What if You Could Measure the Future?
According to the United Nations "World Water Development Report 2014", annual economic growth is estimated at about 6% in developing countries and 2% in higher income countries between 2013 and 2015. As economies grow and diversify, they experience competing demands for water to meet the needs of more municipal and industrial uses, as well as agriculture. Water availability is expected to decrease in many regions. Yet future global agricultural water consumption alone is estimated to increase by ~19% by 2050, and will be even greater in the absence of any technological progress or policy intervention (link). Understanding what impact growing populations and increased development has on existing resources is invaluable to central planning.
Making the Case: Why is WERS Needed?
At any one point in time throughout the year, at least 30 states are in at least a D-0 level drought. We may not necessarily know where or when the next drought crisis will occur, but we can monitor its impact. At the same time, what if we could predict water use for both new and existing construction? What if we could estimate the potential impact of new construction on water treatment needs and storm water? Wouldn't the information generated be of value to planners of municipal infrastructure? To design professionals? To potential home buyers or current home owners?
The WERS Program – A New Focus on Water
The Green Builder® Coalition, in cooperation with Build Green New Mexico (BGNM), Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association (SFAHBA), and members of the City of Santa Fe Water Conservation Committee (SFWCC) have created water modeling software that generates a Water Efficiency Rating Score (WERS)®. The premise is that verified measurement and incentives will increase participation in conservation efforts.
The initial goal was to integrate the WERS into the BGNM program and use it to document an empirical method of calculating eligibility for water use reduction tax credits. In February of 2014, goals were generated along with an initial action plan. In the following months, a formalized committee, consisting of representatives from BGNM, the SFWCC, the SFAHBA, The Coalition, and the Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), continued to refine the WERS program.
Measurable parameters were established as the foundation of WERS, along with a scoring scale of zero to 100 with zero being the most desirable. The decided focus was on water using elements that could be measured. Initially, indoor water use was considered that involved the main plumbing fixtures of toilets, showers, lavatories, kitchen sinks, clothes washers and structural waste. Structural waste is the amount of water that is typically wasted before usable hot water arrives at the furthest hot water using fixture. The calculation for structural waste is based on the water wasted for conventional water heating systems.
The Elements of "Measuring the Future"
Much research was done to calculate the loading from the main plumbing fixtures, clothes washers and pipe priming and their eventual impact on the WERS. The program calculates indoor water use empirically, based on the estimated loading of the above items while taking into account their associated efficiencies. WERS also includes the ability to account for outdoor water use, which includes rainwater and greywater catchment calculations. Depending on the verified filtration methods for rainwater and greywater, they can be used to offset indoor water use much like solar panels can be used to offset energy use in the HERS index. Additionally, any remaining unused rainwater or greywater can be credited to potential outdoor use.
Another aspect of the WERS program includes the option to require points for "Innovative Practices". BGNM and SFWCC have both created similar lists of items as an overlay that can be incorporated into a future version of the WERS calculation process. But, because these items are either not measurable or a method of empirical data collection has not been determined yet, they are not a part of the final score. It is envisioned that communities could select a minimum point threshold of Innovative Practices that need to be accomplished as part of the WERS program.
"The zero to 100 scale of the WERS program plays right into the competitive nature of builders and the marketplace," says Kim Shanahan, Executive Officer of the SFAHBA. "Consumers can easily assess the most water efficient home. A performance-based metric always produces better results than a purely prescriptive standard. It drives innovation and best practices that are quickly adopted by others."
Project teams will have the ability to do initial estimates of the results of their proposed installed fixtures and appliances as well as innovative water conservation strategies without the involvement of a WERS Verifier. In order to achieve a WERS, the project team will have to send the completed program document to a qualified third-party verifier who will then check that fixtures, appliances, and strategies have been installed or implemented as claimed. Once the program document has been verified, it is then sent to The Coalition for certification processing. The certification document that is issued will then be utilized by the project team to apply for any applicable water conservation tax credits or incentives that require third-party verification.
The Market Effect and Relevance
Most product manufacturers of fixtures and appliances that utilize water are already well aware of the multitude of green home building programs, as well as the EPA WaterSense program. Many have responded well by providing products that easily comply with both green homebuilding programs and the EPA WaterSense program. As the WERS continues to develop nationally and incorporates items that for now are only considered innovative practices, manufacturers may want to consider following news regarding the program. One of the best ways this can be achieved is by signing up for the Green Builder® Coalition's communications.
"Having a 'performance path' for water will help transform the building industry in the same way that the HERS index did for energy", says Steve Hale, Program Director for BGNM. "Already, we are seeing much better performing fixtures and appliances. Now, with the ability to 'mix and match' flow rates while simultaneously examining the overall performance of indoor water use, builders and consumers can make smart choices for the products they put into their homes."
The program continues to be developed under the tutelage of several industry stakeholders and has already been used within the State of New Mexico for over 2.5 years.
Additionally, The Coalition has worked with Santa Fe Community College to offer a training program for use of the WERS program, verification procedures, and certification.
Finally, four manufacturers have partnered with WERS to offer discounts on water-efficient products: Evolve Technologies, EcoVie, Flow-Know®, and Pearl's Premium. We are always looking for additional partners. This is our way of trying to increase the ROI of water efficiency beyond the water bill savings.
- In 2015, WERS won an award from the Sustainable Santa Fe Commission.
- From the start of 2015 through July 2018, WERS sessions have been presented at the following national or regional conferences: Home Performance Coalition (4x), StormCon, Passive House, EEBA (2x), ARCSA, AWRA, ABX, WaterSmart Innovations (2x), NGWA, IA, 2016 Land & Water Summit, AWWA ACE (2x), SWMC and Florida Section's Conference, New Mexico Housing Summit, Home Performance Conference (Portland), Localizing California Waters, WaterCon, MEEA's Annual Codes Conference, the National Energy Codes Conference, the Getting to Zero National Forum and Energy Out West.
- In November 2015, a NM homebuilder used his WERS report in conjunction with his building permit application, and that helped him save significant time and approximately $2,000 in permit fees. We certified two other properties in Santa Fe in 2016 in anticipation of…
- The City of Santa Fe, NM passing an ordinance that incorporates the WERS program into their residential green building code. As of March 1, 2017, a WERS of 70 or less is now required for all new single family projects.
- The NM state legislature extended their very popular sustainable building tax credit. When they did, they added a water conservation requirement. WERS was cited in the tax credit's rules as a way to determine the degree of water conservation.
- GreenStar, an upper Midwest green building program, has decided to utilize the WERS program as the water component of their overall program.
- We have an agreement with ARCSA to partner on education, training and promotion.
- In early March 2016, the first WERS training course was held in Santa Fe, NM, and 10 students passed both the written and field exams. Three other courses have been held since March 2016.
- In January 2017, WERS was granted a service mark from the USPTO.
- The WERS Consultant designation was created, and WERS Consultant class debuted, in Q2 2018.
- The 2nd annual Next Generation Water Summit was held on April 30 – May 2, 2018. This unique, 3-day event brings together the building community, policy makers and land use planners to network and discuss applicable water efficiency initiatives.
- A portion of the WERS calculation was able to assist a single-family project in Minnesota obtain LEED for Homes Platinum and GreenStar Gold.
- Triconic, UL and Intertek entered into an agreement with the Green Builder® Coalition to expand WERS beyond New Mexico to all U.S. states and potentially other countries.
- RayLee Homes became the first large-scale homebuilder in the U.S. to commit to submitting all new homes through the WERS certification process.
- On August 14, 2018, the Santa Barbara (CA) City Council adopted an ordinance that would enable WERS to administer code compliance of ultra-high water use efficiency multifamily projects.
- In late 2018, Built Green Canada decided to utilize the WERS program as one of two paths for the water component of their overall program. The first international WERS Verifier course took place in May 2019. Full adoption is expected in 2020.
"We're very proud of the WERS," said Green Builder® Coalition Executive Director Mike Collignon. "We're also interested in collaborating with municipalities who have a need or interest in conserving water. The WERS program can be valuable to those communities as either an incentive or regulation."

