We are pleased to announce the launch of Freedom's Ring, a Scalar-based, interactive experience of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream†speech. Produced by the King Institute at Stanford for the 50th anniversary of King's Speech, Freedom's Ring allows viewers to compare the written and spoken speech, explore multimedia images, listen to movement activists, and uncover historical context.
Freedom's Ring is a custom-designed website which pulls its content from Scalar via the open API, enabling the interface to be tailored to the content at hand. The project contains an interactive transcript that highlights differences between the way King's speech was delivered and how it was originally written. To capture these differences, Scalar was used to annotate every phrase of the speech, following King's own cadences. Each annotation contains both the spoken and written versions of the phrase (if they differ), plus markup that distinguishes the two for display. Key words in the transcript are linked to questions illuminating the context of the speech, and each question is a Scalar path containing short explications of related topics, with extensive use of video and images to shed additional light on the subject matter.

We are pleased to announce that Scalar, an affiliated project from the Vectors' team, has received an Editors' Choice award from PCMag.com! The in-depth review praises the platform for its flexibility, connectivity and originality. The author, William Fenton, notes, "Before it even became available, Scalar had the Digital Humanities community abuzz. A product of USC's Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, Scalar (Free) was heralded as a groundbreaking publishing platform that would empower users to chart non-linear paths though a pastiche of Web-born content and media—all without onerous technical expertise. After using the open beta for nearly a month, I am happy to report that Scalar achieves, and perhaps surpasses, the scuttlebutt.â€Â The review concludes "compare Scalar to its kin, and you will soon see that it does not have any: Scalar stands apart in its novelty, accessibility, and capability, and for these reasons—and many more—it receives PCMag's Editors' Choice award.†Hearty congratulations to the development team and all the Scalar early adopters!

We are thrilled to announce a new open-access, born-digital publication authored in Scalar, D|N|A: Seven Interactive Essays on Nonlinear Storytelling. Edited by Matt Soar and Monika Gagnon, Database|Narrative|Archive brings together seven 'essays' by nine thinkers and artists within the Scalar platform to explore the emergent medium of nonlinear digital storytelling. In their introduction, the editors observe that "analyses and hyperlinks to dozens of mediaworks make this Scalar-produced media-rich collection unique, aggregating some of the most recent crowdsourced and interactive mediaworks that are here made available to readers to explore, such as Katerina Cizek's Highrise Project (ongoing), David Dufresne and Philippe Brault's Prison Valley (2011), with references to older experimental films such as Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) and Perry Bard's participatory remake, Man With a Movie Camera: The Global Remake (ongoing), as well as references to the work of Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage, and Michael Figgis's Timecode (2000).â€Â We encourage you to engage the work, comment upon it, and share it with your networks. Vectors' author Sharon Daniel has a piece in the collection.

Another new Scalar project: The Knotted Line, a "tactile laboratory†created by artist/educator Evan Bissell that explores the nature of freedom and confinement in the United States. True to its name, The Knotted Line represents the intertwined histories of incarceration, education and labor through a collection of miniature paintings by Bissell depicting over 50 historical moments, all connected by a flowing, interactive line that can be pushed, pulled, and opened to reveal the imagery and content inside. This dynamic interface, designed and developed by Vectors's creative director Erik Loyer, is almost wholly driven by material authored in Scalar—the first project to use Scalar in this way.
Each painting of The Knotted Line is annotated with brief glosses which introduce the historical event it depicts, and then link to an expanded treatment of the event in Scalar's native reading interface, featuring embedded videos, images, and resources for educators. The complete timeline, which focuses on the geographical area of the United States, covers over 500 years of history, including some hopeful speculation about future events.
The Knotted Line shows the versatility of Scalar in the way in which it uses the same store of content to drive radically different, yet complementary presentations. Scalar's ability to add arbitrary metadata using popular ontologies like Dublin Core and ArtSTOR made it possible to include the temporal and spatial coordinates needed by the tactile interface, while still keeping content visible and editable within Scalar's default presentation.
Because of the visual, pedagogical, and historical nature of its content, The Knotted Line represents a dataset with its own creative potential for remix and reuse. To encourage this, the project's creators have included a "Data Sources†path which explains where to find useful resources like 300 dpi versions of each painting, an XML file that defines every point of the "knotted line†itself, and more—a great example of how the open access philosophy behind Scalar enables projects to function simultaneously as publications, websites, archives, and services. As a result, the potential exists to reformat The Knotted Line as a poster, a game, or some unforeseen mashup with another data source; we're excited by the possibilities.

We're happy to announce that the latest Scalar publication to go live is the digital companion to Matthew Delmont's new book The Nicest Kids in Town (University of California Press), which explores American Bandstand's discriminatory policies against black youth in Philadelphia—contrary to the claims of host Dick Clark that he integrated the show in its early years. Delmont's digital project features over 100 images and video clips, including memorabilia, newspaper clippings, and vintage clips from American Bandstand. The Scalar publication first began to take shape at the NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities in Summer 2011.
Delmont's project uses Scalar's "paths†feature to organize his material into three main sections: "Bandstand's Local Years: 1952-1957,†"America's Bandstand: 1957-1964,†and "Remembering American Bandstand,†each replete with media illustrations. As the screen shot above (taken from one of Scalar's built-in visualizations) illustrates, media (shown in green) comprises roughly 3/4 of the discrete content elements in the project, and is extensively referenced (media links are represented as green arcs).
Delmont recently spoke about his research on Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman and Juan González.

