Yesterday I was driving along listening to "The Story" on National Public Radio, a program hosted by Dick Gordon. Gordon interviews "everyday people" who have experienced something interesting to share. Yesterday, Gordon talked with Stephen Faser, an Internet marketing pro-turned-fabric printer from North Carolina. Faser and his wife started creating their own fabrics to make textile items for their family, which soon blossomed into their custom printing company, Spoonflower.
The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday night. Each year I get excited for
this one awards show dedicated to television, and every year I forget how
boring and predictable it usually is.
First off, there is no booze served at the Emmys (unlike
the drink-friendly Golden Globes which honor TV and film), and that just puts a
damper on everything. Pre-show red carpet interviews have to be one of the most
uncomfortable interactions ever (I swear one E! douche bag actually said, "I don't really
care, 'cause we're dudes, but it's my thing tonight — Who are you wearing?"
Gag.) — stars need some hooch to make it all OK.
Then there are the clear academy favorites that are continually nominated year after year for no apparent reason — Can't we all agree Big Bang Theory lacks any real humor or geek cred? But I suffer through the Emmys just in case there's a redeeming wardrobe malfunction or surprise winner.
Raise your hand if you're tired of faux nerdery!
Jimmy Kimmel made an entertaining host, playfully poking fun at various celebs and, in a particularly funny bit, showed an "In Memoriam" video of himself, stating that we shouldn't wait until stars are dead to remember their work.
The big winners of the night were Showtime's drama series Homeland, the HBO movie Game Change and ABC's Modern Family (one of those perpetual comedy winners).
Fashion trends for the night (and fall in general) included bold solids and metallics, but I always find it interesting just a few stars sport very similar, striking looks. This year it was apparently good luck to mimic the award statue — all dressed in yellow, Julianne Moore (Game Change), Julie Bowen (Modern Family) and a pregnant Claire Danes (Homeland) each walked away with a golden lady for their respective leading performances.
The good: Tracy Morgan faked a medical issue to generate buzz, Amy Poehler and Julia Louie-Dreyfus "accidentally" swapped acceptance speeches and Jon Stewart kept censors on their toes during his acceptance speech on behalf of The Daily Show (which makes 10 wins in a row for the show). I was happy to see Jessica Lange honored as best supporting actress in a miniseries/movie — and, really, how smart of them to re-define American Horror Story each season, categorizing it as a miniseries. The always-hilarious Louis C.K. was "vindicated" with two Emmys for his writing on Louie and his stand-up special, Louis C.K.: Live at the Beacon Theater. And while the drama category was filled with some of my favorite shows, a very deserving Homeland pretty much swept the category. Aaron Paul was awarded for his role as Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, to which I say, "Yeah, bitch!" While Paul may have been confused during fashion week, he must have picked up some style tips on the catwalk, because his chocolate suit was sick, and only enhanced by his fiance's coordinating gown.
All together now: Aww!
Season 4 of Breaking Bad was outstanding, and I'm a Jesse fan but…
The bad: Giancarlo Esposito should have won for his performance in Breaking Bad. I will never not be terrified of him after seeing him as the disturbing Gus Fring. I would have liked to see Kristen Wiig win for her last season on SNL. And Jon Cryer? I love ya, Duckie, but Two and a Half Men does not belong in the awards arena.
"Wait, me? Are you guys sure?"
So, it was mostly a snoozefest, but at least we had the opening skit featuring all the leading ladies and, namely, a "nude" Lena Dunham eating cake in a bathroom stall.
In non-Emmy news, Clint Eastwood's infamous
empty chair assault during the Republican National Convention is old news by
now, but that's not going to stop the folks at Extra from babbling on about it. During an interview about his
film Trouble With the Curve, Eastwood
had this to say: "If
someone's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say
something, they're going to have to take what they get."
Serious question:
Is Amanda Bynes the new Britney? With Ms. Spears cleaning off
her Cheeto dust to fulfill her duties as "Britney, bitch"
on The X Factor, another
downward-spiraling starlet must accept the role as train wreck supreme. Sure,
Lindsay Lohan is the obvious candidate, but if you've been following the
"retired" actress of Nickelodeon fame, you know Bynes is barreling to the front
of the race. Seemingly out of nowhere, Bynes has recently had her car impounded after facing charges for a DUI, driving without a license (twice) and two hit-and-runs.
I will go as far as calling my dad in from the 'burbs to chauffeur my ass around (or, in dire situations, dealing with the living hell that is Ron's Cab) to avoid traffic stops and drunk driving. Can't these child stars payroll a driver to be available at their every whim, or call a damn taxi? Also, people are saying she's crazier than one of those silly characters she played when she was 12.
Apple sold more
than 5 million iPhone 5s over the weekend, completely running out of stock.
Those who didn't camp outside Apple stores or take advantage of pre-sale offers
will have to wait until October for the newest iPhone, but I borrowed my
boyfriend's I tested one out all professional-like over the weekend. Here's
the rundown. "Fastest, thinnest, lightest iPhone ever?" Yes. It's so light, it feels like a
toy phone that should have chiclets inside or something.
iPhone 5 prototype
The phone itself is
more compact, but the screen surface is actually larger. It's equipped with 4G
LTE and features a new smaller, reversible charger. Siri remains pretty
inessential to those of us with the ability to look out windows, although I've found it moderately entertaining to ask it existential
questions and see how well it can decipher fake accents. And the cool, easy-to-use panoramic camera
feature is sure to set the Instagram world on fire.

