Just thought I'd post a couple new shots, now that I'm starting to find the time to do a bit more modeling again. These are WIPs of the Klingon briefing room, seen in "The Time Trap" in TAS; the general layout of the room is based upon what was seen in the episode, but I'm trying to flesh out the design a bit. There will be considerably more detail when this is done, as there will be the equivalents of
's tabletop viewer and comm stations, as well as hardware and comm screens on the walls and at the doorways.
Original scene from episode
(Screenshot courtesy TrekCore.com)
The chairs used are nothing like those in the episode; I designed them with this project in mind, and added a more robust chair on the long edge of the table where I consider the ship's captain would normally sit, in the place of honor.
Standard chair
Captain's chair
(removed the arms for the briefing room)
It's hard to see in this shot, but the briefing room has a cathedral ceiling, with a large lighting module hanging directly over the table; the image from the episode gave me the impression that this room was considerably larger and more impressive than Starfleet's utilitarian architecture.
I really have learned to like TAS.
I didn't see it when it originally aired, and had only seen bits and pieces in reruns.
But about a year and a half ago I bought a set of the LaserDiscs online along with a LaserDisc player.
I came to really enjoy them.
I'm hoping one day fans will be able to reasonalbly easily create their own episodes via some blend of 3D/Cartoon animation.
Some of the non-photo, yet near-photo 3D art and clips I've seen on the net seem to be less satisfying then actual cartoons though.
Someone suggested once - can't take credit for it myself - that perhaps cartoons tend to cause less problems with immersion
because more realistic 3D animation causes you to snap in and out of your level of "suspension of disbelief"
due to the fact that at so many moments it looks almost real that that
near reality cause one to be distracted.
Whereas while watching a simpler cartoon, after a couple of minutes you have just accepted that you are viewing an artificial universe, and maintain the suspension of disbelief throughout.
To ramble a bit less and perhaps ask you an actual constructive question...
Are there any 3D animation tools that can take a 3D animation and make the characters' interactions appear to have been drawn in 2D?
Essentially allowing one to script the creation of 2D animation?
Not that having a team of artist put together such an animation the traditional hand drawn way might not be better,
such a routine could be a lot less labor intensive though, issues of artistic tradition aside...

The release of the A-F report cards last month was not popular among teachers and administrators, but one school — an online charter school — is suing because it hasn't received its report card.
Online charter school in Oklahoma files lawsuit over A-F report card
Epic One on One, a primarily online school with thousands of students enrolled across Oklahoma, filed the lawsuit Nov. 7 after state Education Department officials refused to release its report card, said Brad Clark, an attorney representing the school.
The charter school was founded in 2011, state records show, and received a D grade on its first report card.
Court records show that parts of the lawsuit have been worked out, but the school has yet to receive its report card.
Tricia Pemberton, a spokeswoman for the state Education Department, said all other schools have received grades.
Clark said the lawsuit was filed essentially for two reasons.
"The school utilizes the report card and performance data to assist in performance improvement, so receiving the data and the A-F Report Card on a timely basis in order to not delay performance improvement efforts is critical to the school," Clark said in a statement to The Oklahoman.
"Also, the school's families were expecting the release of the report card."
Pemberton said Epic One on One's report card is being withheld because the state agency "is still verifying data for this school."
"This is consistent with SBE rules," she said.
State schools Superintendent Janet Barresi, who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, wrote a letter to Epic One on One administrators in October, explaining why the school would not be getting a report card.
"The Oklahoma State Department of Education is in receipt of information that leads me to question the validity and the integrity of EPIC Charter School's assessment data; the assessment data upon which the A-F report card is based," Barresi wrote in the letter dated Oct. 21.

