At the Watchtower some time later, Chloe's on the phone with Lois, telling her she's glad she's safe and will be home soon. She goes down the spiral staircase and finds Clark standing in front of the circular stained glass window. The view put things in perspective, he says. "Jimmy knew exactly what he was doing when he bought this place." Meaning, I think, that he must have known he was about to die and wouldn't have to worry about paying the obscene mortgage on it. Chloe joins Clark and says she misses Jimmy. Clark admits he took the easy way out. "I should have been there when you needed me. I'm sorry." Chloe understands that burying everyone he loves in his past isn't easy. Clark says he hasn't done a good job of that. "I've been trying to fill the void by hanging out on rooftops, eavesdropping on people." He thinks he can't completely stay away. Chloe: "Stay away from her, you mean." She thinks Lois means "something more" to him. She looks sad or resigned or tired, or all three, and the music sounds about the same. Clark stares at her in response. Chloe asks, "So does this mean that Clark Kent is coming back for an encore?" He doesn't know, he says, but he can't let that life get in the way of his training. Chloe thinks that pining for his old life isn't exactly helping him be a hero, either. She tells him, "Kal-El needs his human disguise more than ever." Clark wonders why. Chloe tells him about going to Lois's computer earlier. "Tess loaded it up with serious spyware." Clark seems surprised that Tess didn't hire Lois out of the goodness of her heart. Clark and Chloe worry about Tess finding out that Lois went to the future. Chloe says they can't let Tess get to Lois's memories before Clark does. I don't think it's Lois's memory Tess wants to get into.
Daily Planet. It's all sunny and bright outside. Inside, it's kind of dim. Oh, wait. That's just Lois. She picks up John's nameplate off his desk and chucks it in the trash. "Heartless bastard," she says. OK, so he kidnapped you and tried to kill you, but the heartless part wasn't his fault. She opens her desk drawer and pulls out Clark's nameplate. She sighs. Clark is watching her from across the room, unbeknownst to her. "I'm going to be needing that," he says. She turns around with a big grin and runs into his arms. "Clark Kent, you're back! I was beginning to think your family lived on some distant planet." Nah, the planet's gone now. Clark teases her about missing him. She pulls away from him. "Only because the guy at your desk was a certifiable psychopath." "Missed you, too, Lois," he says. Clark takes his spot at his old desk and asks if anything exciting's been happening. Lois says she helped the Blur catch "a homicidal maniac." Clark, just eating this up, says he would love to hear all about it. Lois scampers over to sit on the edge of Clark's desk and gleefully recounts the story. Lighthearted, romantic music plays. So, no one's sympathetic for John, whose life was taken from him and turned him into a monstrous killing machine against his will? No? All right, then.
Luthor mansion. Tess is studying John's now-defunct kryptonite heart. She asks a well-dressed minion, "Can he be revived?" "The subject's operation has left him more machine than man," says the minion. A trumpet blast in the soundtrack at this point is supposed to sound dramatic but I swear it sounds exactly like an indignant elephant. "His vital signs have simply gone offline." Tess just smiles. Stuart walks in just as the well-dressed minion is packing up the krypto-heart. "You have the coolest stuff!" Stuart gushes. Tess lashes out at him about him needing to knock before he enters. Stuart looks like he just pooped himself a little but manages to nod. Tess asks him if he's found the Kandorians. He hands her his computer pad and shows her symbols that showed up all over the world the night Zod and soldiers arrived. They look similar to Kryptonian symbols for blood, nobility, and family. Tess glances over at the Veritas symbol in the stained glass window. "Like a family crest," she says. She thinks it means more of Zod's people are out there. "How many of these did you find?" Stuart says there are hundreds of the symbols, one of which Tess might recognize. He touches the pad and pulls up an image of the Superman S logo burned into a desertous-looking landscape. But wait, there's more! A close-up of the image reveals a man's twisted body at its center. He looks naked and sort of skeletonized. Doomsday? Jor-El? Lex? Jimmy Hoffa! Tess looks stunned, whoever it is.

The Out Door
Can't it be both?
The tricky marriage of humor and seriousness in experimental music, plus interviews with Fat Worm of Error, Evan Caminiti, and Lightning Swords of Death.
By Marc Masters and Grayson Currin , October 15, 2010
IV. Lightning Swords of Death: Magick and Weapons
If you've ever watched a movie about Los Angeles (from Training Day to Friday and beyond) or listened to music from Los Angeles (from Los Lobos to Guns N' Roses and beyond), you probably have some idea of the urban turmoil the sprawling city can foster. Fittingly, on the day we reached Lightning Swords of Death frontman Autarch in his LA apartment, there'd been both a bomb scare and a stabbing nearby. A lifelong resident of the city, even he seemed surprised by his hometown. "Sometimes things get a little crazy in Los Angeles," he understates.
The Extra Dimensional Wound, the excellent second LP by Autarch's Swords, lashes back at that upheaval with a torrent of black metal. Led by his guttural, athletic voice and his screams of takeovers and new starts, Wound is a bleak, brutal attempt to power past the negativity the band feels in the world. Recorded in Los Angeles and mixed in Stockholm, it's a massive listen, too, with guitars and drums that sound like a battalion.
Pitchfork: You're a lifelong Los Angeles resident, and that city certainly isn't known for its black metal. What effect do you think your life there has had on the sort of music you make?
