At Capital University you'll find the support, encouragement, and resources you'll need to be exactly who you are meant to be. Today. And tomorrow. At your side will be the Capital Family, or "#capfam" as it's affectionately called by our students. These are the professors who are every bit as dedicated to your success as you are. Staff that care about your experience, from the expert counselor advising you in the financial aid office to the chef in our dining hall who creates your favorite meal. Fellow students who become your lifelong friends and our newly expanded Office of Diversity and Inclusion, which fosters an appreciation and respect for the culture, history, and traditions of all people. This is Capital.
What college should be
Our location in the Columbus, Ohio, neighborhood of Bexley provides the perfect backdrop for your college years. The majority of Capital students live in our residence halls and enjoy shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater within a five-minute walk from campus. Bexley is your home away from home. But look to your left on Main Street and you'll see the Columbus skyline peeking through the trees, as the 15th-largest city in the country is just 10 minutes away. It's an extension of our campus for sports, shopping, music, festivals, and dining, as well as internship and job opportunities. Our location is truly the best of both worlds.

Know what you want your career to be? We'll help feed your passion. If you're not sure yet, that's okay too. Two-thirds of our students change their focus at least once while at Capital. We have more than 60 majors and over 50 minors. We've listed some here, but between the double majors, triple minors, and the undeclared, there are more options than we've got room for. Which is a good problem to have.

Sims-Walker vents frustration with no-catch games
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-0 this season when receiver Mike Sims-Walker doesn't touch the ball.
It's surely coincidental, but nonetheless frustrating for quarterback David Garrard's go-to guy.
"You always want to be involved in the offense, especially when you think of yourself as a No. 1 receiver in this league," Sims-Walker said Wednesday. "You work hard at it to be that guy and you go out there and you really don't get the opportunity to show it."
Sims-Walker went without a catch in the season opener, a 24-17 victory against Denver, and finished with no receptions in Sunday's 31-28 win over Indianapolis.
He brushed aside the first goose egg as a fluke and even joked about in the post-game locker room. He wasn't nearly as amused after getting left out of the boxscore a second time.
"I've never been a negative guy to try to make a fuss about it," said Sims-Walker, who led the team with 63 catches for 869 yards and seven touchdowns last year. "I'm not going to sit around and cry or anything. But I'm a receiver and I catch the ball. This is a production-based business, and not even getting targeted is frustrating.
"I know I can play. I know I get open. I know I can catch the ball pretty good and make plays. I'd like to be more involved, but I don't make the play calls around here and I don't make the decisions to throw the ball. It's kind of like it's out of my control. I've just got to roll with the punches for right now."
Sims-Walker insisted defenses haven't done anything special to stop him. They haven't put their best cornerback on him and haven't rolled a safety over the top of him. He said there's no reason for his production problems.
Sims-Walker might even make a bigger deal out of it if the Jaguars (2-2) were losing. But, as he pointed out, it's hard to complain when you don't contribute and the team wins.
Regardless, it's getting to him a little bit.
"If it don't get to you, you don't love what you're doing," Sims-Walker said. "It's going to get to you no matter who you are. Even if I was the No. 3 receiver and I didn't get a target, I'd still be mad. You do all that work and you don't get rewarded. But we're winning, so I can't really say much. I've just got to live with it I guess."
Coaches and teammates believe Sims-Walker's shutouts were anomalies and his numbers will pick up, maybe even this Sunday at Buffalo (0-4).
"I want to get the ball to him more because he is a dynamic player and we can't not throw the ball to him," Garrard said. "We've got to be able to make sure he gets catches, just so we can continue to keep his confidence high and so we're giving the ball to one of our better players.
"We're not going to force anything or force the ball to him. There's ways to get him the ball and we've just continue to work at getting him the ball."
Coach Jack Del Rio placed some of the blame on Garrard, saying Sims-Walker was open against the Colts but the quarterback didn't get him the ball.
"We're asking our quarterback to be in rhythm, get rid of the ball, be on time, be decisive," Del Rio said. "Mike was open a couple of times and we didn't hit him. There was an opportunity to do that. But you don't want to stop being in rhythm to go looking for Mike.
"It's a team game. Ultimately, we score 31, we win, we're all happy. There were some opportunities to get Mike involved. He's a good player for us. We want to keep him involved and that's just a coincidence that it went off that way. He's actually played pretty well."
Despite his reception-free games, Sims-Walker has 12 catches for 139 yards and a touchdown this season. Tight end Marcedes Lewis has almost identical numbers (12 for 138 yards and three TDs), while Mike Thomas leads the team (17 for 207 yards) and Tiquan Underwood (4 for 63) has emerged as the deep threat.
Making the situation worse, Sims-Walker has been getting bashed on Twitter. He's heard from opponents, fans and fantasy football owners who clearly expected more.
"That's the worst part of it," Sims-Walker said. "I've never seen this many bitter people in my life. They're calling me everything in the book: 'I'm benching you, you're this, you're that, you're trash.' It kind of hurts a little bit.
"I have no control over it. I wish they could understand. It ain't like I'm out there dropping balls or not getting open. You watch the film. I'm doing everything I can possibly do to put myself in the right position, but it's just not working for me right now."