There is a great scarcity online for quality Stihl chain saw reviews. There are several small, one paragraph review-like posts, but very, very few of these are truly informative. Every version of every chain saw needs to be documented - and documented well. These have to separate from official Stihl documents as well - no one needs a Stihl press release in the place of a quality review.
The Andreas Stihl Company has been making chain saws in one form or another for over 80 years. One thing that you can be absolutely sure of regarding Stihl is that they love to manufacture a new model number. Even their founder, Andreas Stihl, waited only three years after he invented the first electric chain saw before he unveiled his new version, the gas powered chain saw in 1929.
In 2001, Stihl did the unthinkable, and they revamped their entire modeling system. Now when a logger went into a local dealer to purchase a beloved 026, they were instead shown to the MS 260. Same chain saw, new model number designation. This of course created a bit of turmoil at the time. It also created an easily definable date for separating Stihl chain saws into the older models and the newer models.Are you looking for old stihl model chainsaw reviews?
As a side note, the "MS" in the new chain saw model number simply stands for "Motor Schlagen" which is German for "chain saw." They are simply saying that the old 036 is now "chain saw" 360 - which became the MS 361, which became the MS 362, which is now also available as the MS 362 C-Q. (Stihl just loves a new model number!)
Of course, each model number and variation thereof needs its own quality chain saw reviews. You simply cannot read a review about the MS 440 and expect to have all the information that you need regarding the MS 441 C-Q Stihl Magnum - and you cannot read a review about the MS 192 in order to find the information for the MS 192 T. Each and every chain saw must have its own review.
Currently, Stihl has broken down their chain saws into five distinct categories:
Stihl is not going to stop creating new chain saws. As the technology permits, Stihl is going to continue to manufacture lighter, safer, and more powerful chain saws.
The current push at Stihl is to create "green" chain saws and expect to see more and more of the Stihl "Caring for Nature" seal. These chain saws include advanced engine technology for reduced engine emissions and lower fuel consumption. Expect to see this type of chain saw completely replace all the current chain saw models. This will, of course, create a new need for more Stihl chain saw reviews.

Father Arrested at School for Disorderly Conduct when Disagreeing with School Policy
A Tennessee father was arrested for disorderly conduct last week after objecting to an official school policy that apparently prohibited him from picking up his children on foot ahead of the majority of parents picking their children up in their cars.
The new student pick-up policy, which reportedly started last week, says that parents can only pick up their children after 2 p.m. by waiting in a line of cars until everyone is released at 2:35 p.m. In this particular case, the parent was walking, so it wouldn't make much sense to wait in the line of cars.

As of Thursday, July 4, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
PENSACOLA --Kyle Tait's Fourth of July will be spent the same way as the rest of this holiday week --at a minor league ball park.
It's how the 2006 South Gwinnett grad's life has gone for close to three years now, since he improbably landed the Mississippi Braves' radio play-by-play job fresh out of college. He's at the ballpark for 140 games per year, including a four-game series that starts today in Birmingham, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'm lucky because a lot of people my age are trying to get their first break in pro ball," Tait, who recently turned 25, said last week after an M-Braves game in Pensacola, Fla.
Now a stable radio voice for the Atlanta Braves' Class AA franchise, Tait has settled in after his swift rise from calling Georgia Tech baseball games as a student on WREK (a role that incredibly came to him when a last-minute fill-in was needed for a 2007 game) to being two steps away from the major leagues. He went to Tech with plans to be a high school calculus teacher, but the broadcasting path opened up, much like the road to his current job did.
Some handy networking that began with one of his mentors, longtime Tech and Atlanta Falcons voice Wes Durham, landed him the gig with the M-Braves in 2011, when he was just 22.
"That first year in 2011 was such a whirlwind, 22 years old and living my dream, sort of thrust into this minor league baseball thing," Tait said. "Since then, it's been a blast. The game has slowed down for me a lot, which is good because when you're talking about it a mile a minute and keeping people up to date on what's happening, it's important for the game to be coming at you a lot slower. I feel like I've made a lot of strides in my broadcasting."
The improvements have come predominantly thanks to practice.
Tait will have called more than 400 M-Braves games by the time this season, his third, ends. In four seasons at Tech, he worked just 200 games total, typically with off days in between, so the rapid-fire attack of pro games has been a big adjustment.
Like most announcers at his level, Tait works nearly every broadcast by himself. He was solo the first two seasons, but has an intern for two innings per game this season for home games.
But most of his time is spent keeping the broadcast flowing, whether it's a blowout or a rain delay.
"If you're having a bad day in this business, the listeners don't care," Tait said. "The listeners want their baseball and you have to have the same personality on the air every night. There are nights when you're sick, nights when you're tired, nights when you frankly just don't want to watch baseball. It's a long schedule. But you have to find a way to stay entertaining and stay chipper on the air and find positive things to talk about. It's not about you, it's about the games and the players."
Speaking of the players, Tait is like them in at least one way. His aim is to reach the major leagues as a play-by-play voice.
The good news:an announcer's longevity in the business stretches decades longer than a player's career.
The bad news: play-by-play openings in the major leagues are even more limited than a player's spots.
"Everybody's goal, the players, the coaches, the umpires or me, everybody wants to make the big leagues," Tait said. "The show is the ultimate goal. That's been an adjustment to me. When you're in college baseball, the goal is to make it to minor league ball. You don't realize that the next step after that is the big leagues because that seems so far away. For me, that first year I had to readjust and figure out what my goals from that point on were and move along.
"It was tough for me to make that transition out of college and into AA so quickly, and for me to figure out everybody around me is interested in getting to the big leagues. For me, I'm living my dream. I'm in the minor leagues. Eventually those goals switched when I realized I was good at what I did here, but there was that learning process.
"It's the same thing for a college player being drafted and immediately put in AA, there's a learning curve. I feel like I'm at a point where I'm happy with my broadcasts. Every day is a chance to improve and I hope I can keep working hard, covering the team, networking and hope that leads to a major league job. But there's no guarantee. The good news is I have a lot longer to develop as a broadcaster than the players do."
Most of Tait's family is still in metro Atlanta, save for his brother, who listens to his game broadcasts and watches him on Skype because he currently lives in China.
Meanwhile, Tait has found a nice temporary home in Jackson, Miss., where he and his wife, Megan (they were married in March), call home. She is understanding of his job and the travel it entails, the long bus rides that he faces all season long.
Professionally, Tait is in a good spot as well. He will be 25 with three years of AA play-by-play experience, a good jump on his peers and a nice start to what he hopes is a long career of broadcasting.
"I love the baseball," Tait said. "I love getting paid to watch the game every day."

