► Generation of a transgenic mouse line that lacks Bassoon ► Normal basal transmission at mossy fiber to granule cell synapses in Bassoon mutants ► Enhanced synaptic depression within milliseconds during high-frequency transmission ► Halved rate of vesicle reloading at active zones in Bassoon knockout mice
Sustained rate-coded signals encode many types of sensory modalities. Some sensory synapses possess specialized ribbon structures, which tether vesicles, to enable high-frequency signaling. However, central synapses lack these structures, yet some can maintain signaling over a wide bandwidth. To analyze the underlying molecular mechanisms, we investigated the function of the active zone core component Bassoon in cerebellar mossy fiber to granule cell synapses. We show that short-term synaptic depression is enhanced in Bassoon knockout mice during sustained high-frequency trains but basal synaptic transmission is unaffected. Fluctuation and quantal analysis as well as quantification with constrained short-term plasticity models revealed that the vesicle reloading rate was halved in the absence of Bassoon. Thus, our data show that the cytomatrix protein Bassoon speeds the reloading of vesicles to release sites at a central excitatory synapse.

Many of us have made New Year's resolutions – promises to lose weight, eat better, stop crying at diaper commercials – as a way to better ourselves in 2012. Something at the top of my list is to seek out and find – once and for all – the very best doughnut in Los Angeles. You might think this is a silly, shallow pursuit but think about it: With some saying that the world will end in December 2012, wouldn't you like to go out with a nice, warm jelly-filled in your hand? I thought so.
Here are five doughnut shops that are rumored to have the best in Los Angeles. I intend to try them all and report back to you. You're welcome to join me, but don't blame me if it just kills every other resolution on your list.
1) Nickel Diner: Their Maple Bacon Donut has apparently caused several of my seemingly-reasonable friends to drive miles out of their way for this pastry marvel, so I'm guessing it must be good. Either that or my friends are insane. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, though, and make a trip downtown to pick one up. The diner also has a full breakfast menu, so I can always order some eggs to hide the fact that I drove all the way downtown just for some fried dough.
2) Stan's Donuts: Owner Stan Berman has been operating his Westwood Village storefront for over 48 years, making doughnuts using the original equipment. People get absolutely sappy talking about his Peanut Butter Donuts, and legend has it this was where Steve McQueen stopped for his favorite – a classic glazed twist.
3) Randy's Donuts: You've probably seen them if you've ever taken the 405 to the airport in Los Angeles – they're the shop with the gargantuan doughnut up on top. I've lived in L.A. all my life, have driven by this place a million times and have never stopped by, so now I consider it an obligation to check it out. Besides being a great photo-op, Randy's is known for their Crumb-Cake Donut as well as for their freshly baked croissants.
4) Te'kila Hollywood: Okay, this place is known for the churros, which is technically not exactly a doughnut but when you're talking about fried dough who's going to argue about semantics? I ate at this tiny, Hollywood Boulevard eatery for the first time a couple of months ago and it was only afterwards that I started hearing that their churros were to die for. So I'll be making a trip back and taking my churro experts – my two teenagers – to give it the thumbs up or down. While they're deciding I might just augment my research with one of Te'kila's excellent margaritas.
5) K's Donut Emporium: Another place that I've driven by many times but have never stopped, K's has an odd distinction: People rave about their hamburgers as much as they do about their doughnuts. Not sure how that's possible, but I'm going to play along and order both, seeing as when two of my favorite things in the world are vying for my attention I'm not going to neglect one of them. As far as doughnuts go, K's fans rave about their Maple Bars and Apple Fritters. Figuring out which one goes well with a cheeseburger will be the tricky part.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
This week on the Black Man With A Gun Show, Kenn will be talking about:
- Max Michel with some shooting tips
- Hunting Season
- Duck Dynasty with Barbara Baird
- Pop Culture: Comic cons
- News:
- Shots fired
- ITI training
- Podcasting awards
- Maryland Qualification License
- The Importance of Relationships
I got the opportunity to interview Max Michel, Jr., champion competitive shooter, firearms instructor and television personality. Max shared with me how he got to where he is along with three fantastic shooting tips.
Here are his three tips:
(1) He said the first tip was the basic fundamentals of speed shooting, which are stance, grip, and sight picture (flash sight picture -5 yds., 5-9 yds, floating sight picture, 8 and beyond focus sight picture
(2) The next was to make training plan-work on what you are bad at for 70% of the time.
(3) And not to forget "dry fire"
For more information about Max Michel, Jr., please visit www.maxmichel.com. To learn about training opportunities with Max Michel, Jr., please visit www.maxmicheltraining.com.
Barbara Baird from WomensOutdoornews.com and Realtree, talks about a book from the Duck Commander, Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty.
Hunting season begins this month (October) for the archers in Maryland. Fall is officially here. It is beautiful with the leaves changing and the cooler temperatures here. All of my hunting buddies have already begun repairing and setting stands and blinds. Some have recon the deer trails, put down feed cord and starting to see what they might need before muzzleloader season begins.
New shooters might want to check out www.huntercourse.com for hunter education. They are out of Alabama. Speaking of Alabama, I got some new folks I want to shout out to, with a company at Deep Creek Cover Scent. www.dccoverscent.com

