upgrade the innovations and the quantity. Please take into consideration all this and feel on it.

Two men and a woman were questioned yesterday by detectives investigating a petrol bomb attack in Londonderry, which left a man critically ill with 40 per cent burns.
Thomas Curry, 46, is being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after he was set on fire at his home.
Two men smashed a window of his house and then fired the petrol bomb inside, where he was sitting on a settee.
Police said they were treating the attack as attempted murder.
Mr Curry, who lived alone, was dragged from the flames by neighbours at Ben Varden Avenue, in the Waterside district, late on Friday night.

text: I found this to be an interesting article, and thought I would share. What you have read at http://www.av1611.org/niv.html was written by someone who adamantly advocates the KJV over the NIV. There even are claims that the NIV is a "perversion" of the Word of God. Yet I can show you many cases of how it actually is the KJV that differs more from the Greek text, in the New Testament, than the NIV does. Below, I will comment on four such examples, which I have copied and pasted directly from the http://www.av1611.org/niv.html web page that you brought to my attention. Incidentally, I use the Zondervan Parallel New Testament in Greek and English, ninth printing 1986, although there are various source texts that are used for various Bible translations. In the one I use, one sentence in the Introduction states, "The text is based on a comparison of the texts edited by Tischenforf (1869-72), by Westcott and Hort (1881), and by Bernhard Weiss (1894-1900)." 1) I TIMOTHY 3:16: The clearest verse in the Bible proclaiming that Jesus Christ was God. The King James Bible (KJB) reads, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH. . ." The King James says, plainly, "GOD was manifest in the flesh". The NIV reads, "HE appeared in a body". The NIV "twists" "GOD" to "HE". "HE appeared in a body"? So What? Everyone has "appeared in a body"!"He" is a pronoun that refers to a noun or antecedent. There is no antecedent in the context! The statement does NOT make sense! The NIV subtilty (see Genesis 3:1) perverts I Timothy 3:16 into utter nonsense! Here is 1 Timothy 3:16 in the Greek: This is the direct translation, from the Greek, of that portion of 1 Timothy 3:16: "And confessedly great is the mystery of piety: Who was manifested in flesh...." The Greek word Hos () is the word "Who" or "Which"; it is not correctly translated as "God." The NIV's choice of "He" is closer to "Who" (in the Greek) than the KJV's choice of "God." But even if the reader does not make the connection, there is a footnote reference for that word that reads, "Some manuscripts God." So the NIV even points out that other versions (such as the KJV) read "God," even though it is not in the original Greek. Furthermore, verse 15, the verse just previous to verse 16, reads this way: If I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.(1 Timothy 3:15)Clearly, Paul was talking about God. Most people who read verse 16 in the NIV and wonder whom "He" is automatically would back up one verse to see whom Paul is calling "He" and see, in verse 15, that it is God. In doing so, readers also would be gaining more information and knowledge about God and His household, the Church. The critic of the NIV has removed verse 16 from the framework and context of the whole passage, isolated it, judged it by his austere standards, and attempted to slaughter it. Yet, the verse remains alive and well for anyone who is perceptive and wise enough to read the entire written section within which it is contained. It should be pointed out that there are New Testament passages indicating that Jesus is God, in the original Greek, for which the NIV provides a better rendering than the KJV. One example is John 1:18 (along with which I will include verse 17): This is the direct translation, from the Greek, of John 3:17,18: "Because the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ became. God no man has seen ever; [the] only begotten God the [one] being in the bosom of the Father, that one declared [him]." Here is how the KJV and NIV, respectively, translate verse 18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18—KJV) No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, a,b who is at the Father's side, has made him known. (John 1:18—NIV)The NIV includes further footnoted information:a Or the Only Begotten b Some manuscripts but the only (or only begotten) SonFrom verse 17, it is clear that the person about whom the passage is speaking is Jesus Christ. In verse 18, the Greek shows that it is the "only begottenGod" who declares the Father, so the original Greek text specifies that Jesus, who is God, is the one who does this. Likewise, the NIV, referring to Jesus, says that "God the One and Only" is the one who makes the Father known. On the other hand, the KJV indicates that it is the "only begotten Son," not the "only begotten God," who declares the Father. A reader might infer that Jesus, the Son, is God; but the KJV does not say so explicitly. The NIV teaches in this case, as well as in abundant other places, that Jesus, without question, was God manifested in flesh. Was Jesus God? In reading the NIV, there should be no question that He was and is. 2) LUKE 2:33: The King James Bible reads, "And JOSEPH and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him." The NIV reads, "The CHILD'S FATHER and mother marveled at what was said about him." The "CHILD'S FATHER"? Was Joseph Jesus's father? Not if you believe the virgin birth! Not if you believe John 3:16, that Jesus Christ was the Son of God! A subtil, "perversion" of the virgin birth. Here is Luke 2:33 in the Greek: This is the direct translation, from the Greek, of Luke 2:33: "And was the father of him and the mother marvelling at the things being said concerning him." Again, the NIV's translation, "child's father," is a more correct translation of the Greek than the KJV's translation, "Joseph." There is not some conspiracy by whoever wrote the NIV, nor by the Catholic Church, in wanting to mislead people into thinking that Joseph was Jesus' biological father. If anyone believes in Jesus' virgin birth by Mary, whom they exalt very highly, it is the Catholic Church (which is not to say that I agree with all of the tenets of the Catholic Church because I do not). The KJV is correct in identifying Joseph as being the person to whom that verse refers. However, it is incorrect in it's exact translation from the Greek. Interestingly, all but the KJV and NJKV omit the word "Joseph" in Luke 2:33, and that is because "Joseph" is not in the original Greek. Even in the NKJV, there is a notation that NU Text reads "And His father and mother." So, as far as I have seen (although I did not search every possible translation from the Greek), the KJV is alone in using the word "Joseph" in that verse and in not explaining to the reader that in the Greek, from which it was translated, that word is not there. Notice these other verses in Luke chapter 2 of the KJV: Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. (Luke 2:41) And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.(Luke 2:48) In the first case, it is implied that Joseph was one of Jesus' parents. In the second case, even Mary implies, to Jesus, that Joseph is His father. So for those who argue that the KJV always and invariably indicates that Jesus is the Son of only God the Father (as I have heard some KJV advocates claim), and notthe son of Joseph, these appear to be at least two exceptions in the KJV itself. For someone learning about Jesus for the first time, and reading the KJV, both of these verses, all by themselves, would seem to imply that Jesus was the son of Joseph rather than the Son of God. Of course, believers understand that Jesus was not the biological son of Joseph; but new readers might get thewrong impression, from the KJV, in these particular cases. Also, for someone reading the first three chapters of Luke, in any version of the Bible, and translated from any Greek text, it should be crystal clear (for instance, in Luke 1:27-32) that the text states that Jesus was born of a virgin and was the Son of God. Due to all of this, I find it an irrelevant and immaterial argument for anyone to focus on Luke 2:33, "nitpicking" and "splitting hairs" about the fact that the KJV is unique in not implying that Joseph was Jesus' biological father, and attempting to discredit other versions which, in their opinion, insinuate that he was. Incidentally, I absolutely do believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. He is both the Son of Man and the one and only Son of God. (See also If Jesus was God, why did He say the Father was greater than He and knew things He didn't? and In John 3:16, isn't "only begotten" Son in the KJV the correct translation, whereas "one and only" Son in the NIV is an inaccurate translation?) Also, although Jesus was not the biological son of Joseph, He was Joseph's legal son, which was significant and important. (See Is Jesus a descendant of both David and Solomon?) 