Well, readers, since Infection and Infestation are Fan Fic, I thought I should do a little advertising:
These "novels" are based off of the Dead Space game series. I highly recommend checking both games (Dead Space and Dead Space 2), as well as the animated movie (Dead Space: Downfall) out. *Note, The games are rated M, and the movie is PG-13.*

Timeouts that occur during your application runtime can be configured on the Couchbase Client SDK side. In most cases, you should also assume that your client application will need to receive Couchbase timeout information and handle the timeout appropriately.
This section is not intended to be a comprehensive guide on timeouts and performance tuning for your application; it provides some of the most useful, basic information about SDK-level timeout settings. It also describes considerations and trade-offs you should have in mind when you design your application to address timeouts.
In general, there are few possible ways to handle timeouts from Couchbase client SDKs:
Trigger another action, such as displaying default content or providing user with alternative action,
Slow down the number of requests you are making from your application,
Indicate system overload.
In many cases, a developer's first instinct is to set very low timeouts, such as 100ms or less, in the hope that this will guarantee requests/responses happen in a certain time. However one possible consequence of setting very low timeouts is even a minor network delay of a few milliseconds can trigger a timeout. Timeouts usually means that a Couchbase SDK will retry an operation which puts more unneeded traffic on the networks and other systems used in your application. In other scenarios developers may have inherited an application they want to use with Couchbase Server, but the application has not been originally designed to handle timeout information returned by Couchbase Server.
In either of these scenario, the risk is to assume that setting aggressive timeouts at the SDK-level will make a transaction occur in a certain time. Doing so may erroneously lead to even more performance bottlenecks for your application.
Timeouts are actually intended as a way to trigger your application to make a decision should a response not happen by a certain time. In other words, it is still your application's responsibility, and your responsibility as a developer to appropriately handle types of requests that will take longer, or not return at all. Time requirements for your application are best handled in your own application logic.
Setting timeouts so that an operation can fail fast can frequently be the right approach if your application is appropriately designed to do something in the case of a timeout, or slow response. For instance, if you want to set data and it does not happen quickly, it may not be significant for your application's usability. You may want your application to provide some default result to display, or do nothing. In other cases, your application may have to display a general "all systems busy" to reflect the heavy concurrent demand.
One common error to avoid is the case where you destroy a client instance and recreate a new client object every time a timeout occurs. This is especially so when you set an aggressively low timeout. Creating a new client is a heavier, slower process; if you developed an application that responded to timeouts this way, you would significantly impact performance.
The other approach to consider in your application logic is to actually provide a 'relief valve' by slowing your application down during certain operations. For instance, in the context of bulk loading, you want to load as much information as quickly as possible, but slow down the response of your application for the user when the load is not progressing.
Be aware too that with web applications, there may be a timeout that occurs elsewhere in the system which is generated outside of the control of Couchbase Server and Couchbase Client SDKs. For instance, most web application servers will not let a request continue indefinitely.
The default timeout for any given node in a Couchbase cluster is 2.5 seconds. If a Couchbase SDK does not receive a response from the server by this time, it will drop the connection to Couchbase Server and attempt to connect to another node.
Applications built on Couchbase can have timeouts configured at the following levels:
Connection-level settings
Authentication-level settings
Request-level settings
The Couchbase PHP SDK does not have any connection, authentication, or request timeouts which are configurable, however you can build timeouts which are managed by your own application.
The following are timeouts that can be set for a connection to Couchbase Server from the Java SDK:
Table 7.1. Available Timeouts for Java Connections
Parameter | Description | Default Setting |
MaxReconnectDelay | Maximum number of milliseconds to wait between reconnect attempts. | 30 seconds |
ShouldOptimize | If multiple requests simultaneously occur for same record, the record will be retrieved only once from the database and then returned to each request. This eliminates the need for multiple retrievals. | true |
OpQueueMaxBlockTime | The maximum amount of time, in milliseconds a client will wait to add a new item to a queue. | 10 milliseconds |
OpTimeout | Operation timeout used by this connection. | 2.5 seconds |
TimeoutExceptionThreshold | Maximum number of timeouts allowed before this connection will shut down. | 998 timeouts |
If you performing asynchronous transactions, you should be aware that performing these operations allocates memory at a low level. This can create a lot of information that needs to be garbage-collected by a VM, which will also slow down your application performance.
The following are some of the frequently-used timeouts that you set for a connection to Couchbase Server from the .Net SDK. for a full list of timeouts, their defaults, and their descriptions for .Net, please see Couchbase .Net SDK, Configuration:
Table 7.2. Available Timeouts for .Net Connections
Parameter | Description | Default Setting |
retryTimeout | The amount of time to wait in between failed attempts to read cluster configguration. | 2 seconds |
observeTimeout | Time to wait attempting to connect to pool when all nodes are down. In milliseconds. | 1 minute |
httpRequestTimeout | The amount of time to wait for the HTTP streaming connection to receive cluster configuration | 1 minute |
connectionTimeout | The amount of time the client waits to establish a connection to the server, or get a free connection from the pool | 10 seconds |
The following are timeouts that typically can be set for a connection to Couchbase Server from the Ruby SDK:
Table 7.3. Available Timeouts for Ruby Connections
Parameter | Description | Default Setting |
:timeout | Maximum number of microseconds to wait for a connection or a read/write to occur. | 2500000 microseconds. |
In the case of the Ruby SDK, you can set a timeout for the initial connection, and then change the timeout setting. This new connection-level setting will apply to any subsequent read/write requests made with the client instance:
conn = Couchbase.connect(:timeout => 3_000_000) conn.timeout = 1_500_000 conn.set("foo", "bar")
In this example, we create a new Couchbase client instance with
and set the
connection time out to 3 seconds. If the client instance fails
to connect in the three seconds, it will timeout and return a
failure to connect error. Then we set the timeout to 1.5, which
will be the timeout level of any requests made with that client
instance, such as the set()
The following is the standard, default, non-configurable timeout for the Couchbase C and PHP SDKs. This timeout applies to creating a connection to the server and all read- and write- operations:
Table 7.4. Available Timeouts for C and PHP SDK
Description | Default Setting | |
Default, maximum number of microseconds to wait for a connection or a read/write to occur. | 2500000 microseconds. |