Autarch: We've never been a band that obsesses on where we're from too much because we'd be doing the same thing everywhere else. I definitely love Los Angeles. I've lived here my whole life. There's a lot of aggression one can tap into-- bombs going off and stuff. [laughs] It's got an interesting history, and where I live, there's a lot of strangeness. California's always been rich in strangeness. We definitely tap into that and want to add to it-- build on the strangeness pile.
Pitchfork: You've said before that Southern California has a weird past with magick [the wide-ranging term used by occult figure Aleister Crowley in Magick Without Tears to describe "Changes to take place in conformity with my Will" --Ed]. Does that make it easier to be a California black metal band?
Autarch: It has a rich occult history in the Southern California area. I find it to be an ideal place to do what we do, especially since there aren't a lot of bands here doing what we do. That probably resulted in us starting this project and following through with it; we weren't hearing the kind of music we wanted to. There's a lot of great bands, but there wasn't the energy or the feeling that we wanted to experience. We realized that if we put that out there, it would affect people in a very interesting way.
Pitchfork: What's the feeling you want from this music, exactly?
Autarch: My perspective towards this kind of music is that it should evoke a feeling that's coupled with a sound, and it affects you in a different way than a lot of music affects you. It feels like someone is walking over your grave. There's the sensation that something is happening more than just musical performance. The lack of that feeling is how I judge bands. A lot of bands that come out and are coined to be black metal, I'm not feeling it. There's not anything that's walking over my grave. We want to unlock that feeling in people. I like there to be an uneasiness in our live performances and our recordings. There should always be new things you're hearing and you're feeling when you're listening, or you're not doing your job.
Pitchfork: Was black metal the first music that gave you that feeling?
Autarch: I don't know if there was. I think it might have been electronic music, experimental music. Of course the early black metal bands-- Mayhem, Bathory, even Venom. I remember when I was very young, those are the records I wasn't supposed to have. There's nothing more alluring than books you're not supposed to have. "There must be a reason this is being kept from me." So when you get older, you look into it. It's this forbidden thing, and, for some of us, you realize it's this missing thing that you've been looking for. It embraces you, and you become a part of it. That's what happened to everyone in this band.
Pitchfork: As a kid, was someone keeping that music from you? Or was it a general feeling of controversy?
Autarch: I grew up in the 80s, and there were all the television shows-- the Satanic scare of the 80s. It had the same effect on me as when I was very little and someone brought a giant box of drugs to the classroom. They opened it and told us, "These pills here, the person that took these, the wallpaper became monstrosities and tried to devour him." I was completely possessed with the potential that those drugs held. It's forbidden fruit, man. If the enemy is afraid of it, it must be your friend. Also, metal started taking other shapes that, to me, did not feel like metal. Black metal cleansed the genre a bit and brought it back to what it's supposed to be. The uninviting nature of black metal is very important. You go right past the warning sign.
Pitchfork: What about black metal makes people so obsessive?
Autarch: Heavy metal is a gateway. You start wanting to learn more about it. In the formative years, your best friends are Mayhem and Bathory and Venom. You start exploring those territories and figuring out how you want to express yourself. Initially this band was created to use the feeling that I connected with another phenomenon, an altered state of consciousness that, in ritual magick, is called the gnosis. I felt that the feeling of black metal, if elevated, could become a very, very useful tool. We pretty much picked up a weapon off the battlefield and are brandishing it over and over again.
Pitchfork: Did your interests in this music and magick occur simultaneously?
Autarch: Interest in one made the draw to the other a lot more accessible. I was interested in magick before I was interested in metal. I was listening to metal, but not the bands we're talking about. I wanted to know if they were reading the same things and if they were interested in the same things. Some of them were. I think my interest in magick has always come from my curiosity about the big questions-- why we're here, what we are, how relevant we are, and, most importantly, how irrelevant we are. The more I studied, it seemed to me that magick itself might be the key to understanding a little bit more. I think I have a better understanding now than I did when I started, for sure.
Pitchfork: A better understanding of what? What has magick-- and, for that matter, metal-- helped you address in your life?
Autarch: We really want people to investigate our message and read our lyrics and listen to our music and find those answers there. For me to just explain verbatim the current paradigm that we're attached to, it might befoul our audience's experiences in finding the secret themselves. I will say that we embrace the many-worlds model of the universe, and we believe the commodity of free will is a precious thing and should not be surrendered to the parasites that are constantly trying to guide your free will and corrupt what your true free will is. This struggle has, I believe, been going on for thousands of years.
My interest was also very much directed toward the source of magick. It's older than any religion, and, at a certain point in the human experience, it was abandoned and replaced by a path that bred more weakness than empowerment. It hastened the entropy of the human race. We're hiding some skeleton keys to unlock those chains in our art, and that's our purpose.
Pitchfork: What, specifically, is trying to corrupt free will?
Autarch: It's pretty much all around you, man. It's on the television. It's in the churches. It's on the tongue of every idiot wandering the streets. I don't think people really know what they want. I think people are just waiting for any bullshit that someone's willing to fill them with. That's a sad state of affairs. The funeral march that our drums are smashing to is for the doom of all of man. It gets worse constantly. If we can bring about, or assist in the bringing about of, some sort of eschaton that can bring about incredible change, so be it.
Pitchfork: What will that change look like, ideally?
