Religion Majors Research Skills
We are excited to announce the beta launch of our new website.
Please take a look and give us your feedback.
What Should Religion Majors Know?
Religion courses at Smith are critical and comparative, interdisciplinary, and cross-cultural. They examine the nature and function of religious phenomena in the past and present of many cultures. They provide opportunities to analyze systems of belief and patterns of religious behavior, the history of religious traditions, the functions of religion in society, and various forms of religious expression such as myth, ritual, sacred story, sacred texts, liturgy, and theological and philosophical reflection. (From the Religion Department Mission Statement.)
Click here for more information about the study of religion at Smith College.
A student majoring in Religion will gain a broad knowledge of different religious traditions in different geographical locations as well as a more focused understanding of a particular religion, or the religious traditions of a particular geographical area or discipline. She will also study the different methods and approaches to the study of religion. For more information on the specific content of a Religion major, click here.
How Will They Get There?
Information Literacy
Information literacy refers, basically, to the skills that used to be understood as "using the library effectively." Such knowledge is important to the Religion major, for there are many potential sources of knowledge about religion. But the most effective and judicious use of them is not always clear. Information about religion can be gleaned from books and ethnography, fiction and films, television and websites, yet how can such knowledge best be used? A Religion major should learn to know
1) when information or documentation is needed;
2) what sort of information is needed;
3) how to locate the information;
4) how to evaluate its relevance and quality;
5) how to use it effectively; and
6) how to use it ethically.
It is expected that, as with all Smith students, Religion majors will have acquired basic information literacy skills before entering their major. Click here for a description of these skills, including information about the College-mandated writing intensive course. For more on the effective use of information, see "Standard Four" of the Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.
Within the major itself, students will be introduced to the sources important for the study of religion through content-specific "literacy" training sessions with librarians as well as through the normal course of assigned papers, exams, and projects. More specific training in the theoretical and methodological concerns of religious studies will occur in REL 200, a required departmental course that students are encouraged to take shortly after they declare their major. These skills are then exercised and honed through one's class work and through departmental seminars, which function as a culmination of training in a particular tradition and approach to the study of religion.
An excellent survey of the important research tools for the study of religion is maintained by the Smith College research librarians and can be accessed on the Libraries' Religion Subject Page. In addition, the Religion Department website as well as individual faculty websites contain many resource links to informative websites.
Ethical Use of Information
An important aspect of information literacy is the ethical use of information. This means accurately citing the sources of your information and not committing plagiarism. See the statement on Academic Honor Code Infractions in the Smith College Student Handbook.

These capabilities, and 15 others, are taken from the Business Technology Management Framework, a management standard advanced by the BTM Institute, a sister organization to BTM Corp. According to this management framework, a maturity model is designed to assess the progress of organizations in adopting these capabilities. It specifies five levels of maturity, which can be determined using an assessment tool.
This then would be the first measurement of an enterprises readiness to move to the cloud: assessing the enterprises management readiness in such areas as strategy and planning, technology investments, and managing partnerships. Cloud computing is not an incremental variant of classic outsourcing. It is more fundamental, and the organization must be made ready. If it is not, if it blindly pursues the cloud without the clarity of an SEA and with the organization arrayed as it has always been, then it can expect less than pleasing results.
An SEA and maturity in these other capabilities can help the enterprise answer such questions as:
At some point the enterprise will need to answer the big questions: Is the company, as a whole, better off? Is it finding and retaining good customers? Is it delivering new, innovative products to them? Is it adjusting on the fly to changes in customer demand, marketplace realities, new technologies, and competitor moves? Beyond that, what are changes in management and technology doing for the bottom line?
Taking the holistic measure of an enterprises performance is a rather straightforward process. This measurement can be combined with interim assessments on the efficiency of individual business processes currently and in a projected best state, and the costs of internal versus external computing. In no case should such measures be made in isolation from their impact on customers and the firms overall purpose and strategy.
Now is the time to wrestle with these issues. Purveyors of the cloud from traditional big-picture providers to relative newcomers are ramping up their capabilities, looking for benefits in joint ventures, and trying to understand the value proposition for future customers. Traditional suppliers of pay-per-seat, one-niche software applications are also anxiously wondering how they fit in.
Some big thinkers are prophesying the end of IT departments as we know them. It is more likely, however, that IT departments will continue but in a new, more strategic role. The CIO will become truly the "Chief Information Officer" as opposed to the Chief Information Technology Officer signifying a shift in focus from the technology to its ultimate purpose.

I am Using DB2 for the first time. My Problem is When i give static results to the query i get the results. But when i am trying to use parameter markers and trying to pass it from Birt Eclipse i am getting the following errors.
SQL statement does not return a ResultSet object.
SQL error #1: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -418, SQLSTATE: 42610, SQLERRMC: null
SQL error #2: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -727, SQLSTATE: 56098, SQLERRMC: 2;-418;42610;
SQL error #3: DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -727, SQLSTATE: 56098, SQLERRMC: 2;-418;42610;
I dont why i'm getting this problem. the Query is
select count(mm.organization_location_id),mm.branch_name from organization_locations oo,
(select kk.branch_name,kk.report_id,kk.organization_locati on_id,
max(kk.report_category_datetime) as report_category_datetime from
(select k.organization_location_id , l.branch_name ,
j.report_id , j.report_category_datetime from
report_category j ,
(select m.case_id,m.organization_location_id from reports m,follow_ups
where organization_location_id in
(SELECT b.organization_location_id FROM organizations a ,
organization_locations b , countries c WHERE
a.organization_id = b.organization_id and c.country_id =
and a.organization_id = ? and b.country_id = ?)and p.status_id=? and p.current_status='Y' and p.report_id =
m.case_id and m.datetime between ? AND ?) k ,
organization_locations l
where k.organization_location_id =
l.organization_location_id and j.report_id = k.case_id and
locate(?,j.report_category_name ) >= 0 ) kk group
by kk.report_id,kk.branch_name,kk.organization_locati on_id) mm where mm.organization_location_id =
oo.organization_location_id group by mm.organization_location_id,mm.branch_name.
I think the problem is in parameter binding. In birt there is no datatype for varchar ,big int
so i give string and integer. Is this causing me a problem?
If yes, then what datatype can i give.