They say from the outside looking in, you can't understand it, and from the inside looking out, you can't explain it. After November 18, 2009, when it comes to Texas A&M and Bonfire, I feel like I'm inside and out.
In the literal sense, I stood inside the circle at the memorial. At 2:42 a.m., the thousands who were outside surrounding the old stack site were invited to the middle by the families of the fallen. I went inside sans camera. Because there were no microphones and speakers, I was, in large part, motivated by my desire to hear what was happening. What I got was an indescribable experience.
And that's what puts me off kilter. It's my job to describe things in front of me. Granted, I can tell you the names of the fallen were called, the Spirit of Aggieland was sung, and Amazing Grace was played by a bagpipe group. As for what I felt, that I cannot describe, and I don't know that I ever will be able to do so.
On Brazos Valley This Morning, the best I could come up with as description was that it was an "Aggie Spiritual experience," a line that I readily admit is a bit cheesy. The more I think about it (and that's been all I've thought about on this anniversary), it's as fitting a line as I can find. After all, there's a spirit can ne'er be told, right?
My colleagues have truly been affected in the days that have led up to the 18th. Many of us aren't Aggies, nor were we here when stack collapsed. While how others shape their words and their images in their stories is out of my control, I was kept up at night at times fearing that the coverage of this "outsider" wouldn't be up to the level that should be expected by Aggies. It's a fear I confided in my close A&M alum friends, those who were here a decade ago and more.
Their response: do your best...it's all you can do.
That in mind, I stepped inside the Bonfire Memorial at 2:42 a.m. Wednesday, and was met with an experience and an array of emotion that I will carry with me wherever I go. It may have brought me closer to being an Aggie insider as anyone without a ring can get.
For now, I find myself in limbo. However far inside I am, I can't explain it. However far outside I am, I can't understand it. Maybe...just maybe, I'm not supposed to.
Or maybe no one is. And maybe that's OK.

