Here are some pics that I took in my home town Binghamton, NY last saturday during an insane aurora borealis. Best one I have ever seen. They were pulsating, which is harder to see unless you are in canada or further north. It was a pretty cool thing to see. Unfortunately it was very windy and alot of my pics came out blurry do to long exposures. I shot them on a Sony f707, its nice camera for the most part, but it sure likes to leave noise. If anyone else has cool nature pics that they have taken feel free to post them here and say what camera you used.

omg, If there's one thing in the world that I want to see, it's an aurora borealis.
I've been to norway alot, never had any luck.
The pictures are quite good, but I don't think any kind of medium can do the real thing justice.
was the green created from the yellow light over the blue sky?
Do you find it annoying that there's green?
cool stuff man!
Wahh, they're really pretty!
The second and third are my favourites. The second because of the mundane telegraph pole in the forefront of the beautiful aurora - and the third becuase of the layered effect of the clouds and the sky, with the forest visible near the bottom.

Thanks for the responses everyone. As an answer to your question Denart, in upstate ny and I am assuming most mid latitudes, the main color of the aurora is green and as it develops more, more colors come into play like the reds and pinks. Atleast that has been my experience with them. The sky is green in some of them due to the long exposure and as the camera gathers more light from the aurora it tends to make the sky green as well. My favorites are the first 2 as well. If anyone cares go to www.spacew.com and check out the reports for auroras.
As the answer to your other question, its only annoying if there is too much grean, I guess it all depends, here is a pic I took last year around this time as well, this one started out green, but later it got some real intense pinks and red. This one is probably my favorite picture I have ever taken.
Thanks for the taking the time to answer me, Matt. So it was green light to begin with...WOW!
Great stuff...nature is awesome! Well shot!
I lived in Rome (NY) for 4 years and never saw one of these bad boys...you jerk thanks for sharing.
I self-published a book on the fundamentals of drawing from life.
you're making me all nostalgic now. i used to live in northern michigan and we would see these every so often. i also had the opportunity once, when camping in canada, to see them pulsing so fast it looked almost like a lightning storm... very surreal.
anyway, cool photos. thanks for tossing these up.

Final thoughts (from me anyway)
Posted by
First, in his first post, it is important to note that Sean was not simply speaking positively of Covenant. My concern was that he passed a general judgment on all seminaries with a doctoral program. As I quoted, "Even when seminary faculty view the PhD program as an extension of ministerial training, because the PhD is oriented toward the academic guild, the overarching ethos of the seminary tends to move away from ministerial training toward professional knowledge." That would seem to be a serious indictment of numerous seminaries, including not just WTS but Southern,TEDS and others as well.
Second, I certainly do not wish to argue that seminaries should not be involved in spiritual formation. But again two things need to be at the centre of discussion here:
First, what is the nature of the relationship between church and seminary and their respective roles? I agree with Sean that seminaries exist to train ministers and those who work with them in the church; and that makes it vital that churches and seminaries reflect long and hard on issues such as the definition of the church, the nature of ministry, the qualifications for ministry, the means of grace etc. I am not wanting to prejudge any of these things but simply to point out that there is a discussion to be had here which does not seem to be taking place.
Second, we need to ask ourselves what exactly spiritual formation and piety are. I suspect that some of the disagreement between Michael, Sean and myself may relate to precisely this point. Indeed, to ask whether we should promote spiritual formation is surely a bit like asking if we should oppose injustice. The answer is obviously yes; but whether we agree on what exactly constitutes injustice and how it is to be opposed is another matter.
Take, for example, the notion of compulsory attendance at seminary chapel, fellowship groups or prayer meetings. Sounds like a plan, as they say in America. But imagine the student who works all night as a security guard and then comes straight from the night shift to an 8.30 am class. Should he be made to stay for chapel at 10.30? Would it not be better for him to go home, to rest up, to be with his wife and children? I would say that that would an act of biblical piety and represent precisely the kind of character trait which Paul sees as a sign of spiritual maturity and qualification for ministerial office in 1 Timothy, esp. chapters 3 and 4.
Or take another student who is very committed to serving in the local church and thus finds that his free time in the evenings and at weekends is at a premium. Should he have to go to chapel or a prayer meeting at seminary when he could use that time to study and thus to free up a little space in the evenings and weekends to be a good father or husband, to be there to read his kids a bedtime story or take his wife out for a nice meal and make her feel a little special? Or perhaps his wife is working to put him through seminary; then maybe his working through chapel and fellowship group times is what enables him to get a passing grade and to honour her sacrifice on his behalf. Again, these actions all look very much like biblical piety and signs of spiritual maturity to me.
And what about me? Am I sinning or showing spiritual immaturity or neglecting my responsibilities to the students when I am absent from seminary chapel, as I very frequently am? What if I use that time to read and to study so that my classes will be more competently taught? Or to meet one-on-one with students, and that not to talk about how they are 'feeling' about their spiritual 'journey' but to discuss the arguments of their academic papers? What if I simply want to sit down and have a cup of coffee after an intense two hour class rather than go to a fellowship group? Are my choices necessarily unspiritual ones? Might they not actually help to make me a more, not less, competent professor and minister? And, if I choose simply to rest or catch up on paperwork, does this not mean that I have more time in the evenings to be a father and husband?
Of course, I consider spiritual formation to be a good thing -- self-evidently so, just like rugby union, fine cognac and all and every satirical parody written by Craig Brown. But I refuse to accept any necessary dichotomy between book learning and spirituality. As Warfield did, so I too believe that study can and should be done with passionate spiritual devotion. Like Luther, I repudiate the medieval notion of a hierarchy of spiritual and unspiritual callings, even when refracted through the lens of Protestant evangelicalism. And I see the first and most important way I help 'spiritually form' my students to be telling them that they need to study hard and be passionately committed to their local churches and, if they have them, to their wives and children. And I also agree with Jesus: when confronted by the Pharisees, his answer to their defective piety was often not to tell them to attend more fellowship meetings but an urgent encouragement to them to study books not less but more: 'Have you not read....?'
This discussion is important. But let us not assume at the outset that even the terms of debate are matters of agreement. We need first of all to define exactly what is the role of seminaries relative to the church; and, perhaps just as fundamentally, in what exactly biblical piety and spiritual maturity consist. Only then can any constructive thinking about spiritual formation really take place.