You cannot use a parameter marker as the first parameter of the function locate()
if you know the length of that string, the workaround:
... locate(CAST(? AS CHAR(xxx)) , report_category_name ) ...
might work

Ronaldo warns Di Maria number seven shirt carries heavy burden
Cristiano Ronaldo has warned Angel de Maria that filling the number seven shirt at Manchester United will be "a big responsibility" but has backed him to rise to the challenge.
Di Maria will be following in the footsteps of Ronaldo in playing in that shirt after his £59.7million move from Real Madrid, as well as other United greats including George Best and Bryan Robson.
Ronaldo, speaking at the Champions League draw in Monaco, added that he was relishing the prospect of facing Liverpool in Europe but that Real were determined to hold on to their crown even without the likes of Di Maria, to whom he sent a message of support.
"I wish the best to him, he deserves it, he's a fantastic player, he's going to do well at Manchester United," said Ronaldo. "And I said to him 'Number seven is a big responsibility' but I think he will be able to take that shirt because he's a fantastic player.
"Good for him. United is one of the best clubs in the world, and it's going to be good for him and I wish the best of luck to him.
"Personally, it's a shame for me because I liked Di Maria, a very important player for us as was Xabi Alonso (who is understood to be on the verge of joining Bayern Munich). They are situations that happen in football, players come and players go.
"They are decisions of the club. We have bought very well with players like James [Rodriguez], [Keylor] Navas and [Toni] Kroos and for that reason we are in good condition with a great squad."
Ronaldo admitted he was surprised at United's poor start to the season, saying: "A little bit, yes. But it's still early."

a Cena Ristorante Ratings and Reviews
It was good but not as exciting as we had hoped. It was a little heavy and rich and our stomachs felt a little funny all night after. We also felt that even though the staff was great, our server was really trying to turn the table. Everything came out too fast.
The place itself is very nice, warm and welcoming. The prices are very high and unnecessarily so. $12 to $15 for salads. $30 for a bolognese and $40 for spaghetti frutti di mare. My husband's dish, garganelli alla norcia, was very good, according to him, but mine, caramelle, was not. The ends of the "knots " were chewy, hard and thick. I would suggest making the caramelle smaller to avoid cooking the center but not the ends. The wine was great and the prices for a glass were reasonable. Not a fun, satisfying dinner experience for me, unfortunately. My husband and I commented that we wouldn't go back, especially because of the prices, compared to other similar Italian restaurants in Portland.
My wife and I shared the lobster agnolotti which was amazing -- one of the best things I've ever eaten. We also shared the scallops, also wonderful. Wine list is great, and cocktails too. This is one of our favorite Portland restaurants -- the food is always great. It can be noisy on a busy night, so not ideal for a quiet conversation. The staff work hard to keep up on busy nights but the service is good, and never too long a wait to be served.
This was a quiet birthday with close friends on a quiet Sunday night; nice wine, quick service and most of the food was very good. Wonderful breadsticks and focaccia with olive oil,fresh lovely salad with pears, halibut special with firm flaky fish, creamy mashed potatoes, lovely spinach and chanterelles. Lamb tagliatelle must have been great as our friend who ordered it refused to share and ate it all. House made salted Carmel gelato and dark chocolate Sorbetto were attractively served and delicious. But tonight's tiramisu was a puny bite of cake; served in a bowl mounded with whipped cream and sprinkled with cocoa powder. Despite including birthday candles for the guys, it was a disappointing dessert for the couple who shared it.
A Cena has been one of my favorite Italian places, hope it can continue to be in the future.
The chef Gabe is wonderfully creative; the food is delicious; the flavors are wedded and delightful to both eye and taste. If you have been to Veneto you will recognize the tastes as authentic. Favorites remain on the menu for returning diners, plus there are always new items to be savored.
Don't leave without a sip of Nocino, made in house walnut flavored spirit. The owner Chris, greets each diner with a smile and perhaps a suggestion for beverage or dish.
We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary there. Service was superb, friendly, and informative. The food was interesting and tasty. If I had to choose any one blemish, I'd say my lobster Agnolotti was a tiny bit on the sweet side. However, I have nothing to compare it to, since I've not had it anywhere else! So, overall a great neighborhood Italian spot. I look forward to visiting many more times in the future!
You almost don't have to go beyond "home-made pasta!" The pasta was amazing--from the texture to the taste, everything was perfect about it. We also had the seafood risotto, and there was plenty of seafood in it! The food was excellent, the service great, and the atmosphere was perfect for our romantic date. I definitely recommend a Cena!
Portions were VERY small for the price. Service was slow, took forever to get our order and the place was not busy. Food was fine not exceptional and again high price small portions. If i am going to spend 100.00 for dinner I better be stuffed and take home leftovers. I would recommend the Italian restaurant in Troutdale first.
We were celebrating a special event with a dear friend and had a wonderful evening. It was pouring down rain and the restaurant was not as busy, so we were able to really relax and enjoy each course to the fullest. The food was amazing! The cocktails superb. The service perfect. Thank you for a fabulous experience.
This was my third visit to A Cena. I come for the food, which is fantastic - although I love their Agnolotti so much (Raviolini filled with corn and mascarpone, and topped with lobster) that it's hard to convince myself to try other offerings. However, bites from the plates of my companions, as well as my varied antipasti and desert selections have been equally tasty.
The service is excellent (one problem with bus staff removing our plates too quickly was easily resolved), and the wait staff are quite knowledgeable about the wine list and dishes. The atmosphere is perfect for small groups of friends - not fancy or romantic, but comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend A Cena.
Having lived in Europe for many years, quite a few of those within easy reach of the Italian border, I took advantage of the opportunity to eat true Italian cuisine many times. A Cena is as authentic as any I have had since returning to the US, and as good or better as quite a few places I ate in Italy. We had a wonderful meal at A Cena and overindulged ourselves. It was not inexpensive but it was worth every dime. We will return, with friends.
Based off reviews, I was expecting a cozy romantic Italian restaurant experience. Instead, it felt more like a neighborhood cafe. The music that was being played sounded like Italian pop music with some fast paced electronic music thrown in. It didn't fit the vibe of the restaurant at all and set the tone of our whole experience. The service was friendly and very fast, too fast actually. Our whole dining experience lasted no longer than 35 minutes, which I guess I can't fault them for, but I was expecting a slower pace and more hands on server attention. Fortunately, our food was very delicious and was indeed the highlight of the evening. However, a Cena seems to charge fine dining prices but delivers an ambience and experience that falls more in line with a casual neighborhood cafe.
Ultimately, my experience at a Cena was a victim of my own expectations rather than anything the restaurant did wrong. If you live in Sellwood and want delicious Italian food, you can't go wrong here. But don't make my mistake and book this place for a special occasion or date.
we've been here several times and it never disappoints. the food is fresh and fabulous, the servers are attentive and knowledgeable. i recommend that someone at your table order the Agnolotti (corn & marscapone ravioli with butter poached lobster in a sweet, creamy sauce) get the entree size since others at your table will be eating from your plate :-).
Normally, this is best in food, service and ambiance. It was a busy Friday night and the restaurant was packed, full of noise and understaffed. Our wait person was exceptional to us, but run ragged. Our home made ice cream was not good and very icy, just not expected in this restaurant. It still a favorite, but will stick to week day dining.
We have been to A Cena many times. The food is consistently very good as well as the service. It does get quite noisy as the evening progresses. We usually come early as it is quieter then. Great for special occasions or a very nice dinner out as the prices are fairly high. We have always been pleased. Good drinks also!