Autarch: A massive paradigm shift. I think that shift would be psychic and would manifest itself physically, too. For a detailed description for that event, I would definitely suggest exploring The Extra Dimensional Wound. [laughs] It's in there. One can initiate themselves into higher understanding and wisdom, but that's an enormous leap for most. It's far better to be little babies attached to mommy, told what they're supposed to be thinking and how they're supposed to be behaving. They're not getting very good instructions, either. Not only are they surrendering their free will, but they're directing their will toward nothing, to bullshit.
Pitchfork: Speaking of The Extra Dimensional Wound, I hear a bit of redemption at the end of the album during "Paths to Chaos"-- "rejoice in the new aeon that is dawning." Do you think people will be surprised by that end?
Autarch: Well, I think the way the record ends, you're penetrating a membrane. You make it out of the tunnel that you entered at the start, and you should exit changed. Every time you go through it, it should be an altered experience. That was the intent. If you've been following what we're about and our message, then it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. I think the surprise might be in what's happening inside the inquisitive listener. It's more so that feeling of coming out and going through that journey and where your head's at when you come through. I don't think it's a ray of hope as much as it is the beginning of an initiation. The direction that we're putting you on has been delivered at that juncture. The gate has opened.
Pitchfork: Is black metal the only musical conduit for that idea?
Autarch: No, I don't think so. I think there's the potential for that feeling to be evoked using other techniques. I haven't heard anyone doing it, though. In the future, I'm interested in exploring something like that myself. I have broad musical tastes, and I like experimental music. I think there's a lot of potential there in experimental music and industrial music that I'm not hearing. That's the paradigm that started my work with Lightning Swords of Death: If there's something absent that's bothering me, I'm going to put it there. I absolutely think that feeling could be evoked using other channels, musically speaking. There are definitely ways to create it in a non-musical environment. I think it's attainable.
Pitchfork: One of my favorite aspects of the album is how well the playing and the production sit together; it's very primal and vintage, but the production pushes it into this bigger space. It becomes a massive rock record.
Autarch: We wanted better production this time. We had the resources to do that. But we also wanted it to sound like it was still recorded in a grave. The Necromorbus Studios and Sverker [famed mixing and mastering engineer Sverker "Necro" Widgren] delivered on that. We recorded at the Bunker, and we played [engineer] John Haddad a lot of the music we had done before so he understood how we do things and the sound that we like. I think everyone is pretty much dialed in to what we're trying to achieve. It has the sound that we were seeking. A lot of bands in black metal go for a sound that sounds like you're freezing your ass off. I didn't really want that sound. We're not from Norway. We're from sunny California. I didn't want it to sound like California, necessarily, but to have a warmer, more hellish sound-- like it was coming from a cauldron that was bubbling over. I had heard that on a lot of work that Necromorbus had done, and that's what put us in their direction.
Pitchfork: We've had a pretty open conversation, but I've noticed in a lot of interviews that you can take image and answers to a dark, reductive place. What do you want the perception of Lightning Swords of Death to be, and how does that impact the way you speak to the press?
Autarch: We're very serious about what we do, and the act of creating this music and performing it is an antagonizing, aggressive act. It's adversarial. There is no other way to explain or express this attack on culture outside of that tone. I'm not even aware it goes that way, but I guess it just does. There are some questions that I think are useless. I like serious questions, and I'll give them serious answers if it's information I'm ready to reveal. I don't want to show the whole hand yet because we're still communicating a lot of transmissions. Hearing it on the record first is more important to me than breaking it down and explaining it to people. I like our listeners to explore the music and even cross-reference it, try to learn as much as they can before they ask things that are in our art. Being in a band like this, in our minds, we've basically gone to war. We are unleashing a weapon on the earth and beyond. For that reason, I bet we sound like a bunch of military strategists at times. [laughs] Which we are, so there you go! If we had big, cheery smiles on our face about the state of the world, I don't think we'd be playing this kind of music. --Grayson Currin

So the LGBTQA Coalition on-campus here at ASU recently put on a "dance for diversity" entitled "Born This Way." We could not not critique this problematic piece of shit homonormative move.
The event is loosely tied around National Coming Out Day, which was conceived by HRC. Just the mention of anything associated with HRC should be enough for anyone cis-identified who supposedly stands in solidarity with trans* and queer individuals to be wary and recognize to check their privilege. Instead, our lovely gay "umbrella" organization that supposedly represents ALL of the letters (including that fantabulous A for "allies") chose to fully endorse political motives with strategies that are highly kyriarchal in nature and spirit. I guess I shouldn't be TOO surprised, since the group is mostly comprised of White homosexuals and has a history of ignoring and appropriating trans* voices.
We must consider the cold politics of representation that permeate the promotion of this event. These signs were everywhere on campus. Despite not being able to attend the meetings and remaining in very little contact with the Coalition, I was reminded about the event several times each day. Along with me, other students were exposed to these messages. Thus this signage contributes to the LGBTQ culture on-campus and sends a message of "this is what it means to be queer."
From the sign, it is obvious that their understanding of queer is positioned along with other privileges, namely able-bodied and thin privilege. Where does this leave queers with bodies that society paints as abnormal or disabled? And what does this strategy of homonormativity and assimilation into "normal" culture do to non-queer students' understanding about queer culture, identities, and desires?