How to Treat a Rebellious Israel
How to Treat a Rebellious Israel
Are American pastors dismissive of Arab Christians in Israel? Should Christians treat the Israeli-Palestinian dispute differently than other conflicts? As pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, John Piper has been addressing these contentious questions for years. After he began informally discussing them with David Brickner, executive director of Jews for Jesus, we invited them to share some of their discussion with our readers. We continue today with Piper's response to Brickner's question, "Do Jews have a divine right to the Promised Land?" and will continue tomorrow with Brickner's response.
Dear David,
Thank you for taking this happy initiative. I am eager to discuss Israel and the Promised Land with you. I love Jews for Jesus. Your leadership, and Moishe Rosen's before you, have been for me a cause for continual thanksgiving. "To the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Rom. 1:16) has never ceased to carry weight with me. I pray we will never lose Paul's passion in Romans 10:1: "My heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved."
We both agree that the way God chose to bring all the nations under the sway of King Jesus is astonishing. After sketching it, Paul praised God, "How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!" (Rom. 11:33).
- First, God chose Israel. "The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth" (Deut. 7:6).
- Then, for 2,000 years, he focused his saving work mainly on Israel, "allowing all the nations to walk in their own ways" (Acts 14:16).
- Then he sent Jesus, the Messiah, to Israel, knowing they would crucify him, so that the Gentiles might "receive mercy because of their [Israel's] disobedience" (Rom. 11:30).
- And then, lest we Gentiles think we are the end of the story, Paul told us that Israel "has now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you [Gentiles] they [Israel] also may now receive mercy" (Rom. 11:31).
- And the point of it all? To show that "from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen" (Rom. 11:36).
What was Paul's response to this flabbergasting way of saving the world? Unsearchable! Inscrutable! "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" (Rom. 11:34).
So, you are right. I believe God has a future for ethnic Israel. And we agree this is not because there are two tracks to glory or two different covenants of grace. Rather, corporate Israel will be saved in the end because she will be grafted back into the same covenant tree with all of us wild olive branches (Rom. 11:1624). Both Jews and Gentiles become heirs of the promise of Abraham in the same way: "If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise" (Gal. 3:29).
So I am persuaded with J. C. Ryle that Israel, as a people, will someday be converted to the Messiah and saved:
They are kept separate that they may finally be saved, converted and restored to their own land. They are reserved and preserved, in order that God may show in them as on a platform, to angels and men, how greatly he hates sin, and yet how greatly he can forgive, and how greatly he can convert. Never will that be realized as it will in that day when "all Israel shall be saved." (Are You Ready for the End of Time? pp. 137138)
Moreover, I also believe the promise of the Land to this redeemed ethnic Israel is both conditional and irrevocable. Irrevocable means they will finally have it as a special dwelling place when the Deliverer comes from Zion and banishes ungodliness from Jacob (Rom. 11:26).

Elizabeth, why should we talk to any non-Christian Jews, except to win them to Jesus? Oh, it might be very interesting, but not very useful, because the Mosaic covenant is dead, buried under the ruins of the Temple. The Jews rejected their Messiah when He came, and crucified Him on a Roman cross. But on the third day He was resurrected, not as the Messiah of the Jews, but of all peoples who accept Him, including Jews. Jewish skill in blooming the desert and the many other things they do well is not a substitute for faith in Jeshua, the Christ. Prophecy indicates that in the end, the Jews will be saved. Whether that refers only to the Jews of that time or all Jews is debatable. Believing Christ now, Jew or Gentile, is the only sure way to His blessings now and an eternity in God's presence.

As per Ms. Levesque's desire, I have consulted rabbis. Rabbis confirm all Israelites aren't Jews. Also true for ancient times before Jesus. Brickner and apparently Piper either disbelieve, deny or ignore this. In the NT, "Jew" rarely, if ever, acts as a corporate term for Jacob/Israel. Many NT Jews were Israelites, and many were not; consider Herod as an Idumean (Esau) Jew. In the NT, "gentile" simply conveys non-Jew, but as a poor interpretive translation for a word that should always translate 'nations' or an equivalent. Without doubt, the vast majority of Israelites, both Jews from so. Judah and Israelites from no. Israel/Ephraim, are scattered among the nations. Respectively, they are no longer called Jews or never have been and likely will not be. Modern, scarce and multi-ethnic Jewry comes from the limited Baby. captivity of Judah. Where is the vast multiplicity and nations promised to Ab, Sarah and each tribe, especially Ephraim and Manasseh? All must come from Jacob!
Jeff Millenson
I appreciate Dr. Piper's statements about God's dealings with Israel throughout history. However, I disagree with his assertion that God "sent Jesus, the Messiah, to Israel, knowing they would crucify him, so that the Gentiles might 'receive mercy because of their [Israel's] disobedience' (Rom. 11:30)." Does Romans 11:30-32 support the notion that Israel's disobedience is equated with her supposed responsibility for Jesus' crucifixion? No, the ultimate disobedience Paul is speaking of is the failure of ALL unbelievers, Jew and Gentile, to acknowledge their sins and to receive Jesus as sin-bearer. We can more accurately say, "God sent Jesus, the Messiah, to Israel, knowing that some of His people would reject Him, that a remnant would receive Him, and that to all who would receive Him, Jew and Gentile, He would give the right to become children of God and to inherit eternal life." Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God, indeed!
Elizabeth Levesque
FACT: Israel is the 3rd largest issuer of patents and inventions. Did you know that Sudanese, Ethiopians, many are "sneaking" into Israel for aid and jobs? Did you know that Israeli scientists, engineers, and professionals do HUGE business with Microsoft, Cisco, etc., and all have HUGE contracts with Israeli patents and engineering? Did you not know that Israel has become a technological blessing to the world and developed some type of material for wound healing as well as polymer (Kevlar) stronger and lighter than steel for irrigation, oil pipelines, etc.? Did you know that the recent survey in Gaza said that 7 out of 10 Gazans (predominantly Arab Muslims) FEAR their government to death? FEEL oppressed and did you know that they clamor to be INSIDE Israel with other Arabs for jobs and freedom? Do you know how prosperous the Arab Christians and Arab Muslims INSIDE Israel are and how envied they are by other Arabs who are stinking poor? FACTs please! GEt some FACTS about Modern Israel.
Elizabeth Levesque
Please: from an Orthodox Jewish perspective there is no such thing as "rights", okay? When you interject your 21st Century American argument of "rights" into an eternal covenant of LAW, as in the Pentateuch, as in the Five Books of Moses, as in the Tanach (Law, prophets, writings) you show such a woeful ignorance of the relationship of eternity between YHWH and Israel. It is painful to see these comments. utterly and disgustingly painful to see people comment on Israel not from THEIR relationship with THEIR Lord, the Holy One of Israel, who grafted in Gentiles, who benefit from the ROOT, who are merely branches, which too, can be cut off. Sheer ignorance and arrogance to speak about Israel this way and please get with Orthodox Jews and rabbis for your information.