ANVC's Craig Dietrich joined a group of scientists, humanists, and archivists for a weekend at the New York Public Library to discuss workflows between digital archives, linked data, and authors. At the Compatible Data Initiative conference, Dietrich presented Scalar's use of XSLT and RDF technology to seemlessly bridge the platform with partner archives including Critical Commons and the Internet Archive. He concluded his talk with a call for publishing platforms to encourage responsible use of media through import features that maintain metadata records and templates that balance voice in both text and image.
Dietrich co-presented with UMaine Still Water co-director Jon Ippolito, who featured the Metaserver, an emerging tool for linking records across archives.

The Vectors' team is the core development team for the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture. The ANVC seeks to enrich the intellectual potential of our fields to inform understandings of an expanding array of visual practices as they are reshaped within digital culture, while also creating scholarly contexts for the use of digital media in film, media and visual studies. By working with humanities centers, scholarly societies, and key library, archive, and university press partners, we are investigating and developing sustainable platforms for publishing interactive and rich media scholarship.
Our work explores new forms of scholarly publishing aimed at easing the current economic crisis faced by many university presses while also serving as a model for media-rich digital publication. In essence, we are creating a pipeline to support emerging genres of scholarship that moves from soup to nuts, integrating core intellectual questions in our fields with content acquisition, training for scholars in digital research methodologies, and new paradigms and partnerships for publication, dissemination and warranting of scholarship. In partnership with film and video archives, scholarly societies, and presses, we are modeling twenty-first century possibilities for scholarly communication. New technological platforms like Scalar are a key part of the process but equally important are the human networks we are building: rich collaborations between archives, presses, and groups of scholars who can together provide new platforms for scholarship that are motivated by the key questions that animate humanities scholarship.