Beyond Academics
At Symbiosis Institutes, restricting the students to an academics only approach is against the tradition. We at, Symbiosis Institute of International Business, use a balanced approach of academics with extra-curricular activities. This break from study routine at regular intervals is an excellent way to rejuvenate the students. Students get to enjoy and learn through various activities beyond the class-rooms as well. Even before starting the session with the new batch we provide them an opportunity to interact with their peers and fasten the seat belts before the journey begins - by taken taking them on an outbound session to the beautiful locales in the Sahyadhari Mountains. After a gruelling Academic year, we again involve them in a program called 'Initiatives of Change'. Apart from this there are several activities that run through-out the year for the overall development of the students. Many Events are arranged by students, Events that add value to your personality dynamism. Also there are many "Optional Extra Curricular Activities" such as "Liberal Arts-I (Dramatics), Liberal Arts-II (Music), Community Development and many more from which student has to choose. Such Activities, Events explore & refine many new personas BEYOND ACADEMICS.

We raise funds to distribute Easter baskets to over 300 local children in need. All are welcome.
Coordinator: Margaret Steadman
Our ministry provides Easter baskets to over 300 local children. We conduct fundraising by:
(1) requesting donations of individually wrapped Easter candies and small toys and
(2) selling $5.00 sponsorships to individuals and families who will have their names posted on our donations boards displayed in each church in our parish.
Our goal is to grow this event to include some additional activities for the children and their parents. Last year we had a visit from the Easter Bunny. We meet in January or February to plan the event and baskets are distributed the weekend before Easter. Additional volunteers are needed to assist with fundraising and to help with expanding the program to include additional activities.

Vapor intrusions generally occur when volatile chemicals migrate from a release area through soil and/or groundwater. These chemical vapors can migrate into a building's enclosed space, posing a potential health concern to the inhabitants of the building. Vapor intrusion conditions are often identified while a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is being conducted on a property. If a potential vapor intrusion encroachment is identified, we will consult with the client to keep the project moving forward.
Vapor intrusion has been a particular concern caused by cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene or PCE), typically used at old dry cleaning facilities, in addition to petroleum products associated with old service stations.
Vapor Intrusion Assessments determine if the concentrations of volatile chemicals are present in levels that pose an unacceptable risk of chronic health effects due to long-term exposure. A complicating factor in evaluating the potential chronic risk, is the possible presence of chemicals from emission sources in the building (e.g., household solvents, gasoline, or cleaners). These may pose, separately or in combination with vapor intrusion, a significant human health risk. The figure below depicts migration of volatile chemicals.
We have experience in conducting Vapor Intrusion Assessments following the ASTM E2600-15 Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions. This process involves the collection of air samples, evaluation of current site conditions, data interpretation, and the compilation of a comprehensive report to identify if a vapor intrusion condition exists on a particular property.

Where words fail, music speaks. (Hans Christian Andersen, author)
Use instrumental music to put your guests into the spirit of reverent joy. And, if you wish to request some song that has special meaning to you but isn't liturgically appropriate, perhaps having it played as an instrumental prelude or postlude may still allow you the chance to hear it at your ceremony.
Besides piano or organ, have you considered using any additional instruments? Steven Vaughan, the Director of Music Ministry, will be happy to make arrangements for you with professional musicians. Here are some selections to consider...
Music Planning > Wedding >
Instrumental Preludes/Meditations
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Title: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Composer: J. S. Bach
Instrument: Organ
Notes: Apollo 100's electronic keyboards adaptation was featured in the film Boogie Nights. The Beach Boys used it as a basis for Lady Lynda. Renée Fleming, who just sang the national anthem for Super Bowl XLVIII, recorded it on her 2005 album "Sacred Songs". The Brian Setzer Orchestra performs a swing arrangement as Bach's Bounce. And if you YouTube "Japanese commercial Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" you can see it played on a GIANT gravity-driven xylophone constructed in a Kyushu forest! For more information about this piece, click here.
La cathédrale engloutie
Title: La cathédrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedral)
Composer: C. Debussy
Instrument: Piano
Notes: This prelude is based on an ancient myth about a submerged underwater cathedral that rises up from the sea on clear mornings through the transparent water. Listen to the mimicked sounds of priests chanting, bells chiming, and the organ playing. These are still heard as it sinks back into the ocean, but from underwater.
The Irish Wedding Song
Title: The Irish Wedding Song
Composer: I. Betteridge
Instrument: Bagpipe
Notes: Frequently a bagpipe plays on the front steps of the church as a festive way to welcome your arriving guests. And pictures with the piper are memorable for both the guests and the nuptial couple.
Gabriel's Oboe
Title: Gabriel's Oboe
Composer: E. Morricone
Instrument: Oboe
Notes: The main theme from the 1986 film The Mission, it's been called "unforgettable" and a "celebrated oboe melody" if you're considering the lyrical sound of a wind instrument.
The Swan
Title: The Swan (Le cygne, from The Carnival of the Animals)
Composer: C. Saint-Saëns
Instrument: Cello
Notes: This lushly romantic solo which evokes the swan elegantly gliding over the water is a staple of the cello repertoire. The sound of a cello brings elegance and beauty to any special event.