3) COLOSSIANS 1:14: The KJB reads, "In whom we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins:" The NIV reads, "In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." The NIV rips out the precious words "THROUGH HIS BLOOD"! Friend, redemption is ONLY "THROUGH HIS BLOOD". Hebrews 9:22, reads, ". . . without shedding of BLOOD is no remission." That old song says, "What can wash away my sins, NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!" Here is Colossians 1:14 in the Greek: This is the direct translation, from the Greek, of Colossians 1:14: "...in whom we have the redemption, the forgiveness of the sins." In the original Greek, the phrase "through his blood" is not there. Some versions, such as the KJV, have added it, probably taking it from Ephesians 1:7. The NIV even includes a footnote reference here that reads, "A few late manuscripts redemption through his blood." Thus, the KJV adds something to the original word of God. Even if what it adds is a true statement, it is better to let the Word of God speak for itself and not add nor take anything away from it. The NIV, on the other hand, translates the original text more accurately. Furthermore, with the footnote reference, it certainly does not abandon the principle that redemption is obtained only through the blood of Jesus, which is absolutely true. 4) The NIV perverts Mark 1:2,3 into a LIE! The NIV reads "It is written in Isaiah the prophet: I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way-a voice of one calling in the desert, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him." It is NOT written in Isaiah! "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way" - is found in Malachi 3:1! The King James correctly reads: "As it is written in the PROPHETS, . . ." A better translation! Easier to read - BY A LIE! Here is Mark 1:2,3 in the Greek: This is the direct translation, from the Greek, of Mark 1:2,3: "As it has been written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold I send the messenger of me before the face of you, who will prepare the way of you." In advocating the "correctness" of the KJV, the claim is that the reference to the prophet Isaiah should not be there. This is absolutely FALSE. In the Greek above, the fifth word in Mark 1:2 () is translated "Isaiah." If the word Isaiah actually is in Mark 1:2 in the Greek text, then it is incorrect to remove it, as the KJV does. In the NIV, a footnote reference after Mark 1:2 points to Malachi 3:1, and a footnote reference after Mark 1:3 points to Isaiah 40:3. Those are the two prophets, Malachi and Isaiah, to which the KJV refers when it reads, "As it is written in the prophets...." However, the KJV fails to make this connection, whereas the NIV is clear about the connection. Here are those two referenced verses, by the prophets, in the NIV: "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 3:1) A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD a; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God" b. (Isaiah 40:3)In Isaiah's passage, the NIV includes further footnoted information: a Or A voice of one calling in the desert: "Prepare the way for the LORD" b Hebrew; Septuagint make straight the paths of our GodThe NIV abounds in footnoted text, making sure that the reader is informed about all available interpretations and information. For instance, in the New Testament, there are countless references to Old Testament verses. This is vitally important in understanding how Christianity is the clear, natural, and unmistakable progression and unveiling of Judaism. On the other hand, I never have seen a KJV with any footnotes. People who use a hostile and antagonistic approach to promote a point of view (as Terry Watkins does in his "New International Perversion" commentary) often do so either 1) because they are completely ignorant of the facts and/or 2) because they want to elicit an emotional reaction (usually rage) in their readers/listeners to gain support for their views. Usually, they have "grown up" accepting something to be true or proper. They are comfortable with their viewpoint, which generally is accepted by others close to them as well. They typically have no interest in changing the way they think, even if evidence to the contrary is presented to them. Furthermore, they will employ any means to defend their position, because they cannot stand to be wrong and are intolerant of what other well-informed and well-meaning people believe. For instance, many people who embrace the "pre-tribulation" view of the Rapture and the "young-earth" view of Creation are like this. Countless verses in the KJV begin with the word "and"; reading a protracted chain of such verses in a row is like reading one exceedingly lengthy sentence, which often will contain several punctuationally incorrect comma splices. This can result in less comprehension of what was just read because the human brain better organizes single ideas rather than an entire collection of ideas put together as a unit. Millions of Christians have become accustomed to these drawn out groupings of verses that are commonplace in the KJV, even though modern English does not read that way at all. KJV users also have become familiar with common phrases and passages from the KJV that they have read, and have heard being read, most of their lives. They have become "cozy" with words such as "thee," "thy," "thou," "ye," "shalt," "wilt," "hath," "hast," "hence," "thence," "goeth," "cometh," "exorteth," "saith," "heareth," and "repenteth." They even have come to associate such words with religiosity and holiness, if not with "genuine" and "authentic" Christianity—even though many of the words and terms in the KJV reflect the language of England during the early 17th Century, not the language of the early Christians in Israel in ancient times. In the minds of many of these people, anything (such as the NIV) that "threatens" or "conflicts with" their devotion and loyalty to the KJV needs to be assaulted and bashed. The person who wrote the page at http://www.av1611.org/niv.html referred to the NIV as a "perversion" and as being full of "lies." Even if I didn't feel the way that I do about the NIV, I still would be utterly and totally appalled at that type of hostile and distasteful language, especially coming from a Christian. And he certainly is not the only one who does this. For decades, I have heard many, extolling the "virtues" of the KJV, who have attacked and slashed the NIV to shreds. There is no translation of the Bible, from the Greek, that is entirely correct. None exists; at least, I am unaware of one. I am quite willing to acknowledge that there are some phrases in the KJV that reflect, more accurately and better than other translations (including the NIV), the wording and meaning in the original Greek. Overall, though, I have found that the NIV surpasses the KJV in doing this. Plus, many have agreed with me that the NIV has an easier flow when reading it, due to its sentences of normal length and its modern English, than does the KJV with its tediously long sentences and its old "King's English." Many people, after having read my Bible commentaries containing abundant NIV references to verses and passages, have emailed me and told me that they never had realized how "easy" the Bible is to read. Many of them have commented that, once they saw how straightforward and uncomplicated is the text in the NIV Bible, they have chosen to read the Bible, from cover to cover, for the first time ever. For that reason, along with the other reasons I have stated, I much prefer the NIV over the KJV. As such, I have chosen to utilize the NIV in the references included in my Bible commentaries. And any attempts to coerce or belittle me into using the KJV instead will be futile and ineffective.