Even the bold title of this event, BORN THIS WAY, exposes the essentialist positioning and universalist rhetoric that the leadership of the Coalition fully believes in and affirms in its most dangerous sense. In past years, shirts were simply spray painted on with "NCOD" and the year on the front, and with the text "Today I'm coming out as ___________________" on the back. This technique provided a way for individuals to truly "come out as" whatever they wanted, though it still forced queers that were not "out" to feel guilt and shame for being within a position in which they were not ready or able to "come out." This year, however, the shirts were printed with big block letters BORN THIS WAY on the front, with a small line at the bottom where people could supposedly write on. This Gaga-esque gimmick only gets better though, because it turns out that the shirts were designed to look like the shirts worn in a Glee episode. Glee has a history of ableism and transphobia, so it's only fitting that the Coalition would model this entire event off of the same fucked-up themes that serve to establish and perpetuate cissexism and homonormativity!
I'm over this bullshit. This does not represent me, and this is not what "queer" means. This is not critical of all social institutions; this is blatant disregard for the oppression of marginalized groups along other axes of domination. This is not a win or sign of diversity; this is full-blown homonormative assimilation.

The aestheticians at Divine Threading Studio treat clients to services as modern as Dermalogica facials and as traditional as henna tattoos. The salon specializes in depilation treatments, which remove hair using either the familiar heated-wax method or the ancient Eastern threading technique that's considered more appealing to people with sensitive skin. The aestheticians also showcase their precise handiwork by applying intricately designed henna tattoos, which weave their way up the hands and arms of brides-to-be or clients who want to test-drive a tattoo design for a few weeks. For a finishing touch, clients can ask for an ear or nose piercing, face accessories as stylish as Mr. Potato Head's during Fashion Week.
Lina Latief—owner of 818 Skincare—is a one-woman beautifying powerhouse. In 2007 she kicked open the doors to her own studio, after working a stint selling French beauty products. Her apprenticeship paid off. Armed with a fistful of certifications and the epidermal insights she gained during that time, she revamps exteriors with all kinds of treatments. In addition to customized Ultimate Facials with cocoa enzymes or organic peels she's expanded into the realm of body wraps, spray tans, and microdermabrasion.
The professional staff at Sandy's Threading & Beauty banishes unwanted hair in quick visits with expert waxing and threading services. Clients discuss aesthetic desires for their brows, which may involve accenting peepers with ultra-thin streaks or shaping tufts into an upside-down mustache to complete optical-illusion costumes. Aestheticians ensnare stray hairs between strands of thread, leaving eyebrows even and clearly defined. For the bikini wax, clients recline as aestheticians apply warm wax to quickly and efficiently remove unwanted hair.
Dr. Jay Amin, MD, helms the hospitable clinic that bears his name, where he advocates for a medical philosophy that fuses technologically based medical science with naturalistic approaches that prize overall wellness. The spa's professional staff maintains a continuing education in skincare and body treatments, offering procedures for body contouring, cellulite reduction, tattoo removal, hair removal, and anti-aging therapy. In addition to expertise in med-spa services, the doctor earned his degree in and has 25 years of experience in internal medicine and is an associate of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Some guests remark that Dr. Jay appears younger than his 54 years, which may be due to practicing the same wellness behaviors he recommends to others or the fountain of youth recently discovered bubbling under the clinic.
Threading is an age-old beauty technique, yet to this day it remains one of most popular (and least painful) ways to remove hair. At YUVA Threading Salon, trained aestheticians use threads to gently lasso and uproot stray peach fuzz wherever it crops up. This simple and effective method eschews harsh chemicals, as well as lasers that might veer off course and accidentally blow up the sun.
YUVA isn't just a threading salon, though. The beauty spot also offers a range of facials, massages, and nail services, as well as traditional waxing for more hirsute areas. In keeping with its mission to combine Eastern and Western beauty practices, YUVA also offers non-permanent henna tattooing that decorates skin in beautifully intricate designs.
Vinita Vineet, owner of Vinita's Beauty & Threading Studio, hails from India, bringing Eastern depilation techniques to the West Coast. She and her staff of trained threading experts whisk hair from men's and women's faces, creating perfectly shaped brows, silky upper lips, and cheeks that are smoother than a newly polished bowling lane. For body parts south of the face, they rely on waxing treatments to remove unwanted hair. Artistically applied henna tattoos adorn arms, legs, and décolletage; henna is also used to tint hair.

According to Rotoworld, the Titans are in search of a veteran at the quarterback position that can "come in and win".
Coach Mike Munchak confirmed that the Titans have every intention of adding a veteran quarterback "that can come in and win."
Munchak is eyeing a quarterback "capable of both teaching and potentially starting." (Sounds like Matt Hasselbeck to us.) "We're not looking for a guy that's not capable of starting and winning games for us," said Munchak. "We need someone that can come in here and win, and then have a nice competition between him and Jake Locker and Rusty (Smith)." The Titans aren't on the lookout for a third-string type veteran. If it isn't Hasselbeck, Donovan McNabb and perhaps Marc Bulger should be high on their list.
The source is John Glennon on twitter.
This adds fuel to the fire for Hasselbeck to the Titans which remains the most consistent story. I've spoken a few times on how I feel that Hasselbeck is still very much a capable quarterback and that he would be the best solution for the Titans at this point. It's in a rookie quarterbacks best interest to have a veteran ease the process of entering the NFL, whether or not that veteran is the starter or a backup is up to the franchise and their goals for that season. It sounds here that the Titans want someone capable of winning now, the fun part of that quote is that there is no mention of whether or now they will lean on the veteran quarterback to win now or not. Don't take the quote at face value. It could easily mean that the franchise would prefer a quarterback with the capability to win now….from the backup position. However, it could also mean that they want to bench Jake Locker for his first season, or even just the beginning of his first season, while playing the veteran. Kerry Collins left a big hole on the team that needs to be filled.