Why is Entropy a concave function of internal energy?
View Single Post
Jan14-13, 07:20 AM
I may well be all wrong about this but I am trying to understand from a microscopic point of view why Entropy is a concave function of internal energy. I found this in the following .pdf:
I started from this
wikipedia article
and i understand why, if the particles composing the system have a limited number of available energy levels, then S(E) first increases and then decreases.
But saying that S(E) is concave should mean:
- when the temperature is T1, if i give a dE to the system its entropy increases of dS1
- when the tempereture is T2>T1, if I give the same dE to the system, its Entropy increases only of dS2 < dS1
I cannot see this with single particles.
If I have N particles in their lowest energy state there is only one microstate: all the particles are still.
If I give to this system the tiniest possible amount of energy, it will be taken by just one of the particle, so the possible microstates are N.
If I add another dE, the possible microstates should be N + N(N-1) = N^2 ... that is or one particle gets both dE or two different particles get it. Every time I add a dE I should increase the power of N.
Now, if the entropy is somehow proportional to the logarithm of the number of microstates, I should get S proportional to K ln(N^E), that is, something that is proportianl to E... taht is, no concavity
I am sure I am getting all this wrong... could you please help me understand this?
Thank You

Who doesnt? Im looking for 2-3 corny kegs, preferably ball lock. Im in Columbus OH, but will pay to ship if price is reasonable. These would be my first kegs!!!
"What do you use to weigh down your hop spider?"
I'm also looking for 2.5 gallon and 3 gallon kegs.
I'm in youngstown, Ohio. I used to live in Dublin/Columbus area for 5 years and just moved back. I have a great source for getting 15 gallon sanke kegs that are in great condition. If you need any let me know and i can put you in contact with this person.
I use the 15 gallon sanke kegs to ferment 10-12 gallon batches in and to also store Starsan solutions and PBW solutions.
who ever sent me a PM about the 15 gallon kegs, PM me again, I deleted your messages and have no way to contact you again
Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and things with... molecular structures.
Thats a average price too. I'd pick them up if I were you.
Just might! It's definitely closer than Bucyrus. Why is it if I search 'keg' that listing doesn't show? Thanks!
I always type home brew equipment when I troll craigslist.
Got both of em for $65! Thanks for the tip
wow thats a good deal, is that shipped?
Picked up locally, 20 minute drive- haven't had time to get them yet, but he knows I'm coming. Hope this guy doesn't flake out on me.