Spinach is super-healthy and nutritious. It's packed with iron and is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, K and folate. A great source of lutein, it also helps to promote healthy vision. As well as adding it to soups and vegetable dishes or eating it cooked as a side vegetable, you can mix the tender baby leaves with rocket and watercress for use in salads.
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 45 minutes
Serves: 2
Per serving: 220 kcal, 19g protein, 25g carbs, 5g fat
- 600ml (1 pint) vegetable stock or LighterLife Savoury Stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 courgettes, thickly sliced
- 1kg (2lb) fresh spinach
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons quark or fromage frais
- snipped chives, to garnish
- Put 2 tablespoons of the stock with the soy sauce in a large heavy-based saucepan and set over a low to medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes, until softened and golden brown, taking care that it doesn't burn.
- Add the remaining stock, along with the potatoes and courgettes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Check the spinach to remove any tough stems. Add the spinach leaves to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste with black pepper.
- Purée the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return the soup to the saucepan and then heat through gently for 5 minutes.
- Ladle the hot soup into two serving bowls, swirl in some quark or fromage frais and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
- To really bring out the flavour of the spinach, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the hot soup before blending.
- If you're in a hurry, you can buy bags of prepared and washed baby spinach leaves. They will be more expensive but you won't have to spend time sorting through them and removing the stems.
- Substitute watercress for the spinach – a couple of bunches will be plenty – and enjoy the distinctive, peppery flavour.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi and welcome to my guide. Don't take it too seriously. It has the builds I tend to use and they are notably slightly different from the top rated builds. I wouldn't recommend these for high elo games. Try them out in normal and see if you tear the enemy to pieces. I've set them out as 2 team setups that might work. They are ordered in the best pick order to avoid being countered.