Living History: Before heading to Utah, Auerbach brothers went to gold country
In 1863, California's Rabbit Creek was gold country. The Auerbach brothers, German Jewish immigrants from Prussia, ran a mercantile shop there for gold miners. They set their sights on Utah. But first, Frederick, Theodore and 16-year-old Samuel had to face the vicissitudes unique to Western lore.
Rabbit Creek was the trading headquarters for thousands of gold-struck miners within a 20-mile radius from Marysville and Poker Flat to Brandy City and American House. Gold yields escalated into the millions, and robberies along the major stagecoach route were common.
The Auerbach main store in Rabbit Creek was also the gathering place for many prominent miners, businessmen and freighters. Frederick often helped the men with business dealings and trade. His acumen earned their trust. Many left their gold dust, nuggets and bullion with him for safekeeping.
Strong and adventurous, Theodore rode a large mule with a Mexican-style saddle to transport gold dust from Port Wine to Rabbit Creek. He secured a safe box in front of him with pistols strapped on each side. On some occasions he was accompanied by guards rough men armed with sawed-off rifles.
"Paper money was frequently used but was not worth face value," Samuel recorded in unpublished memoirs. "Gold dust was current. Every merchant had a pair of scales sitting on the counter. A pinch of gold dust as much as could be held between the thumb and index finger was worth two bits, or 25 cents."
Auerbach's carried a general line of dry goods from clothing and mining supplies to blankets, drugs, and snowshoes. Come winter in Rabbit Creek, miners from miles around would compete in snowshoe speed racing. They packed hotels, gambling halls and saloons. Excitement ran high, liquor flowed, bets were made, and merchants prospered.
"But storing large amounts of treasure in our safe always gave me apprehension," Samuel wrote.
One night after minding the store his brothers were away on business Samuel fell asleep in the back of the shop. Awakened by noises, he saw two intruders and the barrel of a pistol pointed at him.
"The size of a cannon," he wrote, "blacker and deeper than I had ever imagined a pistol could be. The men appeared to be 8 feet tall."
Ordered to open the safe, Samuel pleaded ignorance. "I told them I didn't know the combination. That my brother would never trust anyone with it," he wrote. "They threatened to shoot me. They cursed profusely. Tied my feet and hands. Fastened a bandana handkerchief across my mouth. And started drilling the safe door for what seemed like hours."
It was actually mere minutes.
"A group of late home-goers stopped to talk near the store entrance where we kept a lantern burning all night," Samuel explained. Fearful of detection, the safecrackers dropped what they were doing and fled.
Samuel wriggled free and found the sheriff. An investigation ensued. The men were never found. It was days before Samuel could get a good night's sleep.
Almost simultaneously, the Auerbachs opened a series of stores. They sold merchandise on commission throughout the Western states, including Virginia City and Helena, Mont., and Fort Bridger in Utah. They grubstaked miners, held mining interests, purchased a sawmill and a 30-pack mule train.
"Some investments were disastrous from a financial standpoint," Samuel wrote. "But they carried with them a heap of education and valuable experience, which in later life was of great benefit to us."
In 1864, the Auerbachs left the California gold fields for Utah.
"We accounted for our losses, paid our bills and established our credit and reputation," Samuel wrote. "Fred drove a mountain schooner to Great Salt Lake City in March and upon arriving was favorably impressed."
Self-taught and articulate in English, the pioneer merchant brothers, who developed one of the first department stores in the West, were not only primed for Utah but also prepared to take on the myriad challenges ahead.