They make handmade cover scent soap bars, scented hair, body wash, scented field sprays, and scented body cover sprays. Check out DCcoverscent and huntercourse.com and let me know what you think.
I was coaching a person today at the indoor range near the NSA, and found out some shocking truths about the new Maryland Gun Laws. The Gun Registration is here.

I started podcasting in 2007 because I wanted to talk to a bigger audience than I could reach with a dinner or conference. It has been an exciting journey that has allowed me to meet great people and talk to thousands of people. What I learned is that my success has all been based on relationships. You can hear the details on this show.

The Most Corporate-Friendly Health Care System $876 Million Could Buy |

Obama Deals Stunning Blow to Bank Subsidies on Student Loans, and Sallie Mae Stock Soars |
By: Jane Hamsher Tuesday March 30, 2010 11:33 am |
When President Obama signed the Student Lending and Fiscal Responsibility Act today, it dealt an enormous blow to Wall Street banks. He deserves huge props for that. I'm not sure people know how big a victory it was. Sallie Mae spent $3 million on lobbyists last year, and got none of what they wanted. Zero, [...]

Student Lending and the Myth of "35,000 Lost Jobs" |
By: Jane Hamsher Tuesday March 9, 2010 11:39 am |
Student loan lobbyists have been distributing a memo around Capitol Hill, with the misleading claim that if the FFEL program is eliminated in favor of direct lending, all of these jobs in the industry will be lost.
The bottom line: job losses in a tough economy are nothing to treat lightly, but the claims made by lobbyists don't hold to close scrutiny, and the jobs impact must be weighed against the number of students currently enrolled in each state if money that could be going to schools is instead propping up a costly and unnecessary industry that is surviving only because of government subsidy.

FFEL: $80 Billion Wasted on Crony Capitalism |
By: Jon Walker Friday February 5, 2010 5:53 pm |
President Obama has proposed ending one of the more wasteful crony capitalism programs currently funded by the federal government.

Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. The other [...]
Obama Leads the Way on Lobbyist Transparency |

To Congressional Staffers: Hire Yourselves Some Help And Give Yourselves A Raise |
By: Jon Walker Tuesday December 1, 2009 12:14 pm |
Lobbyists run Washington, DC. One part of the problem is that money is the mother's milk of politics in this country, and politicians need to spend half their day fund raising. The other big problem is that there is no one in town besides lobbyists capable of running Washington. Congressional offices are dangerously understaffed and [...]
How is Newt Gingrich Not a Lobbyist? |
By: Jane Hamsher Friday November 27, 2009 10:31 am |
I'm certain there are people who have thought about this a great deal, but "do you or an organization you work for stand to profit as a result of the actions of this panel" seems a more effective threshold for participation in federal advisory boards.
Because the definition of "lobbyist" seems a bit too flexible to prohibit the biggest of the professional influence peddlers.
Is The White House Drafting Secret Bill Without a Public Option? |
By: Jane Hamsher Thursday October 1, 2009 9:38 am |
While they may or may not be writing their own bill, they need to reassure health care industry stake holders that those deals will be honored in the final bill, even if Baucus can't get them through is committee. Because the last thing the White House needs right now is stakeholders leaking embarrassing documents because they're getting hinky at the thought that their deals might go south.