What would you do if the peace and quiet you struggled so hard for was taken away in a brutal replay of the past? Would you fight back? What would you discover along the way? (Cloud/Zack,YAOI/HET)
This is an AU fic which means I did not take AC or DoC into consideration--they never happened. However, with the release of Crisis Core, I am using major events from that, so spoilers will come eventually. It takes place five years after the events of FFVII and contains a few original characters. I tried my best to make them believable, so I'm sorry if they aren't. I don't have a beta for this one! Anyway, I welcome any and all comments (good or bad). Hope to see what you guys think about it.
5 Long Years
Located deep within the bowels of the newly constructed building, men and women in scrubs and white lab coats stood in their designated positions. One on either side of the hospital bed, another--their superior--lingered near the foot, arms crossed over his chest; observing. He stood six feet tall, sporting dark brown hair with shades of salt and pepper growing modestly from his temples, and peered through sharp green eyes. He was schooled in the finest medicines and sciences that such a company could provide- very well educated and respected; this particular man had brought another back to life.
Through his protective mask, he spoke.
"Go ahead."
A nurse to the patient's right stood near the machine that had been keeping the patient alive. As of now, his body had been declared stable enough to do achieve that on its own. She flipped the switch in the off position and watched, waited as the light ceased to glow. The machine settled moments later from a dull hum to silence. It was simply a matter of time before they knew for sure whether or not their efforts proved successful.
"Vitals are good," the nurse pointed out. She glanced over her shoulder and waited for a reply.
"Alright," the man said after a moment, arms at his sides now, "Let's bring him out."
Success - after such along time, enduring so much adversity, trying and failing - No more. No more.
"Congratulations." His eyes narrowed, creasing; the only visible expression behind the mask. "This one is a keeper." To his right, an associate of his higher up stood patiently out of the way. "Contact the president. He'll want to know."
- -
Out of the midst of the darkness, from the depths of a pleasant dream; a telephone chimed noisily and incessantly in the dark-haired man's ear. Though half asleep, he batted aimlessly around the nightstand in search of the racket, somehow managing to answer without knocking it over. "Yes?" Reeve grumbled, not trying to sound the least bit awake.
"Mr. Reiben has requested for your presence, Mr. Tuesti," the other voice spoke. It was probably a secretary working after hours. "He says he would like to meet you at headquarters right away."
"Can't it wait?" the dark haired man griped. He was finding it hard to stay awake having caught a glimpse at the time--3:14 AM.
"N-no, sir. He says it's urgent."
Of course. It's always urgent...
After a brief moment of silence passed and most likely some tension on the other end of the line, Reeve let out a heavy sigh and sat upright against the headboard. "Alright." With an index finger and a thumb, he rubbed his weary eyes. "Tell him I'll be there as soon as I can."
- -
They rendezvoused in the lobby on the first floor instead of his office, where Reiben led them to a more private area so they could speak without being interrupted.
"What is so important that I had to be awakened at three in the morning?" a still rather drowsy, noticeably irritated, Reeve asked.
Reiben was just as tall as Reeve but with shorter, blonder hair combed back neatly; a few years younger and somewhat lankier. He shut the door behind them and turned to face his partner; the look on his face was enough to tell the dark-haired man that this might not be such a good meeting.
It took Reiben a moment to begin as he searched for the right words. "There've been talks lately, as you're already aware of, about Rufus' role here at ShinRa and where he fits among the restoration of this company. And it just so happens to be that the board is...leaning in favor of dismissing him from his current position."
Reeve frowned in reply, "What!?"
"They're afraid of what the citizens might do. All anyone has to go on is what came of his father's reign, and the struggle he's been dealing with to restore his good name since. No one trusts Rufus anymore. They want him out before there's anymore of a chance to screw things up. If the people turn on the company then the board will go down with him. It was unanimous - there's no doubt that they want him gone."
For a moment, the only thing Reeve could do was stand there, slack-jawed and wide-eyed; desperately trying to process the information he'd just been given. It was a shock, to say the least, and a blessing rolled into one. It seemed impossible in the beginning, to oust the owner of his own company. But with the help of, basically, the entire world, it seemed as though the job was handling itself.
"So," the dark-haired man began slowly; reiterating for his own sake. "Let's say, whenever they meet again to take the vote, Rufus is ousted and the company no longer has a president. Who exactly do they have in mind to take his place?"
"Well..." The concern on Reiben's face soon turned to a smirk. There had been other news, of course. "After reviewing a significant number of qualified candidates, they've narrowed it down to only a handful of people - you, being among the few."
"Me? I-"
Before he had a chance to finish, Sao interjected. "Isn't that great!? All your hard work has finally paid off! They're really considering you!"
Reeve stumbled to an open chair and plopped himself down as it felt like his knees would give out. He was absolutely stunned, speechless, yet thrilled to have been awakened to hear the good news. Their eyes met; a sparkle of excitement glimmered brightly, promising good news to come. There was nothing more to say.
It was simply a matter of time.

