Air Freshener by Dr. Beasley's®. Do not put up with unpleasant odors inside of your vehicle anymore. Go with this aromatic air freshener that is formulated to encapsulate malodors at the molecular level so you can eliminate bad smells at the source. Simply spray it wherever there's an unpleasant scent and it disappears forever.
- Works at the molecular level for permanent odor removal

- Long lasting natural scent
- Do not mask odors, just remove them
- Proudly made in the USA
If your car smells like a skunk slept there, it is a high time for you to find an effective air freshener to eliminate those horrible odors. The most common problem when choosing one is that the better part of fresheners do not kill smells, just mask them. As a consequence, the odor inside your car becomes even more aversive than it was before. With the Dr. Beasley's Air Freshener in your glove compartment, you can be completely sure that the offensive odor will not return as soon as the product wears off. The thing is that the freshener entraps the malodor molecules so there is no need to spray it multiple times. Dr. Beasley's uses only an all-natural blend of essential oils to provide you with a natural and brightening aroma for your vehicle for a long period of time.7.49 24.99

Mother of two needs lung transplant, hopes for help this Christmas
Amanda worked as a nurse until she became ill with a lung disease that has left her dependent on an oxygen machine and waiting for a double lung transplant.
While she is still waiting for the transplant, she is also worried about her children this Christmas. She has exhausted her savings trying to pay for her medical bills and she has nothing left to buy anything for her children, a 17-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son, for the holidays.
She said they both help in caring for her, since their father has been out of the picture for quite a while. Both of them help change out her oxygen tanks in the morning and are always ready to help her in and out of the car when they need to go somewhere.
This Christmas, she said she would really like for them to have the coats and winter clothes they need.
Through Christmas Day, the Independent Mail will share stories such as Amanda's. Fictitious names are used to protect the identities of those applying for help. But the circumstances reported about why they have asked for help are true and have been verified by staff members who review the applications for assistance.
Donations collected through the Brighter Christmas Fund campaign this year will be used to help families through the holiday charity next year. Those who are approved for assistance this year are helped with the donations readers made last year.

Explore the unique wonders of the crown jewel of Fire Island - the Sunken Forest.
The Sunken Forest on Fire Island is a globally rare maritime holly forest. While not really "sunken," the forest has the appearance of being below sea level, as the trail drops down the back side of the secondary dune into a lush canopy of trees. In the heart of the Sunken Forest, it's hard to imagine you're so close to the Atlantic Ocean on a narrow barrier island, where growing condtions are harsh, at best.
This special forest is comprised of a rare assemblage of plants, with a canopy of American holly, sassafras, and shadbush or serviceberry. On this ranger-guided, 1-mile roundtrip tour, you'll have an opportunity to learn about the hardwoods, shrubs and understory plants and some animals that live in this 250- to 300-year-old forest, ancient by barrier island standards.
Take the ferry from Sayville to Sailors Haven (fee charged), then meet the ranpger at the Sailors Haven Visitor Center. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the boardwalk.More »

Medicare supplements (also known as Medigap plans) are insurance policies designed to fill the gaps in Medicare coverage. These gaps are areas in coverage that do not fully or partially cover medical costs, leaving the policy holder to pay for the gaps in coverage. These gaps could result in thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses for a senior. Thankfully, Medicare supplement plans exist to help bridge these gaps, making it easier for seniors to plan for medical costs and reduce out-of-pocket expenses at the doctor's office and hospital.
Medigap plans are standardized by the U.S. government into 10 plans (A-N) to make it easier for seniors to shop around to different companies and easily compare prices based on the same coverage plan. The 10 Medigap plans offer different levels of coverage, varying from partial to complete coverage of gaps. Please click on the icons above to learn what expenses are covered by each plan.
Medicare is the federal program the vast majority of Americans 65 and older depend on for their healthcare. People under 65 with disabilities and individuals with end-stage renal disease can also qualify. Medicare is commonly divided into four parts. Original Medicare Part A and Part B help pay costs for hospital care and medical expenses, respectively. Specifically, Part A pays for medically-necessary inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing facility care after a hospital stay, certain home healthcare, and hospice care. Part A does not pay for private hospital rooms, surgery that is not deemed medically-necessary, most care received outside the United States, unskilled personal care, and a variety of other services. Part B, meanwhile, pays only 80% of most Medicare-covered medical costs. Deductible, copayment, and coinsurance costs associated with Original Medicare add up quickly for many people.
Medicare Part C is another name for Medicare Advantage, which many Medicare-eligible people choose as an alternative to Original Medicare. Available from private insurance companies, Medicare Advantage plans offer affordable, comprehensive network-based health coverage. Most Part C plans include prescription drugs. Medicare Part D refers to stand-alone prescription drug plans which are highly affordable and combine well with Medigap supplements to provide excellent coverage to fill the gaps and minimize out-of-pocket costs associated with Original Medicare.
Medigap supplements are designed specifically to fill the gaps in original Medicare. There is a Medicare supplement plan to suit every budget and medical history, all the way from Plan A to Plan N. Medigap Plans F and G are the most comprehensive and the best investments for many people, but all Medicare supplement plans are designed to keep healthcare costs well within your budget. Medigap premiums can vary greatly from area to area, and from insurance company to insurance company, but MedicareMall has over two decades of experience shopping the market to find every client the best coverage at the very best price. Contact MedicareMall today to learn more about how Medicare supplement insurance can prepare you for any health uncertainty and save you thousands of dollars.Google+