Charges filed in Ebony Jackson murder
Police say that he and Jackson had reconnected recently. While Jackson and was running a bath at Proudie's apartment, police say the 40 year old shot Jackson in the head. Proudie then allegedly took her body and stuffed it in the trunk of her car.
Police found Jackson's son abandoned in the hallway of a Breckenridge Hills apartment complex on January 4 and Jackson's body on January 8.
Proudie has previous convictions in 1990 for Burglary and 1992 for Assault in the 2nd Degree. He was also on probation for multiple offenses in 2012.
No word on if Prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
UPDATE: Ebony Jackson murder suspect in custody
Investigators believe Jackson was killed in the suspect's north city home, not far from where her body was found stuffed in the trunk of her own car. The paper reports that the suspect's current girlfriend lives in the apartment building where Jackson's baby was found.

As we all know the significance of January 12, 2011 marked the anniversary date of the devistating earthquake that hit Haiti last year so I thought it was dope that Melky Jean, who is a sister of Wyclef Jean, made a video for the official single off the CARE for Haiti charity album. The song is entitled "Better" and the visual for this song is heart touching. It shows the direction we have taken since the earthquake, change, and how everything will get better.

ZahZarah stepped out into the scene as Erykah Badu's backup singer in 2000 where she then signed to Keo Music Records and released her debut album "Here Me" in 2001 and her second one "Blackstar" in 2003. I'll just press fast forward and say that ever since joining The Foreign Exchange music she has been rockin'. ZahZarah finally released her visual for "Cry Over You" with a feature from Phonte of Little Brother/The Foreign Exchange…and I absolutely love it! The song sounds happy and the video matches it with a girls day out of shopping, cruising the streets, and just feeling free again. I like it because she says "It feels like I'm right back where I started again" and in the video you can tell her start is not laying in bed crying and depressed over a man. LOL