Commenting on Kloss's eloquent writing, The Washington Post marveled that "his pointed and persuasive perceptions are not easily resisted." Unlock the Mysteries of Renaissance Art Take Botticelli's Primavera, a bewitching allegory of springtime featuring two gods, three goddesses, the three Graces, and Cupid, set in a lush orange grove. Its sheer beauty transfixes visitors to Florence's Uffizi Gallery, where it hangs today. But what does it mean? Noting that scholars have endlessly debated the painting's symbolism, Professor Kloss directs your attention to a few intriguing details: The orange tree foliage makes a halo around the central figure of Venus, connecting her with the Virgin Mary. According to Renaissance thought, Venus may also represent humanitas—culture or civilization. On the right, flowers float from the mouth of the nymph Cloris, and her finger is merging with a flower in the gown of Flora, goddess of spring. One is metamorphosing into the other as spring arrives in this ideal glade of divine love. Meanwhile on the left, Mercury is waving his staff to dispel a tiny patch of clouds. He is clearing the atmosphere—the intellect—for the three Graces who represent culture and the arts. Professor Kloss then points out another equally rich interpretation and concludes, "A bad artist could do terrible things with such a complex story, but fortunately a great artist was at hand to visualize this elaborate subject." The same can be said for all of the artists in this course, and it is through their distinctive styles, innovations, and matchless skill that you learn about this remarkable period. What is the Renaissance?
These lectures cover the art historical periods known as the Early Renaissance and the High Renaissance, which extended from about 1400 to about 1520. Italy is the first and principal location of the Renaissance, and it was in Florence that it took its deepest root. Renaissance means rebirth, and it is the name given to the transition from medieval to modern times in Europe, when the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman culture sparked a creative revolution in the humanities, the sciences, and the arts. Humanism, a philosophical, literary, and artistic ideal, went hand in hand with this rebirth, emphasizing the dignity and potential of man and inspiring secular studies, and the creation of art that reflected the forms and ideas of the classical world. Renaissance society—and art—remained permeated with religion. In the arts, this revolution encompassed powerful new techniques for representing the human figure and the visible world, and also new attitudes about the role of the artist in society. From a modest rank as craftsman, the artist gradually rose to a status comparable to that of poets and philosophers. Examine Works by More Than 40 Great Artists The first 25 lectures examine the artists of Central Italy, where Florence is located. The focus then shifts to Northern Italy. You cover the works of more than 40 artists. Among the most famous are: Filippo Brunelleschi and Donatello: One an architect, the other a sculptor, they were the principal founders of the Renaissance style. Florence cannot be properly understood without looking at Brunelleschi's buildings, notably his dome for the Florence Cathedral. The influence of Donatello's sculpture was unequalled before that of Michelangelo. Masaccio: The greatest painter of the Early Renaissance is studied in two lectures, in which he is compared to Giotto, the great "proto-Renaissance" master of a century earlier. Piero della Francesca: Now considered one of the greatest of Renaissance painters, he was primarily associated with smaller urban centers like Urbino and Arezzo, where he created the fresco cycle The Legend of the True Cross. Botticelli: Two lectures are devoted to this master whose wistful grace gave way to anguished expression as the religious climate in Florence took a fanatical turn under the reformer Savonarola. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael: For many, this triumvirate is synonymous with the High Renaissance. Their influence and fame have scarcely waned from their day to our own. Seven lectures are devoted to their work. Andrea Mantegna: Master painter in Padua and Mantua, his art has a sculptural quality combined with rich color and a spirit of pathos. He was also an innovator in spatial illusionism in painting. Carpaccio and Gentile Bellini: This pair excelled in narrative cycles in which contemporary Venice is vividly rendered. They are included in an eight-lecture sequence on Venice, the proud center of culture in northern, Adriatic Italy. Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Bellini: Both working in Venice, they achieved such brilliant effects with the new oil medium that they inspired many other artists to adopt it. Giovanni Bellini was the younger brother of Gentile. Giorgione and Titian: From Giovanni Bellini's workshop came two artists who helped define the Venetian High Renaissance. Giorgione altered the development of Western art, despite his early death from the Plague, while Titian blended the achievements of Giorgione, central Italian painting, and his own coloristic genius into a style of stirring beauty. Some of the Art You See The visual content of this course puts it in a class with heavily illustrated art books. Some 500 images of paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, maps, buildings, and architectural details are featured. Many works are explored in considerable depth, with searching commentary by Professor Kloss that is both enlightening and personal. For example: Church of San Lorenzo, Brunelleschi: "Brunelleschi's architecture reflects the scale of the human being. I have a greater sense of calm and comfort and well-being in that church than any other Italian church until we get to the work of Palladio well over 100 years later. It's an extraordinary experience." St. George, Donatello: "The widespread legs of the figure and the central axis of the shield lead us up to the head, the vigilant, intelligent head, a thinking head. We take it far too much for granted, but Donatello has been able to give the power of thought to the head of George." Ginevra de' Benci, Leonardo da Vinci: "The strangely unemotional character of the face, the dreamy eyes, don't really connect with ours. This seems to be more of a projection of Leonardo's own secretive personality than a record of the sitter's. I think that it is generally true of portrait artists that they project themselves to a large degree onto their sitters." Sistine Chapel Ceiling, Michelangelo: "Do I think that the Sistine Ceiling was the victim of a poor or careless restoration? No, I do not; emphatically, I do not. These are the colors that we should have expected to see. These are in fact the colors of much later 16th-century Italian painting. We always knew that Michelangelo invented the poses of the human body that were used by everyone for the rest of the century. Now we know that he may have invented the colors as well." Baldassare Castiglione, Raphael: "Look in his eyes. Look at the wonderful blue-green of his eyes against the flesh tones and against the grayish background. The color scheme of the whole thing is a flawless consonance of gray, black, flesh tones, of perfectly defined volumes, persuasive description, and in every sense it's the true likeness of the man. It is what we call a speaking likeness." The Tempest, Giorgione: "This is one of the most puzzling paintings in art history. My preferred explanation: The soldier and the broken columns symbolize fortitude or constancy. The woman and child stand for Christian love. The threatening storm over the town and the country is a symbol of fortune or chance. What is distinctly uncommon here is the subordination of the emblematic devices to the evocative landscape. This is the first instance of Italian painting in which a landscape is given the principal role, not just a supporting role, but the principal role." You discuss many other major masterpieces in detail, from Giotto's frescoes for the Arena Chapel and Ghiberti's bronze doors for the Florence Baptistery to Leonardo's Last Supper and Michelangelo's Last Judgment. Terms and Techniques Professor Kloss offers other insights as well. Did you know that it is incorrect to refer to Leonardo as "da Vinci," which is not his last name but the indication of his town of birth? Or that the Renaissance was put on hold for half a century due to the Black Death? Or that Renaissance marble sculpture was sometimes painted? You also learn how to recognize saints from the symbols that accompany them: St. Paul by his sword, St. Peter by his keys, and St. Jerome by the stone in his hand with which he strikes himself in penance for his sins. Of great use in your further studies are the terms and techniques that Professor Kloss explains: In Italian, the 14th century is called the Trecento. The literal meaning is three hundred, but it is shorthand for the one thousand three hundreds. Likewise, the 15th century is called the Quattrocento, and the 16th the Cinquecento. These Italian terms are commonly used in art historical writing and speaking about Italian art. Fresco means fresh in Italian. The technique involves painting on a shallow layer of freshly troweled wet plaster (the intonaco) with water-based pigments, which penetrate into the plaster. Rapid execution is required before the plaster sets overnight, allowing one working day. The area that can be covered is thus called a giornata (day, or day's work). In linear or one-point perspective, the vanishing point corresponds to the spectator's viewpoint, and that is why the pictorial space can be felt as an extension of the viewer's real space. Leon Battista Alberti, the architect who first published a formulation of these principles in 1435, likened the picture surface to a window. Drying oils such as linseed oil and walnut oil form a solid film when exposed to the air for long enough time. Because they dry slowly, they can be applied evenly over a wide surface. The color, bound in the oil, has a richness and a luminosity that comes from the translucency of the medium. Uffizi, the name of the famous museum in Florence, means simply offices—the original function of the museum building. The Renaissance: 120 Years That Transformed Art In the final two lectures, Professor Kloss looks at the Renaissance as a whole and surveys the political, social, and religious events of the early 16th century that brought profound change to Italy and the rest of Europe. He then examines how art inevitably changed as a result. Altogether, the Renaissance lasted about 120 years, and the period of the High Renaissance a little over 40 years. No later Western art can be discussed without reference to this era—especially as it matured and flourished in the cities of Italy.

Thank you so much everyone! Originally I wanted to make a Tony Harrison because he is my fave (This is an outrage!) but I couldn't find the perfect, eye-burning shade of magenta to make him so I decided on Old Gregg. I agree he is creepy but I love to do his voice and I can't even look at a bottle of Bailey's anymore without thinking of him <3
I hope you find it so you can make him. I love Tony Harrison
Old Gregg is awesome though. I am loving all this Mighty Boosh crocheting going on.