Bioshock Project
Excelent work, just finished the game, and i love all the posters, im going to print some of your arts to put on my bedroom, again excelent work!
Dude, I am planning on making a Bioshock web series after finishing work on my Silent Hill Fan film. My work is all shot on green screen and I make all my own backgrounds.
My plan is to make a proof of concept and then run a crowd funding pitch to fund the entire series, so perhaps we can link up?
In terms of my style, there are some stills from Silent Hill Requiem on my profile page to have a look at or head over to www.facebook.com/zeithfilms to see my other works
This is cool, just wish they were higher-resolution!
these are amazing! ive been dying to find some one who does the in game posters for bioshock because i love them. good job man! hopefully you do more for bioshock 2
thanks for the comment and the watch. check back in around the end of the year and youll get what you hoped for!
Amazing amazing work. Any chance we can get all of these full size in a zip download? I'd be forever indebted to you.
no, im currently trying to contact Irrational/2k games for permission to sell them, so handing them out for free wouldnt make sense right now. but thanks for the interest!
These Bioshock pieces are outstanding. I seriously would love to have prints of some of these. Any plans to do that? I would pay to have these awesome images hanging on my wall!
Have you contacted the site Society6? The publish a lot of work, some of it Star Wars themed too. Not sure how it all works, but I recently bought several prints from them.

TULSA — A federal judge on Thursday ruled a class-action lawsuit against DHS officials can go forward to trial on its most serious claim.
Tulsa judge rules class-action lawsuit against DHS can go forward on single claim
U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell did dismiss two other civil rights claims against commissioners and the director of the state Department of Human Services.
The single surviving claim is that DHS policies and practices violate foster children's constitutional rights to be free from harm and risk of harm.
The judge in his 32-page opinion noted there is evidence that certain conditions for foster children have worsened recently.
The average daily population of children in DHS shelters, for instance, grew from 53 in May 2010 to 104 in May 2011. The judge wrote that senior DHS managers and commissioners admit it is not in a child's interest to remain in a shelter because a child is better off in family-
A trial is set for February. It will not involve a jury.
The 2008 case could cost the state millions of dollars if DHS loses at trial. The judge could force the agency to enact costly reforms to its foster care practices. The judge also could require the state to pay millions of dollars in fees to attorneys for the New York-based advocacy group, Children's Rights, which filed the lawsuit.
The advocacy group is not seeking damage awards for every foster child. "This is a lawsuit about fixing the problems," said Marcia Robinson Lowry, executive director of Children's Rights.
The state already has paid more than $6 million to outside attorneys DHS hired to fight the lawsuit.
About the judge's findings
The judge found Children's Rights presented sufficient proof to create a genuine factual dispute "about whether defendants' policies, practices and procedures violate" foster children's due process rights to be reasonably safe from harm.
Lowry said, "These are issues we will be able to prove at trial because they come not only from our experts, but they come from DHS data and DHS testimony. Opinions of how harmful this is come not only from our experts, but from DHS testimony and from DHS experts. I think we're going to have a very strong case at trial."
A Tulsa attorney who is representing DHS stressed that the judge's opinion is not a decision about the accuracy of the accusations against DHS.
The attorney, Donald Bingham, said, "He was not finding that certain facts are true. He is saying there is sufficient evidence that each side should get its day in court so he can hear all the evidence and then he will weigh it. He will decide what is scientifically sound and what is plausible and believable and persuasive."