SALINAS, Calif- Wednesday was the preliminary hearing for David Leonardo, the man authorities say punched a two and a half year old child to death.
A Monterey County Judge found there to be enough evidence for Leonardo to head to trial.
Leonardo faces one count of second degree murder, one count of felony child endangerment as well as one count of causing the death of a minor.
At Wednesday's preliminary hearing, a doctor explained that evidence shows Leonardo punched a two and a half year old child in the stomach and smothered the child after the infant told leonardo she had went to the bathroom in her pants.
Leonardo is set to be re-arraigned on all the charges he faces later this month.

Emperor Penguins survive Antarctica's freezing winters (where temperatures can dip below 45 degrees C) by huddling together in tightly packed clusters. The penguins slowly rotate positions in the huddle so that no one penguin has to be on the outside of the pack for too long.

Alain Hubert slowly made his way down an icy crevasse on Antarctica's Princess Rangnhild Coast to a large plain of snow and ice early last month.
Spread across the frozen tundra before him, 9,000 members of a never-before-visited colony of emperor penguins huddled together for warmth against the subzero temperatures of the world's coldest continent.
Hubert, a Belgian expedition leader and engineer for the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica Polar Research Station, says he decided to go looking for the emperor penguin colony after coming across a satellite map estimating its location. "I had noticed individual penguins along the coastline for years but had never come across a colony," Hubert says. "It was a miracle finding it in an area that is almost entirely unexplored."
Scientists with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) first uncovered evidence of the colony back in 2009 while scanning the white snow and ice of Antarctica by satellite. They noticed strange brown splotches they couldn't initially identify. "After a while, we came to the conclusion that it was guano from an emperor penguin colony," says Phil Trathan, head of conservation biology for the survey group. "We said 'Hey, if we can see this one, we can see others.'"
View a slide show of the emperor penguin colony.
The BAS team located Hubert's colony as well as six other previously unknown emperor penguin colonies that year. Since then Trathan and fellow BAS researchers have been busy locating and estimating the full population count of emperor penguins across Antarctica using the satellite scanning technique. Survey geographer Peter Fretwell says the team uses low- to medium-resolution satellite cameras to find distinctive brown regions of snow and ice that are evidence of a colony. Next, high-resolution cameras and a technique called pan-sharpening help to enhance ground resolution (the size of objects a satellite can depict from orbit) to around 50 centimeters. Fretwell says that resolution makes it possible to distinguish individual penguins separated from the group as well as small clusters of birds.
The researchers released a census of Antarctica's penguins in April 2012 showing a total of 46 separate colonies with a combined population of almost 600,000 birds, nearly twice as many as were previously thought to live in Antarctica. Fretwell says the BAS is working with an international team of researchers and polar explorers including Hubert in Antarctica to adapt the satellite-mapping approach for long-term monitoring of the emperor population. Although the penguins are not endangered, rapidly rising temperatures in the region could wear away the ice that the one-meter-tall birds call home.
The researchers will need to collect three to four more years of satellite and ground data in order to develop a methodology robust enough to track emperor penguin numbers on local, regional and continental scales, Fretwell says. "Ground counts corroborate our satellite data and help us improve our methods," he says. "But because of the extreme conditions in Antarctica, we have ground data from maybe two of the almost 50 colonies. So there is definitely a lot of work left to be done."
Hubert, who is not affiliated with the BAS, trekked 50 kilometers from where he was working with Elisabeth Antarctica station glaciologists to visit the bird colony. He says he plans on sharing his observations with the survey when he returns to Europe.