I nominate Hasselbeck. Who do you choose?

SHELTER, Inc. of Contra Costa County Overview
Target demographics: Low-income and homeless men, women and children in Contra Costa County.
Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Facilitate an event for homeless children, such as an art & craft activity, holiday party or trip to a museum.
Geographic areas served: Contra Costa County
Programs: SHELTER, Inc.'s three main program areas:
1) Preventing Homelessness: SHELTER, Inc.'s Homeless Prevention Program helps prevent homelessness for families and individuals on the verge of losing their housing, as well as helps end homelessness for those struggling to regain housing. Last year, 89% of those helped by SHELTER, Inc. were able to stay off the streets and in their homes.
2) Ending the Cycle of Homelessness: SHELTER, Inc. takes homeless families and individuals off the streets, places them in safe, temporary homes and provides services to help them regain self-sufficiency. Services that are critical to success include counseling, tutoring, budgeting and employment services. Last year, 80% of those helped moved to stable, permanent housing.
3) Providing Affordable Housing: Affordable housing means having a safe place to live at a price you can afford. SHELTER, Inc. manages over 225 affordable housing units throughout Contra Costa County, renting to low-income, vulnerable residents, many of whom have otherwise been unable to find housing.
89% of the families who received prevention assistance were able to stay housed, and 80% of the homeless families helped successfully moved into permanent housing.
The following is a story about a family helped through SHELTER, Inc.'s Homeless Prevention Program: A single mother with three children was renting an apartment when the children were in a car accident. Her 13-year-old son was left with extensive physical injuries, and the mother took off time from work to care for him. The family fell behind on rent, and soon needed help to prevent them from losing their home. SHELTER, Inc. helped prevent the family from becoming homeless by providing rental assistance. The mother recently wrote to SHELTER, Inc., "I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. It was very embarrassing for me to ask for help. I didn't want anyone to feel sorry for me, I just needed help to prevent my kids and I from becoming homeless. Thank you a thousand times, on behalf of each of my children and myself. Thank you so very, very much."

The Gift of Time: Extending High School
- Friday, February 18, 2011
"She's not ready."
Silence hung in the air between us. Being brought up with a public school mindset, it was a totally foreign idea to hold back our ninth-grader. My gut told me to put the brakes on, but presenting it to my husband was another story, one that required prayer, research, thoughtful planning, and discussion. The idea had been brewing for months, but it was such a far-out concept that I was hesitant to suggest it.
As our child began ninth grade this year, it quickly became apparent that she needed more time to master several academic concepts. The question started becoming louder in my head: "Why can't we keep her home an extra year?" As my husband and I started discussing all the pros and cons, we agreed that an added year was best for this child. It became an exciting proposition that has turned into a reality.
Perhaps you have a child who isn't cut out to follow the scope and sequence predetermined for him? The reasons vary. Learning disabilities are often cited, as are parents who desire to give their children "extra" education regarding life skills etc. A good dose of prayer is a great first step when deciding if this path might benefit your family. Psalm 139:14 states: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Applying Scripture to this concept provided clarity and established confidence. Our children are unique, and each one is created to live and learn according to his or her personal makeup. Guidelines are important and designed to be helpful, but each child must be considered individually, and serious thought must be given to what kind of plan suits his needs best. It is hard to decide to go against the established norm, but as a parent you know the needs and abilities of your child better than anyone else does.
It turns out that our story is not original. Many families have decided on some version of an extended high school for their children. We attempted research but found there were no books or articles available that supported a five-year high school plan. One fantastic source of encouragement came from online homeschool groups. The advice flowed generously as people shared their thoughts. These groups can be an excellent venue for posing questions and having candid discussions. Ask questions, seek the counsel of others who have experienced similar situations, and be blessed by their input. Check out the laws in your state, you should be protected within your right as a parent to choose an individualized program. For our school records, we simply will start her transcripts with year A, ending four years later with year B.
If you feel led to pursue this path, now it is time to plan a few logistics."Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established." (Proverbs 15:22) Grabbing a pad of paper, make two simple columns titled "Pros" and "Cons." This is essential. Without clarifying why you are making this decision, it will be difficult to stand firm later, when you are questioned. It is highly likely that someone will challenge this plan. Being prepared with your answers makes it easier to defend your choices, should you choose to do so. Remember, you have the right to make this choice; a list may give you an added boost of confidence with which to carry out your plan.
Write down every conceivable challenge and benefit while considering your family's needs. For example, our teen expressed a desire to take two years for her difficult courses such as Biology and Algebra, due to a sincere desire to go slowly and understand them better. She is aware and comfortable with her learning capabilities and knows an extra year will allow her to learn at her own pace. We have spent a considerable amount of time discussing how God created us all to have different skills. She is aware of where her challenges and strengths lie, and she is excited about the five-year plan. Take a look at the sidebar for more information about discussing this with your teen.

Nike Air Max Light – Dark Grey – Metallic Silver – Orange
October 18th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 1 comment
Were it not for the internet, many sneakerheads wouldn't even know what the Nike Air Max Light looks like. You could also argue that the sub-culture wouldn't be as big without the 'net, but that's another argument. What is clear is that this latest pair looks dope in greys, silver and orange. It's sort of like a washed out version of the black and infrared palette we just saw on an Air Max 90 Current, and is currently available from England's Size?