Any of the three mentioned might be too much for the office (no more than 2 sprays max). But, if I had to choose one I would go with L' Instant Extreme.
I got a sample of silver mountain water which I never used. Was tempted to get a full bottle once I tried it for a longer period of time today, but not sure if it is a good winter scent. I have GIT, MI and Aventus and they still work great, but I thought it is time to try another good house. So the choice comes down to TV and Guerlain L'instant Extreme or Derby which also got very good reviews here. If I like the creeds mentioned above, but am not impressed with Dior Ferenheit (a bit choking especially for the office), and on ther other hand can live with Bleu de Chanel, which of the three (TV, instant extreme and Derby) would be my best bet? Please don't tell me to just get another Creed as I am quite determined to try other houses. Wearable at office is important. Thanks all in advance!
Any of the three mentioned might be too much for the office (no more than 2 sprays max). But, if I had to choose one I would go with L' Instant Extreme.
Derby would be my choice.
Tobacco Vanille !!
Another one for LIDGE.
LIDGE would be the most versatile of the group you propose IMHO.
3 sprays of Derby, no contest! My SOTD at office!

For more regular use, LIDGE. TV for special ocassions. Derby... I haven't had the pleasure.
LIDGE:Orangey citrusy drape with cacao powder
or or tobacco vanille to me their is no comparison , TV all the the way out of the two although neither rock my boat....Cheerios
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Seconding LIDGE.
Never tried Derby, but LIDGE > TV, imo. Altough, this is the last scent I would wear to an office.
Derby of those three for sure.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie

I'd go with Derby

I'd have to go for LIDGE as an office scent. I think TV makes too much of a statement if even slightly over applied, it is extremely potent. My favourite of the three is Derby by a long way but I wouldn't waste it in an office environment, it is far too magnificent and deserves special occasions/intimate dates with loved ones. All IMHO of course!
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
I like and own all three, but Derby is my favorite in this group.
I don't think TV, and LIDGE are office friendly, they're really strong. Derby would be my choice for the office, but you have to like old school leather scents. Other than that, have a look at LIDG (not extreme). More suited for the office than LIDGE I think.
I find myself reaching for L'Instant Eau Extreme often now that the weather is turning cool. Hard to beat it when you want to project a warm, sweet-ish, elegant yet decidedly manly vibe at the office. Derby is something I wear for my own enjoyment, it's perfect for a nice autumn walk or a quiet day at home. I know many say that one shouldn't concern himself with how others may perceive your frag but to me LIDGE is a far more safer office frag. It's like wearing ouds - in solitude I'll often appreciate a good Indian oil that's full of character and vitriol but to the office I'd wear something that's not going to distract from my enjoyment of it by making people looking around in puzzlement.
LIDGE is more likely to appeal to more people than Derby but it's still an awesome frag, by an order of magnitude better and more alive than the majority of today's offerings that are composed-by-numbers and lack any soul whatsoever. I don't enjoy TV so I don't qualify to comment on it.
LIDGE would be the most suitable
Current favourite: Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Tobacco Vanille without a doubt.
Derby will be my choice...
All three are well liked by most people.
Derby, hands down. This is by far the most sophisticated, classy (and classic) leather scent, perfect for office, just don't overspray it, it's pretty strong.
For the office, Derby would be my first choice, followed by LIDGE (very sparingly). I would not ever wear TV as an office scent.

A York MP Calls for King Richard III to be Buried in York
7:28am 8th March 2013
York Central MP Hugh Bayley raised the issue of the reburial of King Richard III in Parliament in a question to the Church Estates Commissioner, Sir Tony Baldry. Mr Bayley asked him whether he would meet with representatives from York and Leicester to discuss King Richard's burial.
Sir Tony pointed out that Mr Bayley had secured an Adjournment Debate to discuss Richard III's reburial and the licence issued by the Ministry of Justice. This debate will take place next week on Tuesday 12 March. Mr Bayley will make the case that the Government should reconsider where King Richard should be laid to rest. He will be supported in the debate by Julian Sturdy, the MP for York Outer.
"Hugh Bayley (York Central) (Lab): If he will meet representatives from York and Leicester, including the deans of the cathedrals and hon. Members from both cities to discuss arrangements for the reburial of King Richard III.
The Second Church Estates Commissioner (Sir Tony Baldry): The legal position is clear. The Ministry of Justice has granted a licence to the University of Leicester, which means that it is responsible for keeping the remains of King Richard III and for their reburial. It is intended that they will be reburied in Leicester cathedral.
Hugh Bayley: In October, when we last discussed this matter, which was before it had been established that the remains were those of King Richard, the hon. Gentleman said:
"Once those tests are concluded, the nature, place and marking of any reinterment will need seriously to be considered"
I said at the time that those were wise words and that it would be wrong to bicker in this Chamber about the burial place. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the matter should now be considered by experts, taking account of the wishes that King Richard expressed during his life and the views of clergy who do not have a vested interest, people from York and Leicester and all other interested parties, so that a decision can be made?
Mr Speaker: I think that the hon. Gentleman needs an Adjournment debate so that he can develop his thoughts fully. He cannot speak to Richard III about it, I am afraid, but he may be able to address the House.
Sir Tony Baldry: The hon. Gentleman has an Adjournment debate on this issue on Tuesday, and I suggest that he put those issues to Ministry of Justice Ministers then. As for the Church, we believe that in a situation such as this the remains should be reburied in the nearest possible church, which, as it happens, is Leicester cathedral."
Hugh Bayley MP says:
"When the licence was issued by the Ministry of Justice and the archaeologists began their excavation they did not know they would find the last Plantagenet King of England. The licence refers to 'persons unknown'. Now we know the bones are those of King Richard III the Government should reconsider where his body is to reburied. I congratulate the University of Leicester for finding Richard and they are responsible for keeping the remains safe but people who have an interest - including King Richard's family, the cities of York and Leicester, the Church of England as well as the archaeologists - should all be involved in deciding where he should be finally laid to rest."