Anonymous $1M matching gift fuels drive to endow department head in food science
October 5, 2015An anonymous donor is pledging to match gifts — on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $1 million — in an effort to enhance food science programs at Penn State in the name of a professor emeritus once called the "Emperor of Ice Cream." If the donor's maximum match is reached, these funds will help to create the first endowed department head position in the College of Agricultural Sciences.
Phone app allows researchers to conduct concealed food safety observations
October 1, 2015Smartphones are so ubiquitous, and text messaging and social media activities so common in public places, that no one questions what anyone does with their phone. That pervasiveness allows a phone application to be used in direct, concealed observations without alerting the people being observed.
Tillage timing influences nitrogen availability and loss on organic farms
October 1, 2015In the battle against weeds, tillage is one of the strongest weapons at the disposal of organic or ecologically based farmers. But, depending on when it is used, tillage can also be a strong driver of nitrogen losses that contribute to groundwater pollution, according to researchers in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences.

Climate Change Scenarios
On This Page
2005-2007 scenarios page - archive
Although climate can vary naturally and will continue to do so in the future, human inputs of greenhouse gases are almost certain to cause continued warming of the planet. This warming has potentially significant implications for the Pacific Northwest (PNW) that warrant consideration in resource planning and management.
Estimates of future carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations range from a doubling of pre-industrial values to an increase by a factor of 3.5 by 2100. Using these projections of future greenhouse gases, numerous research centers around the world employ numerical models of Earth's climate system to project future global climate. The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) recently examined a select subset of these global simulation models and produced updated scenarios of future climate for the PNW (see Table 1). A summary of the new scenarios is provided below.
Future Northwest Climate
All scenarios evaluated by the CIG project a warmer climate for the PNW in the 21st century. More specifically:
- Climate models project a future rate of warming of approximately 0.5ºF (0.3ºC) per decade for the PNW through at least 2050 with average warming of 1.9ºF (1.1ºC) by the 2020s and 2.9 ºF (1.6ºC) by the 2040s, relative to 1970-1999 average temperature (for full range, see Table 1). For comparison, observed warming in the PNW during the 20th century was approximately 0.2ºF (0.1ºC) per decade.
- Temperatures are projected to increase across all seasons, although most models project the largest temperature increases in summer (June-August). This result stands in contrast to previous research findings at the CIG and elsewhere that winter warming would exceed summer warming.
- The warming projected for the PNW for the 21st century is substantially greater than the 1.5ºF (0.8ºC) increase in average temperature observed in the PNW during the 20th century. Additionally, average temperature could increase beyond the year-to-year variability observed in the PNW during the 20th century as early as the 2020s (Figure 1). This means that species or systems that respond primarily to changes in temperature are likely to continually face new conditions as a result of climate change.