Well-kept and tidy
Prasat Chrung time again, this time the northwest one, sitting in the overhead sun with little shade, though tidy and well-kept, located at one of the corners of the walled city of Angkor Thom. The view over the wall looked out onto fields and cows to both right and left, though I could just make out the sandstone blocks that used to act as the wall of the long-gone moat. The track from the North Gate was straightforward except one massive break in the wall that had made the path at that point difficult to negotiate on my mountain bike. The devata in niches on the walls of the central shrine were in reasonable condition and a standing Lokeshvara, minus its face, pediment was still in situ above a grinning kala lintel. Any of the four shrines in the corner of the great city could double-up as a picnic venue, so keep that in mind if you fancy a day's walking trek along the walls of Angkor Thom. Next stop would be the West Gate that used to be the most evocative of the city's gates until the authorities decided to make it safe with enough timber to make a small forest.

One event that I never miss is the annual Greek Food Festival in Oakmont, PA. This is a wonderful event. It takes place every year the last week of June. The festival runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can find such wonderful culinary delights as Gyros, Lamb Shank, Stifado (beef stew in tomato sauce), Honey Balls, Grape Leaves, and much, much more. Prices are very reasonable. You can also wash it down with a cold beer or some Ouzo. They really do put on a nice spread of traditional Greek food at this annual festival. Be sure to mark your calendar for next year, the last weekend of June.
It really is hard to make a decision of what to get to eat at the food festival. Everything looks so good. First off, the gyros are phenomenal, and I love gyros. So, I opted to have one. Even though I probably didn't need anything else, I decided to get a lamb shank as well. However, I did split it with fellow Triplo G Chef, Geri. The shank was slow cooked in tomatoes and onions and served over rice. Wow, what a meal. For dessert, we skipped the Greek pastries and opted for the honey balls. Honey balls are small donut balls topped with honey and cinnamon. We had a great time at the festival even though it poured cats and dogs while we dined under the tent. All in all, a darn good meal under the tent. Kudos to the people of the Oakmont Greek Orthodox church for putting on such a wonderful event year in and year out!
If you would like to shoot some of your own photo-worthy food, may I recommend the Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera . It is the one that I use. If I don't have it handy, my other photos are taken with my iPhone 5. I'm sure you can tell the difference as to the quality of photos.
Have you had a great meal that you want to share with everyone? Maybe you prepared it yourself, or you enjoyed a great meal at a restaurant. If so, we'd love to see it and post it on our website. So, please take a picture and submit it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your first name, location, what it is, and why you took the picture. If you have a website, please include the web address or business; and we will be sure to mention it.