Arab League finance ministers recommended Saturday that heavy sanctions be instigated against Syria for its violent crackdown to civilian protests in recent months, reported CNN. The proposal for sanctions came as Syria missed Friday's deadline to allow Arab League observers to monitor the government's response to the civil unrest.
BBC News reported the economic sanctions include freezing the country's assets, halting dealings with the Syrian bank, suspension of commercial flights, and a travel ban on senior officials. The sanctions will not apply to essential commodities or remittances.
More from GlobalPost: Syria to allow in Arab League observers - reports
According to the Los Angeles Times, the sanctions must be ratififed by the Arab foreign ministers, and that vote could come as early as Sunday.
This is not the first action the Arab League has taken against Syria and its president, Bashar al-Assad. Earlier this month, the 22-member body suspended Syria's membership, Reuters reported. The United Nations estimates that more than 3,500 people have been killed in the 8-month uprising against al-Assad.
More from GlobalPost: Syria suspended from Arab League, organization confirms
Also on Saturday, Syria buried 22 members of its armed forces, including six elite pilots, reported the San Francisco Chronicle. The government, in a resounding refrain, said these deaths prove that the uprising is led by terrorists rather than Syrians seeking reform. At least 13 civilians were killed on Saturday.

Courtyard by Marriott offers comfy stay close to Wichita Old Town attractions
The Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Wichita's Old Town district is an excellent location and stay. It's a few steps from the retail and entertainment district.
The hotel rests on the spot of an old warehouse. The hotel documents the progress of renovating the site through a series of photos near the lobby.
We hadn't stayed at a Courtyard until this trip, but truly enjoyed ourselves. We checked in late – about 11 p.m. – following a day of sightseeing in Kansas' largest city.
Our room was very nice. We had a king-sized bed. The work station was well laid out. The work station was roomy. The chair was quite comfortable. I upload photos every night during trips due to a family mishap during our Alaska trip a few years ago. Our youngest daughter's memory card became corrupted overnight. It wasn't a good experience. The free internet service is outstanding.
The room had a chair and ottoman in one corner, so it was a nice room to relax in.
As we checked in, the lobby proved to be inviting. People were watching a late football game. A big screen TV, sofa and comfortable chairs are located near the entrance. It looked inviting, but we were beat by this time.
The check-in area is different than your standard hotel. Instead of one large counter, the Courtyard has a couple of check-in stands. The staff was professional and friendly.
Following a very restful night, we explored the hotel.
The restaurant area is located in the lower level. They have a breakfast buffet available daily, but it's extra from the room cost.
A waterfall is located in the lower level. At the top of the water feature is a clock on the fifth floor.
A Starbucks (yes, please!) is located on site. We grabbed a couple drinks and split a muffin. We enjoyed our coffee while reading the local newspaper.
The hotel has a fitness center on site, as well as airport shuttle service. The hotel also has meeting space available.
Please ensure you check out parking when checking in. the hotel has onsite parking available for a mall fee. They also offer free parking, but it isn't onsite.
We enjoyed our stay at the Courtyard and would recommend it for visits. We really liked that it's located in Old Town and is so close to the Old Town businesses.
For more information on the hotel, please visit its website at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ictdt-courtyard-wichita-at-old-town/.
Disclaimer: Thank you to Wichita Visitor Bureau for the complimentary stay. However, all opinions and views are ours.

More often than not in 2007, when the Texas Tech baseball team has found itself down by more than a couple of runs in a game, completing a comeback has been hard to do.
After Tuesday, however, that trend might be changing.
Led by a career day from sophomore right fielder Roger Kieschnick, team home run leader Kyle Martin and a superb relief effort by Paul Gonzalez, the Red Raiders rallied from a six-run deficit to take a 10-8 win over New Mexico, bucking what had been a trend by the Red Raiders of rallying from early holes but unable to complete the comeback.
"It helps out a lot, definitely our confidence," said Kieschnick, who went 5-for-5 with two home runs, a triple, two doubles and four RBIs against the Lobos. "Whenever we're down 8-2 and capable of coming from behind, it helps our confidence knowing we can do that in the future, and that if we're down you can never really count us out."

That ability could get a strong test this weekend as the Red Raiders (10-4) host Cal State Northridge (10-7) for three games at Dan Law Field. The Matadors are coming off a 2-1 series win over Oklahoma State, considered a contender for the Big 12 Conference title, and did so by winning a pair of one-run games, 9-8 and 3-2.
But since starting 1-3, the Red Raiders have won eight of their last nine games. In fact, Tech's last loss before Saturday's defeat to Northern Illinois exemplified the difference between the early struggles of the team and their level of confidence now.
On Feb. 9 against Northwestern, the Red Raiders staked the Wildcats to an 8-0 lead. With four runs in the seventh and three more in the eighth, Tech pulled to within a run, but watched as Northwestern put the game away with four runs in the top of the ninth.
Then, this past Saturday in the loss to Northern Illinois, the Huskies jumped out to a 5-2 lead and rallied to tie the game at 5 in the seventh. NIU scored three in the ninth, then sealed the win with the Red Raiders bringing the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the inning.

But now, after coming back and getting the game-winning runs on Martin's team-leading sixth home run of the season, the Red Raiders may have finally gotten over the hump, though it had to do as much with the effort on the mound as it did scoring runs.
Gonzalez, who in his previous appearance took the loss against Northern Illinois, was dominant against New Mexico, tossing four no-hit innings of relief and retiring 12 of the 13 batters he faced.
"What Gonzalez did turning it around was huge," Tech head coach Larry Hays said. "When you have a team going out there scoring every inning, that's hard to stop, and he didn't just stop it, he put an end to it. Then I felt good that our offense kept hanging in there. Kieschnick and Martin had huge days and everybody else contributed in some way. It was definitely something we needed."
Not that the ability to rally from behind won't be necessary down the road, especially in Big 12 play, but the Red Raiders would much prefer to keep alive a better trend - they are 7-0 on the season when scoring first and are undefeated when leading after the sixth inning.
"We just have to build from here," Kieschnick said. "We've got a lot of work to do and we've got to keep getting better on all sides of the ball. We've played a lot of close games this year, some good and some bad, but we've got to learn to get head and stay ahead early. It's a long season and we've got a lot of games to play, so we have to continue to work hard and get better as we play."