After reading the first part of this series, you will probably assess that you are not consuming enough protein to reach your aesthetic or performance goals for training.
Examples of protein in a normal diet include eggs, all types of meat (unprocessed) fish and many times of legumes. The protein value of each will vary across the board but there is no need to worry about the quality of protein one is consuming.
In brief, protein is protein and as long as you are consuming 1.5 g per kg of your bodyweight (while training) from a variety of different sources your combined amino acid profile from each will be on par with the body's demands for growth and repair of lean muscle.
What proteins should I eat?
When it comes to protein consumption, variety is the spice of life as implicated above. Organic lean (and occasional saturated fat meat) is what the human race evolved with during our early days of 'survival of the fittest'. Of course, protein can be consumed from a variety of food types of which many serve an added function alongside growth and repair.
For example, whey and casein protein powders are high in calcium for those who don't consume diary. Protein can be obtained from fish and fish oil is high in omega 3 which can help to have healthier blood vessels, a lower lipid count, reduced risk of plaque build up and even reduce cancer. Hemp protein has dietary fiber and soy isolate has weak phyto-estrogenic compounds that may help menopausal women etc.
Although these sources vary in the bio-availability of protein, the combination of all provide optimum living and performance.
It is worth re-emphasizing also that one size does not fit all. Over compensating on one protein to achieve a certain health goal is not the answer. However, even with the best intentions with a well balanced protein intake, it can be tricky consuming the volume of protein needed to achieve strength gains or muscle definition.
Protein supplements provide a tasty, simple and practical way to fulfill protein requirements. They are also cheap on a cost per saving basis. While there are many protein supplements on the market (Hemp, Soy, Beef, Milk, Egg) the author has chosen the most popular (not to say the better) forms to briefly breakdown exactly what classifies whey and casein, their variations, how to re-align these with your strength goals and common myths surrounding the consumption of protein supplements thanks to the collective research of Examine.com (the world's first independent supplement research company).
So which protein should you buy?
Whey protein is a byproduct of milk dairy protein (approximately 20% of the protein content). Whey can come in its 'concentrated' form (35 - 80% of protein), an 'isolate' form (90% protein by weight) and an 'hydrolyzed' form (pre-digested with amino acids).
Some 'concentrated' forms (80% Protein) of whey come pretty close to their 'isolate' (90% Protein) counterparts in terms of protein content. Hydrolysate is a little different. The acid hydrolysis (pre-digestion) breaks down the amino acids faster and thus gets absorbed by the body quicker. The supplement reference guide created by Examine.com recommend this for people with immunity problems as it non-allergenic. This is the most expensive form of whey protein.
Fact of the day: Whey protein has branded itself as the fast absorbing supplement to be consumed post workout to give the body the quick shot of protein it needs to take advantage of the much publicized 'anabolic' window immediately after training. Interestingly, while this may be true (in part) to people who have fasted before their workout (ie before breakfast), it is not important for the 'fed' person who consumes an adequate amount of protein during the day. Infact, while training in a fasted state may improve protein synthesis (the ability to absorb protein), there is more evidence to suggest that training in a 'fed' state is far more conducive to building more muscle mass (examine.com 2014).
Known as the bedtime protein supplement, Casein is comparatively a slower releasing protein supplement and has actually been proven to be slightly better than Whey at building muscle in the longer term. As Whey constitutes 20% of the dairy component, Casein comprises of the remaining 80% specifically the curds separated from the whey's in the cheese making process. It is traditionally taken at night to aid the body's metabolic processes to repair damaged muscle (the good kind) during sleep but can also be used effectively during the day to repel hunger. Casein has special properties to form gels once liquid is added giving it that thick consistency making it ideal for a comparatively thicker protein shake or tasty accompaniment to porridge (mixed before cooking).
Casein comes in 3 forms. Calcuim caseinate (basic form), micellar casein (purer form) and hydrolyzed casein (water soluble & pre-digested amino acids). The first 2 contain the gel thickening properties which helps the protein to be released slowly which may improve absorption and helps in keeping one satiated, thus eating fewer calories during the course of the day. My clients who train for fat loss and muscle gain have achieved great results with all forms of casein along with a carefully planned bespoke diet.
Fact of the Day x2 hydrolyzed casein has actually been shown to be faster than hydrolyzed whey in protein absorption.