Like I said before, I personally don't care that much but it's almost always the ppl around us that influence how we think of ourselves. Yeah, blame the ppl, hahaha. See, if ppl have even nicknames of 'Gemok', 'Mok', or 'Gom Gom' dedicated for you, called you everyday by them, how can you not be influenced. Even if we're as hard as steel, some part of ourselves still somehow wanted to surrender to those kind of bad things ppl say to us. (Now, blame ourselves for putting on the white flag, haha)
I don't always like to be thin. I'm happy to have some fat on me, some ok? Some only, haha. I go for moderation. Not to be without & not to be 'swallowed' by the fat. (swallowed?seriously?)
I don't like seeing myself as a very thin person. I'd been very very thin before back then when I was doing my matriculation. Rasa macam melayang je, tak best. Whenever I accidentally run into ppl, I'll fall. & most of my colleagues think that I had some sort of chronic disease that I had to be warded or whatever.
Truth bout the ppl is, many think that being thin is healthy which in actuality isn't necessarily the case. Pernah dengar 'kurus diluar, gemuk didalam...'?... Of course, you may feel like being complimented everytime ppl pass by in shocked face saying, "Weyh, dah kuruslah!...", but somehow, huh, I dunno. Tak puas sebenaqnya kalau kita mengkuruskan diri sebab desakan & cacian2 orang, it must come from ourselves.
So, my ideal body shape is to have lean muscle & some fat on it. At least, it'll keep me warm when it's cold out there, right?... & I think ppl who're not afraid to have some fat does actually look cuter than those thin ppl. (tak bukan saya lah, orang lain, haha)
I might not care of having fat on me, but for now, I might have to change things a bit, slow down a bit. Because when the ppl starts to not being able to recognize you, that really means something. To be told, "Eh, ang dah gemuk lah!" isn't hurting you, but to be given second glimpse to be recognized is just sad. Kalau sampai orang yg jumpa tiap2 hari dah tak boleh cam kita, tu maksudnya memang dah teruk sangat lah kegemukan, haha.
Hmm, how am I going to do this?... Actually, tell ya, I've been changing my body weight & body shape for many times that some of my friends started to call me Kelly Clarkson. Asal2 dulu waktu kecik sampai lower form sekolah menengah, I'm stable, tak kurus sangat, tak gemuk jugak. But ever since the upper form when I surround myself with friends who eat a lot & the hostel cafeteria serving you food for 6 times per day, I became fat, like very very fat, like I put on another 30 kg of weight on me. Gila! Haha... Then, masuk matriculation, I became very very thin. Masuk undergraduate degree, berat naik balik. Then, jogging tiap2 petang, turun. Then, jumpa geng2 suka makan, naik balik. Then, pi gym for 1 year turun balik. Then, naik balik, jadilah macam sekarang.
Argh! I need motivation! I must do something!... Bad old behaviours gotta go!...
|I definitely don't look like that anymore currently...

Here is the presentation for the Franklin County Head Start STEAM Conference, presented March 20, 2017:
Talking STEAM
Polar Bears!
I'm Annamarie, another youth librarian at Westerville Library, guest-blogging on Cultivate Wonder! I presented Wonderworks while Robin was at ALA Midwinter. We talked about Polar Bears!
This topic was particularly pertinent because our local zoo recently hand-raised an adorable polar bear cub named Nora. This background information was a great starting point for conversation about polar bears.
After kicking off storytime with "Energy" from Nancy Stewart's Sing a Song of Science, we talked about polar bears, particularly Nora from the Columbus Zoo. After talking about how Nora moved to the Oregon Zoo, I showed a video of the three new polar bear cubs at the Columbus Zoo (not yet available for viewing).
This led to our first book, Kali's Story: An Orphaned Polar Bear Rescue by Jennifer Keats Curtis and photographed by John Gomes. This true story chronicles a baby polar bear that was rescued in Alaska after his mother died. We watched another quick video of the real-life, grown-up Kali playing at his new home at the St. Louis Zoo.
We got up and stretched with a music break. We swam around the room while the music played and jumped on an iceberg as soon as the music stopped.
After getting some wiggles out, we talked about the color of a polar bear. Polar bears are not white—their fur is clear and reflects all colors of light (making it appear white). This led to a discussion about a new vocabulary word—camouflage. We looked at six different animals on a white background and recognized that the polar bear was the hardest to see.
Then, I projected the iPad onto our Smartboard to show the Endless Alphabet app. This app shows vocabulary words and scrambles the letters across the screen for the user to drag back to the main word one at a time, helping practice letter recognition and phonological awareness. After attendees correctly identified each letter and found it on the screen, a short animated video played, displaying the definition of camouflage visually before a definition was also spoken aloud. This was my first time using this app with a group, and I was thrilled at how much the group seemed to enjoy this unique activity.
After a quick stretch break (Polar Bear, Polar Bear Turn Around), we talked about where polar bears live using a globe. Since Kali, the polar bear in our book, was from Alaska, we quickly recognized that Alaska was a polar bear habitat. We talked a little about north and south and identified some other animals that call the Arctic Circle home. We also talked about how penguins do not live with polar bears and why that might be.
As a last literacy activity, I used the discussion of other Arctic animals to transition into my second book, Polar Bear, Arctic Hare: Poems of the Frozen North by Eileen Spinelli. I read aloud a few poems from this book, including "Polar Bear Family."
After that, it was time to break up into our stations:
- Size Comparisons: I displayed a life-sized polar bear (10 feet long) and four life-sized polar bear paw prints (12 inches long). Attendees compared their size to a real polar bear and used rulers to practice measuring skills.
- Craft: Attendees practiced their cutting and gluing skills while making a polar bear craft. Many attendees decorated their polar bear and its habitat during this process.
- Blubber Experiment: Small groups of 3-5 preschoolers at a time visited me at the blubber water station. We put our hands in a big tub of ice water. As expected it was very cold! No one could keep their hand in the water very long. We then tested three pre-packaged insulators: Styrofoam packing chips, cotton balls, and shortening. When we put our hands in these bags, and then put the bags in the water, our hands stayed warm—similar to how blubber keeps a polar bear warm in freezing temperatures. You can find instructions for this experiment here.
Freezing & Melting
Ideas: States of matter, reversible change – water to ice & vice versa (reversible change)
Materials: popsicles, labels, crayons, cups or bowls, spoons
As children come in, they choose a popsicle, unwrap it and put in a cup, write their name on the cup and leave the cup on a table in the window, then come back to the center for stories and songs.
Opening song: "Energy" from Nancy Stewart's Sing a Song of Science
Book: What is the World Made Of? All About Solids, Liquids and Gases by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld (selections) and/or Freezing and Melting by Robin Nelson -we passed an ice cube around and talked about how it felt holding it (cold!!) and how our hands felt after we passed it to the next person (wet — why? because it melted a little).
Talk about solids, liquids, gases & have children demonstrate each (being perfectly still, moving a little—waving arms, slowly, then excitedly for gas)
Video/Song: "Solid, Liquid, Gas" by They Might be Giants from Here Comes Science
Book: Why Did My Ice Pop Melt? By Susan Korman
Talk about liquid vs. solid
— what else melts? (chocolate . . .)
–how can you make things melt? (warm it up, put it in the sun); some things melt, others burn (reversible change vs. not reversible: paper, wood burn)
Pass around ice cube!
Song: "Rock & Roll Freeze Dance" from Hap Palmer's So Big: Activity Songs for Little Ones
Take a bite ( or a drink) of popsicle – has it melted??
How could you make it melt faster??
Suggestions included warming it up with a hairdryer and putting it in the microwave.
Book: Should I Share my Ice Cream? by Mo Willems
Song: "Ice Cream" by Asheba from Putumayo's Picnic Playground:
Musical Treats from Around the World
–Free dance with scarves
After all this waiting, it's time to eat popsicle soup!!

