Matt Stonie ate 62 hot dogs on July 4 earning him the ranking of No. 1 competitive eater in the world. And for this, he deserves to "RELISH" in glory with a downtown San Jose parade on Friday to celebrate his gobbling of franks, the parade's hosts posted on Facebook.
LIVE 105 KITS San Francisco radio organizers are hosting the parade at 2 p.m. at the corner of San Pedro and St. John streets in San Pedro Square.
The 23-year-old Stonie, who likes to be called "The Megatoad," beat reigning champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, who also is from San Jose, during the annual July 4 international hot dog eating contest held at Coney Island. Major League Eaters now has Stonie ranked as the No. 1 competitive eater in the world, and Chestnut as No. 2.
Chestnut had won this annual – and bizarre – contest for the last eight years. Afterward, Chestnut smiled in defeat and told the media that he had been "looking for competition" and "I finally have it."
"It's really unexpected, this last-minute parade," Stonie told NBC Bay Area on Friday before the parade.
As for how Stonie embarked on what he calls a career: "It's one of those freak things that happened," he said.
He started as an junior at Evergreen Valley High School in San Jose, when he signed up for a 5-pound burrito-eating contest at Iguana's "Home of the BurritoZilla" near his grandparents' house. He won and pocketed $1,000.

And he's been speed-eating ever since, from slug burgers to pumpkin pie, pepperoni rolls to birthday cake, and from bacon to hot dogs. In fact, he's been doing so well, financially speaking, too, that he is taking a break from studying biochemistry at Mission College in Santa Clara.
At first, he said, his parents were skeptical of him downing 20,000 calories at a time. But now, he said, they see that he's making money and being flown across the world – including for a TV stint in Korea. "Sometimes now, they help me cook up hot dogs," he said.
Competitive eating isn't for everyone, and it's not easy, Stonie added.
"The first few years were miserable," he said. "I was bloated, had fatigue."
But he added that he's figured out how to "fine tune my regimen" by balancing exercise, fasting and taking lots of vitamins and minerals.
As for him and Chestnut, Stonie said they are far from best friends but they do hang out occasionally. That the No. 1 and No. 2 competitors in the world both hail from San Jose, might not be so unusual, he said.
"Living in California, people think a little differently," he said. "We go for what's outside the box."

Behold! The greatest work of art in the history of time! "Genius" and "Masterpiece" aren't words that I use lightly... but when I came across this Genius Masterpiece from my days in art school, I realized I shouldn't hide this from the world. I should have gone into marketing because i'm pretty sure raisin sales would at least double if Salma Hayek was the Sun-Maid Raisin girl. I'm currently having this painting archived and will be housed in my private collection for limited viewing engagements if you're interested.
And Salma Hayek, if you're reading this... I love you. Please come back to 30 Rock

- 6 XAML Guidance
- 7 Windows Forms Guidance

- 9 Authors and Primary Editors

This page intends to provide quick basic .NET security tips for developers.
The .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is Microsoft's principal platform for line of business development. It is the supporting API for ASP.NET, Windows Desktop applications, Windows Communication Foundation services, SharePoint, Visual Studio Tools for Office and other technologies.
Updating the Framework
The .NET Framework is kept up-to-date by Microsoft with the Windows Update service. Developers do not normally need to run seperate updates to the Framework. Windows update can be accessed at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ or from the Windows Update program on a Windows computer.
Individual frameworks can be kept up to date using NuGet. As Visual Studio prompts for updates, build it into your lifecycle.
.NET Framework Guidance
The .NET Framework is the set of APIs that support an advanced type system, data, graphics, network, file handling and most of the rest of what is needed to write line of business apps in the Microsoft ecosystem. It is a nearly ubiquitous library that is strong named and versioned at the assembly level.
Data Access
- Use Parameterized SQL commands for all data access, without exception.
- Do not use SqlCommand with a string parameter made up of a concatenated SQL String.
- Whitelist allowable values coming from the user. Use enums, TryParse or lookup values to assure that the data coming from the user is as expected.
- Apply the principle of least privilege when setting up the Database User in your database of choice. The database user should only be able to access items that make sense for the use case.
- Use an indirect reference map. Don't allow users to see the primary key of a database row.
- Never, ever write your own encryption.
- When using a hashing function, use a salt value added to the original value before hashing.
- Use a strong hash algorithm.
- In .NET 4.5 the strongest hashing algorithm is System.Security.Cryptography.SHA512.
- Make sure your application can support a change in algorithm.
- Always check the MD5 hashes of the .NET Framework assemblies to prevent the possibility of rootkits in the framework. Altered assemblies are possible and simple to produce. Checking the MD5 hashes will prevent using altered assemblies on a server or client machine.
- Lock down the config file.
- Remove all aspects of configuration that are not in use.
- Encrypt sensitive parts of the web.config using aspnet_regiis -pe
ASP.NET Web Forms Guidance
ASP.NET Web Forms is the original browser-based application development API for the .NET framework, and is still the most common line of business platform the web application development.
- Always use HTTPS.
HTTP validation and encoding
- Do not disable validateRequest in the web.config or the page setup. This value enables the AntiXSS library in ASP.NET and should be left intact to present cross site scripting.
- Whitelist allowable values anytime user input is accepted. The regex namespace is particularly useful for checking to make sure an email address or URI is as expected.
- Always encode output to the browser using Server.HtmlEncode.
- Validate the URI format using Uri.IsWellFormedUriString.
Authorization and authentication
- Use cookies for persistence when possible. Cookieless Auth will default to UseDeviceProfile.
- Don't trust the URI of the request for persistence of the session or authorization. It can be easily faked.
- Reduce the session time from the default of 20 minutes. If slidingExpiration is used this timeout starts after the last request, so active users won't be affected.
- If you don't require SSL, disable slidingExpiration.
- Always implement proper access controls.
- Compare user provided username with User.Identity.Name.
- Check roles against User.Identity.IsInRole.
- Use the native membership provider.
- Explicitly authorize resource requests, using User.Identity.Name.
- Leverage role based authorization using User.Identity.IsInRole.
ASP.NET MVC Guidance
ASP.NET MVC is the new hotness from Microsoft, employing the popular MVC pattern used by frameworks like Ruby on Rails.
- Always use HTTPS.
- Use the Syncronizer token pattern. In Web Forms, this is handled by ViewState, but in MVC you need to use ValidateAntiForgeryToken.
- Decorate controller methods using PrincipalPermission to prevent unrestricted URL access.
XAML Guidance
Windows Forms Guidance
WCF Guidance
- Always use HTTPS.