The Toronto Blue Jays will not make qualifying offers to starting pitcher Josh Johnson or any other free agent, the team announced Monday.
Qualifying Johnson would have cost Toronto $14.1 million US and given it draft-pick compensation if the right-hander signed with another club. After going 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA, the risk was that the 29-year-old would accept the qualifying offer and take a huge chunk out of the Jays' budget.
Now if Johnson signs elsewhere in Major League Baseball, the Jays will not receive any compensation.
He was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins last off-season. Johnson made $13.75 million in his only season in Toronto.
Along with Johnson, the Jays will not make qualifying offers to outfielder Rajai Davis and pitchers Ramon Ortiz and Darren Oliver.
Oliver, who made 50 appearances in 2013, will retire at the age of 43.

Letters with Love is a wonderful book. A young teenager suffering from anorexia receives a letter every day for a whole year from her grandfather. He sets out to encourage her and anchor her once again in the faith she has been brought up in. With each of these letters we are given a rare glimpse into a private world of family love and God's grace. Each letter is presented as a daily reading for your own personal devotions.
With a reading for each day of the year, and a Scripture verse at the top of each page, this book would be a great daily devotional for the upcoming new year. Like other books in the "Daily Readings" series from Christian Focus, this book comes in a pocket size with an attractive, durable cover. It would make a great gift this Christmas season.
This book should be available through your local Christian bookstore. Here are some of the places where you can purchase this book online: ChristianBook.com, 10ofThose.com, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. Learn more about this book from ChristianFocus.com

The Gopher Marching Band has
experienced a historic level of success during the 2015 competitive marching
season. The band has participated in three shows so far including the ABODA Evaluation
Show at Williams Field High School with the ASU Marching Band staff. The ASU
staff was extremely helpful and gave the Gophers lots of ideas to refine our show and
prepare for our graded shows. The first graded show on September 26th was the ABODA Desert Vista Invitational. The band earned a "good" rating and
won four captions (special awards) for music, marching, show, and guard. The band is very proud to announce that we won 1st Place in our division at our most recent
competition, the Campo Verde Invitational on October 10th. At that show, the
band swept all special awards for best music, marching, show, percussion, and
guard. The band will perform their award winning show at the ASU Band Day this
upcoming Saturday, October 17th. On October 8th, the Gopher Band took
delivery of a 16' double axel cargo trailer to haul our instruments, props and
flags. Incredible thanks go to Principal Thad Gates. On
Friday, October 16th, the Pinal County Attorney will present a check
for $1500 to the Gopher Marching Band to help with paying entry fees,
transportation, and new equipment.

United Arrows' Beauty & Youth puts out a fairly steady selection of sneaker collaborations, but most are fairly difficult to get here in the US. Take for instance the last Beauty & Youth x New Balance 1700, a design crafted in conjunction with Briefing that you'll probably never be able to grab even with a hefty MSRP multiplier. That's why this latest navy suede and mesh drop with peanut butter leather accents is such a rare treat, and you can see just how dope they look out in the real world courtesy of the shop that'll have them bright and early this Saturday January 26th, Cincinnati's Corporate.

If you are just trying em out, get whatever weight you like for drivers. If you want to incorporate them in your bag (later one anyways) get a P-PD for anny/flat (there are flexy and stiff versions that have slightly different flight characteristics) an S-PD for striaght with fade, workable distance, and a C-PD for headwinds can be good. (I use a First Run S-PD which is more stable than reg S-PDs) I have 172-175 and like them.

RealmShift is classified as a dark fantasy novel. It's also a thriller and an action adventure story, but primarily, by genre, it's dark fantasy. Subsequently I often get asked, What is dark fantasy exactly? It's actually a very difficult thing to define accurately. I recently stumbled across the blog of fantasy and horror writer Sarah Monette where they were having a discussion about this very subject as it had come up during a panel at Wiscon. I ended up posting my thoughts on that blog and thought I might reproduce those thoughts here. Maybe I'm just trying to prevent people asking me difficult questions.
The truth is that any kind of genre definition can be hazy, but that's especially true of the whole speculative fiction genre. Where do you draw the line between fantasy and science fiction, for example? Star Wars is a prime candidate for that issue as it carries strong elements of both. It deals with ideas of magic (The Force), religion (Jedi Knights) and is also very much a science fiction movie with laser guns, space battles and clear cut heroes and villains. Generally people ignore the fantasy nature of it and concentrate on the science fiction. Arguably, it's the fantasy elements of Star Wars that are the most important and engaging. But that's another discussion altogether.
Some people consider dark fantasy to be horror, which I strongly disagree with. In the blog discussion I mentioned above, someone defined horror as being something designed to scare, and they draw a good definition. If something is fantasical or paranormal and deals with the darker side of life, darker emotions and psychological stresses, but doesn't have, as it's primary intention, the desire to scare readers, then it isn't horror but would certainly seem to be dark fantasy.
RealmShift is contemporary, set in the world we know and in our own time, but with many elements of magic, gods, demons and various other paranormal creatures and situations, and it is often quite unpleasant in its characters and the things they do. If I were to call it fantasy, people would think first of swords and sorcery, which it isn't. If I were to call it horror, people would expect a scary story, which it (on the whole) isn't. So perhaps dark fantasy is more a description of what something is not, rather than what it is!
Another person in the discussion on Sarah's site mentioned Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea stories as dark fantasy and that's certainly valid. I would call that dark fantasy as it deals with the darkness inside people and the black that follows the character of Ged. I would also call Neil Gaiman's work dark fantasy, even though that is far removed from something like Earthsea. Interestingly, the fact that Gaiman's novel American Gods won three major awards, one recognised as primarily a horror award, one recognised as a sci-fi award and one recognised as a fantasy award, goes some way to demonstrating how hard a time people had categorising that novel. I think dark fantasy is the perfect category for it. I read American Gods after people started drawing comparisons between it and RealmShift. I'd only previously read his Sandman comics (which, incidentally, I would also classify as dark fantasy).
I think a lot of Stephen King's and Dean Koontz's books would also be better classified as dark fantasy rather than horror, but they are both authors that certainly blur the lines between those two genres.
The movie Dark City would be another good example of dark fantasy. It's certainly fantastical, it's often scary, but it's not a horror film. The movie The Prophecy would fit in there too.
So, to me, a work is dark fantasy if it deals with any elements of fantasy and/or the paranormal in a way that studies the dark and frightening side of our nature, psychology and the weird, sublime and uncanny. If it doesn't shy away from the gore and horror of its own darkness, yet doesn't primarily aim to spook. If it has heroes that are not knights in shining armour, but people that sometimes have to do unsavoury things. If it has villains that aren't necessarily all bad as well as villains that really are all bad!
It is definitely a very hard thing to pin down with a single definition, but it is far and away the best definition for many things that don't quite fit within the generally accepted genres of fantasy or horror.
And I certainly don't claim to be the final authority. I'm certainly open to any other comments people might have on the subject.