By Lisa Diehl, Kansas Area communications director, and Kathryn Witte, Nebraska Conference communications director
On June 9, Kansas Area Bishop Scott Jones and Nebraska Bishop Ann Sherer-Simpson simultaneously announced the results of a vote to combine the current three United Methodist conferences in Kansas and Nebraska into a new conference Jan. 1, 2014.
Susan Brown and Rev. Kenton Van count the results of the ballots cast by the Kansas East Conference on the one-conference motion. (photo by Britt Bradley) |
The Kansas West Conference cast 550 votes, with 409 yes votes, 140 no votes and 1 abstention.
The Kansas East Conference cast 478 votes, with 415 yes votes, 62 no votes and 1 abstention.
The Nebraska Conference cast 528 votes, with 370 yes votes and 158 no votes.
The motion was approved by at least 70 percent in all three conferences—Kansas West was 74.4 percent in favor, Kansas East was 86.8 percent in favor and Nebraska was 70 percent in favor.
The three conferences will become one new conference Jan. 1, 2014.
"I'm excited, and there is every reason to be hopeful. Our conferences are committed to positive change," Sherer-Simpson said.
"It's a great opportunity," Jones said. "I'm excited. And there's a part of me that's just scared that somehow we've got to do this and grab a hold of the opportunity we've been given."
Kansas West voted May 24. Ballots were sealed and counted following the votes in the other two conferences. Kansas East voted June 7 and Nebraska voted June 8. All the ballots were counted the evening of June 8. Results were announced at the Kansas East and Nebraska annual conference sessions and webcast live across the two states.
In the next few weeks, the extended cabinets of the three conferences along with the Kansas East Leadership Team, Kansas West Focus Team and the Nebraska Common Table will meet to plan the next steps to bring a plan for the new conference to the three annual-conference sessions in May and June 2013.
"There's a lot of discussion that needs to go on here," Jones said. "Change is hard. We know that."
"I am hopeful this shift from three to one offers us as United Methodists in the Great Plains Area a time to creatively realign our life together," said Sherer-Simpson. "We build on 156 years of faithful witness – a foundation that each conference rightly cherishes. We look at the mission context in the 21st century as an opportunity for each local church to reach out and make disciples of Jesus Christ whom God can use to transform the world."
The three conferences will not vote on the plan for the new conference next spring but will have opportunity to provide feedback on the plan, which will be voted upon at the uniting conference. Jones said all three conferences will have an opportunity to celebrate the many vibrant and important ministries in which they have been engaged.
On Aug. 23 and 24, 2013, there will be a uniting conference at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kan. Because the conferences will still be separate legal entities, each will vote separately on the plan.
"We will stay there until there's three separate votes to adopt a single one-conference plan," Jones said.
Dream teams, technical teams, the transition team and conference leadership will be working on the one-conference plan over the next several months.
"God's going to be in this. The next 18 months is going to be a special time," Jones said. "We need everybody's prayers. We have to figure out how to make this work as well as possible."
This vote came about as a result of a recommendation from the Nebraska-Kansas Episcopal Area Transition Team comprised of representatives from all three conferences. The transition team was formed when the South Central Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church implemented a plan to comply with legislation from the General Conference of the church to reduce the number of bishops in the jurisdiction by one. The announcement to have one bishop serve the episcopal areas of Nebraska and Kansas was made in September 2009.

Nice sentiment, but the only solution is to start locking up the crazy people. And easy enough to find them too. Just ask you local pharmacist.
Better yet, take away the assault weapons. (But that would be too logical.)
#1, now that kenyacare is in place,and all medical records have to be computerized, it will be a short step for the congress and the kenyan klown to pass a law requiring the instant check for gun purchases to include a dive into the medical records pool, to deny anyone who shows a code for any kind of psychiatric illness.You heard it here first.
What a sweet thing to do. I scanned the article a couple of times and wasn´t able to find out who won the game. I hope the Tigers did.
Tigers lost 3-2
#2, like they did in Norway, right? Liberals and their gulog mentality...they just can´t help but reflexively attack freedom

I have tasted the 1975 Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial for a few times, but today I had the opportunity to taste its late-disgorged version, the Grand Vintage Collection from a magnum bottle.
Disgorged in 2002, this wine was bright, deep golden. The nose was classic Moët with mocha, white fruit and straw enhanced with peculiar apricot and honey notes of noble rot. Appearance of sweetness continues also on the palate, which feels sweeter than its 7,5 g/l residual sugar would suggest. The real charm lies on the palate though, so thick, round and creamy. One of the most voluptuous 1975s I have tasted. Drinking perfectly now, showing its mature side but remaining very fresh and alive.