Texas Cops Find Weed on Nelly's Tour Bus
The Sierra Blanca checkpoint strikes again. Not one month after Fiona Apple got popped at the infamous security stop, Texas authorities discovered marijuana and a firearm on board rapper Nelly's bus. Luckily, Nelly isn't dumb enough to hide his stash in his own kit (looking at you Fiona) and instead has people for that. A member of Nelly's crew copped to owning the gun and weed and was subsequently arrested. Nelly and the rest of his entourage were set free. [420 Times - Image: reeb0k2008 / Flikr]

MARYVILLE (AP) - A northwest Missouri sheriff anticipates up to 2,000 people showing up for a protest organized online on behalf of a girl who says she was sexually assaulted when she was 14.
Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White says the county is placing portable toilets on Maryville's courthouse square and taking other measures to accommodate whatever crowd shows up for the 6 p.m. rally Tuesday.
At least two activist groups have called for a protest of the county prosecutor's decision last year to drop charges against a boy accused of plying Daisy Coleman with alcohol in January 2012 and sexually assaulting her.
White says he's hoping for a peaceful gathering, but with a possible counter-protest also in the works, he acknowledges there is always the risk of a disturbance.

The Intelligent Customer
A reader named Richard e-mailed me about the new energy drink "Cocaine." He did this when it was still quite topical, but I've been falling behind on my e-mail again, so I only just found out. In a few weeks time I'm planning to find out how those mid-term elections are shaping up.
Anyway, my thought today isn't about Cocaine specifically, because everything about that product turns out to be exactly as you'd expect:
- The inventor came up with the name at 1 a.m.
- The name offended a bunch of people, who complained, which generated a lot of publicity, which helped sales
- It's anyone's guess what it tastes like, because the articles about it and even the product's own website consider that an irrelevant side detail
The complaints, of course, were that the product glamorizes and legitimizes the illegal drug cocaine. Just as obviously, the manufacturers were shocked that anyone could imply there was some kind of connection between the drug cocaine and their product, Cocaine. They wrote:
Well, we think that kids today are neither ignorant, nor uninformed. As a matter of fact, we think that you are the brightest and most informed generation in the history of the world. How else would you be able to navigate your way to our MySpace?
I was intrigued by how impressed these guys are with their customers. I mean, they really think they're clever. That seemed like an odd conclusion to reach about people who buy sodas just because they have a funny name. And it occurred to me that whenever I hear a company telling their customers how smart they are, it seems they're selling a stupid product.
Take cigarettes. I'm not saying you have to be stupid to smoke. But it certainly helps if you have a poorly developed ability to anticipate logical consequences. Yet it's hard to find an industry more deeply moved by their customers' intellectual powers than tobacco. If you ask Altria,* smokers aren't just customers, they're proud warriors for freedom of choice, fighting against nanny-government interference in our personal lives. In fact, you probably don't realize it, but many people smoke even though they hate it, just to express their refusal to bow to the military-industrial complex.
Similar, sometimes companies implore you to "make up your own mind." Their argument seems to be that if you're smart, you'll ignore the overwhelming body of evidence that says their product is dangerous, and instead reach an independent conclusion based on their promotional web site.
To test the apparent correlation between how smart companies tell you they think you are and how stupid their product is, I plugged the phrase "our customers are intelligent" into Google and noted the top product categories to come up. If companies tended to say that because they really did have smart customers, you might expect to see telescopes and pocket protectors. If, on the other hand, companies tended to tell their customers they were smart as a piece of transparent marketing, you might see:
- Shoes
- Diamond engagement rings
- Domain name hosting
- Web site design
…which is what came up. That seems about right to me: two products that are sold for an order of magnitude more than they cost to manufacture, a service that offers the exact same thing as two thousand other companies, and a web site design company that claims, "When Microsoft begged us to help them with their website we were far too busy with other projects and had to turn them down." Although, to be fair, companies offering domain name hosting and web site design come up no matter what you put into Google. They're just part of the landscape, like insects, or Paris Hilton.
(* "Altria" used to be called Phillip Morris. According to its web site, the company changed its name "to better clarify its identity as the owner of food and tobacco companies that manage some of the world's most successful brands." That's good to know. I'd thought they did it just so people wouldn't realize they were the same pack of lying, murderous bastards.)

- Page 1 BenQ W703D Review
- Page 2 Features and Picture Quality Review
- Page 3 Picture Quality, 3D and Verdict Review
- Incredibly cheap for what it offers
- Seems calibrated for video rather than data images
- Cute design
- 3D images lack contrast
- Colour break up at high brightness levels
- Some motion flaws
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £492.00
- Single-chip DLP projector
- It costs less than £500
- Active 3D playback
- 720p native resolution
- 2200 ANSI Lumens brightness
You don't need to look very deeply to understand why the BenQ W703D projector has really got our attention today. For despite claiming a high brightness of 2200 ANSI Lumens, a respectable 10,000:1 contrast ratio and even built-in 3D playback, this remarkable little single-chip DLP beast can be yours for under £500. Including VAT. Surely there's got to be an almighty catch somewhere?
BenQ W703D Design
If there is, though, it has nothing to do with the BenQ W703D's looks, which are actually rather cute. The way the top edge is much wider than the bottom leads to a quirky but appealing angular look to the front and back sides, while the top plate looks slinky in its glossy white finish.
BenQ W703D Connectivity
Connections on the BenQ W703D's rear are also perfectly adequate for a projector with such a low price, including as they do two HDMIs, a component video input, a composite video input, a D-Sub PC port, an RS-232 control port, and even a selection of audio jacks to feed the W703D's 10W speaker.
Clearly the sound produced by this speaker can't match the scale of the projector's pictures or even sound like it's coming from anywhere near the visual action. But it's a simple and immediate solution for people who don't have a separate audio system for their AV sources.
BenQ W703D Specs
Although as noted at the start of this review the BenQ W703D mostly boasts specifications that exceed the expectations raised by its price, there is one major compromise: a native 720p resolution rather than a 1080p Full HD one. This is clearly a painful loss to video enthusiasts who like their 1080p HD Blu-ray sources to be rendered on a pixel for pixel basis. Though it's worth pointing out that the 720p format actually fits rather nicely with the resolution of Sky's 3D channel.
Needless to say we'll be looking closely at how well the BenQ W703D 'downscales' full HD sources later on.
You operate the BenQ W703D via a decent remote control complete with large buttons, a reasonably logical layout, and bold red backlighting. As for the projector's onscreen menus, meanwhile, although they're a bit bland they get the job done reasonably efficiently.
Among the more helpful tricks available are the option to tell the projector the colour of the wall you're projecting it onto (it then adjusts its pictures to compensate); a handy auto keystone correction system; a 2D to 3D conversion system; themed presets including living room and cinema options, plus a couple of user-definable setting memories; the option to turn DLP's Brilliant Colour processing on or off, and even a pretty flexible colour management system. Impressive stuff for a sub-£500 projector.
Getting the BenQ W703D pictures correctly positioned on our 100-inch screen wasn't particularly easy. Optical zoom provision is pitifully small, meaning that for the most part you have to physically move the projector towards or away from the screen to get the picture size right. Also disappointing – though utterly predictable for the BenQ W703D's money – is the lack of any optical image shifting, be it horizontal or vertical.
Hence our appreciation of the auto keystone system mentioned earlier, as it takes the hassle out of straightening the picture's sides. Though of course, we must stress that really no type of keystone correction is ideal, as it essentially involves distorting the incoming images.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