have put us in the interesting position of being limited less by our inability to sense and actuate, to compute and communicate, and to fabricate and manufacture new materials, than by how well we understand, design, and control their interconnection and the resulting complexity. While component-level problems will continue to be important, systems-level problems will be even more so. Further, "components" (e.g., sensors) increasingly need to be viewed as complex systems in their own right. This "system of systems" view is coming to dominate technology at every level. It is, for example, a basic element of DOD's thinking in contexts involving the search for dominant battlefield awareness (DBA), dominant battlefield knowledge (DBK), and long-range precision strike.
At the same time, virtual reality (VR) interfaces, integrated databases, paperless and simulation-based design, virtual prototyping, distributed interactive simulation, synthetic environments, and simultaneous process/product design promise to take complex systems from concept to design. The potential of this still-nascent approach is well appreciated in the engineering and science communities, but what "it" is is not. For want of a better phrase, we refer to the general approach here as "virtual engineering" (VE). VE focuses on the role of M&S in uncertain, heterogeneous, complex, dynamical systems—as distinct from the more conventional applications of M&S. But VE, like M&S, should be viewed as a problem domain, not a solution method.
In this paper, we argue that the enormous potential of the VE vision will not be achieved without a sound theoretical and scientific basis that does not now exist. In considering how to construct such a base, we observe a unifying theme in VE: Complexity is a by-product of designing for reliable predictability in the presence of uncertainty and subject to resource limitations.
A familiar example is smart weapons, where sensors, actuators, and computers are added to counter uncertainties in atmospheric conditions, release conditions, and target movement. Thus, we add complexity (more components, each with increasing sophistication) to reduce uncertainties. But because the components must be built, tested, and then connected, we are introducing not only the potential for great benefits, but also the potential for catastrophic failures in programs and systems. Evaluating these complexity versus controllability tradeoffs is therefore very important, but also can become conceptually and computationally overwhelming.
Because of the critical role VE will play, this technology should be robust, and its strengths and limitations must be clearly understood. The goal of this paper is to discuss the basic technical issues underlying VE in a way accessible to diverse communities—ranging from scientists to policy makers and military commanders. The challenges in doing so are intrinsically difficult issues, intensely mathematical concepts, an incoherent theoretical base, and misleading popular expositions about "complexity."

When I first mentioned Michael Buble's latest single to Rob Lucas, he was worried it was a remake of the sappy After All from the 80's (not sure which version - the Al Jarreau one or Peter Cetera / Cher duet). No worries, this isn't either of those.
Michael Buble teams up with Bryan Adams (the Summer Of '69 guy) for this not too sappy or slow song...

The 2011 Mustang V6 is going where no Mustang has gone before. Not only is it the most fuel-efficient Mustang ever, but it's also the first production car in history to produce more than 300 horsepower and more than 30 mpg highway.
The Mustang's official EPA ratings certify that models equipped with the 305-hp 3.7-liter V6 and available six-speed automatic transmission achieve and estimated 31 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city.* The standard six-speed manual transmission is rated at 29 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city.
"The Mustang engineering team aimed high and, through hard work, achieved fuel economy numbers that elevate Mustang into a class by itself," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford Group Vice President, Global Product Development. "At no other time in Mustang's history – for that matter, in automotive history – have we been able to talk about 305 horsepower and 31 miles per gallon. The Mustang truly is a no-compromises sports car," said Kuzak.
Mustang is powered by a lightweight, all-aluminum 3.7-liter dual-overhead-cam (DOHC) V6 engine that uses advanced engineering to deliver its combination of power and economy. Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) adjusts the valvetrain in microseconds depending on driver inputs, further contributing to the engine's overall efficiency.
The fact that Mustang achieves its top fuel economy rating with the convenience of an automatic transmission also marks a shift in conventional wisdom. Ford engineered a modern six-speed automatic transmission with carefully calibrated gear ratios and shift programs to maximize economy, while still delivering high-horsepower driving fun.
In addition to engine improvements, upgrades to Mustang's body, powertrain and chassis design contribute to the higher fuel economy numbers for 2011. Examples include:
The new 2011 Mustang already has more than 11,000 orders. Half of all the nationwide orders are for the car's fuel-efficient 3.7-liter V6 engine. The 2011 Mustangs are also being equipped with record levels of technology, giving customers the option of choosing navigation, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and rearview cameras.
The new 2011 Mustang goes on sale in the spring of 2010 and will be built at the AutoAlliance International Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.

I currently own 2 Michael Kors watches (Parker Chronograph & Silver Midsized Chronograph) & 1 Baby G watch in black/gold.
I have never tried BB cream before, I hear very mixed reviews about it. :/ Some asian women swear by it, but others say it's much too oily. I'd stick to separating moisturizer & foundation/concealer… It's easier to manage exactly how much of what goes on your skin type.
I took a course at another school that transferred over in place of 176, so no i haven't taken the exact course at UHM. Szostak is great though, he's one of my favorite professors. 175 & 176 cover different material from different regions entirely, so no, 175 is not a prereq for 176. Survey classes are generally not the best in terms of learning, it just serves as a prereq to the 'real' art history classes. If you're just taking it for global & multi. perspec. requirements then it's a good option. :)
What to expect from a survey course: approx 300 students in a giant auditorium listening to one professor. It's obviously not the best learning environment, but what with public education's lack of funds (especially for art-related courses)… It's eh. You get a taste of this and that, which is really the entire purpose of a survey course.