One Year Later
Cold. Everything was cold. He'd woken up so fast this time that it was hard to tell whether or not he was still asleep. But after a few moments passed, the jaded blond found his breath again and sat trying to find a steady rhythm. The one thing he absolutely did not want was to wake the brunette sleeping peacefully beside him. Though the General found it hard to keep his composure after such nightmares, he managed to calm down enough to silently slip out of bed.
On the balcony in the back of the bar--having been rebuilt two years after the destruction of Midgar--Cloud leaned against the railing and closed his eyes as the wind blew softly against his clammy skin. He was burning up. A thin film of sweat covered his entire body while his heart continued to slow to its regular pace. Everything else around him was tranquil it seemed. The only noises he could make out were a car or two passing by out front. At three in the morning, the city was pretty quiet.
There were still goose bumps along his arms and a tingling in his fingers. Somehow, he couldn't shake the feeling that the nightmare had left. A long lost ache in his heart suddenly pulsed and stirred; it came to life, though bleary and unfocused. For some reason, he thought of Zack...
Without warning, from behind, the General felt a pair of slender hands wrap around his waist. When she pressed her body against his back, he realized it was Tifa; no doubt having roused her as well. "Again?" she murmured, face pressed against his skin.
"...Sorry," Cloud mumbled. He stood upright and turned around to take her into his arms.
"It's okay." Tifa closed her eyes and reveled in the warmth of the General's arms. They'd been together for three years now, after some rough patches and a lot of thinking on Cloud's part. There were even talks of marriage, but the notion was still under heavy discussion. He usually dodged the issue when it popped up, or fell into a sullen silence. She had a sneaking suspicion that it had something to do with Aeris... "Care to talk?"
"Just the usual," he replied with a sigh, and pressed his cheek against the top of her head.
"Are you sure? They seem to be getting worse lately..."
Cloud was silent for a moment. He didn't know exactly what to say. It was true; they had been getting worse, but why? That was a question he couldn't quite answer just yet. "I'll be fine."
"Well, maybe you should try and get some sleep. You /are/leaving in a few hours..."
Back to work yet again; away from the bar, from Marlene, Denzel and Tifa.
"...Yeah," the blond agreed.
- -
Located fifteen minutes [by land] north east outside of the city of Edge, ShinRa's military headquarters sat in avast panorama of sand and sky. The building was quite large considering how many purposes it fulfilled. One of them was to house the office of General Strife.
He made his way into the front entrance, and through the lobby at a quick pace. Inside, Cloud was greeted warmly by a young woman sitting behind the front desk, as well as given a note which had come just minutes prior to his arrival. As he began to walk away, he thanked the secretary with a nod and headed towards his office, but he wouldn't get too far.
From around the corner, a young man about the age of the blond, though brunet, nearly collided with him. "Good to see you back, General!" he beamed and saluted. Cloud just rolled his eyes.
"Don't call me that."
"Right," Hughes smirked. "I forgot. You're much too humble to accept the title you've earned." The slightly taller man threw an arm around Cloud's shoulder and began to walk them towards the way he was headed. Not a lot of people were close enough to the General that they would even dare so much as to touch him. But Hughes had the advantage of becoming close to his higher up during the last few years. It also helped quite a bit that he reminded him so much of Zack... "So, how are things on your first day back?"
Wiggling from Hughes' embrace Cloud replied with, "I just got here. What about you?"
"Very well, thanks for asking. The wife and kids were sad to see me go, as always. But I don't anticipate anything unexpected to pop up this time."
It wasn't long before they reached the General's office where Cloud mindlessly unlocked the door and strode in. Hughes followed hot on his trail but remained lingering near the entrance as he had work of his own to attend to. "If you behave yourself, maybe I'll let you go home early," the blond joked. This particular soldier, though high in rank, was still his subordinate.
"I do appreciate your bigheartedness, General, but I'm afraid I can't stay." He then turned but stopped in the doorway, adding one last thing before taking off. "Oh, and you've got a bit of work to do yourself. Catch' ya later."
Cloud watched indignantly as the door slammed shut in his wake and eventually let out a heavy sigh. Unsurprisingly, stacked neatly on the top of his desk, were two piles of folders just waiting to be completed.
- -
Three hours of nothing but skimming and signatures, and the General thought his hand would nearly fall off. Having had enough for the time being, Cloud tossed the pen on top of the desk and leaned back into his chair. It felt good to take a break, but the fact that he wasn't done just yet still managed to ruin his relaxation.
Never before did the ex-SOLDIER think that he would end up sitting behind a desk, sifting through papers. Although that was merely one aspect of the job, it did take up quite a bit of time. Cloud didn't mind it much though, scribbling his name on a dotted line, or even spending any time in an office, but the overall notion of obtaining such a high status - General /- /a rank he gazed upon with admiration and awe, seemed more important than this.
Hankering to throw his legs up on the desk, the spiky blond was about ready to when a set of knocks sounded at the door. He groaned out of annoyance and sat up straight instead. "Come in..."
When the door opened, a sergeant by the name of Dax appeared and raised his hand in a salute. "You have a visitor, sir."
/Who could it be?/Cloud thought as he rose from the chair. "Send him in."
Dax nodded, stepped back into the hall and authorized the company permission to enter. Whoever it was, was better than those files. Any distractions Cloud could get, he would take. Fortunately for him, it was someone he knew and not just another order of business. As Cid strolled in through the doorway, he looked rather upset, but it was the soldier's job to be firm with visitors. Not just anyone could get inside the General's office without reason--even close, personal friends.
"You really gotta do somethin' about this," Cid griped and stepped in further as Dax shut the door.
"Cid," Cloud said with a smile.
The pilot smiled as well. "Long time no see, eh?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I had a delivery and decided to drop by. They're unloading right now, s'matter of fact."
Cloud nodded and extended his hand towards the couch to offer his company a seat. Cid was already on his way, as he made himself comfortable on the black leather couch that rested in between two bookshelves. In front of the couch sat a mahogany coffee table, as well as a desk and other random pieces of furniture scattered about the room. In fact, the pilot noticed that Cloud's office was rather luxurious--/much/ nicer than anything he'd ever had the pleasure of seeing, or sitting on.
"This place," Cid began, "is really nice. They're treating you pretty good here, huh?"
Having not become accustom to it himself just yet either, Cloud shrugged and sat in the seat adjacent to the pilot. "It's alright, but I have to be honest. I miss lounging around the bar."
With a smirk, Cid leaned forward to say, "I'll tell you what you're missin-" but he barely finished his sentence before the spiky blond stopped him in his tracks. Cloud knew very well what Cid had in mind, and of course he missed Tifa, but he was used to being alone.
"Anyway, I don't think it's going to be very busy this time around. Maybe I can head home within a couple of weeks."
"Looks like you're already bein' put to work," Cid gestured towards the pile of folders.
"Yeah," Cloud sighed,"first hour back and they've got me signing papers."
In response, a hearty laugh escaped the pilot. "First hour back and it looks like you could use a drink." The General merely rolled his eyes in agreement, and stood as the pilot began to rise from the couch. "Anyway, I should get going before they screw somethin' up. But I'm gonna be in town for the next day or two. We should meet up again if you've got the time. Get a drink or somethin'?"
"Alright, don't work yourself too hard," Cid replied and showed himself out. For now, it was back to work.
- -
/ ..."These files...there are so many.../My life's work.../his work...They've been answered. My prayers have been answered!".../
From behind, a set of gentle raps sounded against the door. "Professor Holt?" a voice called out. The older man, in his fifties, sat behind a desk. He was tall, built thin with sharp, distinct features. He had a warm semblance to his face. Those eyes were very welcoming and kind. Nicholas was his name. Professor Nicholas Holt - one of ShinRa's finest scientists.
"Yes, come in," Holt answered, still seated in his chair. He rushed to finish writing something and then joined his lab assistant at the counter.
"I have the files you requested."
Joshua, who preferred to be addressed by his first name, handed the folders to Professor Holt. "I completely forgot about these," the professor smiled.
"There are a few more left in the military's database, but I'm having trouble getting them," Joshua explained.
"No, no it's alright,"Holt said and waved a dismissive hand. "You've done enough. I'll try and get the rest myself. But you are still working on the samples, correct?"
"Oh yes! I've managed to turn the Mako you've given me to a concentrated form."
"Wonderful! Then your job will be much easier," the professor said with a smile. He then returned to his desk to sit down, looking rather disheartened at the paperwork stacked randomly around and on his desk. "I don't suppose, Joshua, that you would mind staying a bit late to help finish up some of these reports?"
"Of course not, sir. It'd be a pleasure."
I can get back to reading his work, then.
- -
Everything was done. At least for now, Cloud could relax - or so he thought. Work never failed to fall into his lap; it seemed, after having just completed yet another task. But the blond was pulled out of his thoughts, when someone knocked frantically on the door just a few moments later. "Yes, come in," Cloud sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"General, sir?"
When the door swung open, the sergeant took a step back, seeing how irritated he looked. "Yes, what is it?"
"Uhh...Lieutenant General Hughes needs to see you in his office right away. He says it's important."
In the pit of his stomach, the blond knew something was off. He had no other choice but to see what it may be.
- -
When the door opened and Cloud stepped in, he spotted Hughes sitting behind the desk with a small radio. "I got a report from the ruins of Midgar. There's been a monster sighting."
The General frowned and stepped forward. "What do you mean?"
"Apparently a man passing by the Midgar ruins was chased down and nearly killed by a pack of stray monsters. He said it's the first time that's ever happened to him out of the two years he's been doing it."
Cloud took a seat. "Did he say what type?"
"No, but I've sent a team of men to check it out. They should be setting up their equipment right now. I'm just waiting for some word on the situation."
A brief moment of silence passed before either of them said anything. But before they could, the radio crackled to life.
"...Lieutenant General, sir...?"
"Go ahead, soldier."
"We've set up a station located in the north east section of the city. So far, we've only spotted a handful of them."
"What are they doing?"
"...Well, it appears as if they're...looking for something."
Hughes frowned at Cloud in response to the soldier's reply. "Looking for something?" he echoed.
"Yes, sir."
"How many have you counted?"
"About seven as of now."
"Hmm," the Lieutenant General grumbled and glanced down at his desk. There was not much communication for the next few minutes. The only thing either of them could do was wait anxiously at the edge of their seats for a reply. Since, from the office, their options were limited.
"The monsters, there are more of them now."
"Yes and they've all began to shift for ShinRa HQ. It appears as if they're...trying to get inside."
Hughes glared skeptically at Cloud and asked, "What could they be looking for?"
"They can't get in there," the General said. "It's impossible."
The sound of static echoed from the radio, but the signal cleared once the soldier continued. "They're burrowing through the wreckage."
"Alright then. Keep an eye out on their behavior and report back to me when you've got more information."
"Understood, sir."
When the Lieutenant General turned his attention back to Cloud, the blond was already standing from his chair and heading towards the door. "Where are you going?" Hughes asked.
"To check it out myself."
"Wait, what? Why? I sent them out there already so you wouldn't have to!" But Cloud was already halfway down the hall, too far to stop.