Carbon County seniors who have a problem with a business may be able to resolve the matter by returning the product or making a telephone call.
In some instances, consumers may opt to write a letter of complaint, according to AARP.
However, before doing anything, people should decide what they want the company to do: Refund money, repair the product or exchange the item for a new one.
Seniors opting to make complaint telephone calls should:
Look for a toll-free customer service number on the product's package. Consumers may also call toll-free directory assistance at 1-800-555-1212 to see if the company has a listed number.
Ask to speak to the consumer affairs or customer relations department or the head of the company if there is no consumer affairs office.
Consumers should calmly and concisely describe the problem and what action they would like the company to take.
People should keep notes detailing who they spoke with, what the company representative said, the date and time. People should also ask when they may expect a response.
If the issue is not resolved and a second call is made, consumers should ask for the name of the person's supervisor so that they can write a letter to him or her.
Seniors sending a complaint letter or e-mail should:
Type the letter and be specific. Be sure to include name, address, phone number and e-mail address. Include company account numbers if applicable.
People should be reasonable and persistent, not angry or threatening, and include copies of any relevant documents. Consumers should also keep a copy of the complaint letter.
File a complaint with the state consumer protection office, Utah Better Business Bureau or the state agency that regulates the industry or product if the company doesn't resolve a problem in a reasonable time.
Additional options include:
Stopping payment on a check.
Disputing charges through credit card companies. Consumers do not have to pay the charges while the bill is in dispute, but the interest will still accrue.
In additions, Carbon County seniors may contact the "Write-A-Wrong" program of AARP's Legal Counsel for the Elderly Inc. The program, established to help older persons resolve consumer problems, will organize and write letters as well as provide contact information for the company with which people have a dispute. Write-A-Wrong is free to individuals older than 60 years of age with an income totalling less than $20,000 and to families with an income of less than $25,000.

Media & Communication Department
Career of the Month
The Department is proud to feature monthly profiles of Media & Communication Department Alums, describing their individual career paths and sharing tips with students on how to plan for their own future careers. Profiles focus on the wide range of careers that our liberal arts oriented program has helped to launch.
This month the spotlight is on Political Communication, featuring a profile of Elizabeth Kelsey Nevitt, Class of 2004. Elizabeth returned to Walson Hall in Spring 2011 for AlumniWeek.
Elizabeth Kelsey Nevitt, '04
Elizabeth Kelsey Nevitt describes herself as the communication person in a world full of political science majors. Elizabeth explains that her media and communication major combined with a political science major separated her from the crowd. A lobbyist on energy and climate policy, Elizabeth says that she was bitten by the political bug during her freshman year when she became interested in the 2000 Bush-Gore presidential election. To pursue that interest, she enrolled in Muhlenberg's Washington Semester during her junior year, and interned for a D.C. public relations firm that specialized in politics and public affairs.
Her first job, working at the University of Michigan Government Relations department, convinced her that she wanted to specialize in policy work. She headed to graduate school and received a master's degree in Political Management from George Washington University.
Elizabeth has also worked for the John Kerry for President campaign as well as a policy specialist for the U.S House of Representatives.
Elizabeth wanted a career where she could have a direct impact on policy making. She strived for something with social meaning, and considers herself fortunate to know that she is having a positive impact on the world. Elizabeth says that she is always reverting back to the concepts that she learned in her communication and political science classes at Muhlenberg.
She considers writing to be the most important skill for college graduates to master. Elizabeth says that "If your writing is good, make it great. It your writing is great, make it stellar!" Elizabeth communicates specific ideas everyday that could easily be misinterpreted if her writing was not clear and accurate. She is also frequently called upon to put extremely complicated topics into easy to understand language that is accessible to the general public. She says precision and clarity in writing enhances one's credibility, which in turn, builds trust and confidence.
In politics, Elizabeth says, strategic communication skills and relationship building is everything; and it can often take years to foster specific relationships. Elizabeth tells students to always "take the opportunities that are presented to you!"