More with Light & Dark
As the days are getting shorter, or more accurately, the hours of light are getting shorter and it is dark for longer periods of time, it seemed a good time to explore light and dark. I've explored similar topics before, but this was a different combination of books and activities.
We began with Lemony Snicket's The Dark. It's October, and I appreciate that this book can empower children to overcome their fear of the dark. We talked about who sleeps with a nightlight, and how the character uses a flashlight.
Then I shared Oscar and the Moth by Geoff Waring, one of a series of fantastic preschool science books featuring Oscar the Cat. It talks about animals that come out at night (like the moth) as well as animals that make their own light (like the anglerfish). And it talks about making shadows, which was one of our activities. I set up the projector on a blank wall, and the kids and parents made shadows. Such a simple activity — and it was so popular!
We also painted with light, using iPads and flashlights. See this post about how to paint with light.We used the LongExpo Free app (which works on iPad as well as iPhone), though there is probably a newer app as well (recommendations welcome!)
Another station was a light table — fun to mix colors and build in the dark!
We also put on our safety glasses and explored with squishy circuits. We had done a dance (Hap Palmer's Switch on the Music) and explored electricity with an electricity stick. The main idea was that circuit sounds like circle — and the electricity has to go in a circle in order to work. We can see that when the lights light up! See this post on squishy circuits.
That's how we ROLL!
For our second summer science program we explored Wheels & Gears. In addition to the stations mentioned in the post from last year, we added two stations featuring Lego Duplo Simple Machines:* a spinning top with a crank and a hockey playing robot. Check them out in the photo gallery below!
*Note: These were purchased with a Target Education Grant received in 2014.
Fun in the Sun (or the Magic of UV!)
The first Summer Science program was a great success! We learned about the sun, UV rays, and talked about ways to stay safe in the sun.
I read The Sun, Our Nearest Star by Franklyn M. Branley (HarperCollins, 2002 ) from the Let's Read and Find Out Science Series to introduce some ideas about the sun (it's a star!), size and space, and the life-giving qualities as well as the reasons to be careful. Next we made a circle and walked (orbited) to "Sally Go Round the Sunshine."
Next I read part of The Sun by Nuria Roca, Carol Isern and Rocio Bonilla (Barron's, 2014) The friendly narrative tone of Alice and Oliver's experiences with the sun reinforced the earlier ideas about size, space, light, heat and UV rays. Most kids can relate to the frustration of an ice cream melting on a hot day! To give them an idea of scale, I brought in volleyball to represent the sun and a pin to show the relative size of the earth (as described in the book). Children passed the volleyball around, while I showed them the pin.
But the idea of invisible light from the sun we cannot see? A much harder idea to grasp. To try to "show" them the UV light, I brought in UV beads. These are clear, but turn colors when exposed to UV. I had asked them how they protect themselves from the sun. Answers included hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, and staying in the shade. I showed a short sun safety video featuring the Minions, which repeated these ideas.
With pipe cleaners, pony beads, and UV beads, we created UV friends (or cats, or dogs, or bracelets . . . etc.). This turned out to be a great activity for fine motor skills as well as a science experiment.
After construction, the kids took their creations outside to watch the UV beads turn colors in the sun:
"Is it magic?" one three year old asked her mom. Next, the young scientists were given an assortment of materials they could use to test if they blocked UV rays: sunscreen, light and dark cloth, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and sunglasses. The beads change back to clear about a minute after being taken inside (or covered up — away from UV light.)
This was a fun way to make the invisible rays of the sun visible to the kids. Many tried all the options and left thinking of other things they might try at home to see if they block UV light. Hopefully they will also remember to wear their hats and sunscreen this summer while having fun in the sun!
Note: This science storytime was inspired by and based on the activity "UV Kid" from the Science-Technology Activities and Resources (STAR_Net) program, developed by the Lunar and Planetary Institute, which I learned about through the workshop "Creating Out-of-this-World Children's Science Programming With Free NASA Resources" at NASA workshop at ALA Midwinter, January 10, 2016.
Encouraging Fledglings
Every year I introduce birdwatching to families in our Wonderworks (STEAM) Storytime ) and encourage them to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count. This year's bird count is this weekend — February 12-15, 2016 — which is a long weekend for many people. My interest stems from my family's experience of participating in Project Feederwatch, in which you count birds in your yard over a series of months (November-April). The Great Backyard Bird Count is a great introduction to citizen science as it requires only a very brief time commitment. It takes place over four days, but you can count just once, just for 15 minutes, or every day. You can count on a visit to a park or on a wintery hike, or in your backyard. Sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (the same folks as sponsor project Feederwatch) the Audubon Society, and Bird Studies Canada. It's grown into a global phenomenon, as you can see from a map showing last year's participants, who counted over 8 million individual birds.This year they are encouraging experienced birdwatchers to introduce young people (fledglings) to birdwatching — to take the pledge to fledge. It's easy to join in this worldwide phenomenon — instructions and bird guides are available online.