VANCOUVER, WA—Vancouver Victory FC are pleased to announce that Troy Ready will be the club's new head coach going forward as preparations begin to defend the 2016 Evergreen Premier League Championship. Ready takes over for Aaron Lewis who recently was announced as the new head coach of the Portland Timbers U23's of the PDL.
"It's an honor to be named head coach and to begin serving in this role," Ready (pronounced 'Reedy') says. "The Vancouver Victory have a fantastic reputation both on and off the field, and it will be my joy to extend the success of this club going forward."
"Troy came highly recommended by Coach Lewis as his successor at the helm of the victory," says Vancouver owner Barrett Goddard. "He and I share similar philosophies about soccer and development."
"After interviewing Troy and chatting with him a few times it was obvious that he and I had the same rapport and comfort level that I had with Aaron Lewis. We are excited to bringing a new dynamic to our coaching staff and are expecting great things from Troy as he gets going."
Likius Hafeni will return as Victory assistant coach.
Success under Aaron Lewis
Goddard and the Victory were highly successful with Lewis at the helm. They were a combined 18-7-3 over two seasons. "When Aaron called me and told me about the opportunity to catch the Portland Timbers U23 team I was disappointed yet at the same time very excited for him," Says Goddard. "Knowing that this would be an excellent opportunity for Aaron I encouraged him to take a hard look at the position."
Lewis and Goddard anticipate keeping connections alive between the Victory and Corban University Men's Soccer. "It is rewarding to know that the development of our coaches and players has led to other opportunities for them to further themselves professionally in soccer," Goddard shares. "I am excited for Aaron and his family as he begins an exciting new opportunity with the team closer to his home in Salem."
More about Troy Ready
Troy Ready was raised in Spokane, Washington and attended college at the University of Washington where he led the team to their first ever Sweet 16 appearance as the leading scorer and offensive MVP. He went on to play professionally for three seasons with the Portland Timbers and later in Tajikistan with Vakhsh FC.
Troy also has an extensive coaching background and holds a USSF "A" license along with an Asian Football Confederation "B" license. He has coached at the international level as a member of Tajikistan's Football Federation, professionally as an assistant for Vakhsh FC, semi-pro as an assistant for the Portland Timbers U-23's, and collegiately for a combined 7 years at Corban University, Whitworth University, and Warner Pacific College.
Troy also has a passion to use the platform of soccer for community development. He is currently serving in his 4th season as the chaplain for the Portland Timbers, was co-humanitarian of the year as a player, and spent 4 years in Central Asia using soccer as a vehicle for relief and development.
Troy and his wife, Jenny, have been married for 12 years and have three sons (Myles, 8), (Keats, 6), and Tanner (3). In his free time you'll find him hanging with his friends and family, playing the guitar, or trying to figure out how to fly fish.

That's because of the Black Plague, which devastated Europe in the 16th century, that we needed here to extend the small charnel house.
So, in 1432, Nicolas Roussel, vicar of Saint-Maclou, gave a house and a garden in order to extend this cemetery. In the 16th century, they added three galleries then a fourth one in the next century.
Oh, look at those details... so macabre! Beams are decorated with bones and skulls patterns...

text: MUSIC Wu-Tang Clan Offered $5 Million for One-of-a-Kind Album, Says RZA 10:30 AM PDT 4/2/2014 by Jem Aswad, Billboard FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Relativity "Brick Mansions" The novel release plan attracts plenty of interest as the rappers sift through offers. Wu-Tang Clan turned the concept of artist compensation on its ear last week with the announcement that they'll be manufacturing just one unique copy of their forthcoming LP, The Wu — Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, and then auctioning it off for a price they expect to reach into the millions. The group's RZA, who masterminded the project with producer/Wu-Tang extended family member Tarik "Cilvaringz" Azzougarh, told Billboard that their goal got closer to reality this week. PHOTOS: Hip-Hop's Bling-iest Music Videos of All Time "Offers came in at $2 million, somebody offered $5 million yesterday," he said via phone from Los Angeles yesterday, during a break from promotion work on Brick Mansions, his forthcoming film with the late Paul Walker, and Gang Related, his Fox show launching next month. "I've been getting a lot of emails: some from people I know, some from people I don't know, and they're also emailing other members of my organization. "So far, $5 million is the biggest number. I don't know how to measure it, but it gives us an idea that what we're doing is being understood by some. And there are some good peers of mine also, who are very high-ranking in the film business and the music business, sending me a lot of good will. It's been real positive." STORY: Paul Walker's Death: RZA Dedicates New Original Song (Audio) The 31-track album, which was recorded in secret over the past few years and produced by Cilvaringz "under the tutelage" of the RZA, was announced a week ago today. It will be housed in a hand-carved nickel-silver box designed by British-Moroccan artist Yahya. In a manifesto on the project's website, the band says the goal is to make a statement about music as a work of art in the ongoing debate over creators' compensation in the context of the digital revolution. "The intrinsic value of music has been reduced to zero," it reads. "Contemporary art is worth millions by virtue of its exclusivity. This album is a piece of contemporary art." "The main theme is music being accepted and respected as art and being treated as such," said RZA. "If something is rare, it's rare. You cannot get another." While the site's claim that "this is the first high-profile album never to be commercially released to the public and the first of its kind in the history of music" is not entirely accurate — one-off releases from Radiohead and Jean Michel Jarre, among others, have been created and sold — the project is unquestionably an interesting milestone in the music industry's ongoing dilemma over artist compensation.

"Together Again"
Stephen Balog Sr.
Age 92, of North Industry, OH passed away Thursday, May 24, 2018. Born June 2, 1925 in Midway, Ohio to the late Michael and Mary (Mularcik) Balog. He was a North Industry resident since 1949 when he constructed his home from the ground up. Stephen was a U.S. Army WWII veteran and was a recipient of the Purple Heart Medal. He retired from East Ohio Gas Company in 1987 with 30 years of service and never missed a day of work. He was a member of St Mary's/St Benedict Catholic Parish and the Knights of Columbus. Stephen was an avid gardener, golfer where he had two holes-in-one at the age of 80 and 85, bowler where he bowled until two months shy of his 90th birthday, and he was a "Jack of all trades".

Morning Livestock Report, 11/30/2015
Monday, November 30, 2015
We ended last week with the cash cattle market never really getting off the ground. I hear of some light $127 business on Friday in KS, steady with the prior week, and some additional $124-125 live equivalent business in the North. Smaller and smaller weekly negotiated trade volumes have been a trend in this industry for years, but I suspect the issue was compounded last week with nasty weather leaving producers unwilling to move inventories at steady or lower prices. We haven't seen the sun since Tuesday here in KC and this whole region from El Paso to Canada has seen a wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and drizzle which no doubt is impacting cattle performance. Upwards of 5-12" of snow is expected in NW IA today. Total weekly slaughter coming in at just 462K head, vs 492K head this same week last year, and smaller than expected due to weather troubles late last week. Do note the boxed beef markets traded firmer last week, up $1.26 in the choice and $4.55 in the select, with additional seasonal strength expected through mid-month.