There are some surprisingly simple ways that you can begin improving your credit score right away, and it's very important that you know what they are. The more time you take to look into these methods, the better your chances will be of improving your credit score in a big way. The better your credit score is, the more doors you will open for yourself in life.
1. Keep a close eye on your credit card balances
One of the best ways to go about improving your credit score and making sure it doesn't get any worse is to keep a close eye on the balance of your credit cards. One of the biggest factors in determining your credit score is how much revolving credit you have as opposed to how much you are actually using. The smaller the percentage is, the better your credit rating will likely be. You want to shoot for 30% or lower. Even if you manage to pay your balances in full each month, you could still potentially have a higher utilization ratio than you might think.
2. Take care of all your credit card balances
Another thing that you will absolutely need to do when it comes to getting your credit score up is to take care of those pesky credit card balances. Start working on paying off any outstanding balances you have, because they are only going to prevent your credit score from going up in the future. One of the factors that determines what your credit score is like is how many credit card balances you have, and how much you still owe. The best thing you can do is to start taking care of these balances right away. In the end you will be very glad you decided to do this.
3. Leave Old Debt on your Report
While you may be tempted to fight to get negative items taken off your credit report after you have paid them off, this could actually be a bad idea. There is no doubt that negative items are bad for your credit, but most of them will go away within a period of seven years. There is also what is known as "good debt," which is the debt you have handled well and paid off as agreed. The longer your history of good debt is, the better your score is going to be. Remember, leaving old debt and good account on your credit report as long as possible.
4. Make good use of your Calendar
If you happen to be looking for a home or auto loan, you should really do your rate shopping within a fairly short period of time. It's also important to keep in mind that your credit score is negatively affected each time you apply for a line or credit, even if it is in a small way. The overall length of the shopping period will depend on the credit score that is being used.
5. Pay all of your Bills on time
If you really want to boost your credit score over time, the best thing that you can do is to simply pay off all your bills on time. This will reflect very positively on your credit report, so you will need to keep this in mind. When you are late paying your bills, it will reflect poorly on your credit report. Those who want to boost their overall score considerably will need to pay off their bills on time on a consistent basis. The better you are at doing this, the less you'll have to struggle to maintain a healthy credit score.
6. Remember that sometimes Inaction is the Key
Sometimes it is what you don't do that can actually improve your credit score. For instance, charging more than you normally do to your credit card can have a negative impact on your score as a whole. Remember that sudden changes in your credit behavior can lead to bad things in the near future.
7. Do not become Obsessed
It can be easy to get obsessed about your credit score, especially considering how important it is, but it's important that you avoid doing this. As long as you keep all of these things in mind, you shouldn't have any problems. Constantly worrying about your credit score is simply no way to live.

Anyone who's glanced through the pages of a Marvel comic — or even caught an episode or two of the '90s animated series — knows that the Dark Phoenix Saga is the ultimate X-Men story.
For those not in the know, it goes a little something like this; Girl gets possessed by cosmic fire bird. Cosmic fire bird commits genocide. Girl's mutant friends fight her. Cosmic fire bird kills itself, kinda.
Fans have longed to see that simple, age-old story recreated on the big screen, but so far, the results have been mixed. Brett Ratner initially tackled the Dark Phoenix Saga in the critically reviled X-Men: The Last Stand, but sidelined Jean Grey's god-like ascension in favor of the mutant cure storyline and the Juggernaut, bitch.
This year, Bryan Singer touched upon the Phoenix Saga once more in X-Men: Apocalypse, reviving the fan-favorite story like... well, like a phoenix from the ashes. But news that the entire franchise is being rebooted led many to believe that Sophie Turner's Jean Grey may never reach her full, genocidal potential.
Check out how X-Men: Apocalypse was brought to cinemas in the video below:
However, rumors reported by LRM suggest that the Dark Phoenix Saga will still be the focus of the next X-Men film. Story-wise, this makes total sense. After all, X-Men: Apocalypse ended with Jean Grey finally realizing the true extent of her power, destroying the titular mutant who sought to end the world. Hints were also threaded throughout the film that suggested Jean wasn't quite in control of her gifts and that the Phoenix Force could even affect her personality. In that way then, these reports shouldn't be too surprising.
The problem, though, is that Fox just announced that the X-Men franchise is set to be rebooted following the underwhelming performance of Apocalypse. If that's the case, then how will this be handled exactly? Continuity within the X-Men franchise is harder to follow than Quicksilver on speed, and if the films are reset, this could mean that the Phoenix storyline may be rebooted for a third time.
Without the psychic abilities of Jean or Professor Xavier himself, it's still hard to judge much more this early on. However, if we had to guess, we imagine that the story of Apocalypse will be continued in the next film to a point, utilizing the younger cast members and a new director to reinvigorate the franchise without alienating those familiar with the most recent films.
One thing we are certain of, though, is that the biggest stars of the last few X-Men films are unlikely to return. Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy have all expressed a desire to leave the franchise, so it looks like the upcoming reboot will forge ahead with other actors in the key roles of Magneto, Mystique and Professor Charles Xavier instead.

Although producer Simon Kinberg has started work on a script for the next installment in the franchise, no official confirmation has been given yet regarding plot specifics or even the nature of the reboot itself, so these Dark Phoenix reports still currently lie in the realm of rumor. Let's just hope that Hollywood finally see reason and replicate every scene from the nine-part Phoenix Saga depicted in the '90s cartoon show. Fox would basically be printing money at that point.
Do you think that the Dark Phoenix Saga should be in the next X-Men film?

The session, called "Obtaining Capital Funding with Accurate Data and Analysis," will focus on how UT Austin used objective facility condition data to demonstrate the priorities for capital budget funding. As Steve Kraal, Senior Associate Vice President for Campus Planning & Facilities Management, says, "Selling and defending your budget will always come back to how effectively you use every dollar given to you. We let the data speak for itself."
Don't miss this session! You'll learn about how UT Austin secured annual funding increases, the benefits of implementing a facilities management solution, the advantages of implementing a self-assessment solution, and how to use concrete facility data to prove capital needs.