In storytime, I read Simon James The Birdwatchers and About Birds: A Guide for Children by Catherine Sill, illustrated by John Sill (2nd editon; Peachtree Publishers, 2013)
Next the children made birdfeeders with paper towel rolls, crisco, and birdseed.
I also introduced children to the Merlin Bird Identification app (free, iOS & Android) which helps identify birds. It is very child-friendly, requiring very little reading. The app asks for the size of bird, then gives a range for them to choose from. It ask for up to 3 colors spotted, and where the bird was seen (on the ground, at a feeder, in flight). After a few questions, the app returns a list of possible birds sighted.
For each bird, it includes bird calls as well. We identified one bird together — I told them I had seen one on my way into work that day. I had four iPads with the apps for them to experiment with, with their grownup's help. Some used a bird book to test out the app; others used the Great Backyard Bird Count poster to see if they could identify the bird depicted (a nuthatch!)
The interaction between parents and children was genuine and all seemed to really enjoy the activity — one even downloaded it for their phone before leaving the program!
Why don't you try out Merlin & join the world in counting birds this weekend? It's fun and easy and you'll be contributing to science!
Exploring Bridges with the Three Billy Goats Gruff
We began with The Three Billy Goats Gruff, illustrated by Janet Stevens. Check out the eldest of the Gruff brothers, one of the hippest, toughest brothers I've seen in a picture book!
We tapped the "trip-trap" sound of the goats hooves on the bridge, getting louder as the brothers grow in size, finally hitting the floor to make the loudest "trip-trap" sounds with the biggest brother. The children enjoyed repeating the sounds when we acted the story out after reading the book.
Next I read part of Ken Robbins Bridges (Dial, 1991), a lovely nonfiction picture book with evocative hand-colored photographs and short and very informative explanations for why bridges are built different ways. The book includes London's famous Tower Bridge, which features a drawbridge (bascule) that goves up to allow boats to pass underneath. We watched a simple animation of a drawbridge, and then built our own drawbridges out of cereal boxes. It is a fairly simple project, but cutting cardboard, punching holes, and measuring the yarn required adult assistance.
It was great to see the interactions taking place — lots of scaffolding here, with parents guiding little hands to thread the yarn through, having them help measure the length, etc. And when it's over, pull the yarn to lift the bridge and put it over your shoulder to carry home. One child used his portable bridge to carry a library book safely home!
Bones, Bones, Bones
One of my favorite science storytimes is all about bones. (See:"The Foot Bone's Connected to the Ankle Bone") Partly because I just love S.D. Schindler's outrageously funny illustrations for Skeleton Hiccups. This year I added a new find: Body Bones by Shelly Rotner and David A. White (Holiday House , 2014), with stunning illustrations that allow children to literally see inside people and animals — to see how bones support and structure living things.
The follow up activity is one I remember from my own childhood: lying down on a huge sheet a paper (huge from my childhood memory) and having someone draw around you so there is an outline of your body. Accompanying adults are encouraged to participate in Wonderworks, and activities like this require it.
I love the interaction that you can see going on in the photographs below. I provided a basic outline of a skeleton, and many children and parents chose to use these as a reference, to draw in the bones where they go.
I overheard great conversations like, "yes, that's where your ribs go, but I think they are a little longer than that. Can you make them longer?"
I think the Body Bones book encouraged more children in the past to try this. One child did bones on one side of the paper, then flipped it over and drew their clothes!
As in the past, I was delighted by the range and variety of their creativity.
Would you like to live in a treehouse?
At the Books & Blocks program at Westerville Library, we explored treehouses.
We read Jack and Jill's Treehouse by Pamela Duncan Edwards (HarperCollins, 2008), which is written in a cumulative "house that Jack built" style.
Then we read part of Adventure Homes by Gerry Bailey (Crabtree, 2013) which has a great outline of the structure of a treehouse, and includes information and photographs of the Korawai and Kombai people of Papua New Guinea, who are known as "the tree people" because they build their houses high in the forest trees.
Afterwards, the children built with a variety of materials: wooden blocks, legos, magnetic blocks and large cardboard bricks.
They also used ramps and balls, envisioning having slides to descend from the treehouse.