As sea levels rise, an extraordinary population shift will place immense stress on cities around the world. Where will global warming refugees go? One design team envisions an "Embassy of the Drowned Nations" to provide asylum and a fresh start.
The concept plan imagines a "a sort of Ellis Island", a mix "between Atlantis and Eden", located in Sydney Harbour. Part floating city, part inverted island, the structure would house displaced peoples while they coped with their lost homes. As sea levels rose, the island's sunken surface would extend deeper, providing a new, temporary home for families as they prepared to join Australian society.
Concept renders have a tendency to be frivolous, so we're pleased to see an exception to the rule here - it's not too soon for the brightest design minds to cook up responses to global warming. [AILA via The Scuttlefish]

This happened way back in April, the night of the Mustangs' end-of-season banquet, but the police report is just surfacing now. Three SMU players returned to their off-campus home after the fancy dinner, only to find that someone had stolen $3,000 worth of laptops, televisions and video games. One of the players, sophomore linebacker Uchenna Nwabuike, thinks he had an idea of who was responsible:
Nwabuike told police he believed the person responsible for the thefts was an escort. The linebacker from Missouri City went on to tell authorities that he had, "made a deal with the suspect to have sex with her for $50."
In the police report, Nwabuike admitted that, "he did not pay the suspect for the acts that she performed" and left the woman in the home alone while the players attended the banquet.
I've got news for Uchenna. If she's only charging 50 bucks, she's not an escort. She's a hooker.
Police are still searching for the woman, and it seems unlikely Nwabuike would face any charges. Still, it's rather refreshing to see an SMU scandal where a player pays out of his own pocket, instead of getting a booster to do it for him.

Rohleder receives early career award from American Psychosomatic Society
Psychology professor accepts honor, gives talk in Miami
Nicolas Rohleder, assistant professor of psychology, was recently awarded the American Psychosomatic Society's 2013 Herbert E. Weiner Early Career Award.
Rohleder accepted the award in Miami, Fla., last month, where he gave a talk on "Stress System Regulation of Inflammation."
The award is given to academics who have contributed to the field no longer than 10 years after receiving a doctoral degree.
In his work, Rohleder tries to get a better understanding of how stress translates to mechanisms that can lead to heart disease and other health problems.
"I was hoping to get it and I'm pretty happy that I did," Rohleder says. "For our small field, there's still a lot of competition. This is pretty cool."

Since 2011, Penn State has housed the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection, one of the most important private collections of archival materials on feminist art education. In honor of Chicago's 75th birthday in 2014, and in celebration of the Penn State School of Visual Arts' relationship with this pioneering artist, educator and author, the University will host a symposium, exhibitions, lectures and other events highlighting Chicago's work, throughout the spring 2014 semester.
Judy Chicago keynotes the symposium on April 5, 2014, calling for a re-conceptionalization of studio art teaching in higher education. Registration for the symposium, "Planting a Feminist Art Education Archive," is open now at http://judychicago.arted.psu.edu/news-events/events/symposium/registration/. A full schedule of the "Judy Chicago at Penn State" events is posted at http://judychicago.arted.psu.edu/judy-chicago-at-penn-state/.
Born in 1939 in Chicago, Judy Chicago rose to fame in the 1970s and is best known for her monumental work The Dinner Party (1974–79), the breathtaking, triangular table that is a symbolic history of women in western civilization and is now in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum. The Dinner Party, is the centerpiece of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. Chicago created three major collaborative projects afterwards: the Birth Project, Holocaust Project and Resolutions: A Stitch in Time. She continues making thought-provoking art in new media today, including her work in glass since 2003.
Karen Keifer-Boyd, professor of art education and women's studies at Penn State, was instrumental in Chicago's interest in Penn State and is coordinating the spring 2014 series of events. She says Chicago's autobiography, Through the Flower: My Struggles as a Woman Artist, helped her make sense of her undergraduate experience at the Kansas City Art Institute in the 1970s. "[The book] showed me that I was not alone and there was a feminist pedagogy on which to build. I found throughout the past 30 years and continue to find my strength, in large part, from Judy Chicago as role model and in the past decade as mentor. I noticed Judy Chicago does not give up!" she says. "My commitment is to an art education that builds agency and empowerment for all through research-informed, content-based art and critical reflective dialogue. These practices are integral to Judy Chicago's feminist art pedagogy in her teaching projects, and in her large-scale artworks and the process of their making. The spring 2014 events, including a survey exhibition of five decades of Chicago's artwork, on display at the Palmer Museum of Art, and the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection of her 11 teaching projects, on display in the Special Collections Library, will offer experiences that connect Judy Chicago's content-based art to the approaches she developed in her teaching."
Chicago's teaching projects, the focus of the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection, include archival material from the Fresno Feminist Art Program (1970), Womanhouse (1971–72), New York Feminist Art Institute (1980), SINsation (University of Indiana, Bloomington, 1999), From Theory to Practice (Duke, 2000), At Home (Western Kentucky University, 2001–02), Envisioning the Future (Cal Poly and the Pomona Art Colony, 2003–04) and Evoke/Invoke/Provoke (Vanderbilt, 2005).
The Judy Chicago Art Education Collection is housed in the University Archives in The Eberly Family Special Collections Library, 104 Paterno Library. It includes videos, photographs and notes on Chicago's teaching projects. The collection includes online The Dinner Party Curriculum Project, developed by Marilyn Stewart, Peg Speirs and Carrie Nordlund, under the directorship of Marilyn Stewart, and in collaboration with Judy Chicago and Constance Bumgarner Gee, given by the Through the Flower organization (TTF) to Penn State's College of Arts and Architecture for stewardship by the Art Education program.
The spring 2014 symposium is co-sponsored by Through the Flower, National Art Education Association Women's Caucus and the following units at Penn State: School of Visual Arts, Palmer Museum of Art, The Eberly Family Special Collections Library, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, College of Arts and Architecture's Research and Graduate Studies Office, John M. Anderson Endowment, HUB-Robeson Galleries, Department of Art History and Department of Women's Studies.