Inspired by the best and most influential concrete architecture of the last century, these miniature concrete homes are designed to advocate and celebrate concrete's beauty, efficacy and its incalculable contribution to creating and defining spaces in the modern life. Each piece is an individually complete space defined by volumes and voids that give the human imagination a glimpse into what could be lying inside. The nine concrete pieces come together to form a set that can be put together around the central 'Kund' to create a community space.
Made in India.
Care: Dust with a dry cloth. Please avoid placing object over hard, rough or wet surfaces. As concrete is a composite material, each piece will be slightly different in terms of colour, texture and pores. Over time concrete products undergo slight efflorescence which can be mitigated by frequent use. They also tend to become slightly darker as they interact with moisture and air.

"Prayer is the only entryway into genuine self knowledge. It is also the main way we experience deep change—the reordering of our loves. Prayer is how God gives us so many of the unimaginable things he has for us. Indeed prayer makes it safe for God to give us what we most desire. It is the way we know God, the way we finally treat God as God." (Tim Keller)
So heavy. Can you feel it too?
How each letter swells with the weight of it all?
Soak up the gravity; stretch mighty to grasp the significance.
Below, the heart wrestles in the learning, and the spirit struggles again to climb.
Miles into an endless enigma.
Of sleepless agitation.
And terrestrial condemnation.
But remember, it's all in the gaze.
Lift. Force the eyes up if you have to. Where are those hills?
In the madness and the dark where restless thoughts fly thick through souls,
Edify us with songs of the Day
Instruct the spirit to fold and pray.
When the woe of unclean smears slander across the truth, we cry undone.
Oh, unbearable union.
Of shalom and the shadow.
But the most beautiful of words are bestowed by grace.
By the cry "Our Father," we know the holiest place.
A flight from pain, communion is not, nor a vessel to dodge the suffered trial.
As it is in heaven,
So be it on earth.
Sovereign will be done and kingdom come surmount all other needs.
Like shafts in the dark, our prayers pierce the shroud,
Comets in reverse escaping into the sky to bring Heaven down.
In the end that's the only way to do it.
The only way to keep the heart from withering in your chest.
To pray like you breathe.
Holiness like oxygen.
Because that's what it is.
Sometimes we don't know Him, but deep down we also know why.
Have you ever found the path to prayer held against you?
Because yourself was in the way?
Be glorified in us, Oh Lord, hallowed be your name.
Fortify the hand to bestow your love on friend and foe the same.
Bathe the hurts.
Baptize the wants.
Flood the heart familiar with you.
Reorder our loves with purpose, arrange the fragmented spirit
With shards of rough soul,
Make brokenness whole,
And cover all with the portion of your promised peace.
For that's a bond we can rely on, a mending and a communion surmounted by a vow.
That even in the shadow lands we know the gift of love,
And how much more will he give his to his children out of his perfection?
His spirit, incomparably beautiful, dwelling in a temple of flesh.
Oh that honest prayer would erupt from within,
A yearning for communion.
Unhindered by fallen perception.
Words cannot mislead the one who searches out the deepest of places.
Decorated desires,
Holy wishes,
Only the most carefully selected requests to bring.
We reason to be heard when the volume of our praise outstrips the request
But really, we can only ask him.
And the surrendered spirit fully exposed to the refining eye of God
Will perhaps know greater intimacy.
A year in the making, another journey bearing days to learn.
To measure these thoughts,
To condense this scattered rhythm,
Would be an anthem of practice
A song to fight stronger with each passing day.
My God, I want to know you more.
This year,
and always,
Please teach me how to pray.

Can Free Trade Guarantee Gains from Trade?
Static and dynamic gains from trade are the reasons why countries embark on the path of free trade, expecting this to promote industrialization and development. There is nothing, however, in the conventional theory of international trade that guarantees that these gains will materialize and even if they do, they may not accelerate industrialization and growth. This is because there are a number of deleterious effects that the same theory omits and/or ignores. They are, inter alia, the monetary effects of trade specialization on the balance of payments, loss of policy autonomy, deindustrialization and jobless growth. When the costs of free trade outweigh its benefits, the slowdown of industrialization and development are the likely results. To avoid this, gradual openness and government intervention are necessary. In this paper, these observations are examined by contrasting the experiences of China and Mexico since these economies introduced trade liberalization. The comparison sheds light on the type of policies that both open and still closed developing economies currently need to implement if they want to reap the static and dynamic gains from trade, and thus make real economic progress.

text: 3 out of 10 was being generous on IGN's part, this game is pure crap, never in my life have I seen a game suck in almost every aspect, the only redeeming quality is the sound, which isnt quite as nice when you hear the same music 50 times in a row when repeating a part of the game. This is the kind of game, that after 2 hours of trying to do finish a level and repeating it so many times, that you want to take your CD out of the drive, and slit the throat of anyone who thought this was a game ready to be sold to retailers. I hope to God this was a rushed product, because if it isnt, it is the most dissapointed premise of a game I have ever played. Heres why, this game attempts to do all things, 1st person shooter, 3rd person shooter, driving/racing, puzzle/strategy, and horror. But heres the thing, IT SUCKS AT THEM ALL. It would have been a decent FPS if it didnt switch to 3rd person every 5 seconds, which pisses me off to no end. It may have been a decent 3rd person shooter if the camera angles didnt go through the floors every time you turn around, and dont get me started on the slow turn movement. The racing aspect of the game is probably the most retarded thing though, not only do the cars handle like crap, but you will often find yourself hitting invisible walls in the middle of the street, and if you attempt to reverse to avoid them, the street will just end up collapsing behind you, instantly killing you and forcing you to restart THE ENTIRE LEVEL. I thank Christ I didnt spend money to buy this game, a 5 dollar rental is more than enough, and im about to send it back to Blockbuster early to spare me the pain of beating this piece of crap. If anyone reads this, do yourself a favor, forget about this game, all it will bring you is endless pain and disapointment.