Figure 1 Comparison of observed year-to-year variability and projected shifts in average temperature and precipitation from climate models. The blue bars represent the year-to-year variability in PNW temperature and precipitation during the 20th century. The orange, brown, and black lines indicate the shift in average temperature and precipitation from 20 climate scenarios for the 2020s, 2040s, and 2090s, respectively. Average temperature could exceed the year-to-year variability observed during the 20th century as early as the 2020s, while future projected precipitation falls within the range of past variability. Source: Climate Impacts Group, University of Washington.
Modest changes in regional precipitation are expected through mid-century, although changes in precipitation are less certain than changes in temperature. More specifically:
- The majority of models project slight decreases in summer (June-August) precipitation and slight increases in winter (December-February) precipitation, but little change (0-10%) in the annual mean by mid-century.
- Winter precipitation changes are largest in December-February, but still within the range of year-to-year variability observed during the 20th century (Figure 1).
- A larger percentage of overall winter precipitation is expected to fall as rain rather than snow due to warmer winter temperatures.
- Any changes in summer precipitation will be small given how little rain the region currently receives during summer.
Some models project increases in precipitation while others project decreases (Table 1). The divergence in model projections results from the fact that precipitation is affected by complex yet sometimes subtle changes in large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns which, in turn, are influenced by many imperfectly understood processes (e.g., ocean currents, tropical circulation, interactions between vegetation and the atmosphere).
It is also important to note that natural year-to-year and decade-to-decade fluctuations in precipitation are likely to be more noticeable than longer term trends associated with climate change. Thus, species or systems that respond primarily to changes in precipitation are likely to have already experienced the range of variability expected in the 21st century. Systems that are tuned to precipitation and temperature, however, are likely to find the conditions of the 21st century different from what they have previously experienced.
How will climate change affect particular climate events in the PNW?
Because many key aspects of climate (e.g., windstorms, heat waves) are not well simulated by models, the CIG cannot speculate how they may change in the future. However, droughts may become more common due to the effects of warmer temperatures and reduced winter snowpack on late summer streamflows.
How will ENSO and PDO be affected by projected climate change?
Changes in the behavior of climate patterns like the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and the Arctic Oscillation (AO) are projected by most models, but models typically aren't able to reproduce the variance observed in those climate patterns during the 20th century. As a result, there is no conclusive evidence as to how climate patterns such as ENSO, PDO, and the AO may change in the future.
Comparing the 2005 Scenarios with Previous PNW Scenarios
How do the 2005 climate change scenarios differ from the CIG's previous scenarios? The new climate change scenarios released in October 2005 show smaller temperature increases through mid-century than previous PNW climate change scenarios (Table 2). Precipitation changes are generally also smaller for this period. These differences are largely due to the following:
- Consideration of more models and climate scenarios. The CIG's previous climate change projections were derived using eight models forced by one greenhouse gas and sulfate aerosol emission scenario that assumed a 1% per year growth in CO2 emissions through the 21st century, a rate notably higher than the observed rate of 0.4% per year. The new climate change scenarios are derived from an evaluation of ten global climate models driven by two scenarios (A2 and B1) of future greenhouse gas and sulfate aerosol concentrations.
- Improved baseline for comparing future change. Previously, the baseline to which future changes were compared was calculated from long "control" climate simulations in which CO2 was held fixed. Each modeling group chose a different control value of CO2, which meant that the baselines included different degrees of warming. The new method for establishing the baseline calculates changes relative to the average climate of 1970-2000 as simulated by the climate models.
- Using 30 year means for comparing change. Precipitation changes were previously reported as ten-year averages, which meant that substantial decade-to-decade variability in simulated precipitation was included in the estimated precipitation change. Using 30 year means sifts through the variability to focus on longer-term change. Consequently, the projected changes in precipitation are smaller for the 2020s than previously reported.
The overall implication of the 2005 scenarios is that temperature changes previously projected for the 2020s and 2040s will likely occur a decade or more later in the 21st century than previously projected. As a result, climate impacts that depend on these temperature changes (such as reductions in snowpack) could occur later in the century than initially projected. A general assessment of how the 2005 climate change scenarios alter the results of previous hydrologic simulations is available in Lettenmaier et al. 2005. More detailed information on how the new scenarios may affect PNW resources will become available as the CIG incorporates the new scenarios into future climate impacts assessments.

Climate Change Streamflow Scenarios
To assist water resources planners and decision makers in assessing their vulnerability to projected future climate change, the CIG has developed a climate change streamflow scenarios tool for converting regional historical streamflow records into projected future streamflows for the 2020s and the 2040s. The streamflow scenarios, which are free to the public, can be directly incorporated into existing planning methods (such as critical period analysis) in place of the historic streamflow record.
Please note that the data provided in the climate change streamflow scenarios tool are currently based on previous CIG scenarios. Given the slower rate of warming and drier precipitation projections associated with the 2005 scenarios, it is likely that any temperature-related effects for the 2020s and 2040s (e.g., decreases in snowpack) would occur later in the century. Any precipitation-related effects projected for the 2020s in the previous scenarios (e.g., increases in annual streamflow volume) are probably overestimated. For more information on how a particular data set may be affected by the new scenarios, please contact the CIG.
For More Information
Planning for Climate Change
Decisions made today can shape future vulnerability to a variety of stresses, including climate change. An examination of the possible impacts of future climate changes provides valuable information that can be used to inform planning in the PNW. The CIG provides numerous resources, including climate change scenarios for changes in temperature and precipitation, the climate change streamflow scenarios tool, and consultancy-based climate impacts studies, to support the inclusion of climate change information in PNW resource management and planning.
The availability of different global climate models and forcing scenarios (e.g., A2 and B1) allows the CIG to evaluate a range of possible future climate conditions for the PNW. Determining which scenario range should be used for more detailed modeling studies (e.g., evaluating climate change impacts on a specific water supply) will depend in part on the sensitivity of a resource to variations in climate and the risks associated with those changes. For example, the implications of drought for a river serving as the primary water source for a dense metropolitan area may be much greater than for a similarly sized river with few demands placed on it.
When relatively little is at stake, resource managers may want to choose climate change scenarios with the least amount of warming (i.e., best case scenarios) for evaluating specific climate impacts. When there is more at stake, or when climate impacts could have irreversible ecosystem consequences, resource managers may want to consider warmer (i.e., worst-case) scenarios. The appropriateness of any one model and/or climate scenario for assessing climate impacts should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of the study.
What about uncertainty? Continued research on the global climate system and PNW environment will continue to expand our understanding of climate change impacts. The absence of "perfect information" should not, however, prevent planning for climate change. Good decisions can be made in spite of the uncertainty associated with projected changes, just as good decisions are made in spite of uncertainty about other factors, such as future economic conditions or rates of population growth. Careful consideration of the range of projected climate impacts, combined with an analysis of a resource's vulnerability to these impacts, will support prudent approaches to planning.