Selected as second runner-up for the Book Award given by the North American Society for Social Philosophy
Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677)often recognized as the first modern Jewish thinkerwas also a founder of modern liberal political philosophy. This book is the first to connect systematically these two aspects of Spinoza's legacy. Steven B. Smith shows that Spinoza was a politically engaged theorist who both advocated and embodied a new conception of the emancipated individual, a thinker who decisively influenced such diverse movements as the Enlightenment, liberalism, and political Zionism.Focusing on Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise, Smith argues that Spinoza was the first thinker of note to make the civil status of Jews and Judaism (what later became known as the Jewish Question) an essential ingredient of modern political thought. Before Marx or Freud, Smith notes, Spinoza recast Judaism to include the liberal values of autonomy and emancipation from tradition. Smith examines the circumstances of Spinoza's excommunication from the Jewish community of Amsterdam, his skeptical assault on the authority of Scripture, his transformation of Mosaic prophecy into a progressive philosophy of history, his use of the language of natural right and the social contract to defend democratic political institutions, and his comprehensive comparison of the ancient Hebrew commonwealth and the modern commercial republic. According to Smith, Spinoza's Treatise represents a classic defense of religious toleration and intellectual freedom, showing them to be necessary foundations for political stability and liberal regimes. In this study Smith examines Spinoza's solution to the Jewish Question and asks whether a Judaism, so conceived, can long survive.
Steven B. Smith is professor of political science and Master of Branford College at Yale University.

ITV1 or Eurosport to watch the Tour this weekend
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
Which will it be this weekend ITV1 or Eurosport? I'm torn when I'm at work I watch Eurosport when I'm at home I usually watch ITV because we don't have Eurosport (although the ITV4 signal isn't great). I prefer Eurosport - David Harmon and Sean Kelly are a great team but flicking on ITV1 is so easy compared to watching on a laptop. Which one are you going to go for?
Easy-dont understand about bike racing and want to know why teams/riders do this and that then its ITV. Want more action, less stupid waffle and less adverts then its Eurosport with the two ronnies that is Harmon and Kelly....

Watch ITV and play PhilandPaul Bingo/Drinking Game
How many times they mention how old Peter Sagan/Chris Horner/George Hincape is
How many times they spout plausible bullshit (Tourmalet/Dordogne)
How many times they say a rider has become 'unhitched'
Watch Eurosport and listen the genius of Sean Kelly

The ITV guys get worse every year, the number of time they've gotten stuff wrong this year is mad, at one point last week Liggett got excited because he though Nibali had made up 2 and a half minutes only to remember shortly after that Nibali had only just attacked, was 15 seconds up the road and the time gap to Rolland was what was showing up as 2 and half minutes...
Re 'seeing more action' surely ITV and Eurosport have exactly the same feed and exactly the same TV images? The only difference would be commentary, 'in studio' pieces and possible regularity of ad-breaks.
I'm also getting annoyed by how often Liggett/Sherwen repeat themselves ("EBH, also known as Bo-dog", "Horner is old", "Sagan/Pinot is young" etc etc) but to give them credit, there's been some boring stages and how much is there really to talk about over the course of 6 hours? There's only so many interesting French landmarks they can point out.

I hate his voice and what he says.
I like Liggets voice though.
And to the above of ITV's HD pictures, just get Eurosport HD.

Guidelines for Evaluating Work with Digital Media in the Modern Languages (archived)
The following guidelines, which deal with the hiring, reappointment, tenure, and promotion processes, are designed to help departments and faculty members implement effective evaluation procedures.
Digital media have created new opportunities for scholarship, teaching, and service, as well as new venues for research, communication, and academic community. Information technology is an integral part of the intellectual environment for a growing number of humanities faculty members. Moreover, digital media have expanded the scope of textual representation and analysis to include, for example, image and sound. These innovations have considerably broadened the notion of "text" and "textual studies," the traditional purview of modern language departments.
While the use of computers in the modern languages is not a new phenomenon, the popular success of information networks like the World Wide Web, coupled with the proliferation of advanced multimedia tools, has resulted in an outpouring of critical publications, applied scholarship, and curricular innovation. Humanists are not only adopting new technologies but are also actively collaborating with technical experts in fields such as image processing, document encoding, and information science. Academic work in digital media should be evaluated in the light of these rapidly changing institutional and professional contexts, and departments should recognize that some traditional notions of scholarship, teaching, and service are being redefined.
Institutions and, when appropriate, departments should develop their own written guidelines so that faculty members engaged in research and teaching with digital media can be adequately and fairly evaluated and rewarded. Institutions should also take care to grant appropriate credit to faculty members for technology projects in teaching, research, and service, while recognizing that because many projects cross the boundaries between these traditional areas, faculty members should receive proportionate credit in more than one relevant area for their intellectual work. Written guidelines must provide clear directions for appointment, reappointment, merit increases, tenure, and promotion and should take into consideration the growing number of resources for evaluating digital scholarship. New guidelines for reappointment, tenure, and promotion appear regularly. The Committee on Information Technology recommends that those persons interested in such guidelines search for documents on evaluating work with digital media at comparable institutions. A keyword search in the .edu or .org domain might include technology and any of the following: tenure, scholarship, evaluation, promotion, peer review, and so on.
Guidelines for Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure Committees
Guidelines for Candidates and Faculty Members
The pace of technological change makes it impossible for any one set of guidelines to account completely for the ways digital media and the work done with them is influencing modern languages and literatures. The principle underlying these guidelines is that when institutions seek work with digital media and faculty members express interest in it, the institution must give full regard to this work when faculty members are hired or considered for reappointment, tenure, and promotion.
These guidelines were approved by the MLA Executive Council at its 19-20 May 2000 meeting and were last reviewed by the Committee on Information Technology in November 2002.