Hey guys..it pains me to say it, but i am reluctantly selling my beloved Blackmachine B2. These guitars are incredibly sought after and rae, as Doug has stopped taking orders for them, and the waiting list for anyone who was lucky enough to get on it is a couple of years! This is the real deal, not like some of the other cheap imitations that are around. It was made for me in 2006, as you can see from the backplate below which inscribed with the date of completion.
I know if your looking at this, you know your stuff, but these things really are like gold dust. The tone on this guitar is absolutely insane! So clear and defined no matter how much gain yo pile on! There's a reason that these are so sought after!
Its in really good condition, and hardly been used out of the studio since i got it in 2006! There is a small blemish in the top below the neck, and there is also some little dinks on the back, unsderneath the blackmachine plate, but these are very superficial, and it still looks amazing. Ignore the bits of dust in some of the pictures, the camera seemed to amplify what was actually there! No fretware. Plays like a dream! :-)
Please message me before you buy, as i'd much rather not go through paypal, as they will take a large chunk. Cash & Collection preferred, but more than happy to arrange a courier for ... read more

My Blanchard | Locations | Careers
Blanchard Machinery Company's history began in 1952 when the Joseph L. Rozier Machinery Co., a LeTourneau Dealer, moved its operation from the Midwest to central Florida to represent the Caterpillar product line in Orlando. The decision to make the move to Florida was built on the speculation of future growth in the area - speculation that was, of course, fully realized.
Mr. Rozier remained active in the company until his passing in the 1970's, when Mr. Rozier's son-in-law, G. Robert Blanchard, took, the helm. In 1982, seeing a promising opportunity for Caterpillar products in South Carolina, Robert Blanchard established Blanchard Machinery Company. Robert Blanchard remained active in the South Carolina dealership until 1996, when his son, Joe Blanchard, was appointed President.
In 1996, when Joe Blanchard became President of Blanchard Machinery Company, the company was comprised of two divisions, Heavy Construction and Power Systems. Blanchard Machinery has since grown to encompass six divisions and numerous Cat and non-Cat product lines.

any takers? thanks in advance
Okay, this is going to sound
Okay, this is going to sound kind of weird... It's Baker Danmark 5 with an upside down cap E.
Why would it have an upside down E? One possible explanation: Back in the film font days, piracy was a big problem (some things never change). One of the tricks the producers of film fonts did was to flip or rotate one of the letters in the film font print they sent out to a customer they suspected of pirating their fonts. If the font with the flipped letter showed up elsewhere, they had their proof. Typical letters that were flipped or rotated were N, E, and U. I have seen many knock-off fonts in old film font catalogs with "wrong" characters like this.
The other possibility is that the E was flipped purposely by the designer, but I doubt it.
I don't know of any digital version of the Baker Danmark series, so I'm guessing this is from something printed at least a decade or two ago.
Wow. Now that was an
Wow. Now that was an impressive ID! Amazing, Mark.
I don't know. There was
I don't know. There was just something Baker-ish looking about it. The E threw me off at first. Thought it might be some kind of Weiss thing. But then I looked up Baker Danmark and everything else fit exactly.
that really was something
that really was something -- and a bit of type trivia i hadn't heard before... it seems odd that that type designers would lay a trap of that sort; but they didn't have cable tv or internet back then, so people were probably looking for ways to wile away the time.
Supposedly, map publishers
Supposedly, map publishers like Rand McNally did (maybe still do) a similar thing. They would make little "mistakes" here and there on their maps. Maybe a small creek would zig instead of zag. If the same mistake showed up on another publisher's map, they would use this as evidence of copyright infringement and take them to court.
i do much the same thing in
i do much the same thing in that i tie my all-stars with the left-hand overlap instead of the right. you'd be amazed at the shocked faces when i catch the ape-ers.
seriously, i had no idea that type designers (of chartographers) did that sort of thing. but i shouldn't be surprised; chicanery was goudy's middle name. or manutius. i'm checking...
I don't think there is a
I don't think there is a digital version. FYI, here is a scan from an old film font specimen book:

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Football' started by pourcyne, Sep 21, 2013.
Just curious if the gaposis in the scheduling this season bothers anyone else?
Doesn't bother me except we are 0 and 2, instead of 2 and 0.
Schedule sucks no flow to the season this should be game 4 this weekend. Instead I am at work right now. This whole weekend suck for football.
Well, this is the last open week except we've got two straight Thursday games now.
Would it have been just as bad to get an OWI this morning driving home still drunk from four hours ago?
Wasting perfect tailgating weekends.
Clones 17
Prove me wrong, Messingham.
One positive is that Mess can spend all day watching Sportscenter/ESPN News highlights to see how our offense should run, and then try to make that happen on Thursday nights.
No, the players are supposed to watch Sportscenter and figure out how to play like that on Thursday. Haven't you read any of the Hot Mess interviews?
There's no reason that everyone can't watch Sportscenter. Maybe everyone learns something today.
Maybe Sam can just start calling his own plays. They can maybe huddle and he can draw them up in the dirt and they would probably work better then what Mess calls.
Give em the ol Annexation of Puerto Rico.
Everyone needs to keep an eye out for lakebison on college gameday. He'll be the one dominating Herbstreit.
This season has all the makings of a wash anyway, so whatever.
I hate this years schedule. The 0-2 does not help, but waiting two weeks to see if the team can get it's act together is painful. Maybe the coaching staff would approach the season with a little more urgency without the week on, week off schedule. The extra time sure doesn't appear to be put to any use on the offensive side of the ball.
I'm fine with it because I don't have to watch suck this week. Also more games overlap with bball so I can watch that instead of suck.
Oh look. It is a run up the middle and he busts it for a very long gain against NO OPPONENT today at JTS. Mess is chewing his gum today.
Yeah I watched sportscenter this morning and..........Way to go Fresno on your V over boyzee state.....
Iowa may get 6 wins this year.
Wake me when they beat someone with a win. The record of the opp they have beaten is 0-9.