Caveats and Cautions
Regional signal. Global climate models are not designed to simulate regional climate. Important regional features like mountain ranges and estuaries are missing. The pattern of changes in temperature, however, is expected to be (and has been in the past) fairly similar across the whole region.
Climate variables. Models simulate observed patterns of temperature better than observed sea-level pressure (a representation of atmospheric circulation and common weather features), and they simulate sea-level pressure better than precipitation. Consequently, we have highest confidence in projections of temperature change, less confidence in projections of changes in atmospheric circulation, and lowest confidence in simulations of precipitation. Other details of climate that are badly simulated in present climate, such as changes in the frequency or intensity of storms, are probably unreliable in future climates as well.
Contrasts within the region. Simulations with a regional model (a climate model with very high spatial resolution) suggest a few important respects in which climate change may differ from the projections of the global models. For example, warming may proceed more quickly at higher elevations than in the lowlands owing to snow-albedo feedback: when snow cover is reduced, it enhances absorption of solar radiation and warms the surface more (Leung et al. 2003).

Ron Paul raked in roughly $3 million during the first quarter through his various political organizations, POLITICO has learned.
Though not all of that money can be transferred to a potential presidential campaign, the big haul demonstrates Paul's continuing force as a grassroots-powered online fundraiser.
The Texas congressman raised $1 million through his federal PAC and $2 million through Campaign for Liberty, a 501C(4) which cannot transfer funds directly to political organizations. Paul's fundraising documents, to be filed later Thursday with the FEC, will also show he has $1.7 million on hand in his congressional campaign account.
"Dr. Paul's fundraising comes almost exclusively from individuals, not special interests," LibertyPAC director Jesse Benton told POLITICO. "He received contributions from all 50 states, and his average gift this quarter was under $70, demonstrating his broad grassroots support.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — They're getting deluged in Florida these days, and it has nothing to do with rising tides.
Instead, it's primary season that's overwhelming Floridians and the unprecedented torrent of television ads is causing the flood. Just ask April Schiff, a Republican political consultant in Tampa.
Florida voters in Miami and Orlando talk about how they voted in today's Republican primary and why.
Quick facts:
• Population: 18.9 million
• Unemployment rate: 9.9%
• Median income: $39,415
• Median existing house price: $134,300
• Median house price drop from peak: 47%
• Romney trounces Gingrich in Florida
• Romney's speech in Florida
• Five things to watch in Florida primary
• Florida: The $20 million primary
• 'Job-killing' health reform...creating jobs
• Romney fires back in last debate in Florida
• Political Watch blog
• | |
While getting a flat tire fixed recently, Schiff counted no fewer than six political ads during a 30-minute span on the TV in her mechanic's waiting room, most touting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney or bashing his main opponent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. All this was happening around 10 a.m.
"That was one channel," she said. "We were watching one of those morning cooking shows."
"It's gone nuts," said Alex Patton, another GOP consultant who's based in Gainesville, Fla. "I'm not ever going to turn my TV on."
Welcome to the age of the Super PAC. In this era of unlimited corporate campaign spending, the ante has skyrocketed for those who want to play presidential politics — especially in key states like Florida, whose primary is being held Tuesday.
State Republican officials say that the campaigns of the remaining GOP hopefuls, or the so-called "super" political action committees that support their cause, have spent up to $10 million in the Sunshine State.
Countdown to the Florida primary
Sara Murray on Campaign Journal has the view from Florida, just days before residents in the Sunshine State head to the polls to pick the Republican candidate they want to challenge President Obama in November.
Before it's all over, they will have poured as much as $20 million into Florida, says Brian Hughes, spokesman for the state's GOP. He says that's probably the most that has been spent on any single primary to date, and most of that is coming from Super PACs.
"It's a new big player in the race," he said.
Super PACs for the two major candidates in Florida, Romney and Gingrich, have reported recent cash infusions of more than $5 million at a time in recent days, and it's expected more will be on the way.
"If you own a broadcast station in Florida, you've won," said Patton. "If your TV is on, you're watching political ads. I don't think there's a lot of car dealers able to get their ads on."
Some of the major public companies with multiple stations in the state include Gannett Co. Inc. GCI, +5.76% , Media General Inc. MEG, +0.22% , Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. SBGI, +2.66% , Gray Television Inc. GTN, +1.57% , E.W. Scripps Co. Inc. SSP, +2.66% and the Washington Post Co.'s WPO Post-Newsweek TV division.
There also are owned-and-operated stations of CBS Corp. CBS, +2.10% , Comcast Corp.'s CMCSA, +2.28% NBCUniversal Group and News Corp.'s NWS, +2.10% Fox Broadcast Network. News Corp. also owns MarketWatch, publisher of this report.
Patton, who represents a number of local candidates for races also up for seats in Tuesday's election, says the flood of ads is making it difficult for locals to get exposure.