Early learning and childcare trials discussion paper: analysis of responses

- Children and Families Directorate

Analysis of responses to a discussion on establishing delivery model trials to support expanding the early learning and childcare provision.
11. Views On Designing Trials For Scalability
The Scottish Government wishes to maximise the value of the ELC programme by ensuring that the lessons learned from trials can be applied to similar ELC settings in Scotland. Consideration is required on what needs to be factored into the design of the trials to enable this.
Question 10: How can we design the trials in such a way as to ensure scalability?
11.1 44 respondents addressed this question. An overarching theme across a wide range of responses was that trials should be set up from the outset as learning mechanisms intended to produce lessons of more general applicability.
11.2 A few respondents recommended that thorough groundwork be undertaken prior to setting up trials including examining evaluations of trials in other jurisdictions, consulting with key stakeholders and ensuring common understandings of concepts such as "playful approaches to arts and creativity".
11.3 17 respondents from a wide range of sectors emphasised the need for trials to test a variety of settings and provider models; patterns of provision ( e.g. seasonal); scale of budget; size; rurality; "hard to reach" communities; outdoor space access. By doing so, they envisaged that aspects of the trials would be relevant to areas throughout Scotland.
11.4 11 respondents recommended that robust evaluative methods are used to assess the trials. Standardised approaches to evaluation with measurable outcomes were advocated, with appropriate indicators and data collection mechanisms in place from the start. One respondent called for "experts" to conduct the evaluations which some emphasised should be done with rigour. The challenge of time needed for outcomes to be realised was highlighted once again, with one respondent identifying the need for:
".....a reasonable timeframe for the trials so that approaches can be applied effectively without appearing to be a 'quick fix' and ending up being ineffective in the long term when rolled out" (Voluntary organisation).
11.5 A few respondents specified the importance of establishing baseline data; comparator areas where the same provision is trialled but in different settings; representative samples; and qualitative data collection during interviews with parents and other key stakeholders, in addition to quantitative measurement.
11.6 It was suggested that the Care Inspectorate Registration Team could usefully provide the Scottish Government with information on the pattern and location of variation to existing services and any new applications to register services in order to provide a database of provision as a backcloth to the trials.
11.7 28 respondents identified broad ways to set up the trials to make them mechanisms for shared learning. A few recommended establishing "cluster groups" which involve all providers in one area, supported by regional funding.
11.8 Two respondents referred to the "test of change" model established through the Early Years Collaborative as having potential for application to the trials. A voluntary organisation suggested action research as an appropriate approach to learning from the trials, or a "quality improvement model".
11.9 Two respondents emphasised their view that trials should be kept simple; a local authority recommended focusing trials on key themes and core concepts. One representative body suggested that standardisation across trials, for example, in childminder pay, would aid scalability.
11.10 A common view amongst five respondents from different sectors was that the trials should be underpinned by realistic budgets to provide a genuine picture of potential for expansion. One respondent, however, cautioned that limited funds should not be wasted:
"The government should ensure that what money is available for trials is not wasted on never to be employed initiatives - we know what the problems are with early learning and care provision. Hence a handful of excellently funded initiatives targeted in specific local authorities and issues (universality, rural provision, disability services, poverty mitigation childminding, etc.), because of their nature, would be better than a plethora of trials that didn't amount to anything" (Other body).
11.11 Eight respondents from a range of sectors identified robust dissemination of lessons, including sharing events run by the Scottish Government, as necessary to ensure issues of scalability can be addressed. One local authority suggested that there are currently effective local models of provision which could be usefully shared and scaled up and these could be the focus of early dissemination.
11.12 Several local authorities and others cautioned that it is unlikely that successful approaches can be transported wholesale to settings elsewhere in Scotland, but that aspects of approaches are more likely to be relevant to other areas. In learning from trials, they emphasised the need to identify pilots which could be tailored for other local circumstances, with aspects extrapolated for scaling up elsewhere.
11.13 Four respondents from different sectors emphasised the need for the supporting infrastructure for trials to be recognised as crucial and not simply the initiatives themselves. For example, appropriate funding and staffing were crucial for other areas looking to replicate successful aspects of trials, demonstrating the importance of transparency over the structural resources required for the trials.
Implications for proposed trials
11.14 In order for successful aspects of trials to be scaled up, respondents identified a number of design features to be incorporated from the start. These included ensuring they are set up as learning mechanisms; are simple and focused to enable lessons to be clearly identifiable; that thorough groundwork is undertaken to make sure they are evidence-based and testing clearly specific concepts and approaches; that they test a variety of settings which will produce relevant learning for different locations across Scotland; that they are underpinned with robust evaluative methods and have firm baseline data; that budgets for the trials are realistic and provide a genuine picture of funding and supporting infrastructure required; and that dissemination of lessons is robust and information widely shared post-trial.

Jesus Joshua 24:15 is a power trio from St.Pauls, Nc. who's sole purpose is to take the simple gospel of Christ to the streets.
As a power trio, they have a full, hard hitting metal sound and lyrics that lift high the name of Jesus.
Vocalist: Steve Pettit
Drummer: Bobby Shepherd
Guitarist: William Rauser
Bassist: Jay Woody
The band is based out of Saint Pauls North Carolina. A small Mayberry like town located just south of Fayetteville on I 95. Bobby and Will live in Saint Pauls while Steve and Jay live in Fayetteville. The band began in 1995 with Bobby and Will followed by Jay a short time later.
Originally a four piece band with Jay on lead vocals, the band went to power trio status after their bass player left. Jay stepped up to play bass and sing lead as they pushed their first project "The Time of My Return", recorded in 1997.
Little did they know that October of 2000 would be the last show for some time. Upon God's instructions, they began preparations to transform their small rehearsal room into a recording studio. They began recording "Once and for All" in December of 2001 and after getting four songs tracked, had to start over in June of 2002.After several songs were tracked, the trio realized that their vocal skills did not stack up to their instrumental skills. Only one person was up for consideration as front man of the band.
After he declined, God dropped Steve's name in the mix. Having had known each other for some time, they decided to give it a try.
"Once and for All" was finally completed in May of 2003 and Jesus Joshua 24:15 has now found a home with David Kelsey and Soul Joy Records. With a new sound and a great CD in hand, the band is ready to go wherever the Lord leads them to take the good news of Jesus Christ to those who most need to hear it.