Unbelievable! 1468? We have nothing anywhere near that old here & that's the oldest barn on Barn Charm to date!
Welcome & I'm so glad you linked up! What a beautiful barn, I'm just in awe of it.
- 6 December 2011 at 22:42
- Genie said...
Welcome to Tricia's Barn Charm. You are going to love it. Your first post is beautiful. Love the different styles in the one barn. This must be one fabulous place to visit. Gorgeous scenery. I have now heard of Arley Hall and Gardens and I have not heard of crick barns, but I am going to do my research tonight. You have really stirred up my interest.genie

Well, that first shot makes me feel like I am walking into the belly of a whale! What a sight! I am amazed that anything that old and constructed of wood is still around! And what the heck is a "cruck?"
- 7 December 2011 at 03:30
- Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...
Wow what a fantastic addition to "barn charm' this post was -- quite a different look at a barn for most of us over on this side of the pond. I had to run for my Kindle dictionary to look up "cruck" and of course it makes perfect sense with your picture to illustrate.

Letter(s) from Evgenia Medvedeva to Benjamin (USA)
Letter 1
Sorry!!!!!! I could not answer you earlier.
I did not see your letter. It has been placed in spam folder.
I do not know why it happens.
Probably it is a mistake of a server.
I will disconnect spam filter. Also I hope my letter it will not be placed in yours spam the filter.
Check it more often.
I am glad that you have answered me. If I am still interesting to you, write to me.
am I right that this is you real first name? :-)))
I have taken it from your letter...
My name is Evgeniya. I am 28 years old (still young but mature enough to know what I want in this life).
Also call me shortly Genya. This what usually people who know me well call me.
But also there are different ways to call me tenderly, like Genechka.
My height is 167 cms(it 5.5 foots), my weight is 56 kgs (123.5 lbs).
I am in a good shape. I am not skinny but look really nice.
I am not boasting, it is true.
I take good care of myself as I care of my appearance but I am not fanatic.
I have a higher education. I studied on the faculty of Russian and Ukranian language. So I am very good at Russian and Ukranian as you see I have also finished courses of a medical nurse and can make massage too. I should say I am rather good at it.
My family is not really big. I have a step father and stepbrother.
Unfortunately, I don't have really close relations with them.
Sometimes we gather for holidays but it happens very seldom.
I feel very sad saying this but my mother died from the cancer.
I loved her very much and I miss her badly.
I live alone. And I have to learn for my living. I could work as a teacher of Russian and Ukranian. But teachers get very small salaries in Ukraine. And I need to earn for my living myself.
That's why I have finished courses.
Now I work as a medical nurse in the private clinic.
And I also do massage, it is my extra work. Thus how I earn for my living. I am not complaining but it is really a hard work. I should always be kind and polite though with some people it seems to be impossible. I don't want to loose my job. So I try always to be patient even with rude people.
And what is more important, I get moral satisfaction helping people. It is my contribution into the world.
The city I live in is called Kiev.
This is the capital of the Ukraine.
We have many places of interests and lots of historical places. I enjoy walking there. Also we have some theatres and cinemas.
I want to have my own family very much. You know, family is like a castle. Nobody can't break it if you really love your family and fight for it. It is a place where you come with joy and happiness.
And you feel bad and sad your family will always support you.
This is what I am looking for. I am looking for a person who would be with me in bad and in good times. It is so important to know that there is a person who need you and that you are not alone in this world any more. Do you agree?
Now you will have an idea of who I am.
Ok, I will stop here and tell you more in my next letters.
I will be waiting impatiently for your reply.
Enjoy your day!
yours Evgeniya
P.S. Please, answer me asap that I knew that I am interesting to you.
Letter 2
you know today I has come to see a letter from you and has not found out it.
It will be very pleasant to me to receive it from you.
Why you did not write to me? Or did not you interest at me?
I appeal ask you to write to me because I very much I want to find the good friend and very much I hope that you will become him.
I would like to continue our correspondence very much , of course, if you want the same.
Though I am a little old-fashioned and I think that a man should make the first step, but I really don't feel sorry that I did it and had written a letter to you.
Sometimes I come to the Internet cafe to check my mail or to find some necessary information.
And some of the windows were opened while I was checking the information and suddenly I saw your add. And somehow you have captured my attention.:-) I decided not to miss my chance though I was not sure it was right and that I had to make the first step. But I have no regrets now. I feel a little lost and confused writing all this as you don't know me at all and I don't know you too. But it is so pleasant to get a letter from you.
Well, I hope you are not yet tired from my talking...
Perhaps, you wonder if I write this letters myself.
I speak and write in English rather fluently. I have been studying in the University for 5 years.
At that period we had very difficult times in Ukraine, it was very hard to find any kind of work and there were no work places. So it was the way for me to earn some money. It was not easy for me, I was young and my language was not very good. Also I didn't have any language practice. But any way, it was a good life experience. I made some friends and after work we enjoyed our time. And we had much fun. Unfortunately we have lost our connection. But I still have very good and warm memories about that time.
I am afraid to make you bored with my talking. So I will better stop here.
just one question for you. Why are you looking for a woman the way like this? I think it is very good to have an Internet as it connects people from different parts of the planet and it is great!
If you don't like my question, you don't need to answer.
I will understand.
And now I want to wish you to have a very good day or night.
It depends on the time you will read this letter.
Letter 3
the time is gone and I have not a new letters from you.
Do you have a problems or do not want to write to me?
Please write a reason because I waiting your letters every day and I want to know what happened.
You see, I write letters at home on the list of paper and then go to the internet and type them there.
Hope you will forgive me for sharing all the details of my life with you.
Well, we still don't each other very well but I already feel that we are getting closer to each other. .
Of course, I would like to visit you to understand if we could be a good match. And I think I will do it in the nearest future. Internet can't give you the whole idea of the person you are communicating with. I would like to come to your place for some days to understand this.
But first, we should write letters and understand each other better.
I have never been married and don't have kids.
I can't say that all men in Ukraine are bad. There are good and bad people in any nation.
But most of Ukranian men are very spoilit with women. And they don't care about our feelings. Sometimes they are very rude and the main problem here is that they drink too much alcohol. And I dream to find a caring, tender and understanding man.