A Huge Step Forward |
Sep 05 2010 |
... | |
Something life changing happened today. So many times events like this masquerade as ordinary moments. I was talking with a new friend that happens to have the same name as the first boy I fell in love with. It got me thinking and wondering what he was doing in his life. I met him when I was 19 years old and he got my heart and everything else I could give a man. ..and then it was over...like the next week. I was devastated and began to form my understanding of what men are like from that relationship. My dad died when I was five so I didn't have much knowledge of the masculine psyche. I was raised by a woman who was very bitter towards men. So with a devastating first romantic experience and all the factors involved, I became very mistrusting of men and bitter towards my ex boyfriend.
Well on a whim last nite, I googled him and found his facebook page. Wow. We are getting old. I saw a little of the boy I knew there. Then I really put myself on shaky ground and I messaged him reintroducing myself (incase he forgot) and asked about his folks and family. I loved his dad. They are the quintessential Italian family. You come in after a date and you have to sit down at the kitchen table and talk to dad while mama made u eat. And there was wine at every meal. And his dad called me "chicken", an Italian term of affection. It was always warm at his house. He had 4 brothers and sisters and they are all close relationally to this day. Looking back I realize his folks gave me my first experience of what a loving family looks like. His dad was always on his case about becoming a lawyer....he wanted to open a restaurant. His dad won on that one. To be honest, I'm not sure if I was dating him or his family!
Wasn't sure if he would write me back. He sent me three emails today. He's got four wonderful kids all over the age of 20....they're older than we were when we dated. And of course he was blown away by my 10 kids...wants a picture for proof! He didn't remember the lobster that attacked him the Friday nite we decided to cook 2 in his dorm room...how can you forget something as hysterical as that! It kept jumping out of the pot, snapping at him with claws And having my first beer at Hay Market. And the Jesuit priest that always showed up at the keg parties to shut them down....but stayed until the end and helped clean up. What a cool priest.
And surprize,the man did remember me ... and here all these years I have felt pretty darn forgettable.
I realized thru this incident that all these years, I have been trying to prove my worth as a woman. And I felt this vague feeling come up as we spoke,that I have to prove to him that I'm a worthy woman now, and I felt like he was critiquing my value during the conversation ...all these years I've been superimposing his opinion on my relationships with men. As we left messages in each others box, it dawned on me that moment by moment I was no longer feeling like a devastated naïve 19 year old anymore. He seemed pretty shallow. And somehow I was able to put that toxic relationship in perspective and realized that we were very young and totally clueless about how to value and respect another person in a relationship. It was more about juvenile relating and not about me. He at least hinted that he had been a jerk. Anyway I walked away from that exchange feeling free from this nagging insecurity I've had all these years. Wow, what a wonderful feeling. It's so good to finally come out of the humiliation and put all that to rest. Now I get to live the rest of my life from a more positive view of men. You all aren't him, guys...and I finally get it. Thank God.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Ulster County officials on Tuesday released documents they said were ignored by the state Department of Environmental Conservation in approving a permit allowing turbid water to be released from the Ashokan Reservoir into the Lower Esopus Creek.
County Attorney Bea Havranek, in written comments to the state agency, said New York City has withheld information about problems caused by the release of hundreds of million of gallons of muddy water daily between October and February during the past two years.
"Since neither the (New York City Department of Environmental Protection) or DEC included the county of Ulster or any of the affected parties in its negotiations ... it can only be assumed that the property damage issues were never addressed, notwithstanding the significant amount of information the DEP possessed regarding both public and private property issues," she wrote.
In October 2010, the city began releasing turbid water from the Ashokan Reservoir with verbal permission from the state agency, and in October 2011, it was given a permit for the releases. State officials said sending the turbid water into the Lower Esopus Creek was a permissible alternative to piping it to the Kensico Reservoir in Westchester County, where� alum, a chemical settling agent, previously was used to separate solids from the water.
"It is appalling that the damages to Ulster County, our residents, our environment and economy have been disregarded and what has taken place (are) closed-door meetings between the state Department of Environmental Conservation and New York City Department of Environmental Protection," County Executive Michael Hein said.
Havranek said damage from 2010-11 was documented in 594 pages and photographs from surveys of property owners between April 12 and June 23, 2011.
"A reading of the proposed order on consent reveals no mention whatsoever of any consideration being given to damage by the DEC and DEP," she said.
"The damages caused by the city of New York and the DEP have been ongoing and continue," Havranek said. "Those damages include, among other things, erosion of stream banks, septic failures, duck and stream access damages, structural damages debris removal damages, and other miscellaneous damages. The proposed order on consent contains nothing that addresses these damages or the monetary costs associated with those damages as suffered by property owners."
Ulster County Letter to NYS DEC Re Turbidity
County officials also want the city to stop blaming last summer's Tropical Storms Irene and Lee for damage along the Lower Esopus.
"This took place prior to the arrival of Hurricane Irene in Ulster County on August 28, 2011," Havranek said. "As such, the evidence collected in regards to property damage cannot and should not be attributed to that hurricane or to Tropical Storm Lee, the latter of which occurred in early September of 2011."
Under the consent order, the city will be required to pay $500,000 into an escrow fund, of which $100,000 will be returned if a Delaware Aqueduct repair application is filed by Dec. 1. Another $100,000 will be returned if the connection between the Delaware and Catskill aqueducts is completed by Dec. 31, 2016; and $300,000 will be returned if dredging of the Kensico Reservoir is completed by June 1, 2024.
Other scheduled payments in the consent order include $60,000 for the Ashokan Releases Working Group to hire an environmental consultant (but not use that person's information in litigation against the city); $10,000 for fish stocking in the Lower Esopus; and $530,0000 toward developing and implementing a Lower Esopus management plan.
County officials contend the amounts are far from enough and asked that an inventory of problems be conducted. Havranek asked that the city be required "to actively outreach to all property owners abutting the Lower Esopus Creek and/or are adjacent or near the Lower Esopus Creek ... for the purpose of assessing their damages."
Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland, in a May press release, said the permit was developed by "working diligently with watershed communities" and was intended to address concerns about turbidity.