Amazingly, I've never been to Sri. I'm trying to go this saturday, around mid-afternoon. I've seen some posters comment on what appears to be different cooks at different hours resulting in varying degrees of satisfaction . Am I short changing myself by not going during prime time saturday night when I would imagine the "top" chef(s) will be cooking? Or is this a silly myth?
Also, what's the current alcohol situation? Liquor License? BYOB? Corkage fee?

The Travel HoodiePillow lets you stay incognito in flight, while keeping your neck and head well supported.
How it works
With the look of a hooded sweatshirt and the functionality of an inflatable neck pillow, it's a decidedly unusual airline accessory. I keep it under wraps until well settled in my seat, then with a few puffs, blow it up and drape it around my neck. When the hood is up and over my eyes, and the drawstrings tightened, I've successfully blocked out excess light and my noisy neighbour.
Pros and cons
Expect to get curious looks from passengers and flight attendants. The hood is more comfortable than (and equally effective as) an eye mask, and germaphobes will appreciate the extra layer between them and the headrest. It keeps me warm on a chilly flight, but if you get claustrophobic, you'll want to loosen the drawstrings.
Final verdict
A cozy way to get some shut-eye on overnight flights. And because it's handwashable, the fleecy cover stays fresh after multiple uses.

Stock #387-DFW
Engine: 502 CID V8
Transmission: 4 Speed Automatic

Body Style: Coupe
Rear End: Currie 9
Gears: 3.73
Exterior Color: Galaxy Grey
Interior Color: Beige
For sale in our Dallas showroom is one knock-out 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The G-Body Chevrolets are some of the most popular cars to modify. However, so many of these cars are destined to be smashed on the side of a drag strip. This G-Body is something special. It has been the recipient of a 5 year complete frame off restoration with a simple goal in mind: be the best G Body around. It has it all, the show, and the go.
The show part is easy when you start with an 87 Monte Carlo as the canvas. The House of Colors Galaxy Grey that drapes it has a subtle beauty to it, and it is finished off with a silver pearl clear coat. The attention to detail in this build shows through with the fuel cell in the trunk being painted to match. BG Old School chrome wheels give this Monte a fittingly old school feel, with 18x7 wheels up front, and 18x9 out back. They are wrapped in Nitto tires. Inside, the custom leather and suede ProCar Sportman racing bucket seats matches the exterior color, and are accented by red stitching. The dashboards of these cars are notoriously bland. That is why this car has been fitted with a set of sharp carbon fiber Autometer gauges, including custom mounted water temp, oil pressure, and fuel pressure gauges on the passenger side of the dash. With all of the pizzazz that the interior brings to the table, you could easily mistake this for another pokey show car, if it weren't for the B&M ratchet shifter in the center console to remind you of what hides underneath.
As mentioned, this car is not only about the show, but also the go, and a lot of it. If we were to measure the go, it comes out to around 502 cubic inches of it. That's right, pop the hood and you see a 502 Big Block Chevy built by Pro-Formance Unlimited. The engine is decked out with Dart 325cc CNC ported and polished heads, a Comp hydraulic roller cam, Eagle forged crank and rods, SRP 10.5:1 compression pistons, Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap intake manifold, and a Holley 870 4 barrel carburetor. When it is all said and done, this beast cranks out an earth shattering 550+ hp. Those aforementioned Nittos won't even know what hit them when the skinny pedal hits the floor. Evacuating those 502 CI's of air is a set of Hooker Super Comp ceramic coated headers, with a complete 3" stainless steel exhaust with Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers. That B&M shifter we talked about earlier is hooked up to a TCI built 700R4 with a 3,000 rpm stall converter, which then spins a Currie Ford 9" posi-trac rear end with 3.73 gears.
Part of the point of this build was to make the car proficient at not only straight line racing, but also autocross. One drive, and that becomes extremely obvious. Name a suspension component, front or rear, and it is likely Hotchkiss, including the trailing arms, sway bars, and springs. Bringing all of this power to a halt is easily accomplished by the SSBC performance disc brakes, both front and rear. Trust us when we say this car handles like something at least 20 years its junior. It WILL surprise you with how it drives, and in a very pleasant way.
This really is a do it all car, whether it be hitting the shows, the strip, or even the track. If you are a fan of G-Body cars, you will not want to miss this.

But, not to fear, I am hear now. And CoS really picked up for me in the second half. I just needing to get past the NOTHING HAPPENING, with a little bit of creepy sprinkled throughout. And don't get me wrong, I like creepy. Creepy spiders, creepy 50 Shades of Dobby scenes (stop beating that house elf and making him iron his hands!), creepy SSSSSSSSSnake scenes.
I totally know what happens in this book, but I still felt kind of surprised whenever there was a twist or turn. For instance, I spent a lot of time thinking to myself...Is Harry Potter Slytherin's heir? and OMG...TOM RIDDLE IS VOLDEMORT (which isn't really even a twist, because you find out about three seconds after meeting Tom Riddle).
I may have even spent a minute being suspicious of Percy the Prefect. So, well played JK, well played.
I am still pretty excited to be moving on to the next though.