- Organyc Organic Cotton First Day Maternity Pads
Organyc Organic Cotton First Day Maternity Pads 100% organic cotton, ultra soft, thick and fluffy towels.
Specifically tailored to meet the needs of a delicate vaginal environment after childbirth, and specially designed to absorb a heavy flow in the first days after delivery. Ultra absorbent and with breathable biodegradable protective film, Organyc "first days" allows air to circulate, thus facilitating healing and reducing the risk of infections. Organyc Organic Cotton First Day Maternity Pads are certified by Ecocert.
Suitable for Vegans.
Size: 12 pads
Well, most are not made of cotton. Many well-known, nationally-advertised brands of tampons, pads and panty liners are made of mostly synthetics. Like rayon. Feminine pads from many of the best known brands also contain something called SAPs, which stands for Super Absorbent Powders. While doing their job to absorb better, SAPs are made from polymers that are derived from crude oil. Think how close those SAPs will be to you. Tampons and pads often contain wood pulp. It's not what you expect. But that's what you're probably using. Wouldn't you prefer cotton?
Bleached, did you say bleached?
Yes. Many well-known brands are made with material that is bleached with chlorine. Do you want that touching you? Chlorine bleaching leaves a by-product: dioxin. So women may be exposed to small but detectable levels of this known toxin whenever they use pads and tampons that are chlorine beached.
Organcy is 100% Organic Cotton
Unlike most feminine care brands, Organ(y)c contains no synthetics, no SAPs and no wood pulp. For good hygiene, we bleach only in hydrogen peroxide, a naturally occurring disinfectant. Organ(y)c contains only one ingredient: 100% organic cotton.
Why use 100% Organic Cotton?
• Protects against leaks
• Holds more than twenty times its weight in liquid
• pH compatible
• It is not manufactured
• Not from a test tube
• Not plastic
• It is nature's gift SOFT AS… …well, soft as cotton
• Cotton sets the bar high for softness
• Cotton is naturally breathable
• Keeps you dry and comfortable
• Moves with you
• Never itchy
• See soft and breathable above
• A large percentage of women know they have sensitive skin
• Organ(y)c is hypoallergenic
• Skin and cotton blend well together
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials with the purpose of reducing the impact on the environment. And preserving the natural equilibrium between the many components of the ecosystem. Organic agriculture endeavors to work in harmony with nature, producing healthy plants for healthy people. For example, organic farming uses bio-rational products and bio-control agents for pest management. Organic certification is the public's assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict, safe procedures.

Airbrush Tanning
Our Airbrush Tan has gone MOBILE! Enjoy the application of your beautiful organic tan in the comfort of your own home or schedule an appointment to have it done here at The Rockefeller Center.
What makes you tan?
DHA is the primary ingredient used in sunless tanning products. It is often derived from plant sources such as sugar beets, sugar cane, and by the fermentation of glycerin. It was first noted in the 1920′s by German Scientists as having a browning effect on the skin. DHA is non toxic as it reacts with amino acids of the skin only on the surface layers of keratin producing various shades of brown. Allergic reactions are rare and are mostly caused by other ingredients added to the tanning solutions.
Our tanning solution contains all natural and organic ingredients:
- No petro-chemicals, mineral oils, parabens
No artificial preservatives
No artificial colors or fragrance
No animal testing
High in vitamins, active ingredients, luscious natural oils and pure botanicals
Make Your Airbrush Tan Look Better and Last Longer!
CUSTOM Airbrush Tan $40
Packages AvaiLable
Call Hope Santana to schedule 619-664-9151
The Day Before Your Appointment:
Exfoliate the day before you treatment to remove dry, flaky skin that causes uneven tanning
We suggest a BODY SCRUB 24 hours before your tanning session
Shave the day before your tan
The Day of Your Appointment:
Your skin should be clean
You should remove all makeup
DO NOT apply lotions or perfumes prior to getting sprayed
Use deodorant very sparingly
You may tan in the garment of your choice. Bathing suits and underwear work well.
Men are required to wear underwear or bathing suit.
The DHA solution should wash out of most clothing
Wear loose fitting clothing for after session.
Tight clothes can rub off the DHA bronzer and smear the cosmetic bronzer.
We recommend loose shorts, and a loose fitting t-shirt (DO NOT WEAR JEANS)
Important: You must avoid water entirely for at least four hours or you will stop the tanning action of the DHA!
Immediately after your spray tanning session avoid activities that may cause you to sweat excessively
Use the air conditioning in your car on a hot day.
Ideally, wait at least eight hours (or more) before showering or bathing with any kind of soap or shower gel. We recommend the next day if possible.
If you absolutely must shower before the eight hour period, wait at least four hours, then use plain water only to allow your tan to continue to develop.
Apply moisturizer after the shower and everyday after your tanning session. This will help prolong your tan.
The ''instant color'' cosmetic bronzer will wash off just as it is designed to do.
Do not take long hot baths or showers.
Chlorine from a pool or Jacuzzi can cause your tan to fade faster.