West Lake Feast
The long weekend has officially started! My family doesn't celebrate Easter, but to celebrate the long weekend, I'm visiting my parents in central Jersey for the weekend.
One of our family traditions since I went away to school has been feasting whenever we get back together. Pretty sure most families share this tradition, but I don't mind at all.
Tonight we went to West Lake for dinner, one of my parents' favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. The food is authentic and we've been going for years (since I was in 6th grade)! We recognized the manager as usual when we got there, but didn't see any of the usual servers and were given unfamiliar menus this time. Maybe the place is undergoing an overhaul? Still, the meal was fantastic so no complaints here!
We ordered four delicious entrees to share, the first being lobster!
We followed up with my mom's favorite: pan-fried fish with string beans and Chinese black beans. I love Chinese black beans in any dish at all so really liked this dish.
My sister's usual was next: pan-fried noodles with chicken and vegetables. Pretty standard, but they were a little oily for my taste.
Last was my choice! Pan-fried rack of lamb with some broccoli. It was delicious, really tender and well-seasoned.
What a satisfying meal! Now time for bed with a full belly of food.

If you want a simple answer, get one of both. Each is unique in its sound, much like effects or amplifiers. if your only going to settle on one, take a long look at the sound your trying to achieve.
If you want a simple answer, get one of both. Each is unique in its sound, much like effects or amplifiers. if your only going to settle on one, take a long look at the sound your trying to achieve.
Also, that PRS I posted comes stock with humbuckers, so it should be right up your alley.
Oh, have also been considering an SG....
By the way, it's a longshot, but you should really consider a Made In Japan (NOT CHINA!) Tokai Goldstar. It was a blueprint perfect Strat clone (with its sister Love Rock, a Les Paul clone). They were hand made by Japanese craftsmen, any of them from 79-84 SHOULD be genuine. After 84 they were all made in China and worth jackshit, due to Gibson and Fender suing them (which is why they are called Patent Guitars). A lot of American pawn shops and used guitar shops don't know their rarity and value, it wouldn't hurt to check around and look for one.
Okay my friend, don't say I never did anything for you, I just checked ebay and found two legit MIJ Goldstars:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Tokai-T...item338647589c This one ends in 6 days and is at $595, with a buy it now of $775
This one is in nicer shape, but with a Buy It Now of $895 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Tokai-G...item46114ecca1
Either one of those guitars is every bit the quality of anything Fender ever put out from a U.S. factory, if you can get the first one for $595 plus s&h I would jump on it.
its just personal preference.
if u have to ask, u shouldnt buy a new one of either. get a used beater from a pawn shop or craigslist. and dont waste money on a non-fender strat
i play a les paul, i love the deep tone. but there a few blues type songs i used a strat for
Last edited by racerx; 10-11-2013 at 06:24 PM.
My favorite sound in the world is the silence after the first gunshot. There's a stillness, as though the air itself is afraid to move. I do some of my best work in that silence.
Have to agree on that, those strat copies are quite good. Also, shitting on the Tokai strats is ridiculous IT WAS MADE FROM THE FENDER BLUEPRINTS that Tokai illegally obtained, and by Japanese craftsmen who had done traditional wood working (for Japanese traditional instruments), their quality is legendary.
Les Paul=ultimate rock/blues guitar, doesn't do much else, doesn't sound great clean
Strat=can do literally everything, but cannot sound like a Les Paul
If you go for a Strat, don't buy the SSH one. It's not a real strat.
A Strat is harder to play than a Les Paul.
I love both, but if it were my first serious guitar, I'd go with the Strat. But really, you can't go wrong with a Les Paul, either. It's up to you!
Be sure to play a lot of them in the store before you buy one. Every one of them is different.
its not complete bs. its great advice for a novice, who 100% of time when buying a low priced guitar because it says strat, wont be getting a suhr.
and a new $400 strat copy to me is waste of money. likely wont stay and tune and will have poor action, thats the last thing a beginner needs to contend with.
i think even spendng good money on a new suhr(or fender or gibson) is a waste too because he doesnt know what he likes yet or if it will end up in the closet forever.
as to the "blows away" comment, a beginner wouldnt notice the differences, and to a pro its just personal preference.
its not like strat players all switched to suhr(unless they were paid to)
if eveyone in the world said a suhr blows away my les paul, i still wouldnt trade it. it plays like a dream and theres no better sound for me than that sound i love

I think Gitfiddle might have overstated it a bit, but the stuff Fender has been putting out recently (and Gibson too in the last 4 years or so) hasn't been up to their old standard. The new American Strat you buy today is not the same build quality as one that Hendrix played, so the difference between some of the newer brands (especially RPS) and a name brand Fender is pretty negligible, especially if you're going to mod it anyway. I'd take an RPS over a Mexican Fender any day.
Hey, all Randy Rhoades ever used to practice with was a shitty Fender solid state amp, and Cobain played a stock Ultravox Hi-Flyer on Bleach for crying out loud. Equipment is very over rated, but at the same time it's hard to learn on a shit guitar.
EDIT: I just found this cool old Guitar World article about this, actually:http://www.guitarworld.com/archive-d...ain-gear-guideCobain may not have collected vintageGibsons, Martins, D'Angelicos and what-not, but he owned an eccentric cache of budget models, low-end imports and pawn shop prizes — most pursued with the same passion as a Gibson collector seeking a mint '59 Les Paul. Even when he could afford the best, Cobain's taste in instruments never changed. "Junk is always best," Cobain stated matter-of-factly to Jeff Gilbert in a February 1992 Guitar World interview. "I use whatever I can find at junk shops."