If you have not already you should consider hiring a doula, they could help you to find other methods of pain releif when you feel you might want to give in to an epidural.. sometimes our brains are not working all that clearly at that moment and you might be able to utilize a woman who knows what it is like and who isn't in pain at the moment to give you some encouragement and help you to find new measures...?
AND... incase you are not familiar with what doulas do they are not to try to get you to have the birth THEY want... they are to assist you, and just like any OB if they don't support you then they are not worth hiring... so basically if you say "I may want an epidural" she should support that.

In total, the city forfeited more than $1.1 billion in tax revenue in 2014 alone through the 421-a program, 60% of which subsidized buildings in Manhattan
An interactive visualization (above) maps the impact of one of New York City's most expensive housing incentive programs, building by building across the city. This data is accessible to the public for the first time, thanks to MAS's work in tracking down and merging data from the Department of Finance, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the Department of City Planning and the City's Independent Budget Office.
The 421-a program is up for renewal by the New York State legislature in June 2015. Based on the findings revealed in the maps, MAS urges that the program cannot be renewed as is.

Hey Book Nerds! :D How are you all doing today? ^.^ Books and things are starting to arrive in the post for my birthday next week, it's so exciting. ^.^ I finished reading Eve by Anna Carey yesterday, and it was such a FANTASTIC book! I'm posting my review on Thursday, so don't forget to check that out. :) I also popped into town today, and I found two books I've been wanting for ages in one of my local Charity Shops. I was so pleased! :D That's all for today, I'll talk to you guys again tomorrow. ^.^
"The last day I would have chosen - the last day I deserved - would have involved more chocolate. Significantly more. Dark. Milk. White. Bittersweet. Olive infused. Caramel filled. Truffle. Ganache. There would have been cheese, too, the soft, runny kind that stinks up a room as it dribbles down your throat. I would have lay in bed all day, eating the food I can no longer eat, listening to the music I no longer care to hear, feeling.
- Page 03, "Skinned (Cold Awakening #1)"
by Robin Wasserman.
I know there are more than two teasers this week, but I felt like all of this section of text should be shown. ^.^ I started reading this book this morning, so I'm only a few pages in. Unfortunately, because of this, I haven't really got an opinion on whether I like it as of yet. :P The cover is really cool, though! I'm sure it's going to be a great read and I can't wait to continue it. :) Have you read Skinned before? Let me know! ^.^
What are your teasers for this Tuesday? Leave me a comment or a link to your blog post and I'll be sure to check it out! :D Happy Reading. (:


text: Faith and Trust in God I believe that faith and trust go hand in hand. They are like a one-two punch. First we must have faith that God exists, that He is who the Bible says He is, and that we are truly saved under the shed Blood of His Son Jesus Christ. However, there is now one more big step we must take after we have this kind of faith in God. Once we are saved, then we must be willing to fully surrender our entire life over to God the Father so that He can then enter us into His perfect plan and destiny for our life. God has a purpose and a plan for each person's life. Our life is no longer our own. We have been bought at a price and God now wants to do something very specific with our life. Many Christians already know this, but we are still having a very hard time in actually trusting God to handle their lives for them, in it's entirety. Even though we know God is totally perfect and that He can perfectly handle, control and direct our lives much better than we can,we are still having a hard time in making that leap, in clearing that final hurdle to completely turn the reigns of our life over to God the Father for Him to fully handle. There's something in the human make up that makes us still want to be in control of certain things in their life. To any Christian who is having a hard time in clearing this final hurdle with God, we must make a final decision ,sooner or later, as to who is going to run our life, Us or God. And the longer we wait, and the longer we keep from making this final decision, the more years we are going to lose in this life in being able to produce any real lasting fruit in the Lord. For those of us whose final hurdle is this trust factor - we simply have to do what Peter did when he stepped out of the boat to start walking on water. We must take a big leap of faith and dive off of that cliff - and decide that we will now fully trust in God and that we will now fully follow His Holy Spirit in the direction that He will want to take our life in. No matter how bad we have been hurt in your past, and no matter how many people have hurt us in your past, we ust now learn to completely trust God with both ourselves and with our entire life. Bottom line , not only can we not trust anyone else with our life,but we can't even trust ourselves with our life because of our own imperfections and character flaws. Only God is "perfect" and thus only God can "perfectly handle" our life for us. We have to completely "let go and let God" if we want any peace, happiness, joy,in this life. To really be able to enter into this full surrender with the Lord will require us to be able to completely trust the Lord with both ourself and our entire life. If we don't learn to completely trust the Lord with both ourselves, and our entire life, then what we will find start to happen, is that we will start to hold and pull back on certain areas of our life with Him. Once we start to hold or pull back in these certain areas of our life,we will then "handcuff" God in being able to work any further in those specific areas of our life. God will not override (our will) and just take over as long as we keep holding on to whatever he is trying to take care of. He tells us his way's are higher then our way's and his thought's are higher then our thoughts, so the way he would handle things for us are totally different then the way we handle them. It would be like God would be in a tug of war with us, and he will not do that. He will step back and take his hands off the matter until we get tired of the battle, or come to our senses and realize we have just made a bigger mess out of it all. Then when we surrender and give him the reins, he will make it all turn out for our good. He can't give us anything, as long as our hands are so full that we can't reach out and receive anything. This is why we have to be willing to completely trust the Lord with every single area of our life,with no exceptions! We must let go and let "God" do the doing. We either believe he is powerful enough and wise enough to do it or we don't believe it. There is no room for doubt and believe in the same heart. One will negate the other. Learning to really trust God in the way that He wants us to fully trust Him is an all,or,nothing principle. We're either going to fully trust Him with every area of our life or we are not. The minute we start waffling and trying to straddle the fence post with Him on this issue , we will become what the Bible says is a wavering and double-minded man who will become unstable in all of his ways. If we can get to the point of fully trusting the Lord with our entire life,we need to remember one thing. The Bible says that all men and all women have sinned and have fallen way short of the glory of God. All men and all women are thus flawed and imperfect to one degree or another. As a result, we are always going to be running into people who will hurt us and who will continue to hurt us in this life. There is simply no getting away from it in this life. The Bible tells us that God the Father and Jesus Christ are totally perfect in their actual natures and personalities. The Bible says that there is no darkness in Their personalities. This means they have no evil in them like all humans have. They are thus incapable of hurting us in any way, shape or form. This means that we can completely trust the both of them to perfectly handle us, and everything else in our life. They are both totally, perfectly ,dependable because They are both totally perfect in Their actual personalities. This is why Jesus says that He has to be the Rock that we are to build our life on. If we try and build our life on what we want or what we think other people want from us, we will be building nothing but sandcastles that will perish the minute any serious storm clouds come against it. Now here are some very profound and powerful verses from Scripture showing us the extreme importance as each and everyone of us learn how to fully trust the Lord with every single area of our life. These are all major foundational verses that our walk with the Lord has to be grounded on. As you read through these Scripture verses, notice some of the incredible blessings and promises God is making to you if you can get to the point of being able to fully trust Him with your life. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5) "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass ... Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him ..." (Psalm 37:4-7) "Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon His God." (Isaiah 50:10) "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people from this time forth and forever." (Psalm 125:1) "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel ... For he held fast to the Lord; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments ... The Lord was with him; he prospered wherever he went." (2 Kings 18:5-7) "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength." (Isaiah 26:3) "A good man ... will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is established; he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies." (Psalm 112:5-8) "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him ... But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing." (Psalm 34:8-10) "He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he." (Proverbs 16:20) "The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe." (Proverbs 29:25) "But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain." (Isaiah 57:13) Thus says the Lord: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but her leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit." (Jeremiah 17:5) "Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help ... Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God ... Who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry." (Psalm 146:3-7) "He who trusts in his riches will fall ..." (Proverbs 11:28) "Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19) If you really chew and meditate on all of the above verses - you'll really be able to feel the power on the revelation that God is trying to impart to you on the importance of completely trusting Him with every area of your life. Notice some of the incredible blessings that are attached to being able to fully trust in God: There are incredible benefits and blessings we can have if we are willing to fully trust this awesome God of ours. If we really chew and meditate on all of the above verses ,we'll really be able to feel the power on the revelation that God is trying to impart to us on the importance of completely trusting Him with every area of our life. Notice some of the incredible blessings that are attached to being able to fully trust in God: You will be happy You will not walk in darkness - but in the light of God God will direct your paths in the life You will be like Mount Zion - you will not be able to moved You will prosper wherever you go You will always be yielding fruit for the Lord Your mind will be at perfect peace - you will not be afraid of evil tidings Your heart will remain steadfast in the Lord You will have no want - you shall not lack any good thing You shall be safe in your surroundings You shall possess the land and inherit the holy mountain of God Put all of these blessings together one right after the other , and we can then really start to grasp how powerful of a thing it really is to learn how to fully trust in the Lord with all of our heart and with all of our mind in this life. These types of blessings can only be found by true born-again believers who are operating in a full surrender with the Lord where we are fully trusting Him to handle both ourselves and our entire lives. Notice the very heavy language God is using in the last three verses. He is telling us that we are not to put our trust in: Princes In man in general In our own natural strength In uncertain riches and wealth We should be concentrating more on being rich in good works, and that good works are something that is actually stored up for us in the next life to come, which will be heaven! Works cannot get us saved as the Bible tells us that we can only be saved by grace through our faith in Jesus Christ. However, doing good works for the Lord will get you the bigger and better rewards, once you enter into heaven. In the above verse from Jeremiah, God literally says that "cursed" is the man who trusts in other men, or in himself and his own natural strength! He says this kind of man will be like a "shrub in the desert" where there is no real life. Many rich people have what many consider to be the "all" of this life,yet they are just like shrubs in the desert since they have no real life, no real joy and no real happiness operating in their lives. It's all temporary and only for a short time. For those of you who have really been battling with the Lord on being able to fully trust Him with your life, really chew and meditate on the above verses. For each and every Christian - there is only one way to live this life - and that is operating under a full and complete surrender with the Lord - where He is now the One who will be leading and directing our life in the specific direction that He will want it to go in. And the one thing that will kick this full surrender into full gear is our conscious choice to fully trust God with every single area of our life , holding absolutely nothing back from Him! If you can learn how to stay in this full surrender with the Lord on a regular and non-wavering basis throughout the course of your life - and have complete and total trust in Him to perfectly handle our life for us, then we will enter into what the Bible calls a true peace that will pass all human understanding. We will enter into a "God-bubble" where true peace, love, soundness-of-mind, happiness and a joy and zest for living will be ours on a regular basis. Granted, we will all go through various trials and tribulations as we plow through this earthly life. But if we will continue to hold fast to the Lord in our daily walk with Him and refuse to pull out of this full surrender with Him, no matter how bad things may get from time to time, we can still have this incredible peace of mind through the worst of times. This is something that the Holy Spirit will supernaturally give to us if you will continue to walk close with the Lord and continue to place all of our trust in Him. The Bible is truly the inspired and infallible Word of our Holy God and we can completely rely on what all of the above verses are trying to tell us. These verses are giving us a major, and I mean a major, spiritual secret that can dramatically change and alter the course of our life if we are willing to implement these truths into our walk with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