Magic mind control!
6 Apr
So I have this running joke that if you complain about something, it magically gets better. For instance, if you tolerate a noisy car alarm for a while and then grouse about it, it somehow stops honking the second you finish your sentence. Sounds silly, but time and time again, voicing a well-timed and valid complaint seems to work. (This belief has been proven so often that one of my colleagues says that I control the world with my mind. I wish.)
While we were walking down Guerrero tonight, Craig found a file folder holder on the street. "Crazy," he said. "Just yesterday I was saying I need one of these." So he picked it up.
Then, as Meg and I were discussing the home organizer's belief that our new feng shui-ed out kitchen setup would bring more money into our lives, we stumbled upon some cash on the sidewalk. (Meg used it to leave a generous tip at the ice cream parlor.)
Yesterday, I said that I wanted a cupcake; an hour later, Sabrina, not knowing of my cupcake lust, IMed me to say that I should come over and grab one of the treats she'd baked. Bingo! Cupcakes. Today, I wished I had a better umbrella because mine is broken, and one randomly arrived in the mail.
I don't believe in The Secret and all of that new agey manifestation stuff, but I do love odd coincidences like this. Tomorrow, I will wish for Ryan Gosling and Kate Moennig to deliver a bucket of kittens. Will provide updates when this inevitable event goes down.

Attorney and author Roberta Grimes has liberated the teachings of Jesus from religious dogma.
Since this book was published in October 2015, Liberating Jesus has become an international bestseller. This book shows how the gospels line up with what we know about the Afterlife evidence and more.
"The whole medieval notion of a King on a glorious throne who is apparently meant to be Jesus, and having all the nations bowing before Him and separating the sheep from the goats, and the whole concept of God loving some a lot and others not so much: all of that is so inconsistent with the rest of the Gospels, the afterlife evidence, and even the culture in which Jesus lived that it has to have been added later," said Roberta.
I am the medium in Liberating Jesus. It is my honor to have been a small part of this.
It began several months ago in a reading with Roberta. Her spirit guide told Roberta that she was charged with a mission. She was asked to write a book that would correct nearly 2,000 years of misinformation about what Jesus wants humanity to accomplish.
Roberta's spirit guide could not bring this book to fruition while he was incarnate, for many reasons, including the culture at that time. Her spirit guide's penultimate lifetime was spent as Thomas Jefferson. Yes, that Thomas Jefferson.
Two months after Liberating Jesus was published, Wendy and Victor Zammit sent me audio recordings of seances. These were seances held by the great physical medium, Leslie Flint. The recordings were of Thomas Jefferson. He spoke clearly through Leslie Flint, who is said to be the greatest direct-voice medium who has ever lived.
Leslie's physical mediumship was powerful, making Thomas' voice quite clear. I immediately recognized Leslie Flint's Thomas as the man whom I have come to know through my mental mediumship.
Same voice. Same Southern drawl and cadence. Same humility and reluctance to focus on himself as an important historical figure. (Thomas prefers to focus on the greater spiritual work.)
As an aside and with his permission, I can tell you that Thomas Jefferson was never sexually involved with Sally Hemings. Because Thomas is a gentleman to a fault, he will not divulge the identity of the man in question.
Who should read Liberating Jesus? Everyone! No church experience or bible knowledge is required. This is for truth seekers.
Jesus teaches that there is no judgment and we are loved more than we can possibly imagine. Read a free sample of the book: Free Sample Chapter, Liberating Jesus