Hi there Ladies and Gentlemen. I spent a lot of my youth misguided and uninformed playing completely inferior FPS games and find it hard to really apply myself to Quake (same for anything for that matter) anyway, I just managed to, at least temporarily, fix the lag issues with Germany and have a lot more flexibility in the games I can play and am wondering if anyone can give me criticism on my game. Right now I'll post my CFG and see what you guys think, it's nowt special, had some fun writing it and I've not changed much in the last 6 months or so.
I use neither WASD or ESDF... I use super leet OKL'COLON' as it offers 2 things, more mouse mat area as I shift the keyboard over to the left to make it comfortable, and it leaves me with a LOT more option for my thumbs to do in game which, since using Mouse 2 to jump, is a lot more availble for other things. Generally just using obscure guns on there like GL, MG, Gauntlet. I use the holy triforce of RL, LG and RG on mousescrolls and the forwardmost side mouse button, do you think that I would benefit from placing them on my keyboard as I do sacrifice a small amount of mouse stability to placing them there.
I will upload some demo's when I get a streak of 3 games of not playing like a complete artard.

Comments about Bulbrite 60 Watt, 120 Volt T3 Clear Chroma Medium Bulb:
This bulb is not only excellent in terms of light output and life but meet my exact need. I have a couple of pinions in my kitchen that have flared glass shades. A regular E26 bulb was too long and hung below the decorative glass, which pretty much defeated the purpose of having nice glass shades. This bulb snugs right up inside the shade and can't be seen at all. Not to mention they are a bit brighter than normal (I have the clear) so it gives me a bit more latitude on how I use my dimmer. I've already stocked up on extras for when they finally burn out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

According the APEST assessment, I am a PT or gifted in the Prophetic and Teaching. The characteristics of this combination are as follows:
- Questions what has become normative.
- Disturbs common thinking and practices.
- Agitates for positive change.
- Desires learning for purposes to influence.
- Discerns the message of Truth
- Seeks to ensure an authentic response to Truth
- Core issue is one's relationship with God
- Urgency felt now, in the moment, "this must happen."
- Comfortable dismantling the present for future hope
- Deep compassion for the cause of the people
- Inspires all people to respond to God's message
- May communicate creatively to get message across
It seems that my top 12 blog posts of 2012 have centered around those characteristics. In truth, I never know what is going to make people react the way they do, but I am glad for the discussions. Many have contacted me offline to say how these writings have helped them in their personal faith and fellowships. Controversy for controversy sake is not helpful for the body of Christ, but sometimes divisions are helpful to show which among the body are recognized by God. (1 Corinthians 11:19) Some of these posts have comments where folks get what would be considered a bit nasty with others. I've done my best to maintain healthy and productive exchanges without disparaging the brethren. And so, in the order of most read/commented on:
2. Missions, Defining "Unreached," and Marginalizing People Groups
3. Shouldn't We Be Terminating Life Support for the "Sinner's Prayer?"
4. Paul's Engagement of the Athenians on Mars Hill, Epic Ministry Fail?
5. On the Subjectivity of the Spirit and the Objective Written Scriptures
6. The Rejection of The Gospel is a "Decision."
7. I'm Sorry, Your First Baptism Doesn't Count. You'll Have to be Baptized Again!
8. Obey your "Pastors," and submit to their authority… Wait a minute? Where's that in the Bible?
9. The Merits and Demerits of Individual Discipleship.
10. Apologetics is not about "Defending the Faith."
11. The Anti-Scripture Scriptures – Part IV
12. Christian Missions, Making Disciples & Cultural Contamination.