BOSTON — The rap against Joe Thornton as captain of the Boston Bruins was that he could be too laid-back. He didn't show enough intensity. His internal fire didn't burn brightly enough, or hot enough.
More than five years after his trade to the Sharks, and with Thornton now wearing the "C" on a teal jersey, that perception remains. But Thornton, and those around him, say reality is much different from the image.
Easygoing Jumbo Joe is perfectly capable of screaming and throwing gear around.
"Oh yeah," Thornton said. "But understand something: We don't show you guys anything. You guys only see the top of the iceberg. I keep it that way on purpose."
In his view, the media — and by extension, the public — don't need to see what goes on behind closed doors.
"It's our room, and it should stay that way," said Thornton, who will be making his third visit to the city he called home for eight seasons when the Sharks face the Bruins in a Saturday matinee.
The discussion of Thornton's passion has become topic fodder again because the Sharks (27-19-6) have been maddeningly inconsistent in his first season as team captain. Despite their current 6-0-1 hot streak, the Sharks still are 16 points off last year's pace at the 52-game mark and find themselves fighting for a playoff berth.
Thornton, who describes himself as a glass-half-full guy, presents himself in public as a player who takes even the most painful losses in stride. That can result in a disconnect with fans, who have had no problem expressing their frustrations during this roller-coaster season.
But teammates say you have to look beyond the snippets from postgame interviews to see the real Thornton.
"Anyone who watches Joe play knows that, sure, he's an easygoing guy, but he has a temper," defenseman Douglas Murray said. "You can see him when he gets mad out there. It's pretty obvious.
"He certainly doesn't have the short fuse and walk around and ream guys out all the time. But there's been plenty of opportunities to yell this season, and he's done that."
Thornton, the Sharks' leading scorer with 46 points, makes no apologies for his personality.
"I am an upbeat guy," he said. "That's just the way my DNA is."
But there are exceptions. When the Sharks blew a third-period lead in a 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Dec. 29, the captain fumed over his team's soft play in front of its own net.
"Unacceptable," Thornton said before adding an uncharacteristic zinger: "Ryane Clowe would love to play in front of our net right now. It's a piece of cake."
Not exactly rage, but it was a rare show of public directness.
"You always have the same fire and passion," Thornton said. "But you can't be showing that every day or after every loss. You have to pick your spots."
Thornton took over as captain after Rob Blake retired. While Blake carried himself as an elder statesman, Thornton is a much more affable presence, cracking jokes and starting loud conversations among teammates.
But Blake always said that a hockey captain does his real work away from prying eyes. And Sharks coach Todd McLellan describes Thornton as a much different person when he's in front of the team.
"My kids absolutely love this guy," McLellan said. "They love being around him. He's a happy guy. But close the doors, put him in the locker room, and he has all the traits of what a captain needs to have. He's spoken his mind. He has taken it on the chin from other players as well. He does what he's supposed to do."
Even before Thornton was named the Sharks' captain on the season-opening trip to Sweden, he talked about how he would approach the job differently than when he was with the Bruins. Boston had named him captain at age 23 — subscribing to the theory that your best player should be the captain. Now, at age 31, a more confident Thornton is less reluctant to speak his mind — in the locker room.
"Joe does on the outside look like he's a jolly, happy guy all the time," center Scott Nichol said. "But you know what? I think this year he's been very outspoken and puts a lot of peer pressure on guys. I think that's what we need."
Mary Thornton, the captain's mother who is in Boston for Saturday's game, says that what you see publicly from her son isn't always what you get.
"He's got a good outlook," she said. "He's not a negative person. But you don't have to let everybody know what you think. Joe's like a poker player. You don't have to show your cards."
Maybe, but like all captains, Thornton ultimately will be judged on whether he has a winning hand.

text: Earlier this month I posted some of my favourite candid street portraits where I had composed the shot conventionally using the viewfinder. A good way of taking photographs of people in the street unnoticed is to 'shoot from the hip' i.e. take a picture while holding the camera away from your face. Of course taking pictures this way is a bit hit and miss but it does offer the opportunity to take photographs of strangers without them noticing. Here are a few of my better examples.

We have had our Aussie for about 1 1/2 years. In the last 2 months he has nipped at or tried to bite people that come to our house to visit. He doesn't do it to everyone and he only does it when their backs are turned. He will nip at their ankle or calf. He has NEVER tried to bite any family member but I am very worried that he might... Please help!! We LOVE our Aussie named Trigger! But from everything I've heard about dogs that start to bite it makes me worried that we will have to get ride of him. Any tips???

Help with debugging random rebooting problem
Hi There,
For some time now, my PC has been randomly rebooting itself every 15 minutes or so, though sometimes it remains on for many hours and then just reboots out of what appears to be nowhere (i.e. no obvious cause or predictability).
Running a full scan with security essentials seemed to slow this "reboot cycle" down.
I've also noticed that almost every time I attempt to apply a windows update or install new software it reboots and every time I try to access the 'backup and restore' management controls in the Control Panel on my PC it reboots without any warning...
I am able to select the software updates and download them (i.e. Windows Updates) and I can begin the installation of a new program (like Photoshop), but when it gets 99.99% to the end of the installation or update process my PC reboots out of nowhere before the installation or update can be complete or applied.
A friend suggested that it might be an incompatibly with the Motherboard and the RAM, but I've doubled checked that and they are compatible as far as I can tell.
I thought that this issue might be related to MS security essentials because it seemed to have some effect. So I successfully uninstalled it this morning and now I I've seen a blue screen (please see the attachment for details) every time it has randomly rebooted...
Is anyone familiar with this type of issue?
Does anyone have an idea of why this could be happening?
Your help is much appreciated!!