And at this moment in my life I have to take care of myself alone.
Therefore I have paid the attention on Internet.
I will now continue telling you more about myself.
Perhaps, more about my interests…
Well, cooking is my hobby. Salads, different soups, pasta, souses, cakes and pies- it is just a short list of what I cook. I like very much to try new things. I also like very much going to the restaurants. Unfortunately, I can't often afford it to myself. I do it very seldom, usually it happens when some of my friends has her birthday party.
I like trying new cuisine and trying to guess what are the ingredients. , what's favorite dish? My is all national.
What is your favorite color? My is blue, black and white.
Watching movies is one of my adorable things to do, especially at the weekend. I have an old model of a video player. Though it is rather old but I still can watch movies on it. So at the weekend I rent some videos or ask my friends to give me some and enjoy it the whole day. Most of all I like to do it in a cold winter day. I stay in my bed with some food, hot tea and enjoy it. I like love stories very much, comedies and sometimes even horror movies.
But I get scared too fast and turn it off What's favorite movie? Any favorite actress and actor?
I like Tom Cruise very much and Angelina Jolie. I think she gorgeous.
I have never been outside the Ukraine. And what about you?
have you ever visit other countries?
Also I like studying languages. I try to improve my English but It is better when someone teachers you and correct you.
Sports is my other hobby. I do jogging, it helps me to be fit. And I also go to the swimming pool as I think it is a very good exercise.
I don't smoke and drink. But smokers does't bother me.
I am Ukrainian Christian Orthodox. I sometimes go to the church on Sunday.
What else… I even don't know. I had so many thoughts in my head but they disappeared as soon as I thought of you personally.
I hope you are enjoying our correspondence as much as I do it and I hope to get your reply very soon.
Please, feel free to ask me any questions you have.
P.S. When is your birthday? My is 30 of November.
P.P.S. I have posted a new pic at my page... What do you think about it?
Letter 4
Is everything fine?
I hope that you are healthy and in a good mood.
Please, take care and write me as soon as possible.
I will be patient, promise.
And one more, please, send me some of your pictures.
Those that you like most of all. I would like to print them and put them on my desk. This way I will feel all this is real.
Sometimes when I get up in the morning I can't believe that you are real and everything that happens to me is real too.
One thought came into my mind today.
I would like to ask you what you value in a person most of all.
Scott, what you value in a woman most of all?
In men I most of all appreciate Kindness, Love and Honesty.
Do you ever watch French movies, old ones and new?
You know, there is something that I like about French women?
Something in their eyes, how they move, how they look at you, how they smile. They are real women. Maybe it is only in movies, but I like this type of women very much. They are very sensual and sexy in their own way.
Appearance is very important but what is more important is one's soul.
When the soul is beautiful, a person looks more beautiful too. But when the soul is dark and dirty, you can always see it on his appearance. I appreciate very much honest, open, easy-going people. The one I could trust and tell what is inside myself. And also a kind person could always make you feel better with his kindness, care and love. I miss my mum so badly. She was a wonderful person, a very caring one.
And she loved me very much. She will always be a very important person for me.
I know she is somewhere there in the Heaven and she watches me and protects me. And I try to do good things in life so she could be proud of me….Sorry, I am trying not cry writing this. It is very difficult. Thank you for being there and listening to me. I feel your support even though you are far from me. But the distance is nothing when two people like each other and feel comfortable with each other. One day there will be no distance between us and we will look into each others eyes and will say everything we feel to each other.
Sorry but I will close here for today. I feel very sad and vulnerable now. I will go home thinking of you. I want to get your letter very much, it will uplift my spirit and I will feel I am not alone any more.
Miss you and your letters...
yours Evgeniya Medvedeva
why you don't write me?????
Letter 5
Hello my dearest one!!!
how are you today? As for me I am not really in the mood.
I have a feeling that I did something wrong.
I have never thought this could happen to me. That I could fell in love with the person I have never seen in my life.
I want to less the distance between us so much, to take your hand, to look into your eyes and to see that you understand my naive soul. I know I shouldn't be so open. I have to be strong and keep everything inside.
I am too emotional but I don't want you to be scared and run away. If I could be closer to you and if I could show you my feelings. I want you so much to see me, to feel my touch.
I would kiss your eyes and say how I love you.
Again I am acting like a silly little girl. I am mad at myself.
But at the same time I can't stop. I want you to know my feelings. I even thought of coming to you. And I have even went the tourist agency to check about the visas. And now I know that the best way for me to come to you is to get a tourist visa. It will not take much time.
And they told me at the tourist agency that I have a very good chance to get it. And it is a very good reason for giving me a visa. I've checked that a visa will cost $360.
(visa, passport and medical insurance)
You know with my salary I just can't afford it. And I will need your help. It's up to you, of course. But I really hope you will be able to help me with getting visa. , please, think about it and let me know.
Do you want me to come to you?
Do you want to meet with me at last? I want it very much.
Hope you too.
I will give you the information for the case you decide to do it.
The best way to send money is to do it via Western Union or MoneyGram. It is an easy and quick way to get it.
It is necessary to know the full name of receiver.
My full name is Evgeniya Medvedeva.
Kiev, Ukraine
And after sending money, the one who is getting money should know an MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number), the sum of money that was sent and the full name of the sender.
Also you can send money on-line!!!
(please visit http://www.westernunion.com and http://www.moneygram.com for more information)
Well, I hope that you will think on this information.
You have lots of food for thought.
Please, write me as soon as possible. I am waiting for your reply.
Love you.
Evgeniya Medvedeva

My preschooler's curiosity is insatiable. Almost every task — no matter what it is — is accompanied by at least a handful of questions.
Of course, she's fascinated by Mommy's tarot and oracle cards. Any time I pull out one of my decks, she wants to "play" with them, too.
I want to encourage her curiosity and allow her to handle the cards but… she's three. Most things she touches end up missing, mangled or both!Continue Reading

I've been having serious Arrow withdrawal symptoms recently; thankfully it returns to our screens next week and today we have a glimpse of what to expect.
We also have a sizzle reel for The Flash to tide us over until his speedy return. We get a look at Gorilla Grodd and Mark Hamill's return as The Trickster.
Check out the trailers below.