Algeria Telecom gets Serious about FTTH
30 Sep
Last year Algeria Telecom announced that they were launching a small-scale FTTH pilot program in one of the suburbs of Algiers. The main stated reason was responding to a willingness by local governments of eliminating satellite dishes that ruin the view. That may sound odd to people who live in countries where most of the habitat is single homes, but having been to Algiers a couple of times in the early 2000s I believe it's not quite as anecdotal as it sounds.
Having said that, I believe that AT uses this as an argument to get municipal backing, but the real driver is for them to sell IPTV and eat into the revenue flows of the satellite distributors. The pilot was considered successful, and Algeria Telecom announced a couple of weeks back (link in French) that they were deploying a slightly larger operation in Medea with 2000 homes connected. More importantly, Algeria Telecom announced that their FTTH footprint would expand to 250.000 homes by the end of 2011.
Again, in comparison with large-scale deployments in North America or Asia, this may seem very small indeed, but it's worth remembering that there are only 3.2 million active wireline phone lines in Algeria (World Factbook, 2008), so what we are really talking about here is the upgrade of close to 1/10th of the wireline network.
It's worth keeping in mind that while there isn't significant competition on the wireline side in Algeria, competition in wireless is fierce, and Algeria Telecom is not the dominant player in that market. According to the article above, AT is starting to see copper disconnects, so delivering more through the wireline is also a way of staying afloat in their historical market.
Exciting to see a growing number of emerging countries seriously moving in the fiber direction.

No Offer
Positive Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Brigham and Women's Hospital in July 2013.
Interview Details Submit application online, and then in-person interview.
Interview Question – No really any. The interviewer asked a lot about why I decided to do research in his field rather than my original area. They are very related, and I personally did not even see that as a departure from my original area. Answer Question
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Brigham and Women's Hospital in April 2013.
Interview Details I submitted my application via the online Brigham and Women's Hospital and Partners Health system. You can look at all your previously submitted applications but there is no where to follow up on your application. That is the real downside to this system. I suppose they get a large number of applicant and could not deal with the call volume, but it definitely makes the waiting game much more stressful. I was then called to schedule a first interview with some of the research staff. After that I was called back to meet with the study PI. I then continued with HR to give references and heard back from them with the offer about 3 weeks after my initial interview.
Interview Question – I didn't get any curve balls in this interview Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There wasn't much of a negotiation phase. The offer was on par with many other RA 1 jobs so I just took it.
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Brigham and Women's Hospital in February 2013.
Interview Details
I applied for a different position online and was contacted by phone by the project manager. She mentioned the position I had no interest in as well as the RA position. We had a brief phone screen and then planned a 1:1 interview a week later. After that, I came in for a second in-person interview. Each interview went over the project extensively, and I was able to meet with the other research assistants to get a feel for the job. They seemed overworked and like they needed another RA.
The office environment was relaxed, with the dress code ranging from jeans to business casual. Apparently the wait list for a parking spot is years long, but the office itself is literally steps away from the green line. It seems like a very work-oriented office, not obnoxiously relaxed but not super high-stress, either. They were hiring to ease up the workload and had a very keen sense of what needed to get done and when.
Interview Question – Pretty easy interview, nothing stood out as difficult. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – You have to put in a salary requirement in the online application phase. The salary I was offered was notably higher than what I had requested, so I didn't bother negotiating. Also - great benefits, especially the 50% off MBTA passes.
Would you like us to review something? Please describe the problem with this {0} and we will look into it.
Sorry, but your feedback didn't make it to the team. Your input is valuable to us – would you mind trying again?
The difficulty rating is the average interview difficulty rating across all interview candidates.
The interview experience is the percentage of all interview candidates who said that their interview experience was positive, neutral or negative.
Your response will be removed from the review – this cannot be undone.

I Recently took my Western Mountaineering UltraLite 20 degree bag on an early season AT thru-hike. I combined it with a silk liner and slept comfortablly with tempature droping into the teens. When tempatures dropped into the singles and below zero I had to add my space blanket to the mix. It compressed very nice and quickly regained it loft once out of my pack. The full zipper allowed me to use it as a quilt when tempatures warmed up, and the mummy style allowed me to cinche up and trap body heat when it got cold.
The Western Mountaineering UltraLite 20 degree is one of the best bags out there...!!!!

I don't use a compression bag for my sleeping bag when I hike. This allows me to pack more efficiently and once out of my pack my bag seems to regain it loft quicker. It also saves a little bit of weight...