There is a woman who lives outside of Bukittinggi and produces kopi luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world. If you go to her house, she will give you a nice presentation about the coffee and show you the process, and you are also able to buy some. $2 for a cup (which is much more than the usual $0.20 in Indonesia) or $20 for a bag.
Why is kopi luwak so special? From Wikipedia:
It is made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets, then passed through its digestive tract.[1] A civet eats the berries for their fleshy pulp. In its stomach, proteolytic enzymes seep into the beans, making shorter peptides and more free amino acids. Passing through a civet's intestines the beans are then defecated, keeping their shape. After gathering, thorough washing, sun drying, light roasting and brewing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee with much less bitterness, widely noted as the most expensive coffee in the world.
The cat poop coffee was quite tasty, but I don't know if it would be worth the $40 or so per cup it usually is in other countries.

The Aboriginal home, Australia, was discovered by James Cook after his departure from England to explore the South Seas in 1768. He named it New South Wales, and after he departed, no one visited the island continent for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately for the Aborigines, events far from their land would soon impact their lives. After the British colonies declared independence, England needed a new place to house its criminals (previously, they had been shipped to North America). In 1788, England began building prisons in Australia, which signified the beginning of the end of Aboriginal dominance of the continent.
The Aborigines in Australia suffered an experience during this European colonization that was similar to that of the indigenous populations of the Americas. Aborigines were driven from their lands or killed by unfamiliar diseases. And because Aborigines were nomadic hunter-gatherers, they faced a serious risk of starvation, because colonization prevented them from roaming freely over their lands in search of food. Many of those who survived were forced into slavery, and entire tribes died out completely. Aborigines numbered in the hundreds of thousands when Australia was discovered, but their numbers dropped dramatically soon after colonization. Because of this disruption, much of Aboriginal culture and history has been lost.
Troubles continued thereafter for the remaining Aborigines. In Australia, "The Stolen Generation" refers to almost 100,000 children of Aborigines who were removed from their parents' custody between the years 1910 and 1970. The Australian government's rationale for this, reportedly, was that Aboriginal people had high levels of alcoholism and drug addiction, criminal behavior and infant death, and it was hoped that by being separated from Aboriginal society, the children would grow up free of these troubles. Unfortunately, the children were not accepted into Australian society, due to their race, and they suffered emotionally. The Australian government delayed for many years apologizing to the Aboriginal parents and children. The government was afraid of lawsuits and claims for reparations. But in 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd formally apologized for the treatment of the Aborigines by the Australian government.