There have been some comments popping up that people want more tutorials and when checking the hit count on some of our pages, I noticed that many have barely seen the light of day. So here are a few step-by-step topics you might want to check out.
How To: Create Dynamic XAML with LINQ to XML - shows how to dynamically create a TextBlock from an XElement object.
How To: Handle the Checked Event - shows how to handle the different CheckBox events.
Walkthrough: Binding to a Collection - shows how to bind a ListBox to a collection of objects using a DataTemplate.
Walkthrough: Calling JavaScript from Managed Code - shows how to invoke client script in your HTML from managed code.
How To: Perform Isolated Storage Tasks - shows various isolated storage tasks such as creating an isolated store, creating a file system, writing to a file and deleting a file.
When you see a title in the documentation that starts with "How To" or "Walkthrough," that's your cue to expect detailed instructions, heavy on the code, for performing a task. You can find more of these types of topics in the Beta 2 documentation set and we're currently writing even more for the next doc update. In addition to the MSDN documentation, we have a variety of Quickstarts on Silverlight.net. And don't forget, if you are looking for a topic and can't find it, let us know. We're always taking suggestions for new content.

Here is the preliminary agenda.
Like last year, we will be holding a one day public conference with presentations from AMQP designers and implementers - this makes it easy for delegates to fly in and out on the same day and was appreciated by many attendees last year. We also intend to add a workshop flavour to this year's conference to make it more interactive, and will have double the capacity available for attendees.

So pencil Tuesday June 8th into your diary; transform the world of middleware, meet interesting people and a enjoy a great venue!

Itinerary and booking details will follow later this month.

Any one of the machines in between could have been Windows, OpenVMS, Linux or HP-UX.

For fun we've (Pieter H. and friends) opened a live Zyre server, which accepts unauthenticated connections (we'll probably lock it down at a later stage).

This means it's possible to try RestMS apps without installing anything except perhaps some Perl modules, if you want to use the Perl RestMS class[1].

I've written a blog entry[2] that shows how to write a trivial micro- blogging service in Perl using this class. To save you the click, here is what the publisher looks like:

use RestMS ();
my $domain = RestMS::Domain->new (hostname => "live.zyre.com"); my $feed = $domain->feed (name => "ublog", type => "fanout"); my $message = RestMS::Message->new; $message->content (shift); $message->headers (name => "Jeep Nine Thirst"); $feed->send ($message);

This is a nice example of how RestMS maps to a clean class structure.

PS: it is worth pointing out that BC did all the work and JA just did the announcements!John Appshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205145662022092073.post-27863478515104090752008-11-19T18:51:00.003+01:002008-11-24T09:56:50.361+01:00OpenAMQ on OpenVMSThe place to come for announcements, questions, reporting bugs, telling us what you are doing with the OpenAMQ implementation of the AMQP specification on OpenVMS, and so forth.
We chose OpenAMQ due to its relatively long history, the fact that it has been used in production for quite some time and the help and advice we are receiving from iMatix, the implementers of OpenAMQ.

It is important to note that this initial port is not intended for use in production. Rather, it is for you to get a feel for the product on OpenVMS and let us know what you find, be it bugs, suggestions or whatever - software development kit, if you will.

Further, no work has been done so far on tuning and performance testing of OpenAMQ on OpenVMS. In fact, the current port on OpenVMS is single-threaded. We are working on removing this restriction and will post progress in this blog as we make it.

Enough said. Time for everyone to download the kit and start working!John Appshttps://email@example.com