In regards to art 381, Szostak's classes are taught in full lecture style, as in no one talks to anyone… ever. I have only mingled with my peers to sign the attendance sheet. Lol. I do better that way though… When I'm in class I'm in crazy student mode and don't really like to talk to anyone. Lol
Almost all of the art history courses are taught lecture style because it's a history subject and I can't really imagine the students have anything valuable to say lol #straightup. The only course in art history with discussion aspects is ART 395, art historical methodology. When I say the history course is a continuation I don't mean that the history of photography course offered this semester is lower in difficulty, i just meant the time period. I'm sure Andrews will go over the necessary information at the beginning of the semester. Good luck!
Ahaha wow thanks! ^______^ I actually considered cutting my hair like her hairstyle during Miss A's debut (Asymmetrical bob-ish cut). I decided not to until I'm completely done with school & have a real job.
No I don't… Occasionally if I feel really strongly about something I'll add a comment on the discussion thread but in general, no. I check allkpop like 10x a day though… it's become a habit. Guilty pleasure. >< It's really neat though to see so many fans express their thoughts on their fav stars, etc.
btw i love the Craig David cover of Usher's Nice & Slow on your page. One of my favorite songs.
I actually haven't tried using any other brands. >< I have only just recently started using foundation, while i've used only sheer coverage powders before (one from MAC & another from Stila). I'm running quite low on my Bobbi Brown compact, so I might try out another brand in the coming weeks. I'll definitely let you know!

A: >There are no specific points for raising body temperature. There are a number of reasons in Chinese medicine why the body as a whole might be cold or why specific parts of the body may be cold, but the nature of Chinese medicine is that the practitioner treats the person, not necessarily the symptom in itself. Although the practitioner might describe a patient as Yang Deficient, often manifesting in coldness, there are many different ways in which a Yang Deficiency can both manifest and be created. The choice of points would reflect the specific nature of the unique balance of the individual.
There are plentiful lists of 'cookbook' or formula acupuncture on the internet, and there are often generic points which might appear in many of the possible treatments for Yang Deficiency. We always have a concern, however, that used out of specific context these points may have no effect or no lasting effect, and although they are unlikely to cause any harm, our experience is that people tend to walk away from treatments which cause them transient adverse effects, and we believe that point recommendations without specific diagnosis are not to be trusted.
The best advice, if you are experiencing coldness, is to visit a BAcC member local to you and seek their advice from a brief face to face assessment. This will give you a much clearer idea of what may be possible than that which we can give you here.
Q: Can you tell me how acupuncture can help with my neurological condition charcot marie tooth, otherwise kown as peripheral neuropathy
A: The short answer, if we are truthful, is that we are not sure. Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) is a herditary genetic disorder, and while acupuncture treatment may mitigate some of the symptoms which CMT sufferers experience, there is obviously a limit to what a treatment like acupuncture can achieve, unless one took the extraordinary and unsustainable position that as an energy treatment anything was possible.
From a Chinese medicine perspective the kinds of problems which a CMT sufferer experiences would be defined as weaknesses in the flow of energy, called 'qi', and their effects on the muscles and nerves in terms of conductivity and movement. In stroke treatment, for example, in China acupuncture is used as soon as possible after the CVA to reinstate flow where the qi is said to have been blocked, causing paralysis and loss of sensation. A similar principle would apply in looking at some of the manifestations of CMT, without the same rapid onset. The practitioner would be interested in establishing whether the problems were entirely local or whether they were indicative of woder problems in the system. However, with a genetic problem it may well be that the best to be achieved is getting worse slower, so one has to be realistic. That said, it is always important to bear in mind that when someone has a major disorder there is often a tendency to attribute every symptom to it, and we have come across cases where a symptom which may be generated by a condition has arisen contingently alongside it and been much more amenable to treatment than expected.
If you want to find examples of research into the use of acupuncture and peripheral neuropathy, the google search 'ncbi acupuncture peripheral neuropathy' will generate a number of hits for research studies which show encouraging results. However, peripheral neuropathy can have many different causes, and how universalisable these studies are is not that clear.
The best advice, if you are at all unsure about the best way to proceed, is to see if a BAcC member local to you is happy to give up al little time without charge to offer a face to face assessment of what acupuncture treatment may be able to do. Each patient is unique and different, and there may be evidence which on a brief examination may point you more clearly towards, or away from (!)), treatment.
Q: I have macular degeneration and I would like your opinion on the work of Dr. Lundgren and his Santa Fe protocol. Has no one followed this up in the U.K.? If I can obtain any reassurance I would certainly go to the States for treatment.
A: We have been asked about the treatment of macular degeneration before, and our most recent answer was:
We conducted a search and the best we could come up with
a study in Chinese which appears to demonstrate that acupuncture out-performs conventional medical treatment. Otherwise the only direct reference is a Cochrane Review summary which identifies the fact that there is a systematic review or similar on their files as pending
With conditions like this there are a number of difficulties involved in answering the 'does acupuncture work?' question. From a Chinese medicine perspective, although twenty patients may have the same named western condition there could be twenty different treatments. The symptom from this perspective is merely the weak link where an overall imbalance tips something into poor or degenerating function, and although local treatment could achieve some useful short term gains, helping to improve the underlying balance is the key to getting well and staying well. This involves treating the person as much as treating the disease.