By Guest Blogger: Kelvin Claveria, Blogger at KCCLAVERIA.COM
A picture is worth a thousand words, but in social media, not all images are created equal.
A couple of weeks ago, I attended NetSquared Camp Vancouver, an unconference that brings together social media users and web innovators with social change makers and nonprofits to swap stories, mix ideas, and build new relationships. The purpose of the highly successful event was to empower non-profits with emerging tools, trends, and best practices, allowing them to fulfill their mission statements in new and innovative ways.
Although I've taken away many insights from the event, what struck me most was the session titled "How NGOs win on Facebook". The folks at Capulet Communications looked at thousands of posts from a number of big non-profits to answer two questions:
-What kind of content earns the most likes, comments and shares?
-Which organizations are killing it on Facebook?
Some of their findings are not really surprising. For instance, they found that that photos and videos tend to get the most engagement. They also found that non-profits that are less self-promotional tend to find success on Facebook.
Where the study got interesting, however, is when they dug in deeper and looked at the most "engaging" photos to see why those images received the most likes, shares, and comments.
When people talk about photos in social media, they tend to talk about the technical stuff: rule of thirds, composition, balance, etc. But when it comes to getting people engaged, a technically superb photo isn't sufficient.
Based on the top photos from Capulet's Facebook study, here are four tips that you should consider when selecting images to share on social media.
Use photos to get your audience to react emotionally. Get them disgusted over an environmental issue. Or perhaps use an image that will get them excited over a news story about your organization. Make them happy with cute photos of babies, or perhaps make them depressed with striking images of famine or war.
Emotions are powerful, and an image is the perfect tool to get people to feel.
All the photos that got a high engagement in the study were interesting.
Of course, what qualifies as "interesting" is subjective, but I think you'll know that a photo is interesting when you see one.
To make the mundane more interesting, I suggest experimenting – a lot. For example, try shooting from a different angle. You can also try zooming in or out to catch a different view. More importantly though, keep your eyes open for anything in your organization that might seem boring and "normal" to you but may actually fascinate an outsider looking in.
Photo credit: Surfrider.org
This was certainly a surprise for me. As it turns out, adding text over photos do work. The Surfrider example above would have worked okay if it just had the image, but adding the text "What goes in the ocean, goes in you" made the message clearer and drove home the point.
I don't see many organizations doing this yet, but if you do, make the message concise. Also, keep the formatting simple and clean. You wouldn't want the message to ruin your photo.
Images that are relevant to specific events — e.g. Valentine's Day — received a lot of likes and comments. Organizations that took advantage of memes (e.g. the "S—t girls say" meme) also saw more engagement on Facebook.
Keep your eyes peeled for timely events and discussions where your organization or business might be able to contribute.
With the growing popularity of Pinterest and with cell phones' cameras continuing to improve, we can only assume thatphotos will remain an important part of the social media culture. Consider the tips here to make sure that your photos stand out and that they tell your organization's stories well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I start to learn about Riverwood?
Several times a year we offer a three-week class called Discover Riverwood. This is a great place to start to learn about the history, beliefs, structure, and priorities of Riverwood.
How does Riverwood do baptism?
Baptism is an act of obedience and submission to the command of Christ. It is also a wonderful way of showing the world we identify with Christ. Through the act of baptism, we join in and identify with Christ's death, burial and resurrection. The Bible states that we should first "make disciples" and then baptize them, which is clear that a person should repent and believe before being baptized. This also explains why we do not baptize infants. At Riverwood, we encourage children to wait to be baptized until they can develop a deeper understanding of what it means to publicly proclaim their faith. The word "baptism" comes from the Greek which means "to dip in and under water." Baptism by immersion depicts our position with Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
How can I get baptized at Riverwood?
To sign-up for our next baptism, follow this link.
How do I become a member of Riverwood?
To become a member of Riverwood you must complete the three week Discover Riverwood class followed by a one week membership extension.
If you have completed a Discover Riverwood course previously, but did not take the one week extension, you do not need to retake the Discover Riverwood Course, you may become a member by completing just the one week extension.
Baby dedication and/or baptism?
Riverwood does not practice infant/baby baptism. For our reasons behind this and what we see as the role of baptism see the FAQ above regarding baptism.
Baby dedication is based on the Old Testament example found in Samuel 1:11. In the New Testament, Mary and Joseph went to the temple to dedicate Jesus.
Dedication does not mean that the child is a Christian, for (s)he is too young to place faith in Christ. The child is not necessarily blessed in any way with special grace, and is still responsible for responding to God's Word and God's Son. It means that the parents will be totally committed to their own spiritual growth as well as raising their child in a healthy Christian environment.
How can I get my baby dedicated at Riverwood?
To sign-up for the next baby dedication please follow this link.
What are Life Groups and how do I join one?
A Life Group is made up of 10 - 20 people meeting at least twice a month or every other week. A typical Life Group meeting includes Bible study, prayer and shared lives. While the central focus is Christ and God's Word, this is accomplished in the context of shared lives. Therefore each Life Group has a social, relational, fellowshipping atmosphere as well.
Can I get married at Riverwood?
Couples interested in getting married at Riverwood must give at least seven months advance notice and participate in premarital counseling and mentoring prior to the wedding date.
Genesis 12:3