Port Theatre Revitalization
October 5, 2011
On June 20, 1938, the Port Theatre opened for its first movie presentation, and the residents of Port St. Joe have engaged in a love affair with the building ever since. People still recall the movies they saw such as "Lassie Come Home" in 1944 or "The Greatest Show on Earth" in 1952. Musicals, live theater, and community benefits and events were also held until the theatre closed around 1967. Since then, the building has fallen into disrepair, battered by time and hurricanes. While some improvements were made by recent owners Paula and Wade Clark, the building today remains closed and unattended, in stark contrast to the expressed desire and wishful thinking of many locals through the years.
In June 2003, the Port Theatre was officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Even through years of neglect, the following appeared in a letter from the Florida Department of State: "To qualify forlisting in the National Register, a property must not only be shown to have a documented area of historic significance, it must also retain physical integrity. The theatre, although subjected to damage from two hurricanes, has retained its historic character. The entry, lobby, auditorium, reconstructed balcony, projection room, manager's apartment, and circulation patterns characteristic of a public theatre remain intact." The United States Department of the Interior notes, "The Art Deco Style treatment of the façade is largely intact and still maintains a distinct and significant presence on the main commercial thoroughfare of Port St. Joe."Also noted are the acoustics "within the three-story auditorium space is exceptional."
For the past two years, a steering committed dedicated to the revitalization of the historic Port Theatre hasheld meetings with local and regional stakeholders and professionals. The result is the formation of the board for the Port Theatre Art & Culture Center, a group dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of thislocal treasure and historic resource. The Articles of Incorporation have already been submitted, and the nonprofit (501 (c)(3) status will be obtained prior to the end of the year.
A collaborative framework provides a distinct difference in this effort. The Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition has pledged start-up funds in support of an art and culture center in Gulf County. The FCCC envisions an exhibition space for their Plein Air annual event, which draws visitors from across the country. The Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency has also pledged support as the theatre is within the redevelopment area and is a major component of their planning. Revitalization of the theatre will serve as an economic generator to the downtown area as well as the entire region.
The first meeting of the PTACC Board was held last week, and Directors shared their vision for the theater:a revitalization that honors the legacy of the theatre, a multi-use facility that will serve the communityin a multitude of ways and appeals to all age groups, a cultural hub for the community, programming tounite families, a tourist attraction, a showcase for local talent, and a place to be inspired, and have fun—allaccomplished through a grass-roots community effort.
The PTACC Board looks forward to working with the community to make the dream of reopening the Port Theatre a reality. In time, opportunities will be available to serve on committees to help in the planning,design, programming, and historic preservation. In the meantime, please offer any ideas or assistance. Remembrances, oral histories, old photos and relics of the theatre would be welcome.
Group Wants to Restore Port Theater to Former Glory

The Port Theater has been dormant for over four decades, but now a group of local business owners and art organizations want to restore it to its former glory.

The only effective type of narrow angle glaucoma treatment is called peripheral iridectomy – a laser procedure that helps to create a wide iris opening so that the aqueous fluid can move more easily. Still severe pain symptoms of the disease are prevented with the help of special medications, including prostaglandins, parasympathomimetics or hyperosmotic agents.
The main components of these remedies such as bimatoprost, travoprost, latanoprost, demecarium, pilocarpine, echothiophate, isoflurophate and others help to reduce eye pressure and to widen an iris for a while. Ophthalmologists sometimes prescribe the combination of the enlisted drugs to treat the narrow angle glaucoma symptoms. In certain cases osmotic agents are also possible, including such components as mannitol and isosorbide that quickly provide relief from sudden attacks of glaucoma.
Still some medications may have serious side effects, including low blood pressure, vomiting, fatigue, worsening of emphysema or asthma, etc. Among allergic reactions one may find only the eye redness or irritation. In case of experiencing severe side effects or allergic reactions the usage of medications should be stopped immediately.
Though narrow angle glaucoma occurs only in 10% of all glaucoma sufferers it is one of the most severe types of the disease that requires immediate professional treatment.

This only begins to show the reasons for anger at the end of a marriage!
You don't have to go through this process alone. A qualified psychotherapist or counselor can help you move through the stages past the anger and guilt, and will try to keep you from getting stuck along the way. (Professional counseling can be especially helpful in the denial and anger stages for some.) Loving friends and family support are also invaluable.

Toxic leaders torment subordinates to the detriment of an organization's mission and the long-term health and welfare of the people in it. Their behavior redirects employee efforts from mission accomplishment to self-protection and survival behaviors, undermining the organization. With increased need and decreased funding, nonprofit professionals need to innovate to ensure their communities are appropriately and sufficiently sustained. However, to embrace this kind of risk-taking and innovation, employees need supportive leadership. Instead, toxic leadership undermines employees.
Two measures of organizational success that focus on employee activity are useful because of the unique nature of nonprofit business models. Nonprofits raise funds to do their work, not to distribute profit, so traditional measures of success using bottom line reporting are not sufficient for nonprofit research. These measures of success, turnover and organizational citizenship behaviors, are known to be adversely affected by toxic leadership in the for-profit and government sectors, but the toxic impact to them in the nonprofit sector is not well understood. Moreover, nonprofit professionals have been documented to accept less than ideal working conditions because of their commitment to their organization's mission.
This study will explore the relationship between toxic leadership and organizational citizenship and turnover behaviors in San Diego nonprofit paid staff, and consider the influence commitment has on those relationships. The findings of the study are of interest to leaders and managers of nonprofit organizations to develop policies and training processes as they strive to recruit and retain talented employees and volunteers.
**USD graduate students and faculty are welcome free of charge.