Conditions like this can often become unintentional money pits, and it is easy to build up a treatment habit based more on hope than experience. Practitioners are often inclined to fall into the same trap in pursuit of better health for their patients. The best positive result one might achieve could be a decrease in the extent of deterioration, or as one patient put it once, 'do you know, I think I'm getting worse slower'. Of course, this is unverifiable and largely unmeasurable, but there is no doubt that many patients have reported anecdotally that they have exceeded the expectations of their clinicians in maintaining reasonable function longer than anticipated. Naturally there are a great many other factors which make this possible, not least of which is that seeking complementary treatment is itself evidence of a determination to do something which is probably reflected in someone's overall health.
From a Chinese medicine perspective the eyes as a functional unit have close relationships with two or three major Organs (capitalised to differentiate them from the western concept of an organ) and if there is evidence of a generalised weakness in relevant related Organic functions, a practitioner might think that there is some hope that treatment may be of value. There is also plenty of discussion in Chinese texts about local needling and its potential to halt or even slightly reverse decline.
We have to be realistic, though. The kind of deterioration which this condition causes is well-documented as likely to continue, and it would be a foolish practitioner who tried to instil too much optimism in a prospective patient about the chances of major improvement. However, it is always worth while talking to a BAcC member local to you, and we are sure that our members will be only to happy to give you advice on the basis of a brief face to face assessment.
We are aware of the work of the clinic you mention, as well as two or three similar clinics in India. However, we do not have enough independent corroboration of the results claimed to offer a view, although we have to say that the techniques in the Santa Fe Protocol are not traditional acupuncture. The use of ear acupuncture, electroacupuncture and scalp acupuncture are used by an increasing number of BAcC members, but are not within the mainstream traditional acupuncture training.
We are sorry not to be able to give you more positive advice, but it would be remiss of us to support something whose provenance we cannot check. The best we can offer by way of advice is that you try to find someone who has undergone the treatment with whom you can discuss their experience. In our experience American blog sites abound, and if someone has had a very good, or indeed very bad, experience, you are certain to be able to read about it and make contact.
Q: My coctor told me I have tennis elbow. He offered no medication but told me to apply Ibugel which I have continued to do. I am still in a lot of pain could acupuncture cure this and roughly how many sessions would it take.
A:Somewhat astonishingly we have realised that no-one has asked this question in the three years during which we have been providing this service. This runs counter to our clinical experience, where this is one of the more established reasons for seeking acupuncture treatment.
We do have a factsheet
which makes encouraging noises about the small number of studies which appear to demonstrate that acupuncture may be an effective way to treat the condition.The problem which bedevils some of the studies, and not just in studies of tennis elbow, is that many are Chinese and start from the premise that acupuncture works and are intended to establish what works best. This means that from a western medical point of view the studies are flawed as evidence on which one could base a recommendation.
However, our clinical experience is that this is a condition which responds quickly if it is going to respond. This particular expert tends to draw a line at three or occasionally four sessionbs if there has been no sustained improvement. There can sometimes be a few good days followed by a reversion to roughly status quo, and unless the point of return starts to creep upwards, it may be better to look at alternatives. That's about as far as we would commit on the number of treatments necessary, and it is best practice for many conditions to review progress after four or five sessions to see whether there has been sustained improvement. For this extremely clear outcome measures are necessary.
The best advice we can offer, and we do for many problems, is to visit a BAcC member local to you for a brief face to face assessment. This will give you a really clear idea of what might be possible, and will enable the practitioner to have a quick look at the wider picture to see what else, if anything, may be hindering the natural process of healing.
There may be one or two activities you will be asked to avoid while the elboe recovers, though. Especially tennis!
Q: Can acupuncture help relieve symptoms of painful bladder syndrome / interstitial cystitis?
A: Rather surprisingly, there is very little research into this problem. This came as something of a surprise to us because we have colleagues who have made this an area of special interest for a number of years, and we had assumed that this would have been evidence of a more general interest in researching this problem. The most recent study we could find
is typical of many areas of research, where what is available is an extended case report which is suggestive of benefit but a long way short of the standards of proof accepted in the West for claims of efficacy.
However, this does not mean that Chinese medicine has nothing to offer. Problems like this are not modern inventions, and there are a number of recognised syndromes within one of the prevailing styles of Chinese acupuncture which address the problem directly. However, it has to be said that the underlying premise of traditional Chinese medicine is that it treats the person, not the disease, and the practitioner will be interested in seeing the overall pictuire, the backdrop against which the problem developed. This is why, to much puzzlement in the West, the same named condition in twenty people might be treated in twenty entirely different ways. Symptoms are not necessarily the same as the disease, but usually regarded only as evidence that the system as a whole is out of balance.
The main issue with problems such as interstitial cystitis is that they can have good and bad patches, and if someone does decide to have treatment it can be difficult on occasion to work out whether a good run is just simply a good run or whether the treatment is working. Outcome measures are important, but so is regular review of progress and also careful consideration of whether a good patch is down to treatment or not. We have seen a number of case over the years where progress has been written off as 'just a random good run' where practitioners have been less careful about agreeing reliable outcome measures, and this is an opportunity missed.
The best advice we can give, though, is to visit a BAcC member local to you to see whether in their view there is something to be done for you. We are confident that in many cases there will be some positive change but the unknown factor is how much and how sustainable the change is.