"Pulling in" artists from an ever widening area of the South and Midlands - our toned and skilled models continue to present interesting, relevant and dynamic poses.
Although the All Day Sunday Workshops started over 7 years ago as a means of delivering high quality figurative Drawing sessions for the artists of Swindon and based soleley on the modelling of Rosemarie Orwin - over the years, the events quickly broadened to include a wide range of talented models brought in from London, Exeter and beyond - to provide variety for the artists attending on a regular basis.
Artists at the September's workshop (another full house) were able to produce many superb pieces as they worked from and with the model for the day - who in addition to his modelling and rigorous "keep fit" regimen, is also a professional diver. The quality and variety of the models are amongst the many points making these sessions so popular.
Click on the image of the workshop in progress to navigate through to the section on Life Drawing to find out more and to see how to book your place on one of the forthcoming sessions in October / November.
September 2011
Due to the success of Modelled me UK in running Figurative Classes and Workshops in
2009, the Register of Artists Models (RAM) asked Rosemarie to take on the role of
co-ordinating the embrionic Life Drawing HenParties.
The continued success of this venture has surprised all who are involved, with new Tutors
and Models being brought in to the team to cope with the ever increasing demand.
In the first two years of the business, the spring and summer saw the expected peak in the
number of hen parties taking place, but in 2011 the hen parties just "Keep on Coming"!
Bookings are already in place for events across the UK well into 2012
and the usual Autumnal downturn in events has so far not been seen.
Indeed, on average, in September there are still in excess of 20 parties each weekend across the UK.
Whilst these events are always fun - we are delighted to know that they are also a superb introduction to Life Drawing to a growing group of individuals who as a result of the Hen Parties - contact local clubs and societies to take up this increasingly popular art form. Who would have thought it - Hen Parties contributing to Art in the UK!
More News to follow shortly!

"A 'squeaky wheel' isn't the highest priority project. It's the loudest or most noticed. In many organizations, it gets the grease, while projects with greatest potential to bring about business results get delayed or set aside." This quote, from the book Everything's A Project, is playing like a mantra in my thoughts. We focus on squeaky wheels because they are irritating, not because they are important. We want the irritation to go away. But oil isn't the answer.

5 ideas for improving how you manage people
As a manager, you are responsible for a wide range of activities. Recruiting. Establishing a positive work environment in your group. Setting expectations. Managing performance. Making decisions. Coaching. Dealing with poor or marginal performers. Each of these responsibilities requires a unique blend of Relating and Requiring skills. Are you using the right combination, in each situation, to get great business results and foster strong relationships?
Employee engagement: a three-legged stool
Many authors have written about people management, project management or corporate culture as separate topics. But a new book by Ben Snyder ties together all three subjects and paints a clear picture of how they interact to nurture (or damage) employee engagement and organizational performance. Read this review, find the book and set fire to the status quo.

Found March 13, 2013 on Waiting For Next Year:
PLAYERS: Gary Barnidge, Norv Turner
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers
The Cleveland Browns are expected to sign free agent tight end Gary Barnidge, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports. #Panthers free agent TE Gary Barnidge expected to sign w/ #Browns, per league source. #Chudconnection — Joe Person (@josephperson) March 13, 2013 Barnidge, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, has a connection to Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski. He played in all 16 games in 2012, hauling in six passes — on six targets — for 78 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year old is a big target at 6-feet-5-inches and will likely provide inexpensive depth at the depleated tight end position in Cleveland. He was the fifth-round selection by the Panthers in 2008 and made just $615,000 last season. A seam-stretcher, Barnidge provides speed and atleticism and was said to have fit into Rob Chudzinski's offense when the two shared time in Carolina. The Panthers were really high on Barnidge's potential as a downfield threat before he broke his ankle in the second preseason game in 2011. Given offensive coordinator Norv Turner's penchant for including tight ends in the passing game, this signing makes complete sense. [Related: NFL Free Agency: A 2013 Version of "Plan B?"]

A "Birds of A Feather" discussion on Tuesday, 12 August at 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM in the Vancouver Convention Centre, East Building, Room 2
Are the pressures of employment affecting how we teach? Some animation programs focus first on software and current skills while others stress lifelong learning. What is the best balance?
President Obama has created a score card that "grades" American universities for cost, graduation rates, loan defaults and job opportunities. Should animation educators focus on making sure students get that first job to pay back their loans, or build the creative capital to be directors, or award-winning artists one day? Like so many in the animation community, educators also walk that never-ending fine line, trying to find a balance between industry and art.]]>

That was the underwater geocaching on June 10
What a good time we had! On June 10 we played to find treasures under the sea at the Estartit Coast. We put on our suit , regulator, bottle, mask, fins and …. splish-splash. Thanks to the treasure map we could find different swims in the seabed.
We handed out all the prizes and we even gave chocolate lollipops to all the Swimmers divers.
Here you have the video:

And what about that big city where you discovered art galleries and wonderful jazz bars to listen to a great live music?
When spring comes, this T-shirt will come in handy to protect yourself from the sun on the beach or to protect yourself from the cold when you dive.