We frequently get commenters who stop in to tell us that they lost weight and kept it off for more than five years, which in their opinion utterly disproves the claim that 95 percent of diets do not result in permanent weight loss. This is probably because when they use figures like "95 percent," they are pulling them directly from their asses ("maybe SOME people are fat because of genetics, medication, illness, etc. but 95 percent of them just eat too much"; "95 percent of your weight is determined by what you eat, not your genes"; "95 percent of straight guys would never be attracted to a fat woman"; see also "vast majority") so they assume we must be bullshitting too. In fact, a) that figure is backed up by science and b) it's 95 percent, not 100 percent, so a couple of exceptions are hardly going to make us tear our hair and sign up for Weight Watchers. But bless them, it doesn't stop them from trying.
Neither does the cognitive dissonance. Just today, for instance, Kate and SM and I were laughing ourselves sick over an email from a troll who says she DOES believe in beauty and health at every size, just not for fat fat fatties. See, she knows that the VAST MAJORITY (95 percent!) of fat people just eat too much, and she knows it because she ate the exact same stuff as her thinner sister growing up but was still not as thin, but now she's thin even though she doesn't diet. Yeah, we couldn't figure it out either.
But here's the part of that email that I want to talk about: Part of her "proof" that we are all gluttons is that she once gained 30 pounds during a bout of depression, but lost it again soon afterwards. We get countless indignant emails like this (though I might add that they represent much less than 5 percent of our readership): "I gained weight when I was in a car accident and couldn't exercise, but then I lost it again as soon as I recovered, so you all don't exercise enough." "I gained weight when I lived alone and ate out all the time, but then I lost it again when I made a Lifestyle Change, so you all eat too much fast food." "I gained weight when I was binge eating, but lost it when I stopped eating so much, so you all eat in binge quantities."
One thing that claims of this nature have in common is, of course, a particularly navel-gazing kind of hasty generalization — "because something is true for me, it must be true for everyone." Of all the common informal fallacies, this one might make me see the reddest, because it's not only logically unsound but fundamentally arrogant and egotistical. But another thing they have in common, and this is what really drives me batshit bonkers, is that they actually prove our point. "So, you say you have been roughly the same weight for most of your adult life, and when extenuating circumstances made you deviate significantly from that weight, it was like you naturally settled back to your usual size? I'll be blowed… it's almost as if you couldn't effect permanent changes in your body weight! Someone should write a blog about this!"
Shapeling Randomquorum recently wrote about a publicity stunt by an Australian personal trainer and wannabe actor, who is trying to gain 40 kg (about 88 pounds) so he can "better understand obese gym clients." The article notes that "his body had tried to reject the fat at first" — you don't say! — but with assiduous consumption of "bacon and chocolate milk," he is halfway to his goal. He plans to get to 120 kg (264 pounds), keep the weight for three months, then lose it by training at his gym. Here's where the article names and links to the gym, of course. (But it's all about understanding fatties! Really!)
As Randomquorum points out, this aspiring Spurlock is going to come out of his experiment thinking that all fat people must eat the same way he did, and all could lose weight if they stopped eating and started exercising. "If it required constant consumption of heavy foods for me to get to 264 pounds," he'll reason, "then everyone who weighs 264 pounds must eat as much as I could possibly stand, and anyone who weighs 352 must eat EXACTLY TWICE AS MUCH." After all, it's calories in, calories out! If only they'd stop eating twice as much as he could stand and sitting on their asses 24 hours a day like he did, they'd be just as thin as he is now. He knows, he'll say, because he REALLY UNDERSTANDS what it takes to gain the weight (eat everything you see) and to lose it (stop eating everything you see)! Then, he hopes, he'll get a reality show.
Of course, it's possible that when this guy's weight stalls out and then chugs back down, he'll put two and two together — "I'm eating this much but can't gain the weight permanently, my clients say they're not eating this much but can't lose the weight permanently… is it possible these things are connected?" Certainly it's clear from the comments on volcanista's guest post that many of our naturally thin readers came to FA because they knew perfectly well they weren't doing anything to maintain their weight, and thought it was fucked up that they were still seen as virtuous, healthy, and disciplined. I don't think three months is nearly enough time for that revelation, though, especially given the comments we get from people who have miraculously, exceptionally, virtuously managed to remain at their naturally low setpoint weight for years.
The most ridiculous trick of the asinine "calories in, calories out" oversimplification is the idea that human experience is additive. Someone who weighs 180 pounds MUST eat 60 pounds' worth of calories more than someone with a similar activity level who weighs 120 pounds, and someone who weighs 240 pounds must eat 60 pounds' worth again! This is a delusion so hard-fought that, like Aristotelian notions about the crocodile's tongue, it is simply perpetuated forward against all evidence. To assert, as the scientific evidence seems to, that in most cases you just can't turn a 120 pound adult into a 240 pound adult and even if you can she won't stay there, and vice versa — that flies in the face of the idea that one body type is normal, acceptable, and virtuous, and others are aberrations.
Just as a disabled person isn't a broken able-bodied person, and a black person isn't a darkened white person, and a woman isn't a wangless man, a fat person isn't just a thin person who ate too much. To think so, to cling so assiduously to thinking so in contradiction to the evidence, is to assert that there is one default body subject to any number of deliberate or accidental mutations. It is to assert that the most privileged body is also the "correct" body, the one to which everyone else should aspire. Oh sure, if you deviate through no fault of your own you are to be pitied (how many times have we heard the oh-so-charitable "but black people don't CHOOSE to be black, fat people choose to be fat!" as though that weren't as racist as it is fatphobic?), but if you deviate in a way that's supposedly controlled, woe upon you. But we don't have variations on a thin white able male body — we have human bodies, in all their many forms and functions.
And one way in which human bodies seem to behave is that they like to be a certain size. Not all human bodies, of course — because of the multiplicity of ways to be human, some people will be able to lose or gain weight permanently, some will keep gaining weight indefinitely, some will fluctuate wildly for no obvious reason, some will get stuck beyond setpoint because of medication or illness or some other mitigating factor. And not all the time, either — it seems pretty clear, for instance, that dieting will inch your setpoint upwards. But if you're one of those people, at one of those times, it doesn't make you better or worse, closer to or farther from the way a body should operate — it just makes you another variation on human metabolisms.
Gaining temporary weight, putting on a fat suit, strapping fake fat blobs to your stomach — in other words, emulating a "defective" thin person — doesn't mean that you understand what it's like to be fat. But pushing yourself outside the range where your body wants to be, seeing the inhuman effort it takes to get there, seeing your best efforts to stay there fail as you inch back towards what you weighed before… that can certainly help you see what it's like to diet, and show you that your body and a fat body aren't all that different after all. Spurlockabee has a great opportunity to actually become more sympathetic to the painful, futile experience of pushing your body towards what you think it should be. I don't think he'll take it, though.

The AWEA (American Wind Energy Association) Blog: Into the Wind
Moran visits Siemens factory, pushes PTC extension
U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kans.) visited a Siemens wind turbine manufacturing plant in Hutchinson, Kans., Monday and expressed his intention to seek an extension of the federal wind energy production tax credit (PTC) by amending a transportation funding bill that is currently being considered in the Senate (see Bennet, Moran continue bipartisan push to extend PTC, Feb. 16).
According to the Hutchinson News, Moran said he and Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) are also gathering signatures of other Senators on a bipartisan letter in support of a longer extension of the credit. Such an extension could come through a stand-alone "tax extender bill," though the timing for such a bill is uncertain. Added Moran, "We're trying to get out front on this, to do it early because of uncertainty in the industry."
The Hutchinson plant now employs 350 workers and has brought new manufacturing jobs to a city and state that urgently need them (see video, Siemens nacelle factory comes to life, Hutchinson, KS), but those jobs could disappear if the PTC is not extended soon–turbines and other components require lead time for manufacturing, and with the credit scheduled to expire at the end of this year, the optimum time for an extension is as soon as possible.
Moran commented, "Our goal is to extend it [the PTC] long enough that there is certainty in the industry so it can develop on its own and we can gradually phase it out … There's no doubt in my mind if we extend it that this is a job creator. More people will be working and paying taxes and helping get our financial house in order … There are members of Congress who feel we ought not to pick winners and losers, to let the markets decide. I believe it's better to get this industry up and running, then let the country decide … rather than pull the rug out overnight."