Dasco Laptop Storage Cabinets: Protective Lockdown for Your Entire Fleet of Laptops
Filed under: Uncategorized
I never have to worry about keeping track of more than one laptop myself, but to IT teams that have entire fleets of corporate laptops to keep tabs on, I feel for you. Signing them in and out, making sure that they're only accessed by the chosen few, and keeping them clean (data-wise) and functional has to be a pretty big job, and heaven forbid that one ever goes missing. (I once received a letter from a former employer that several company-owned laptops had disappeared, and that my personal information may or may not have been on one of them. I and hundreds/thousands of other current/former employees were then offered complimentary ID theft monitoring. Someone's head had to have rolled for that one.)
Like I was saying, the protection and maintenance is a lot of responsibility, so that would make anything that brings a little peace of mind and lets you turn your back without worrying a great thing, right? Meet the Dasco Secure Laptop Storage Cabinet, your newest ally in the battle against corporate computer/data theft. This thing is like a luxury high-rise fortress for company-owned notebook computers. Every laptop gets its own room (okay, so by "room" I mean "drawer") with a keyed lock, and full amenities like power, luggage storage (aka: the roomy accessory drawer at the bottom), and even the option of "in-room" (okay, in-drawer) Internet access, so you and your staff can operate the laptops without actually having to drag them out and hook them up somewhere else.
Wow – secure storage and battery charging all in one place. No "Where did that laptop disappear to?" And no "Why wasn't this notebook's battery charged when I took it to my presentation?" So congratulations, Great Guardian of the Laptops: your job just got a lot less stressful.

Sarah Evan's story,"Mistaken," Every Day Fiction's top story for June, takes readers on a common city street with Ralph, an identical twin who is mistaken for his brother. Written in first-person with phrases such as "We used to think this was funny" and "I stand and wait and let it hit me," readers are immediately drawn into the intriguing exchange between Ralph and Dave, an old friend of Ralph's brother who is taken aback at their striking similarities. In less than 900 words, author Sarah Evans skillfully builds an intriguing scene that could take many avenues.
Flash Fiction Chronicles talked with Sarah Evans to gain insight on this moving piece, which triggered active discussion on Every Day Fiction's message board.
FFC: What compelled you to write "Mistaken"?
Evans: I'd been reading a non-fiction book about the experience of being a twin. The chapter on bereavement – one twin losing their other twin – had some very poignant stories.
FFC: What are the greatest rewards to writing flash fiction, in your opinion?
Evans: Usually I write things that are longer – but it's always good to play around with different lengths. Managing to write something very succinct, which nonetheless gets the reader involved enough to care (hopefully) is very rewarding. I was very encouraged by many of the reader comments.
FFC: What are the greatest challenges?
Evans: Challenges are a bit the flip side of rewards. I find it hard to keep things quite so short and at the same time create convincing characters and tell their story.
FFC: I think what makes this piece particularly strong is your word choice — it seems as if each word was selected and placed carefully. After you finish a first draft, what is your rewriting process?
Evans: A very first draft is often a free write with lots of superfluous bits that might or might not eventually fit in. The first 'readable' draft pins down the structure but still has too many words. From then on, it's about trying to hone things down, getting the sentences to flow, saying things in the best possible way. Often it's about deciding what can go, but sometimes things need to be fleshed out as well. The process can go on for some time. Reading out loud sometimes helps.
FFC: Much of the discussion about the story centered around the gender of the main character. Some readers took exception with the fact that you wrote in first-person from a male POV. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the story would have been different if the main character had been a woman?
Evans: I generally write from both male and female points of view. Just as I also write from the point of view of people of different ages and very different circumstances to my own. Usually I know from the first line / initial idea which gender I want to go with – though I have occasionally started with one and then redrafted using the other. I'm not sure the 'what is different' is a conscious thing – but I'm sure if I'd started from a female point of view the story would have taken a different direction in some way. Maybe a woman would have been more open with the friend who mistakes her for her twin – rather than being completely unable to talk about it.
Over the last five years, Sarah Evans has had dozens of stories published in magazines, competition anthologies and online. 'On such a night' was a runner up for Bridport 2008.