Fraud may have been the decisive reason, but still nearly half of the people voted for Obama. The Republican establishment failed us again because they share many of the false narratives that close democrats in their circle of illusions. The media talking heads share those illusions. How do you break out of the Alice in Wonderland world? Grass roots work a the state and local level. States have the power to adopt school choice, and can resist a lot of Federal mandates if they are willing to live without federal money. Let's get going, we have a country to save.

"It's unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you've been playing all your life," Mickey Mantle said about baseball - and it is true on all accounts.
At this very moment, the Chicago Cubs are standing in dead last place in their division while the city is torn apart by the plans to improve a park that's seen better days.
But there's one part of this organization that is working. While he may have been met with a vicious blacklash of criticism, he doesn't really care what you think.
When Clark the Cub was debuted in January at the Cubs Convention, initial reaction was less than thrilled. Social media around Chicago lit up with fiery fan debate about the organization's new kid-friendly mascot.
But head on over to Clark's Cubhouse in Wrigley on any given game day and you'll find a seemingly endless line out the door of the next generation of fans waiting to meet the big bear himself – proving that Clark has gotten the last laugh…though, still no pants.
But why is Clark so popular?!
FOX 32's Jake Hamilton went to the one source who would have them - Clark. But he wasn't talking.
In the end, maybe it doesn't matter, all those faces don't care that the Cubs are in last place or that Wrigley Field is falling apart - they're just happy to be there.
So job well done, Clark.

John Massé, creator and designer of well-known animated children's characters, heads up the innovative weekly online drawing series called Muffalo Potato. Produced by Maslen Entertainment, the concept touts "Learn To Draw In Minutes Using Only Letters and Numbers." New fast-paced video episodes are released every Saturday morning on MuffaloPotato.com as well as their YouTube channel: Youtube.com/muffalopotato. The episodes feature John Massé, the co-creator and creative force of the program, and his friendly, blue-haired sidekick puppet, Muffalo Potato.

Currently, the short and lighthearted episodes feature kid friendly, entertaining programs instructing children how to draw animals such as walrus, flamingos, giraffes and turtles. Massé says, "I decided to take all of my experience creating and drawing internationally recognized animated characters, and share just how easy it is by simply using this innovative teaching technique." Each drawing is comprised of nothing more than letters and numbers in order to create the completed drawings. Massé goes on to say, "It's Sesame Street meets Mr. Rogers meets Pee Wee's Playhouse, and the goal is to get people interested in art and how much fun it can be." To date, multiple episodes are available with a new release continuing indefinitely every week. The website even offers a free downloadable app so that kids can learn how to draw on the go.
Massé says, "In a time where art programs are being cut from schools, we've come up with a way to deliver the entertaining 'Learn To Draw' series at no cost to the user." The producers are currently working with teachers in the Los Angeles area to set up live shows within the classroom. On the Muffalo Potato website, teachers can find out how to incorporate the "Learn To Draw in Minutes" concept within their own lessons. "When I was a kid," says Massé, "my dad taught me and my sisters how to draw pretty much anything simply by using letters and numbers. Those great memories are what inspired me to create Muffalo Potato."

Carney | February 25, 2013 | 12:00 am According to a very wise Catholic teaching, when one gives into temptation, the greatest culpability lies not at the moment of surrendering to temptation, but at knowingly putting oneself in a situation of temptation. I think this is relevant to Northern Virginia today. Gov. Bob McDonnell is on a crusade to stop sequestration — the automatic spending cuts prescribed by the 2011 budget deal....

Half life 2: Deep Down (Steampipe Version) 1.3Jun 27, 2013 Full Version 5 comments
Updated Voice Acting Several Major Bugs With Alyx resolved Ending issues fixed
Firmly sticking to the Half Life 2 formula, Deep Down is a new entry in the story of Alyx and Gordon as they continue the hunt for Combine Advisors in the area surrounding White Forest.
Combine Forces, Zombies and Antlions lay between them and the brooding menace deep below the earth that will test both their skills further than ever before.
If you miss the Half Life 2 formula and are tired of waiting patiently for Episode 3 then this mod is for you. Featuring new gameplay elements, fiendish puzzles and blistering action, Deep Down will provide your Half Life 2 fix (well some of it at least).
17 comments by Jim_Partridge on May 25th, 2013
Finally made it over the finish line after a drama filled few weeks of technical issues with Source SDK. Deep Down is my attempt to recreate the game-play and style of Episode 2. I had no idea it would be so challenging. I must have lost days of my life trawling through audio files trying to find just the right phrase for each moment. Someone should seriously catalog this stuff.
In this mod you'll find 5 maps filled with combat and puzzles and hopefully some things you haven't seen before. I'm calling this version 1.0 as I'm sure there's room for improvement.
I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making it.
Jim Partridge
Ooh one more thing.
There are several hidden unofficial achievements built into the mod and I'll let the community at large figure them out.
The mod rewards curiosity so keep your eyes peeled and explore all you can...

FANTASTIC! Loved this mod. Great atmosphere. Like the fact that it's not just a shoot-em-up but makes you think your way around places. Can't wait for more.