As we approach the Congressional vote on military intervention in Syria, asking what our response can and should be, instead of military intervention, and how the U.S. thinks of its role in the world seems critical. If we believe that we have a role to play in enhancing the security of others, what action might that lead to? In this guest post Doug Bennett addresses these questions. I have posted this guest post by Doug here and at the Shared Security website. - Lucy
As Syria holds our attention, the biggest question for me, and I hope for you, is about the United States. As the United States asserts that Syria's President Assad has responsibilities to his own people, we should be asking what are our responsibilities to other countries?
Syrian President Assad used poison gas against citizens of his own country: that's the charge. It is an unproven allegation that it was the Assad regime that used the gas. There has not been any public consideration of the evidence, and we all remember (don't we?) that the allegations of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq turned out be bogus.
The case for intervention is that there are limits to what a leader (whether a despot or democratically elected) can do towards his own people. A leader has obligations and responsibilities, the argument goes, and other countries can and should enforce these responsibilities, once breached. Use of poison gas is a crime against humanity, and no one should be allowed to do that.
There are those who reject this idea in the name of sovereignty. Each country is its own sovereign world, they say, and no other country should think it has the right, let alone the responsibility, to intervene in the affairs of any other country. What happens in Syria is Syria's business, something for Syrians to sort out. Those from Turkey or Russia, Israel or the United States should butt out.
These are starkly opposed views of international affairs. One claims nation states are each their own world, with no rights or responsibilities to anyone else. The other claims that there are at least some international norms or rules that must not be broken. If a country breaks them, other countries can punish them. This second view says there are international norms, international laws, and international organizations that nation states should respect, and to which they should be held accountable. The first view says that the international scene is lawless and normless, a terrain where the strong rule and might makes right.
Which is our view? I believe that there are and should be international norms, and that Assad may well have broken an important one. But what's the view of the United States government?
On the one hand, the U.S. seems indeed to be saying that Assad broke an international norm and should be punished. But on the other hand, the U.S. also seems to be saying that the U.S. should make up its own mind about what to do about this. We seem to be presuming we can and should do as we please towards Assad, denying that we have any responsibilities to other countries. It appears we want it both ways: responsibilities for other countries, but not for us. American Exceptionalism is again in the saddle.
If we fully accepted the idea that countries have responsibilities, then we would be asking what is the responsible way, in concert with others, to confront Assad's barbarism rather than acting as if it is entirely up to us to decide what to do about Syria.
We may be frustrated that the United Nations Security Council cannot reach agreement about what to do. Russia and China won't approve U.N. sanctioned military action against Assad. But are we listening to their reasons? Certainly, each often acts in its own self-interested way, but each is also remembering Libya when they went along with U.N. sanctioned military force to prevent Muammar el-Qaddafi from murdering his own people. They believe they authorized restraining Qaddafi, not overthrowing him. They are reluctant to authorize another effort to restrain that might be used as a blank check for regime change.
The United Nations is not our only option for holding Assad accountable. We could and should charge him with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court. This would provide a setting for publicly hearing and weighing the evidence that the Assad regime has used poison gas. Referral to the ICC would be awkward for the U.S., however, because the United States has refused to recognize the International Criminal Court. We have said that recognizing the ICC would be an unwarranted intervention in our internal affairs. Of course that is just what Assad is saying about any efforts to restrain him.
So here's the question again: Does the United States believe that countries have responsibilities to other countries? Taken in the large, the United States is today the country that most stands in the way of recognizing and upholding international norms, laws, and processes.
A U.S. foreign policy framed around shared security recognizes the humane obligations we have towards one another—even across national boundaries. These are responsibilities we must consistently acknowledge, not just lift up when it suits our fancy.

Biz Stone to Facebook: Go Freemium
But here's an opinion perhaps worth listening to. Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, has another idea for Facebook to make money: Go freemium.
Stone, who said he just started using Facebook regularly again after a long hiatus, doesn't like Facebook's ads — a common refrain from many who use the service. "However, ads on the service are universally tolerated because that's what makes Facebook free and free is nice," he wrote in a post on Medium, the blogging platform startup founded by his old Twitter partner Evan Williams.
His answer? If you can't do ads right, do away with them. Or at least give users the option to do so.
"For $10 a month, people who really love Facebook (and can afford it), could see no ads. Maybe some special features too," he wrote. "If 10% percent of Facebook signed up, that's $1B a month in revenue. Not too shabby."
A funny thought, especially considering the concerns around monetizing Twitter with ads in its early days. The implication, I figure, is that if you want to include ads, they have to be relevant, well-targeted and unobtrusive. Like, I don't know, say, one of Twitter's Promoted Products?
Obviously Facebook probably won't take Stone's words with more than a grain of salt, as the model he suggests is something slightly more akin to an App.net, the subscription-based social network more targeted to developers and tech types.
And anyway, Facebook will have its own chance to let Stone, Wall Street and the rest of the world know just how well its ad business is going soon enough.
The company reports its second quarter earnings next week.