Arise My Africa
I stepped on a stained piece of land
With a pungent smell of wet blood
I asked…
Is this land Africa?
Is this the land on which I was named an orphan?
Is this the land on which I was sold a slave?
And its people still slumber in an environment of doom?
Oh how I wished…
Even a bird could whisper into my ears the name of that very land
But did I even need its inscriptions to read Africa?
When the blood I saw, was black?
When I heard the wails of their women and children in a native tongue
When the price of its humanity was still equivalent to the rattle of a gun?
Why must we destroy this beautiful Africa land?
I spent so many years on a foreign land
Where I was made to work so hard
Stoking their industrial fire and tilling their grounds
But I worked so hard
So they might not need another brother
that brother would stay with Mama Africa
and make her better
But I returned…
Only to see civil war grow
To see tears of our women and children unfold
The strength of the youth
being channeled into a weapon of self destruction
Whereas their fathers
mingle in drinking palm wine all day
All that the leaders hunger after
is how much power they gain
Even the breath of Mama Africa they will give away
Destroying the future of unborn generations today
Oh Africans!
Only if we will realize we are all the same
Only if I will start protecting coming generations from today
Hope and happiness will come our way
Never will it be too late
Until of course, from this positive course
We refrain.

Today is the big day for likers of clean air: the first day of the danish public smoking ban. That means no smoking in:
- busses, schools and institutions
- locations accessible to the public such as museums
- all workplaces, with exceptions possible in one-man offices
- indoor food serving places
In all above cases there's the possibility of assigning designated smoking areas. Additionally, cafes and pubs smaller than 40 m2 are allowed to decide a smoking policy themselves.
Honestly, I think it sounds fair: smokers can still enjoy their habit, be it outside or in smoking areas. The big difference is, now smokers have to consider non-smokers right to fresh air, where previously non-smokers had to consider smokers right to smoke anywhere.
About damn time. Now we'll see how this will affect Denmark.

I can't handle stress before drinking my coffee. I must be surrounded by peace and serenity-the kind that is catered to you in a downtown coffee shop. Norah Jones or Ray LaMontagne plays softly in the background and everyone speaks in low voices, though most are buried in some obscure and highly intellectual read or listening to podcasts of This American Life. I want my coffee poured for me and handed to me with a smile and a "have a great day."
My coffee is usually gulped in between chaotic moments. The dog dashes to the door, knocking over a kitten and bumping into me (and my full cup of coffee) on the way. Sage wakes up two hours too soon, while I race to console her before it becomes permanent. Matt rushes through the kitchen looking for the lunch that I (yet again) didn't have time to pack.
However, there are many moments of peace found in between the chaos. The birds' morning songs linger in the still, heavy air. A Blue Heron flies over our pond, croaking for its mate. The roosters crow in the coop, already jostling into position for their race to the feed tray. The goats are patiently waiting for their hay and oats. There's a rhythm out here, and one that I feel innately a part of. These real moments are far better than the conjured tranquility that coffee shops attempt to produce. This is living and breathing life--a life I'm ever thankful for.
Even though the dog is now eating garbage in the driveway.
Update: I caught the chipmunk. And the mole that the cat dragged in after that. And now said cat is in heat. Lovely.

Looking for any advice for high CPU Core Speed
So I am coming here to see if anyone may have some insight to what I have been seeing on all my systems.
Asus P6T Deluxe v2 with Core I7 920 DO
Asus P7P55D Deluxe with Core I7 870
Asus P8P67 Pro (rev 3.0) with Core I5 2500k
AsRock H77M with GM870
Here is what I found out. All my systems are at stock settings in the BIOS, no overclocking. So I was wondering one day about some stuff and I opened CPU-Z to find out my Core Speed is max'd on all systems. The 920 turbo max is 2.93GHz and that's where it is at. The 870 max turbo is 3.6Ghz and that's where it is at, and so on with the rest. So I turn turbo off and then everything drops to stock core speeds.
I ran several anti-virus checks; Kaspersky RD, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes, Avira RD, etc. even with boot virus checks and nothing comes up.
So then I went in to safe mode and CPU-Z states that all is at stock speeds. Rebooted, turned on turbo, rebooted to safe mode and still same readings. But if I reboot to a normal start up, all the various CPU's I have are all on turbo.
Does anyone know what would be causing this? I already uninstalled my anti-virus completely and still high speeds. All systems are Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, some with SSD's, some with mechanical drives.
Just kind of wondering what could be causing the high core speeds. Oh, also C1E was disabled; same results. C1E is enabled again. So just looking to see if anyone else may have seen this or can ask me some questions to maybe find the root cause. Thanks
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2012
Okay...is this actually causing issues? I mean if the computers are working...don't fix what isn't broken. But it might also be, you have power management turned off, thus the CPUs will run at their fullest all the time. Often referred to as Performance States (P#), or Intel SpeedStep.
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2012
Well, the P7P55D system failed and got the BSOD and after researching I narrowed it down to the voltages. With the following on
Speedstep = enabled
turbo = enabled
C1E = enabled
The CPU speed was too much for the voltage so I had to manually increase the voltage and finally the system has been stable again. Been running for 12 hours with no BSOD. But as mentioned, if I let my systems idle for 30 minutes and then I come to look at them, they are still running at their highest turbo speed. According to the Intel website and technology video, this should not be happening as since there is no demand, it should drop back down to the stock speeds. At least that's what their website video stated about Speedstep and Turbo.
Is that power management in the BIOS or in the power settings in Windows 7?
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2012
Thanks logic, I found the power management. So let me ask you, what are yours set to? I see a min and a max.
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2012
I have mine set to min 0% and max 100%.
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2012
Made those adjustments and now at idle the CPU for me is normal. Tahnks again.