Inherited metabolic diseases comprise a large class of genetic diseases involving disorders of metabolism. The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substances (substrates) into others (products). In most of the disorders, problems arise due to accumulation of substances which are toxic or interfere with normal function, or to the effects of reduced ability to synthesize essential compounds.

Awsome food, great service, great atmosphere, this our now our favortive and special place to treat ourselves to a good dinner and time out.
The Swan at Salford is a traditional pub with a nice bar area and serving food throughout the day 12pm to 10pm. The menu varies with a more restricted menu available 3pm to 6pm, but even the restricted menu has soup, Camembert, burger, sausage and mash, rump steak and Caesar Salad. Prices range from about £4.50 to £6.00 for starters, and £9.75 to £19.50 for mains.
There are some interesting Deli Boards to share: so we tried the charcuterie one with chorizo, salami, honey roast ham, rustic bread and chutneys for £8.75. For the mains we had Caesar salad, free-range roast chicken, crispy bacon & anchovies for £10.50 and 28 day dry-aged Aberdeenshire 10oz Porterhouse steak, fat chips, corn on the cob and béarnaise sauce for £19.50.
The food was all well prepared and tasty, and the service was good too.
Nice looking pub with well laid out restaurant. Food menu was good but I was disappointed with my choice which was very dry. I had ordered the fish dish but was told that no fish had arrived that day so had to quickly make another choice which turned out to be pretty tastless. It may be that we were unlucky on the day.
The Swan is a lovely pub in a lovely setting with friendly and helpful staff. Which to be honest is quite a rareity for Milton Keynes.
They offer a great selection of lunches as well as very nice higher end al a carte dinner menu. Making it the perfect place to go enjoy a couple of drinks and a sharing platter in lovely garden for lunch. Or indeed very nice place for dinner for two or indeed a good party venue.
This is one of the best that I've been to in the Milton Keynes area. Near the crossroads of a small village, close to the new town. Menu varies, quite a lot of seasonal food and they appear to take care to offer fish and vegetarian dishes too. Tables are reasonably spaced. Popular at lunchtime and evening - good idea to book ahead.
i am very unimpressed
Extraordinarily good food - always a great selection of 'specials' with a focus on quality, local ingredients. I've eaten here a number of times and every time I've been delighted by the high quality menus, unpretentious and knowledgeable staff and pleasant surroundings. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Is it me or…
are both the Alien (from the film Alien) and the Vortex Queen (from Ecco the Dolphin) from the same messed up species?
They're both effin' scary I know that much!
Early childhood trauma, anyone?
Full art that is featured on the cover of Ecco: The Tides of Time for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive and SEGA CD.
"The Next Evolutionary Step in Underwater Adventure Games" as Ecco The Dolphin creator Ed Annunziata describes his Kickstarter project, will feature Creature Cards.
Here's how those weird and Innovative Game Cards work:
"Creature Cards are real printed cards. Each card represents a specific creature. At first, we will publish about 30 different kinds at different levels of rarity. The cards will be available for sale directly from our website.
Some of the creatures exist today, like killer whales or great white sharks. Some are fictional that will exist 1 million years in the future, like the Sea Dragons.
Each card will have an image of the creature and stats about it like how fast it is, how deep it can go, how rare it is, etc.
Printed on each card will be a unique Creature-Code. When you enter the code into the game, that specific creature is spawned into your environment. Any creature you own, you may control directly. Owning the card means you own the creature.
In a very cool way, the Creature Codes are physical examples of a core concept to the game, that life is ultimately information. Creatures are encoded onto the card. The Creature Codes act just like DNA.
At anytime you may remove the creature from the game, and put it back on the card. When you turn the creature back into a creature code it disappears from the game space and the code is re-enabled.
The cards are totally optional and are NOT required to play the game."
Ecco the Miami Dolphin
seriously, this is all i see when i look at the new logo
Scans of the box, disc and manual for the Japanese PC version of Ecco the Dolphin. The PC version features exclusive redrawn graphics - lovely!

Polenta Pastry
Are you sure you want to delete this recipe?
This recipe was uploaded by oliviascotland
This makes a really short, crispy pastry with a crunchy texture - delicious for tarts and quiches
Mix the flour, polenta and salt together, then add the butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Lightly whisk the egg and the water together, then add to the bowl. Cut in with the back of a knife until a dough is formed (you may need a further tablespoon of water). Turn out onto a floured surface, then knead briefly. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes before use.

Drugstore Discovery Of The Week: The Candy Man Can
I've never been much of a pastels person, so the candy-colored collections that debut around this time every year usually don't do it for me. Save your buttercup yellows, sky blues, and pale pinks for someone else, thanks; I'll stick to brights and brooding berries when appropriate. Of course, this all changed last year, when I bought into Spring '09′s coral trend hard and then found myself completely loving a particular jade green nail polish that has already received its fair share of coverage on this blog. So when Maybelline's limited-edition Sweet Thing collection crossed my desk this week, I welcomed it with a recently opened mind. Inspired by the simplicity of a 1950′s-era confectionery color palette, the range includes five Color Sensational lip glosses, five Eye Express Cream Shadow Sticks, and four Expert Wear Duo Eye Shadows. The icing on the cake, if you will, is its eight shades of Express Finish Nail Color, which includes a fantastic cream-finish melon called Sweet Clementine, and Minty, a pale green/blue that is a close second to the jade varnish mentioned above. At $4.25 apiece, they're a pretty sweet deal, too.