Jumping the K120 – Lake Placid, NY
What's it like to fly through the air at 80 miles an hour off a 120m tower on a pair of skis? It's something I always wanted to know! The ski jumps in Lake Placid have always dominated the landscape since they were built for the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. I've been up to the top a few times covering corporate events up there, but was never fortunate enough to see it being used. The smaller 90m is used year around, but the 120m takes a lot of effort to get up and running and just one 45 degree day can melt the ramp surface. With the warming temperatures of the last decade or so of winter, it hasn't been open…..until this year!
A friend of mine is a ski jumper and mentioned I should come get some shots of it in use. Luckily the technology of video has come so far so fast that there are now some new tools to show this sport in a way that wasnt possible just a couple years ago.
I just received my new DJI Inspire 1 aerial drone and its the perfect flying platform to get super stable shots! Couple that with the incredible GoPro action cameras and we were in business! I hope you enjoy the video, its the closest many of us will ever want to get to going off a massive ski hump like this!
Plants are cool, too! Episode 4-New Mexico
Doing this show is one of the highlights of my year! We have such a great time making them and it's always fun to "get the band back together" to do so. You see, the host Chris Martine and my co-producer Tim Kramer both used to live near me in Upstate New York, but have since moved to different parts of the country. This was the first episode where we all arrived from different parts of the country. It's always "interesting" flying with TV gear, and this time I had to go it alone. Luckily, it all arrived along with me (not always the case when you have to check some of it). Soon we were on a journey across the deserts of New Mexico to shoot not just one, but TWO episodes of Plants are cool, too!
This episode involves giant hawk moths that fly for miles each night in search of flower nectar — and are thus critically important as pollinators of desert wildflowers. We met up with Krissa Skogen (Chicago Botanic Garden) in New Mexico's White Sands National Monument and found plant romance happening by the light of the full moon!
Shooting in the desert heat (105-110 F during the day) really was a challenge! The camera got so hot, being black, that it sometimes overheated, giving a temperature warning in the viewfinder! Luckily, a few minutes of down time in the shade gets it back running again. I used the SONY EX1 for this, as doing this kind of run and gun shooting (all handheld) is best with that camera instead of the Canon C100. Its always important to use the right tool for the job!
Oh yeah, did I mention we had to look out for scorpions and rattle snakes all the while we were working as well! That's a new experience for this country boy from Northern New York!
This episode was the first one that Tim and I did a collaborative edit on and it worked out great! We are both using FCPX and once the file structures are the same on our hard drives, then its just a matter of swapping the project file over the internet to see the edit the other guy was working on! I been so busy lately that Tim did most of the editorial cutting on this one, getting the story down and I did the clean-up/polishing to it. Which included audio sweetening, color correction, graphic creation etc…
Its a long video, so grab a beverage and prepare to get edu-ma-cated!! 🙂
Whiteface Lake Placid – Summer Passport video
I shot and edited this video for adworkshop in Lake Placid. It's a fun video showcasing the Summer Passport from whiteface.com. It was all shot in one day. Kudos to Kari Hoffman for putting together the tight schedule and lining up the "actors". The song is very catchy and it's licensed from audiojungle.net. I've been using them for a while now because you can license music for @$17 a song. Very reasonable and it's quite good! I had heard this song on there and was waiting for the right project to use it on, I was excited to hear Kari say she thought it would work perfectly for this video.
I've always wondered what it would be like to jump off an Olympic size ski jump. Luckily, Kari's husband Taylor is a ski jumper, so he and his buds took the gopro helmet strap up and did a few runs with it! Pretty cool stuff so make sure you make it to the 1:45 mark!
This video is a good example of using the right camera for the right job. Most was shot with my Canon C100, however, the GoPro 3 was used on the POV car shots, stuck to the outside of the Gondola and on the ski jumpers and luge/bobsled riders. I also used my Sony EX1 for the overcranked shots of the ski jumpers going slo-mo into the water. Each camera has it's strengths, and you need them all to get the job done sometimes!
Maryann & Andrew "Coming Soon" wedding preview (UPDATE-I'M NO LONGER DOING WEDDING VIDEOS)
I only shoot a couple weddings a year. (UPDATE 1/1/15- I have decided to no longer do any wedding videos, they are just too much work as described below). With my regular work of corporate videos, TV shows, and commercials, I just don't have the time to do too many of these. Plus to be honest, they are probably the most stressful gigs to do!! There is no second takes. You can't control the situation like with most shoots. Its purely capturing the events that unfold the best you can. And to do them to the level of what I like to work at, its downright exhausting! Most times its a 12 plus hour day. I shoot mostly with my new C100 camera. But during the actual ceremony, I set up 3 other cameras, one that my wife runs, and two locked off shots. This helps later when you edit to keep the shots cutting around to hold interest. On top of that is the audio to worry about! I use two wireless mics, one on the groom and one on the officiant. The bride is usually close enough to either of those two that I can pick her up audio up from them.
I start shooting around 9am for most weddings, getting the bride getting hair and makeup done. Then go over to the grooms location and get them getting ready, then back to brides place to get dress going on. I also do interviews during these times to use through out the video. I find you need some statements to give some kind of "story" and meaning to the finished video. Once I get that all done, it's off to set up the four cameras and audio at the event location. I also try to get shots of people arriving, the nervousness of the groom etc…this is by far the most stressful time of the day! The clock is ticking and it can be a challenge to set up everything where you need to, get the camera settings correct for each location, find groom and officiant to put wireless mics on them, test those mics to the camera and still get shots of folks arriving! My wife is great and a big help at schlepping gear, but I need to do all the set ups because she doesn't know much about cameras!
Once the ceremony is finished, I feel a bit relieved! The receptions have moments you have to capture, but I only use two cameras for most of that stuff. By the end of the night, I have over 80GB of camera footage to then sift through later on for the edit. This equates to about 6-7 hours of footage for an eventual 25-30 minute final video! Within two weeks, usually sooner, I edit one of these "Coming soon" preview trailers for the couple to show all their friends what the day was like. They usually post it on their facebook page. These little 3 minute videos can take up to 8 hours to edit! The actual video takes closer to 40 hours to edit! Now, you can begin to see why wedding videos can be expensive! It's not your Uncle Louie in the back of the event with his handycam, these are full broadcast quality HD movies that could run on TV!
Sometimes I think "Is it too much that I'm doing for these?" "Do I REALLY need to be so fanatical about it all?" but in the long run, it's a life event for the couple and it's my job to make the video a treasured keepsake for them. Even more then photos, the video has the ability to REALLY capture the day. The sights, the locations, the sounds, the atmosphere, peoples voices…one bride lost her grandmother shortly after the video and said she was so thankful I got her talking on the video so she could always remember her voice! It's these little moments in a video that can truly make all the effort worthwhile!
Maryann and Andrew were a wonderful couple to work with! So full of joy and passion that I knew right away this one would be special! The rainy summer decided to take a day off and the actual wedding day was just glorious! They picked the Whiteface Club and Resort in Lake Placid for their destination wedding (Andrews parents live there) and I can't think of a prettier place to have an outdoor wedding.
Rediscovering the Light: Restoring New York's Capitol
Here is the TV promo I made to promote the Public Television special I've been working on with Joanne Durfee at WMHT in Troy/Albany NY. She's been the Producer/Writer and I've been the shooter/editor. We hope to have the show ready to air by late June 2013. It will probably air on all the PBS stations in NYS. This half hour show will highlight the completion of phase four on the restoration project to bring the Capitol back to it's original splendor. It really is an AMAZING building that one should visit if in the Albany NY area.
Plants are cool, too! Episode 3
Our latest episode of "Plants are cool, too!" is now online! This one was shot right up here in Upstate New York and features a plant called "Skunk Cabbage". Our host Chris Martine visits Rachel Schultz to learn all about this amazing plant that can generate it's own heat and smells like a "Zombie"! Find out how and why by clicking below.
Bluff Point Golf Resort 2013
Bluff Point Golf Resort is one of the oldest golf courses in America. It's located on the shores of Lake Champlain, NY, near Plattsburgh. Last year the owner contacted me about shooting some footage to highlight some of the unique features they offer. Probably the main one is the lodging rentals right on the course. They have great "cabins" which may sound rustic to some but are actually quite cozy. There is also access to a private sand beach, horseshoe pits and more! This is an example of a video a client can put on their website by embedding it from YouTube at no cost. People love to watch video on websites now and there's no better way to really get your message across then with video, narration and music all cut together into a 2-3 minute message!

when i came to visit rcg in september
i was walking around bosque de chapultepec
when i found a lake with paddle boats.
obviously i wanted to be in those boats.
i wanted to be in them real bad.
but it had to wait.
until this weekend.
we decided to make a day of it --
picnic and paddle boats.
but a picnic with a twist:
we would each make a dish or two
and surprise each other.
plus, rcg found 101 picnic ideas
so we had tons of ideas to choose from.
i made a tomato and peach salad.
- peaches
- tomatoes
- red onion
- cilantro
- lime
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
and this great dish from red cat.
- zucchini
- toasted almonds
- pecorino
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
and rcg made a shrimp, potato, and corn extravaganza.
- potatoes
- corn
- shrimp
- olive oil
- red pepper flakes
- salt & pepper
which we mixed with a sauce of my own concoction.
- mayonaise
- sriracha
- relish
- lime juice
and, of course, we had mango for desert.
cause it's mango season, y'all.
lunch was crazy delicious.
and then we went paddle boating.
which was totally ridiculous
-- like most things i do --
because the seats were kind of broken
and it was difficult to steer,
but it was also pretty cool.
we sat on this silly yellow boat
in the middle of a lake
with about 50 other silly yellow and blue boats
in the middle of mexico city
and just drifted along.
it was oddly calming in a city of such chaos.
and obviously,
the day would not be complete without
us sitting on fake horses
with sombreros on.
crazy amazing ridiculous.