NORRISTOWN — After a six-hour roof-top standoff Thursday, police took a Norristown man into custody in connection with Wednesday's theft of a Plymouth ambulance.
Police arrived at the 300 block of East Penn Street at approximately 6:30 a.m. while investigating the theft. Upon their arrival, the suspect, Carlos Bouie, 39, reportedly fled to the roof of his home through a second-floor window. From there, police said, he went over to a neighbor's roof and refused to come down.
"He placed himself in such a position that it was very dangerous for police officers to make any attempt to go up and get him," said Chief Russell Bono. "I was very concerned about sending officers on that roof."
Eventually, police did go onto the roof to speak to Bouie, who is known to police and has a criminal history, according to Bono. Once on the roof, officers attempted to negotiate a peaceful surrender with Bouie, to no avail.
From there, Montgomery County Emergency Services were called in and took over the negotiations under the lead of Community Outreach/Criminal Justice Director Don Kline.
After a standoff of more than six hours, Bouie finally relented and came down from the roof following the arrival of his sister.
"He came down at about 12:45 p.m. after his sister arrived on the scene with a sandwich and doughnut for him. He came down to eat," said Bono. "He was taken into custody immediately and transported to Building Fifty for evaluation."
A warrant was signed by a judge and charges for the ambulance theft were filed Thursday afternoon shortly after the standoff.
"(After the warrant was signed), we will drop a detainer on him if he is going to be kept at Building Fifty for a while due to his mental condition and he will be arrested when he is discharged," said Bono.
The ambulance theft that police were investigating occurred on Wednesday evening in front of the Department of Public Welfare, where paramedics had been called for a seizure patient. While paramedics were helping the patient, the suspect entered the ambulance and drove off. The ambulance was later recovered on Tremont Avenue.
"I'm glad he finally relented," said Bono. "I'd also like to thank the Montgomery County Emergency Services and the police department for showing excellent restraint today."

Milan has left us feeling a little bit like federal financial regulators, perplexed (possibly under qualified) and wondering why all this supposed transparency never reveals much. But we pun a bit too much we fear. In Karl Lagerfeld's case this transparency that is and is not revealing has the possible unintended consequence of giving a great deal of sweetness to Fendi Spring 2009. Fendi's cut outs and hints at transparency never quite reveal what is going on underneath. A tantalizing prospect for fashion certainly, less so for federal regulators we suppose.
Precious white doilies dresses freshened with must own belts, wrap around roses, and sheer puffy possibilities all contributed to a collection that made us feel as if we had seen a lot more than we did. We guess we know how Secretary Paulson feels now.