i just found out that a dear friend is coming into town from Atlanta in a couple of weeks for one night, and she wants to have a memorable dinner out. she requested Le Bernardin, and i would have been happy to oblige...but as it turns out, unfortunately it's going to be a Sunday evening.
so, now that Le Bernardin is out (as are Per Se, Corton, Daniel, etc.), she said she'd be happy with a place that's somewhat hot/trendy/hip, but still with cuisine that gets the CH stamp of approval - with all the great restaurants in ATL, she appreciates good food.
despite the large number of places that are closed on Sunday or already booked for that night, the choices are still a bit overwhelming. so i'm hoping you'll all help me choose, perhaps throw me your best suggestions.
a few guidelines:
- cost: maximum food tab $125 pp (not including drinks).
- location: preferably west side from midtown to Tribeca, though Gramercy & Central Village would be okay, and EV is possible if it's *really* worth it (we're driving in from Edgewater, NJ so easy access from the Lincoln Tunnel is a major plus).
- seafood-heavy menu a plus, as is sustainable/locavore/[insert buzzword here] mentality
- no pasta-centric places as i'm gluten-free (Italian is fine, but if the best items on the menu are pastas, it's out)
- no strictly vegetarian places
- no BBQ
- i'd consider sushi, but 15 East was my first choice and it's not available
- vibrant, young-ish environment preferable to romantic or stodgy (we're single, thirty-something women)
some of the places i instantly considered but that are either closed or booked:
- Blue Hill
- Marea
- Olana
- Cru
- Dell'Anima
- Landmarc
- Jean Georges
- The Modern
- Alto
- Anthos
- the Momofukus
considerations that are available:
- Crispo
- Scarpetta
- Red Cat
- Apiary
- Table 8
- Perilla
- Del Posto
- The Harrison
- Cookshop
- Five Points
what to do??? thoughts on the current list? other/better suggestions? help!!!
BTW, it's 10 days away, so i *really* need to make a reservation ASAP.

I wish I have more time then I can join this challenge. Huh! Anyway I have registered myself to this competition. You too can do it. The registration period is between 11 January 2010 until 28 Februari 2010. And the game period is at 1 March 2010 to 31 March 2010.
I have quite familiar with this kind of challenge before this. It was at www.iworx.com.my, that was opened for final graduation student at local university.But, at iworx, I have problem to open a transaction. I don't when is the best time to buy. Because it did not provide me with indicator that I am familiar with trading, such as fibonacci, awesome oscillator, even trendline and only a daily timeframe..so not that easy for me to make an order. For me, stock trading is a bit difficult as compared with forex. hohohoho
In forex trading, I use metatrader 4. Where everything is there..indicators and different timeframe. We also can install our own robot and so on and so forth.

Less Is More
Let's face it. We're too busy. The fact that you decided to read this article tells me that you're looking for a solution to all the noise. The problem most of us wrestle with is trying to get everything done and having no time left over for the things that really satisfy our souls.
There is a solution.
As a matter of fact, you can start today and get relief today. There's a few principles I'm gonna share in this post that, if you apply them right away, will actually change the direction of your life and your business.
Let's jump right in!
First, accept the fact that it's not all going to get done today. We've tried that before… several times and it just doesn't work. So we're going to need to prioritize with what's most important.
How do we know what that is?
Well, there's a cause and effect that often eludes us when we're deciding this. If we say for example, "My family is most important, so I'll just stay home with them all day." Then we can't pay our bills and will end up seeing way less of our family and letting them down.
So we need to split up our priorities into our motivations and our results.
Our motivations, are probably things like spending time with family, having an impact on the world, being independent enough to travel and experience more with friends.
Our results on the other hand are accomplished by looking at what we're currently doing (and maybe not doing) and setting aside 80% of those tasks to focus on the 20% that have the biggest bang for the buck.
If you're in business, it's normally talking to the right customers about their biggest pain and your specific solution.
Read that last sentence again and ask yourself, how can I get in front of the right customers (plural) and have a conversation about what keeps them awake at night and how your solution (or future solution) is a perfect solution for them.
Now let's talk logistics.
How can we talk with multiple potential customers about their problems? The answer, webinars. This doesn't need to be a formally structured 5 part course, it can simply be a Google Hangout set up for later today after pointing a facebook ad to the registration page a few hours earlier.
If you have an email list, you may want to send that a survey and then set up a call with them.
Here's a gold nugget.
Part of dealing with the 'right customers' means knowing what their problems are, how to solve them and provide massive value and them being able to see and afford that value.
So let's get focused. Write an all inclusive to do list. Everything you can think of that needs to be done. Then take the top three things on that list that will have the biggest impact on your business and write them on three separate post-it notes.
Now take the first list and put it in a drawer.
Put the three post-it notes up on your computer in order of biggest impact and just focus on them. You'll be amazed at the results.
Tomorrow, take a deep breath and repeat it.

NBA News: Player News and Updates for 11/22/14
NBA Player Updates 11/22: The Latest News from Around the League, Tonight's TV Schedule and More
November 22, 2014
See the Latest Odds
We've got a pretty good lineup of games on tap for this NBA weekend, and they'll begin tipping off at 7:00 PM ET this evening. While we're getting settled in and waiting on game time, let's check out some of the notable players and storylines out there in the league. Here's the latest.
Magic-Hornets: Those Magic fans who turned the game off when Charlotte was up 23 points last night missed out on the third-largest (tied) comeback in franchise history. Orlando shot 71.4 percent in the final quarter, outscoring the Hornets 41-21 for an epic 105-100 victory that saw them down 23 in the third quarter.
Evan Fournier posted 21 points, while Tobias Harris added 17 more with 16 rebounds for a double-double.
USA TODAY Sports
Grizzlies-Celtics: The Grizzlies' record stands intact--they posted their 21st straight regular season victory at home last night, taking a 117-100 win over the Celtics.
Marc Gasol tied a career-high in points with 32, while Zach Randolph hit 16 in both points and rebounds.
Jon Leuer made a big impact as well, posting 19 points in a season-high effort.
The numbers tell the story here, as the Grizzlies won the rebound battle 50-38, and crushed Boston in the paint 66-38.
Cavaliers-Wizards: Though Cleveland has shown some flashes of brilliance this year, they're still finding their chemistry as a team. They went the final nine minutes with no field goals against the Wizards, allowing Washington to roll away with a 91-78 win in their home.
John Wall had 28 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a game that Cleveland coughed it up 19 times.
As for LeBron James, he had 22 points on 8-of-21 shooting. The Cavs are now 5-6.
Mavericks-Lakers: If you like huge points totals (and you're not a Lakers fan), this was the game for you last night. The Mavericks crushed L.A. 140-106, which was their highest points total in over five years.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 23 but sat out the whole fourth quarter in what was the Mavs' sixth straight victory. Included with Monta Ellis and Chandler Parsons, the trio went 23-of-33 on field goals.
NBA Daily Schedule: Here's a look at the upcoming games in the 2014-15 NBA season, including the start times and TV networks where you can catch each matchup.