Getting Rid Of Candida
Getting rid of Candida can be the hardest job in the world for a lot of yeast infection sufferers. Continual use anti fungal drugs just to have your infection come back again is not an enjoyable or comfortable way to live your life. If this is how your treating yeast infections at the moment then you need to change what you're doing. At present you're only treating the symptoms of your Candida, and that is the reason that the infection comes back. You need to get to the cause of the Candida so you can put an end to your infection for good.
Treating yeast infections from the cause
When getting rid of Candida it's important that you treat your infection from the root cause. So many women are continually using anti fungal creams that they purchase from their local drug store in the hope that they will one day wake up and their infection will be gone. This is not how you treat the Candia fungus in the human body. The infection must be got rid of from the root cause.
The Candida Albicans yeast lives in our body all the time. Once it's there, there's no way of eliminating it for good because it enters your body every day when you eat. In a healthy person it is killed off by stomach acid, and whatever does get through to the intestines is kept under control by the beneficial bacteria that lives there.
Beneficial bacteria
In your intestines there is a colony of beneficial bacteria that keep the Candida under control. If getting rid of Candida is a struggle for you then you can guarantee that your levels of beneficial bacteria are low. These can be killed off by the use of antibiotics, and antibiotics is now the biggest cause of yeast infections.
Killing the fungus
When killing fungus it's much beneficial to your health if you do it with herbs. Using drugs can upset your body's chemical balance, and they are not good for you if you need them long term. Herbs are much kinder to your system, and they won't effect your body's natural chemical or bacterial balance.
Strengthening your immune system
Strengthening your immune system is important to keeping yourself fit and healthy. Once you have killed the fungus you don't want it to return. Treating yeast infections can't be successfully achieved if you have a weak immune system. Once your body is strong from the inside then it makes it difficult for the Candida to mutate into an infection causing fungus.

Q: What's something you wish you'd known before going abroad?
A: Surprisingly I think I was very prepared to go abroad. However, I wish I'd been prepared for American serving sizes and how much weight I'd gain… American serving sizes are enormous! At McDonald's, an American Large drink is double the size of an Australian large! However, the experience of American food was amazing and well worth it – My absolute favorite food was Cinnamon Pretzels from Auntie Anne's, we don't have them!
Q: What's your favorite memory abroad?
A: My most distinct memory was over Thanksgiving break. I never understood the meaning of Thanksgiving or what the holiday entailed. My friend Bek and I traveled to New York where I had some family friends. We decided we wanted to go to the famous 'Thanksgiving Day Parade'. We got up ridiculously early and made our way into Manhattan, quickly realizing why everyone thought we were crazy for wanting to go!
It was freezing cold and we couldn't get close enough to the fence. We then saw people getting let into a VIP section… We worked our way to the front, and then managed to persuade a very kind police officer to let us into the VIP section as his 'family'. Shout out to Officer Finnerty, you made Thanksgiving in the USA very memorable for me! The rest of the day followed with copious amounts of food and alcohol, then shopping the Black Friday sales the day after. It was an amazing experience!
Q: What's something you wish you'd known before going abroad?
A: Before travelling abroad, I wish I'd known what the housing was like. I felt a bit isolated with the housing I was provided with, since it didn't have furniture or a microwave - which would've been very helpful since we were pretty far from the food hall. I was told prior to leaving that my housing would be Fairview House (a new dorm right in the middle of campus), but a week later, this was changed to UT ( a 20 minute walk from campus with no basic utilities) for some reason, so I did wish I knew this prior to travelling abroad. Apart from that though, everything worked out so well!
I also found Greek life very unique. It's clearly a very important part of college life, and I found it to be so much fun. I loved how involved everyone was with charities, traditions and bonding with other members of Greek life, even if it was just friendly competition, like at Homecoming

The amount of occasions maybe you have walked through Walmart or Publix seeing superbly made birthday cakes? I bet you thought, "do not know perfect cake?" Maybe it's a birthday cake, wedding cake, or cupcakes for your office, presentation is important. One or more times most of us have wondered the best way to produce such works of art. So follow this advice and techniques that may help you.
Before you ice a cake it must be level. A good way to help make this happen is to apply Bake Even Strips. You wet them and connect them around your pan to help your cake bake more evenly. You may even utilize a cake leveler to merely steer clear of the dome that may form. I really like this process because you can munch round the excess.
The next first factor to complete to making a bakery worthy cake is always to ice the dessert smooth. The simplest way to do that might be to put a thin layer of icing round the cake referred to as a crumb coat. As recommended by its name this layer catches any crumbs which will disappear the dessert that you would not need to visit within your final layer of icing. Following a crumb coat, convey a layer of thinner consistency icing round the cake, beginning on the top and your path lower the perimeters. When you're the dessert covered and smooth as you can enable the icing to crust. Once the icing crusts, cover both of your hands in corn starch and smooth over any difficulty areas. You may even easily cover small difficulties with adornments.
Adornments might be complex or simple. A little design could be produced fancier utilizing a different tip. For instance as opposed to employing a normal round tip for letters, you are able to write employing a star tip as opposed to the round tip. A great way to convey a design inside your cake is to apply piping gel. Simply put the appearance you need under a little bit of waxed paper and outline the to research the waxed paper with piping gel. Once the design is tracked place the waxed paper design side lower and run your finger gently within the design. This provides an overview round the cake that will help demonstrate.