By Venita Jenkins Staff writer
Malik Hicks was baffled when he saw 3 inches of snow on the ground at Fayetteville State University, covering just a large swath near the back entrance of the Lyons Science Building.
"I was thinking maybe Mother Nature made a mistake," said Hicks, a freshman from Erwin. "It caught me off guard because it was in one spot. It was a surprise, but a great start to my day."
The snow on FSU's campus Wednesday morning was a demonstration by Stephen Salek, an FSU biology assistant professor.
Salek used a handmade snow gun to make 3 to 5 inches of snow. Salek had been monitoring the temperatures for the past few days.
Conditions were perfect, he said. Temperatures were in the low 20s Wednesday morning, and the ground was cold enough to make it stick.
He arrived on campus about 2 a.m. and set up his snow gun, which is made out of a pressure washer and an air compressor. The gun has a small nozzle that shoots fine mist and two larger nozzles that shoots coarser mist.
"So what happens when it comes out under pressure, the water expands, and that makes it freeze," he said. "The bigger droplets fall on the smaller ones, and that is what makes it snow."
The snow gun can make an inch to two inches an hour. Salek hadn't been able to make snow for the past two years because of the above-average temperatures, he said.
On Wednesday, two students paused to take photos of the snow with their phones as Salek talked about the art of snow making. The snow covered a patch about 30 feet by 30 feet, he said.
"It's real!" one of the students exclaimed.
"You can eat it off the tree if you want," Salek told the students.
The students felt the snow between their fingers and then posed with the snow-covered tree in the background.
"It was a shock. I didn't expect real snow to be out here," said Tenarra McKnight, a junior from South Carolina.
Salek smiled when he heard the students' reaction.
"I love to sit down all day and talk to anyone who comes along and try to draw them in," he said. "I would like for them to get involved in building something."
Salek invited physics professors to bring their classes to the snow patch to learn about snowmaking.
Salek first started making snow for his daughter and neighborhood children. He often made a snow run in his backyard where the children could sled. He wanted to share a similar experience with FSU students and faculty.
"A lot of the things that go on at a university depend on an individual faculty member's passion and enthusiasm," he said. "Everybody has a different contribution. I think it's cool."

Editor's Note: Excerpted from A Newer World—Politics, Money, Technology, and What's Really Being Done to Solve the Climate Crisis, by William F. Hewitt. With permission from the publisher, University of New Hampshire Press. Copyright © William F. Hewitt, 2012. (University of New Hampshire Press is an imprint of University Press of New England, www.upne.com.)
A concerted, focused, and well-funded campaign of disinformation has been waged against climate change.
This attempt to discredit the science, to instill a sense of doubt about the conclusiveness and the extent of the agreement within the scientific community, is a story well told by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway in Merchants of Doubt. Oreskes looked at 928 — 10 percent — of all the papers published on climate change in peer-reviewed science journals over a ten-year period. She chose the 928 papers at random. Not one disputed the view that manmade greenhouse gases (GHGs) were causing a catastrophic environmental crisis.
Greenpeace, for one, has published well-documented reports on the funding for climate change denial by ExxonMobil and Koch Industries, among others. Journalists James Hoggan and Ross Gelbspan have also done considerable spadework in uncovering the campaigns mounted by fossil fuel special interests to discredit climate science. Hoggan writes, for instance, that "it's a story of deceit, of poisoning public judgment — of an anti-democratic attack on our political structures and a strategic undermining of the journalistic watchdogs who keep our social institutions honest."
Gelbspan says, "The reason most Americans don't know what is happening to the climate is that the oil and coal industries have spent millions of dollars to persuade them global warming isn't happening." Greenpeace notes that the ongoing "campaigns against climate science continue to receive funding from big oil and energy interests — not just ExxonMobil, but a raft of other companies and foundations whose profits are driven by the products that cause global warming."
A prominent public relations consultant, Frank Luntz, wrote a memo in 2000 that was widely circulated among conservatives seeking to debunk climate science and blunt any public policy progress on the issue. "Voters believe there's no consensus about global warming within the scientific community. Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate."
The problem lies in the fact that even though the misinformation and doubt promulgated by the denialists flies directly in the face of the unequivocal evidence produced by scientists over more than 30 years — and wholly accepted within the scientific community — the media has too often taken the misinformation at its face value. At best, the media has continuously opined that there is a "debate" in scientific circles. At worst, they have broadcast the most outrageous of the claims being touted.
As early as 1994, Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer saw the danger: "What they've done is try to take scientific understanding and put it on the same level with political opinion. After all, if scientific understanding is the same as political opinion, then everybody's opinion is equally valid. There are no facts. And if there are no facts, there is no extra validity to acting on environmental problems than not acting." (As Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said: "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.")