A Superstorm Sandy Report Card: Experts Talk Recovery and Resiliency at City of Water Day Summit at Stevens
The ongoing recovery efforts post-Superstorm Sandy was the topic of the City of Water Day Regional Resiliency Summit, "A Superstorm Sandy Report Card," held at Stevens on July 19, 2013. In front of a packed crowd of attendees, panels of experts from industry, government and academia discussed their visions for an integrated regional approach against future storm events that focus on resiliency and livability.
"One thing Superstorm Sandy brought to light was that all of us in the region are connected by one half mile of water – the Hudson River," said Dr. Alan Blumberg, Director of the Davidson Laboratory and Center for Maritime Systems at Stevens. "Researchers at Stevens have been studying storm science, beach erosion, harbor protection and coastal planning for generations. Hosting this discussion with some of the metropolitan area's biggest influencers is yet another critical step in achieving our shared goal of building more resilient coastlines on both sides of the Hudson."
The summit was organized by the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance (MWA), a non-profit agency devoted to making New York-New Jersey harbors, ports and waterways cleaner and more accessible, and sponsored by Parsons Brinkerhoff, a leader in developing and operating infrastructure around the world. The event was held in association with the MWA's 6th annual City of Water Day Festival, the largest harbor festival in the metropolitan region, which took place at Liberty State Park, Governor's Island and other waterfront locations and featured boat tours, live music, a cardboard kayak race, food vendors, children's activities, and more.
"Superstorm Sandy reminded us that we are truly a City of Water," said Roland Lewis, President and CEO of the MWA. "In the wake of the storm, we must work to make our shoreline resilient, but we must also be sure to continue to revitalize our harbor and waterways for education, recreation and jobs."
The event began with a keynote speech by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Commissioner Bob Martin, who called for an approach to rebuilding that prioritizes long-term planning.
"We need to make sure New Jersey rebuilds with long-term resiliency as our primary goal," he said.
According to Martin, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's administration is prioritizing five major actions in its recovery, rebuilding and planning efforts: transforming New Jersey's beaches into complete coastal protection systems; buying out properties and areas where flooding occurs on a constant basis and constitute areas of harm for residents; using Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps to regulate and guide the rebuilding of homes, businesses and boardwalks; increasing power resiliency and supply by better protecting our utilities; and improving the state's water infrastructure, which suffered almost $3 billion in storm damage.
During the two panel sessions that followed, official representatives from major governmental organizations from both New York and New Jersey discussed how their agencies are progressing on storm recovery initiatives and also shared their own resiliency plans and best practices. In addition, industry and academic leaders shared resilience expertise related to climate change and flood mitigation, and commented on how the public sector can move forward to build a stronger region.
Peter Zipf, Chief Engineer for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), said advanced and informed engineering and design will be critical to the full recovery and smart rebuilding of the region's transportation systems. One of his primary concerns for the PANYNJ in particular is improving the resiliency of its electrical systems, which were devastated by the storm
"We saw firsthand that our systems had robust structural integrity, but we need to improve that on the electrical side," he said.
For Colonel Paul Owen, Commander of the New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the most pressing need is to repair and complete existing Corps projects, and then get both the authorization and appropriation to move onto other vulnerable areas which were impacted by Superstorm Sandy, including Hoboken.
Daniel Zarrilli, Director of Resiliency for the City of New York, said the Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration is focusing on preparing the city for the many unforeseen impacts of a changing climate, including higher wind speeds, changing temperatures, major precipitation events and rising sea levels.
"It's critical we think about what could happen in the future and what the risks to the city's infrastructure could be," said Zarrilli, who helped to develop Bloomberg's "A Stronger, More Resilient New York," a major climate change protection report to which Stevens researchers also contributed research and expertise.
Other panelists at the summit included: Michele Siekerka, Assistant Commissioner for Water Resource Management for the NJDEP; Gerry Petrella, Director of Economic Development for New York Senator Charles Schumer; Philip Orton, Stevens Research Scientist; Klaus Jacob, Columbia Professor; Larry Gillman, Vice President of Operations at Skanska USA Civil Northeast; Jonathan Goldskick, Vice President of CH2M Hill; Kate Orff, Founder of SCAPE; Mike Flood, Senior Supervising Planner at Parsons Brinkerhoff; and Andrew Cairns, Ports and Marine Regional Lead at AECOM.

Pareto Energy Management
Pareto Energy Management is a consultancy firm that promotes high rate of return conservation projects within the ICI sector (industrial, commercial, institutional).
Our network approached shares successful projects with all members of the network encouraging word of mouth growth.
Industry contractors with solutions to wasteful systems or building components can see how frequently a specific system appears in our network without seeing our client facilities. This will encourage 3rd party innovators to find solutions to widespread systematic deficiencies.
We are very much a 'green' firm, but our focus is on profits, not polar bears. We're here to make environmental awareness profitable for businesses and governmental agencies.
Our organization will foster collaboration, open sharing of good ideas, and respect for clients and contractors.
Pareto is a concept that says that 80% of your outputs come from 20% of your inputs. This is fitting for our networked approach for energy management.
Also, pareto efficiency occurs when economic changes are made and no one is made worse off (i.e. an arena chages lighting systems, they save money, kids see the puck better, and contractors make sales).
If you'd like a better understanding of that concept check:
Our target market includes ICI decision makers - especially in the public sector (municipalities, school boards, etc.), as well as 3rd party contractors. We are developing a B2B business plan.
Professionalism is a fundamental tenant of our organization, as is respecting the privacy and security of client information.
We want to be the answer to the question our clients hear of "What are you doing to reduce your environmental impact?".
The logo should be iconic and simple.
I had been thinking flat, noodle like waves forming the letter "P" in a diamond, and have been favoring blues and blue grey. Or, for Zoolander fans - blue steel!
It definitely should be ridiculously good looking!
Professional, secure, networked, collaborative, environmental ... are all concepts this business will be built on, and want a brand image that represents that.
PEM as an acronym for Pareto Energy Management is OK.
This logo will be the basis for design cues for the overall website (which will begin just as a blog until the database is built) so a style sheet with defined primary colors used will be required.
I think that about sums it up.
Good luck, and ask questions!

Sharlene and the late great diva - Molly muffin (always missed and never forgotten)
Wanted to bump this thread back up again, partly and selfishly just for myself. Next month will mark the first anniversary of my sweet Peg's passing, and I remember so clearly what a lovely and special Mother's Day weekend we had spent beforehand. Just like this year, we were lucky enough to have my mom here with us, joining hubby, Luna and me. Peg had an especially lovely time, surrounded by all her adoring family. But after that weekend had passed, her downward slide accelerated.
So today dawns as a bittersweet morning for me. I am so grateful for what and "who" surrounds me. But in the corner of my mind and heart, I am seeing my shiny black dog and wishing so much that I could truly set my eyes on her once again.
Thanks to all my furkids who have made me such a proud mom. I love you all -- Luna beside me, and Barkis and Peg at Rainbow Bridge. I will always love you all.
Your Mom
To all the moms, whether you have/had human or furkids, we honor you on this day and every day. You go above and beyond to care for your loved ones in a way that mom's naturally do.
So, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ONE AND ALL!!

I understand completely. Daniel always gave me a card signed by him and Molly muffin. She was our little girl and I miss her something awful.
Mothers Days aren't the same without her.

My second Mother's Day without my precious Lena...still so hard to believe.
Happy Mother's Day to all of us...from our babies in Heaven to all the ones still with us, who show us unconditional love everyday.
Joan, mom to my Angel Lena, Doree, Gable, Cooper, Angel Phoenix and now Sibble.
My first Mother's Day without my boy, my fourth without my Mom. She was in a wheelchair near the end, and Whiskey would always position himself under the wheelchair with his head between her feet to catch all of her crumbs (she had Parkinson's so she made LOTS of crumbs ) we would get lots of laughs out of that. Hoping they're together now in some way.
Happy Mothers Day to all!
Amazingly, another year has already rolled around, and we are once again gathered together in loving remembrance and celebration of all our babies and all our moms. Our K9C family salutes each and every one. May those among us who are broken-hearted on this day feel our love and support. May those among us who are feeling stronger reach out to offer that support. Once a mom, always a mom. Forever and ever and ever.
Love grants us the power to hold our babies safely in our hearts forever.
Many hugs to all,
Beautifully said Marianne. Thank you
That was lovely Marianne!