Why You Should Go Hiking
Hiking is one of my absolute favourite hobbies and one that I wish I had more time for, with our busy working lives it can be difficult to find enough time to escape into the countryside but I find it such a rewarding activity when you do get around to it and here's why…
1.You get to spend time in the great outdoors
It's called great for a reason! Hiking gives you the opportunity to go out and explore, I'm lucky enough to have the Peak District practically on my doorstep (well, only a 40 minute dive away) and it really is beautiful! But if you don't have somewhere that close or fancy more of a challenge it gives you the opportunity to visit new places truly it is an international activity!
|The view from Hollins Cross, Castleton
2. It's a good way of keeping fit
Who'd have thought that walking could be difficult? It really can be a test of your stamina to get up some of those hills and you'll definitely find an increase in your lung capacity if you keep it up! It's an excellent way to keep up a good level of fitness without an expensive gym membership.
|The deep snow at Mam Tor - I'm not normally taller than the sign!
3. It's cheap (if you want it to be)
If there's something I love it's getting value for money. Hiking is one of those hobbies that can cost as much or as little as you like, all you really need is a pair of boots. My current pair (which now unfortunately need replacing) have lasted for 10 years before the grip and waterproofing started to fail and they were a simple £25 pair from Decathlon (Similar Here). If anyone has recommendations for my next pair I'd love to hear them I'm thinking of doing quite an upgrade!
|Not all good views are from above - Lud's Church, Staffordshire
4. It's a gateway hobby
Taking an interest in hiking can quite easily lead on to other interests, something I always do when I'm out is take my camera and get a few good landscape shots and we're also thinking of starting some rock climbing in the summer months! So whether you simply want to improve your photography or want to take on some new challenges like caving or perhaps gain a few practical camping skills it can all stem from here!
|The Stunning view back towards Kinder, Edale
5. It's rewarding
In so many ways. Not only will you get fitter, meet new people, gain some new skills and increase your geography knowledge there's nothing that beats that view when you've struggled to the top of a mountain – or the bath when you've made it back home!
So that's why I love to get out and climb in the hills. I'll be out doing Grindsbrook Clough (Edale) on Good Friday and I can't wait to get back out there!
Do you enjoy hiking? Where are your favourite places to walk?

Hutchison wants Palace revenge
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Scottish international remembers the feeling he had eight years ago when, as a Sheffield United player, they fell short to Palace in the Division One play-off final.
Hutchison dislocated his shoulder early in the defeat at Wembley, as David Hopkin scored a dramatic late winner to put the Selhurst Park club in to The Premiership.
As painful as those memories are for the former Liverpool, Everton and Sunderland man, Hutchison is determined to be fit for selection when The Hammers face their London rivals at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
"If you are the team that loses in the final, it is the worst feeling in the world," Hutchison said.
"I will be training like mad in the next 10 days to try to force my way into the starting line-up if I can and, if the worst comes to the worst, get on the bench.
"It is the biggest game in the club's recent history and everyone will be desperate to start - and I'll be no different.
"I am wanting to finish the season on a high."
Meanwhile, young midfielder Mark Noble has signed his first professional contract at Upton Park.
The England Under-17 captain was pleased to put pen to paper after returning from France at the European Under-17 Championship, despite not making a first team appearance with The Hammers as yet.
"I am over the moon - I was away in France for the European Championships during my 17th birthday, but we wanted to get it done quickly so I signed when I got back," Noble told the club's official website.
"I love West Ham to bits - that is who I want to play for and where I was brought up."

Beef barbecue isn't hard to find in Atlanta. Most menus feature brisket, and the city might just have more options for smoked beef short ribs than Fort Worth.

The United States has many beloved barbecue styles, but meat cooked over fire in the fiftieth state rarely enters the discussion.

Rather, they specialize in plate lunches, which are, …

When I was growing up in Ohio, land of my birth, it was a barren wasteland when it came to barbecue. If you were looking for ribs, you better have liked them baked, sauced, and grilled. The pitmasters of my youth specialized in chicken on a backyard grill, and I didn't even know what an offset …

"In the Penal Colony" ("In der Strafkolonie") (also translated as "In the Penal Settlement") is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919. The story is set in an unnamed penal colony. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's "The Torture Garden" as an influence. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. "In the Penal Colony" describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the sentence of the condemned prisoner on his skin before letting him die, all in the course of 12 hours. As the plot unfolds, the listener learns more and more about the machine, including its origin and original justification.