Caring for Black and Red Hair Dye Shades
By Jody Morse
Color-treated hair can be very pretty, but it can also look brassy or lose its brilliance over time. Luckily, there are a number of things that you can do to prevent this from happening. By following these hair color maintenance tips, you can keep black and red hair dye shades looking vibrant and beautiful.
Use Anti-Fade Products for Red Hair
Some products for color-treated hair help to keep it hydrated and healthy-looking. Other shampoos and conditioners prevent hair color from fading because they do not contain certain chemicals which can strip away hair color, such as sulfates, phosphates, and parabens. Some hair colors need these products more than others. Red hair, in particular, is known to be the most prone to fading. Consider using an anti-fade shampoo, such as Pureology Anti-Fade Complex Pure Volume Shampoo, $18.95, at Amazon.com, to keep your color looking fresh.
Choosing Products for Black Hair Color
While it's ideal to use anti-fade products for both black and red hair dye, black color requires extra care. The sun's rays and even a few washes can drastically make black hair look less brilliant. This can result in shades of dark brown or even gray. To make sure that your hair color continues to look vibrant, consider a product which deposits added color into your hair to bring out black hues. Aveda's Black Malva Shampoo, $29.00, at Amazon.com, is a popular color depositing shampoo among those with black hair. Note that this product isn't suitable for those with multiple colors, as it can darken shades of blonde and red.
Reduce Frizz to Keep Color-Treated Hair Beautiful
Color-treated hair is already fragile. To prevent frizz, it's important to take extra steps to keep the hair looking healthy. It's best to lay off the flat iron, curling iron, and blow dryer to cut the risk of hair damage due to heat. Also consider using a deep conditioner once a week to make sure that the hair remains moisturized. Make sure that it's a color-safe conditioner, such as Joico K-Pak Reconstruct Conditioner, $13.90, at Amazon.com.
Black and red hair dye shades can seem difficult to take care of at first. Whether you're sporting a shade of midnight black or auburn, it's important to put some thought into what products you're using. Choosing the right products and reducing heat damage can help make sure that your color-treated locks look beautiful until your next dye session.

"There will be a new climatology that is like a permanent drought," says Ting. "It really is a severe problem in terms of managing water resources." Tapio Schneider, an assistant professor of environmental science and engineering at Caltech, points out that these findings and projections are consistent across all subtropical regions, such as in Australia, which is also suffering from droughtlike conditions. He also notes that water issues are already being addressed. "There are people in government that are worrying about this," he says, "and have been worrying about this for awhile."
Just last week, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reiterated his proposal that his state set aside $5.9 billion to better manage its water resources. "Water infrastructure is no different than when we talk about transportation infrastructure or the infrastructure in our building more schools," he said at a press conference. "As we see an increase in population we must build more. We must build more roads, we must build more schools and we must build more above-the-ground water storage."

A Computer For Digital Photography
In the 80's when personal computers began to be common all they had was a keyboard and a monochrome display that reproduced text and numbers. During the same period Apple computers were used to begin the desktop publishing revolution, probably the first popular use of computers for graphic purposes. Today with computers reproducing all kinds of media and being used as a communications and entertainment device, a computer's original function and an understanding of how they worked has been lost to all but the few who used computers over a generation ago. We all take them for granted. One of the earliest and most common uses of a PC was to run a cash register in a store.
Today when a photographer begins shopping for a computer there aren't any that are designated as digital photography models. Nearly all personal computer today can deal with photographic images to some middling effect, and none are attributed with any special photographic abilities. Maybe that is just as well because a photographer shopping for a computer maybe should be looking for the one key part of a computer system that is "graphic", and that is its display. LCD displays that are designed and made for graphics computing are few, rare and relatively expensive models.
So, a photographer looking for a computer to do digital photography should first select the best graphics LCD display that can be afforded, and it may cost more than you need to pay for the rest of the computer system. Then get a personal computer to run the display. It can be quite modest because digital photography processing and editing involves very little "computing" because photos are not the result of a calculation. The only factors in the computer that are important to photography are a good quality 2D video (card), and the addition of as much RAM as can be afforded.
This may sound like a radical idea from a computer geek's perspective, but it works for me and many other photographers. What few people realize is that there are hundreds of millions of computers used in offices, institutions and now most homes have a computer or two. But the number of people who are serious digital photography users can be counted in the thousands. That is a radically small part of the computer market, too small to even be considered a niche market. There aren't any computers made especially for digital photography, so do it yourself.
Which LCD displays should a photographer shop for. Well I have written about the few I can recommend in past articles in Shutterbug, as well as mentioned in my Digital Help column and this blog. But I am currently considering adding another make and model, but also dropping one model from my list. So keep tuned in, that update will appear soon.
This is really a nice and informative, containing all information and also has a great impact on the new technology. Thanks for sharing it,

Usually a successful website has only a few typefaces which are of a similar style, instead of using a range of typefaces. Preferably a website should use sans serif or serif typefaces, not a combination of the two. Typography in websites should also be careful the amount of typefaces used, good design will incorporate a few similar typefaces rather than a range of type faces. Thanks.