We have seen a shift in our industry over the last few years to a model where clients are treated more like cattle. Big box stores have traded the time honored values of good client services and replaced them with training manuals and pasted on smiles. Haphazardly trained staffs botch as many jobs as they complete and the needs of the clients are simply lost in the shuffle, however, at the end of the day the client is the one paying for the mess. This will never be the case at The Computer Guys.

Raising orphan puppies requires great care, time, and vigilance. Puppies must be kept at appropriate temperatures and humidity levels. Hypoglycemia can develop quickly if they are not ingesting food regularly. Orphaned puppies need to be fed appropriate amounts of a commercial puppy milk replacer at regular intervals and can be fed by bottle or feeding tube. After each feeding the puppies will need to be stimulated to urinate and defecate. Around 4 weeks, puppies can start the weaning process onto puppy food by mixing puppy food with the commercial milk replacer to make a gruel-type food. Orphaned puppies need to be dewormed every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks of age and should start their vaccination series no later than 6 weeks. A veterinarian should be consulted early and frequently throughout the first 6-8 weeks of life.
Getting a dog is a long-term commitment. Before choosing a pet, consider initial and recurring costs, home environment, size, temperament, and physical characteristics of the dog. Consider training, exercising, and grooming needs, along with your lifestyle.
Fading puppy syndrome describes puppies that decline in health and die within about two weeks of birth. Neonatal puppies are fragile and so there can be many causes of this syndrome including birth defects, inadequate care from the mother, poor health status of the mother and/or infectious diseases. As well as addressing a specific cause, treatment focuses on maintaining hydration and warmth while providing adequate nutrition. Environmental hygiene is extremely important.
The goal of feeding growing puppies is to lay the foundation for a healthy adulthood. Proper nutrition is critical to the health and development of puppies, regardless of breed, and it directly influences their immune system and body composition. An optimal growth rate in puppies is ideal; it is a slow and steady growth rate that allows the puppy to achieve an ideal adult body condition while avoiding excessive weight and obesity. Growing puppies need higher amounts of all nutrients in comparison to adult dogs, but excess energy calories and calcium can create serious problems. Together with your veterinarian and veterinary healthcare team, you can help your puppy grow into as healthy of an adult dog as possible.
Orphaned puppies will need extra care for survival to compensate for the loss of their mother. Puppies must be kept warm, very clean, and fed frequently using an appropriate amount and type of formula by bottle or less often tube feeding. To ensure nutrition is adequate, daily weight checks should be performed for the first 4 weeks, then weekly thereafter. Puppies must be stimulated to urinate and defecate. Environment, feeding instruments and the puppy must be kept meticulously clean as they are more susceptible to infection than puppies cared for by their mother.
All it requires are a few basic rules to house train puppies within a short amount of time, sometimes as little as a few days to a few weeks. It is advisable to select a site that has an easy and direct access to the outdoors. By regularly taking the dog outdoors, through the same door, to the same site, and providing rewards for proper elimination, the puppy should soon learn to head for the door each time it has to eliminate.
Hydrocephalus literally means water on the brain. The water is actually an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that has leaked inside the skull, leading to brain swelling. CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing both nutrients and protection. Buildup of CSF can occur in the brain if the flow or absorption of CSF is blocked or too much CSF is produced by the body. This leads to increased pressure within the skull that presses on the sensitive brain tissues. Increased intracranial pressure can lead to permanent, irreversible brain damage and death.
Juvenile cellulitis, also known by the name puppy strangles, is an uncommon skin condition of young dogs. Juvenile cellulitis most commonly affects young puppies, between one and six months of age. The first sign of juvenile cellulitis is usually an acute swelling of the face and muzzle. This generalized swelling is typically followed by the development of raised bumps and pustules over the face, muzzle, and ears.
Juvenile hyperparathyroidism is a rare, inherited condition of German Shepherds. This condition causes the parathyroid glands, four small glands that are located in the neck near the thyroid gland, to produce abnormally large amounts of parathyroid hormone.
Not all puppy foods are alike. Not all pups are alike. Feeding the right diet to the right puppy is very important, especially when it comes to large or giant breed pups.

Prepping for the Draft
Tonight's lineup
Rollins, ss; Victorino, cf; Utley, 2b; Howard, 1b; Burrell, lf; Jenkins, rf; Feliz, 3b; Ruiz, c; Eaton, p.
Prepping for draft
The Draft Room is a meeting room on the Hall of Fame Club level, right around the corner from GM Pat Gillick's office.
Pat, Ruben Amaro Jr., Mike Arbuckle, Mike Ondo, Rob Holiday and Dallas Green will be part of meetings between now and June 5 when the First-Year Player Draft takes place (2 p.m. start).
They will join Marti Wolever (Scouting Director) who will oversee the draft. Surrounding Marti will be Jim Fregosi Jr. and Mike Ledna (Scouting Coordinators); regional supervisors John Castleberry (East), Brian Kohlscheen (Central) and Bill Moore (West); Paul Murphy (Area Supervisor for DE, KY, MD, VA, DC, WV) and Chuck LaMar (Director of Professional Scouting).
The first meeting began today and will continue daily until the draft. More on the draft prep will come later.
While signing autographs last night in the Hall of Fame Club, Tommy Herr was approached by a fan and kidded: "Tommy, you look in great shape. You could still play second base for us (Phillies). Oh, I forgot, we have Chase (Utley)."

ABS machinable plastic is a tough, rigid thermoplastic material with high impact strength. It is easily machined and ideal for turning, drilling, milling, sawing, die-cutting and shearing.
ABS provides a balanced combination of mechanical toughness, wide temperature range, good dimensional stability, chemical resistance, electrical insulating properties, and ease of fabrication.
ABS sheets are heat resistant and impact resistant even at low temperatures and has high chemical and abrasion-resistance as well as a good dimensional stability.
ABS iseasily machined and die cut in thinner gauges. ABS can be cut with standard hand held power tools and line bent with our standard heat strips. ABS can be adhered to itself and other like plastics using weld-on adhesives.
[ABS Extruded Spec Sheet PDF]
[ABS Machine Grade Spec Sheet PDF]
ABS plastic sheets and rods are used in thermoforming applications where heat-induced flexibility and physical appearance are preferred. A high-impact resistance in combination with a hardcell-textured surface also makes ABS plastics ideal for consumers who are looking for an attractive faceplate.
ABS plastic sheets and rods come in both machine and extruded grades:
Machine Grade ABS
Machine grade ABS is compression molded, or extruded, and then annealed via gradual heating and cooling to minimize internal malfunctions that tend to be hazardous for machining. Machine grade ABS is available in thickness of 1/4" or 3/8" and can cost up to four times as much as an extruded grade plastic. Applications may include usage in industrial and consumer products.
Extruded Grade ABS
Extruded grade ABS is not heat-treated. It is unsuitable for most close tolerance machined parts, where machine grade would be better suited. Extruded grade ABS is available up to 3/8" thickness, and is generally more cost effective than machine grade products.
ABS has desirable impact strength at room temperature and, in special grades, at temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C). ABS works for some outdoor use. Overexposure to the sun may cause color deformation and decrease the durability and overall appearance of the product; in such cases, a UV protective grade is better suited.