A volunteer policeman hit a teenager with his car and did not report the collision for three days, Exeter Magistrates' Court has heard.
Plymouth resident Neil Smith was driving his BMW in traffic at around 20mph when the boy stepped out into the road in front of him.
Sean Tipton, prosecuting, said: "A 13-year-old boy who was with three friends ran into the road between stationary vehicles without looking. The defendant's vehicle struck him towards the front centre of the bonnet. The boy was knocked to the ground but got up quickly and walked away, followed by his friends," reported the Plymouth Herald.
While the boy at the time only seemed to have suffered cuts and grazes, he was later taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone.
Smith, a 41-year-old former Naval engineer, is accused of leaving the scene and failing to inform police of the incident until he spotted a press release appealing for witnesses.
He handed himself into police three days later.
In mitigation, Smith's representative Susan Snow, said: "All of a sudden he just saw this boy in front of his vehicle.
The court heard that Smith was unaware that he had a legal obligation to report such an incident.
Smith admitted failing to report a traffic collision was handed a fine of £415 and five penalty points on his licence.

PhD Forum: Using Participatory Camera Networks for Object Tracking
Mobile devices come embedded with various sensors of which camera is most widely used, however operated by the device owner for the individual needs. The authors feel that there is a potential for these camera sensors to be used in an on demand participatory fashion for a variety of community based sensing applications. In this paper, they propose forming local participatory camera networks for on-demand object tracking. They explain the various challenges such as mobile device discovery and configuration, willingness to participate, and direct communication cooperation between mobile devices. Finally, they define metrics for performance evaluation of these camera participatory networks for object tracking and discuss an application scenario for the same.

Animals / Mammal Facts / Manatee of the Sea, The Sea Cow
Manatee of the Sea, The Sea Cow
There are 3 species of manatee, 2 of which live in fresh water in West Africa and the Amazon and the third in coastal waters of the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
The manatee has a heavier body than its cousin the dugong and is also distinguished by its oval, horizontal tail fluke. There are three nails in each of its flippers, which the it uses to gather food. It feeds at night, foraging by touch and smell. Its diet is quite varied, since it will eat any sort of vegetation and also often also takes in small invertebrate animals with the plants.
The manatee's skin is generally gray or brown but the color varies according to the type and the amount of algae growing on it. It is often rough and many have scars from boat propellers.
For much of the day, the manatee lies on the sea or lake bed, rising every couple of minutes in order to breathe at the surface. Manatees are social animals and live in family groups, which sometimes gather together in larger herds. It is thought that they meet to communicate information about favorable places to eat.
The manatee has a large fat reserve and slow metabolism allowing it to semi-hibernate in the Amazon basin fasting for up to seven months during the dry season. They wait in the deeper parts of large lakes where there is not much food available. Others choose to enter the river systems and continue to find food but that option requires a lot of energy as they have to swim constantly in the rivers.
Not as much is known about the West African species. It can live along the coast, in estuaries, and in fresh water rivers and lakes. They have been observed traveling up to 25 miles (40 km) in one day.
It takes about a full year for a calf to be born. The calf may also be nursing for a year or two, so manatee mothers can only give birth once every 2 to 5 years. The calf is born in water and is helped by its mother to the surface to breathe.
There was a species related to the manatee called Steller's sea cow that was much larger than the dugong or the manatee. Unfortunately, it became extinct shortly after its discovery in 1741 due to hunting. The manatee is now often called the sea cow, as it is the only marine mammal, along with the dugong, that grazes plants (mostly).

Sydney, Mar.9 (ANI): Test umpire Darryl Hair has labeled ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat a bully for telling on-field officials caught in the recent Lahore attack to be "more rational" about their experience.
Australian umpires Simon Taufel and Steve Davis have complained that Pakistan failed to protect them when gunmen opened fire as they travelled behind the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore on February 2.
Lorgat, the umpires' boss, suggested on Sunday that they were overwrought and needed to reflect on events calmly.
Hair reacted furiously in his capacity as head of the New South Wales Umpires and Scorers Association, an organisation that counts Taufel as a life member.
He said both Taufel and Davis had appeared measured and rational when commenting on the attack, which left eight Pakistanis dead and seven Sri Lankan players and an assistant coach wounded.
"No one could possibly comprehend the frightening and life threatening nature of the predicament they found themselves in," The Herald Sun quoted Hair, as saying.
"For Mr. Lorgat to blandly ask them to be 'more rational' I think (smacks of) bullying and they are embarrassed that the full truth of the situation came out into the open."
He suggested Lorgat go on a management course to help him understand his role as head of the ICC and his organisation's duty of care to players and officials, which it had "clearly failed to provide on this occasion".
"I wonder if Mr Lorgat would be making his shallow and insincere comments if it had been he trapped in a hail of bullets and felt abandoned by the very security forces that were supposed to protect them," Hair said.
He described Lorgat's comment that the umpires were going through a difficult time as "the biggest understatement of all time" and questioned the ICC chief's assertion that "cricket must go on in Pakistan".
"Does someone have to die before ICC even remotely begins to understand the reality of the matter?" Hair said. (ANI)

Edward Norton shoots documentary in support of Barack Obama
The project, We Hold These Truths, follows working Americans as they discuss their hopes for a better future in a country led by Democratic Obama.
But while Fight Club star Norton has previously publicly endorsed the politician, he does not appear in the seven-minute movie in a bid to put the spotlight on voters.
Norton explains to BuzzFeed.com, "I don't judge anyone else's choices but for myself, I don't relate to the idea of leveraging celebrity for its own sake. I'm not a believer of do this or pay attention to this because of who I am.
"Even though I support the President, to me it's much more interesting to encourage people to engage than to suggest that people should model themselves on me and my views."