The inherent darkness and pessimism of Steven Spielberg's body of work
By Scott Mendelson
HollywoodNews.com: Many of the reviews, especially the negative ones, for Steven Spielberg's War Horse have emphasized the melodramatic 'boy and his horse' narrative, accusing the film of wallowing in sentimentality. Moreover, they basically accuse the picture of being 'conventional Spielberg', again citing the classic meme that Steven Spielberg isn't capable of truly playing in on the dark side. For as long as I can remember (early-80s, natch), Steven Spielberg has had a reputation as the "Mr. Mass Audience", the guy who, film-making chops aside, was looked down upon because of his reputation as a purveyor of mainstream feel-good sentiment. He was the guy who made general audiences tear-up on cue, but still walk out feeling good. But looking over his filmography, not only are his 'dark and adult' pictures more frequent than you might realize, his entire reputation as a softy basically stems from one single incredibly popular (and critically-acclaimed) film that he made in 1982. On a film-by-film basis, Spielberg is far more likely to scare you or deeply disturb you than leave you with a nasty case of the warm-and-fuzzies.
It bears repeating that Spielberg's reputation as an unchallenging filmmaker for the masses has been around for thirty years or so. Looking back on his first decade of mainstream film making (let's say 1974-1984), it is ET: The Extra Terrestrial that stood out then, and arguably still today as the quintessential Spielberg film. While it certainly stood then and now as one of his most personal films, it's astonishing success (highest-grossing film of all time for 15 years) basically branded Spielberg as a director whose every film contained the kind of small-town nostalgia and overtly tear-jerking emotionalism that made ET such a smash hit. It's a meme that has followed Spielberg for the last thirty years. And going through his filmography it's apparent that it's not entirely a fair assessment of his career. From 1974 until 2011, Spielberg has shown viewers the darkness at least as much, if not more so, than he has shown them the light.
Jaws is a brutally violent horror drama that offers little good-cheer other than the cathartic final triumph. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a disturbing character study about a husband/father who slowly goes insane and eventually ditches his family to go on a ride with interstellar beings (those same being who have been abducting random people for centuries, that they arbitrarily return them at the climax doesn't make them 'the good guys'). The first two Indiana Jones pictures are relentlessly violent, cynical, and relatively cold-hearted in their casual disregard for human life. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is so grotesque that it helped create a new MPAA classification, along with Gremlins (a darkly chaotic suburban horror comedy produced by… guess who?). These films are of course 'fun', but they are not sweeping testaments to the inherent decency of humanity E.T. was arguably his first overly sentimental and 'feel-good' film, and I would argue that its record-shattering success is the sole reason why critics (especially detractors) consider Spielberg to be a producer of mainstream feel-good bubblegum fantasies.
But the Steven Spielberg who directed E.T. is also the Steven Spielberg who directed Schindler's List, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, War of the Worlds, Munich, and yes War Horse. These are dark, painful, and often cynical films that show humanity at their darkest hours, and often at their worst. Sure War of the Worlds has a slightly upbeat finale, but does the final two minutes cancel out the proceeding 105 minutes of unrelenting horror and hopeless pessimism about humanity's ability to survive (morally and literally) the attempted extinction of itself? Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan both end of notes of relative 'hope', but the narratives sandwiched between their prologues and epilogues are tales of war, genocide, and inherent human immorality. War Horse ends on a somewhat upbeat note, but the surviving characters have to go through the literal hell of war to get there, and they are no doubt scared and hardened by their experiences. The film is more than just a 'boy and his horse' fable, it is a bleak and unapologetic anti-war drama delivered through the bloodstained and arbitrary mass-slaughter that was World War I. It is arguably an even stronger anti-war film than Saving Private Ryan because it does not attempt to explain (and thus justify) the wanton slaughter. I don't think I have to explain the inherent pessimism and darkness of Munich (which on a given day is probably my favorite Spielberg film, natch).
That does not mean that Spielberg is incapable of genuinely 'light' mainstream entertainment. He is still the man who made Hook, The Terminal, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Catch Me If You Can, and The Adventures of Tintin. But even some of his 'lighter' entertainments have dark undercurrents. Minority Report is an exciting and intelligent science-fiction thriller, yet there is ample reason to believe that it's inexplicably upbeat finale is itself a hallucination. Yes everyone whines about the allegedly 'happy' ending in the otherwise relentlessly bleak (and often brilliant) AI: Artificial Intelligence, but what exactly is so happy about a machine being given the gift of hearing the lie that he has spent his life wanting to hear before he can die? Even his two Jurassic Park pictures promise 'wonder and awe' but in the end deliver terror and death. The flawed-but-morally complex The Lost World
What's ironic is that the films that most closely skew toward the 'stereotypical' Spielberg film are not among those he directed, but rather among the many films he has produced. The Goonies, Back to the Future, An American Tail, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Men In Black, The Mask of Zorro, Transformers; these audience-pleasing mainstream entertainments, most of them quite good, were all among films he produced, but he did not direct any of them. Doubly-ironic is that the one iconic 1980s film that he produced but is long-suspected of directing, Tobe Hopper's Poltergeist, fits far more into the wheelhouse of Spielberg's darker entertainments. Steven Spielberg is a man who has dabbled in many genres, but his critical reputation is based less on the body of work he has directed but rather simplistic misconceptions based on a single

Screw Dennis Miller, I must Rant
January 29, 2009
I don't think I've ever been more flabbergasted with what I've seen on television, as I have been this week. I watched both RAW and TNA this week and left both shows completely shaking my head. If I were to shake my head any harder I'd probably end up with a worse neck than Kurt Angle.

The topic for this month's APLS Blog Carnival is Education. I chose this topic because I tend to think of education as a part of daily life. I am always learning, and I was interested to see where all the inspirational APLS bloggers get their understanding of sustainable living and how they share it with others. I was so happy to read through the submissions and see everyone's take on learning about sustainability. Please take the time to read through them all, and I promise you'll enjoy them!
Daphne, who blogs at Daphne's Dandelions, takes a break from her usual topic of gardening to post about how she educates herself on sustainability in unexpected places, like Science Fiction conventions. At home, she plays the role of the "Green Nag" in her family in order to make sure things are done as sustainably as possible. She'll also educate strangers, but only when asked.
Katie from A Green Fire writes about how she first learned about sustainable, frugal, green living from her family, and then as an adult out of the necessity to be frugal. She also talks about how much she learns doing research to write her blog posts, and shares it with her family and readers.
Green Bean writes about educating others through her Victory Garden. As she says, "Grab a shovel and start spreading the word!"
Laura, the Fearless Chef describes the importance of food in living the sustainable lifestyle: "The simplest, most effective way to teach people about sustainable food sources is to feed them.
As Beth at Fake Plastic Fish writes, "Sitting hour upon hour in front of the computer, I crave the 'classroom' of the natural world. What are some ways to learn about what's 'real'?" Read her post and see what she comes up with.
Robbie at Going Green Mama writes about life lessons she's learned in the process of going green. My favorite is "Grandma's ways sometimes worked."
Tina at crstn85 writes about her "education overload" and how she loves to share her environmental enthusiasm with others.
Healther at Simple-Green-Frugal describes her education as read, read, read, be fearless, and live the life. Sharing her jams and inspiring others to get out and walk are a few examples of how Heather spreads the sustainable message.
Ruchi at Arduous Blog writes about her experiences continuing her education in London, and how she appreciates learning so much more now that she's grown up.
Bobbi at To Live Local describes how she puts her love of words into actions, both in her community and in her own family.
Ruth, who blogs at Musings of an Everyday Woman and also happens to be my mom, writes about how our visit to the Island School changed her views on sustainability, and how she's made changes since returning home.
Stephanie at Sunbeam Soapbox writes about the huge amount of information available and how we all need to work together to learn it, because it may just be too much for one person to do it all.
Joyce at Tall Grass Worship gives credit to all the green bloggers out there spreading the sustainability message, even though she may not agree with most of their political views. She also acts as a sustainable role model.
Finally, if you want an Environmental Science teacher's take on her own education in sustainable living and how she passes it on to her students and others, you can read my post here at Farmer's Daughter.
Thanks so much for participating this month by contributing to the carnival or reading these wonderful posts! Here's to lifelong learning!
Don't forget to check out the APLS Blog soon for the upcoming November Carnival topic. The November APLS Carnival will be hosted by Eco 'Burban Mom.
The debate rages on over whether to change the "Affluent Persons Living Sustainably" acronym. Do you think we should keep it or change it to one of the other names suggested? Head on over to the APLS Blog to cast your vote.