The younger brother of Robert Sargeant Austin, he studied at Leicester School of Art and Royal College of Art under Malcolm Osborne, William Rothenstein and Randolph Schwabe, 1924-7. He won the Rome Scholarship for engraving in 1927, just as his brother had done in 1922. Although the influence of his older brother is apparent in his early engraved works, Frederick Austin developed a far more modernistic style during his career. Religious subject matter recurs frequently throughout Frederick Austin's printed works, all of which betray the influence of early mediaeval art in their almost two dimensional approach to their compositions. The Austin brothers were two of the very few original printmakers who continued to use traditional print making techniques after the Second World War. Related worksFlying Sword AlleyBrowse All

This article is also available and sold as a booklet.
The Body of Christ is one of the most powerful, beautiful descriptions given in Scripture for what the church is and how it functions. God's people are united under Christ the head, each believer playing a distinct role but working in harmony.
Just as a hand or a foot cannot function on its own, believers can't fulfill their spiritual role in the Body of Christ in isolation. True fellowship—something much deeper than what comes to most people's minds—unites believers under a singular plan and purpose of the Lord. It has encouraging, uplifting qualities that knit the hearts of God's people together, allowing them to bear each other's burdens and build each other up to greater godliness.
Hand in hand with fellowship is the ongoing practice of forgiveness--a vital component of true fellowship and the starting point for every healthy relationship.
In his two-part series, Fellowship, Forgiveness, and You, John MacArthur will show you what God's Word says about the importance of productive, uplifting relationships between believers, and how to protect that unity from corruption and abuse.

Navy Announces Plans for Bulk Biofuel Purchase
Sunday, December 15, 2013
Federal officials have announced a new plan to buy biofuel in bulk for the U.S. Navy.
The Navy is looking for what it calls an advanced "drop-in" fuel, which can be blended with conventional fuel to power aircraft and ships.
Businesses nationwide — including San Diego's General Atomics, Sapphire Energy Inc. and SG Biofuels — have been researching ways to produce fuel from plants or algae. The Navy has experimented with running jet aircraft and ships with biofuels.
The Navy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Dec. 11 that they will make a solicitation for bulk biofuel in 2014, seeking delivery by mid-2015. Biofuel blends will become part of regular fuel purchases, the two agencies said.
To date, biofuels have cost much more than petroleum products. Some in Congress have called biofuel a waste of money. But the Agriculture Department said in a statement that by 2016, prices could fall below $4 per gallon.
The government calls the joint Navy and Agriculture program "Farm-to-Fleet," and said the effort will promote energy independence while producing jobs in rural America.
The bulk-buying announcement was originally to be televised to the Biotechnology Industry Organization conference in San Diego. Bad weather in Washington, D.C. postponed the announcement until after the conference was over.
In a statement, the industry organization said it welcomed the announcement.
"The Navy's leadership in procuring advanced biofuels will encourage rapid scale up of new technologies and construction of capacity," said Brent Erickson, executive vice president of organization's industrial & environmental section.

But it didn't.
To explain, below is the closing letter sent by Eiland-Hall to Beck, after said verdict was reached.
Transcript follows. Image courtesy of Wikimedia.
Image: Wikimedia
Dear Mr. Beck,
As you are now aware, I have prevailed in the WIPO action that you filed against me. I write now to voluntarily relinquish the disputed domain to you, even though you did not win the case. My criticism of you has been amply made---in no small part, with your assistance in this case---and I have no desire to attempt to punish you personally beyond the levying the criticism itself.
It bears observing that by bringing the WIPO complaint, you took what was merely one small critique meme, in a sea of internet memes, and turned it into a super-meme. Then, in pressing forward (by not withdrawing the complaint and instead filing additional briefs), you turned the super-meme into an object lesson in First Amendment principles.
It also bears noting, in this matter and for the future, that you are entirely in control of whether or not you are the subject of this particular kind of criticism. I chose to criticize you using the well-tested method of satire because of its effectiveness. But, humor aside, your rhetorical style is no laughing matter. In this context of this WIPO case, you denigrated the letter of First Amendment law. In the context of your television show and your notoriety, you routinely and shamelessly denigrate the spirit of the First Amendment. The purpose of the expressive freedoms embodied in the First Amendment is not to simply permit the greatest possible scope of expression, but also, in so doing, to also strive for excellence on the conveyances of ideas. Rather than choosing to strive for excellence and civic contribution, you simply pander to the fears and insecurities of your audience. And in the process, you do them, and us all, a great deal of harm.
Shame on you Mr. Beck.
Now that this case is concluded, I want to demonstrate to you that I had my lawyer fight this battle only to help preserve the First Amendment. Now that it is safe, at least from you (for the time being), I have no more use for the actual scrap of digital real estate you sought. I will voluntarily transfer the domain name to you now. The username is [redacted] and the password is [redacted].
(Signed, 'Isaac Eiland-Hall')

luvmybaby brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 176 Designs von 29 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I Luv My Baby
Online, e-commerce baby store specializing in high end designer baby clothes, gifts, accessories and eco-friendly baby products.
Mothers, Expectant Mothers, and Women buying for babies and toddlers. Examples: Buying baby shower gifts, unique clothes you wouldn't find at babies r us, etc. We are a baby boutique store so I want something unique and stylish. I would like a sophisticated looking design but one that has color and is timeless. No cartoons or sweet peas, etc. but other images with the company name is ok. I would like to see both options of just the company name and also the company name with some sort of image.
Easy to read- web friendly fonts. Classic, fun.
Top 2 things to communicate through Logo:
1. Classic, but fun store
2. High-end designer look to logo
Optional: Logo can incorporate small eco-friendly reference but very subtle.
Wouldn't mind the word "baby" to be in different colors- blue, orange, pink, and green, but not all entries need to have it in different colors. One idea is to have "baby" in different color baby blocks. I wouldn't mind seeing some small little footprints incorporated with the design either. But that is just one idea. Please be creative. I don't want to limit you on the designs. Beautiful, classic, yet playful. Would like to see some of the logos incorporate the slogan and other designs with just the company name. Still trying to decide if I want the slogan in the logo or not.
No stock images or clip art.
Slogan: Fashion and Fun for the Little Ones in Your Life
Will be using Logo for:
Website, print media, television, mugs, signs, icon web buttons
Thank you in advance for your ideas and creativity!
- The attachment below shows an example of the scrolls I like. Wouldn't want it in pink- need more color and to be a little different than this, but like the concept. Thank you!