The Church of the Non-Believers
AS I TEST OUT the New Atheist arguments, I realize that the problem with logic is that it doesn't quicken the blood sufficiently – even my own. But if logic by itself won't do the trick, how about the threat of apocalypse? The apocalyptic argument for atheism is the province of Sam Harris, who released a book two years ago called The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason.

Harris argues that, unless we renounce faith, religious violence will soon bring civilization to an end. Between 2004 and 2006, his book sold more than a quarter million copies.
This autumn, Harris has a new book out, Letter to a Christian Nation. In it, he demonstrates the behavior he believes atheists should adopt when talking with Christians. "Nonbelievers like myself stand beside you," he writes, addressing his imaginary opponent, "dumbstruck by the Muslim hordes who chant death to whole nations of the living. But we stand dumbstruck by you as well – by your denial of tangible reality, by the suffering you create in service to your religious myths, and by your attachment to an imaginary God."
In midsummer, Harris and I overlap for a few days in Southern California, so we arrange to meet for lunch. I am not looking for more atheist arguments. I am already steeped in them. I have by now read my David Hume, my Bertrand Russell, even my Shelley. I want to talk to Harris about emotion, about politics, about his conviction that the days of civilization are numbered unless we renounce irrational belief. Given the way things are going, I want to know if he is depressed. Is he preparing for the end?
He is not. "Look at slavery," he says. We are at a beautiful restaurant in Santa Monica, near the public lots from which Americans – nearly 80 percent of whom believe the Bible is the true word of God, if polls are correct – walk happily down to the beach in various states of undress. "People used to think," Harris says, "that slavery was morally acceptable. The most intelligent, sophisticated people used to accept that you could kidnap whole families, force them to work for you, and sell their children. That looks ridiculous to us today. We're going to look back and be amazed that we approached this asymptote of destructive capacity while allowing ourselves to be balkanized by fantasy. What seems quixotic is quixotic – on this side of a radical change. From the other side, you can't believe it didn't happen earlier. At some point, there is going to be enough pressure that it is just going to be too embarrassing to believe in God."
Suddenly I notice in myself a protective feeling toward Harris. Here is a man who believes that a great global change, perhaps the most important cultural change in the history of humanity, will occur out of sheer intellectual embarrassment.
We discuss what it might look like, this world without God. "There would be a religion of reason," Harris says. "We would have realized the rational means to maximize human happiness. We may all agree that we want to have a Sabbath that we take really seriously – a lot more seriously than most religious people take it. But it would be a rational decision, and it would not be just because it's in the Bible. We would be able to invoke the power of poetry and ritual and silent contemplation and all the variables of happiness so that we could exploit them. Call it prayer, but we would have prayer without bullshit."
I do call it prayer. Here is the atheist prayer: that our reason will subjugate our superstition, that our intelligence will check our illusions, that we will be able to hold at bay the evil temptation of faith.
THAT WEEK in Los Angeles it is very hot. Temperatures in the San Fernando Valley, where I'm staying, set a record at 119. Intermittent power outages kill the lights, and the region is bathed in an old-fashioned brown smog that blurs the outlines of the trees. In the evening, as it cools to 102, I decide to enter the emplacements of the adversary.
I am headed for the Angelus Temple, in Echo Park. A landmark of modern Christianity, it is one of the original churches of the surging charismatic movement. It is not the richest church, nor the most powerful, nor the most famous. But Angelus, founded by Aimee Semple McPherson in the 1920s, pioneered that combination of high production values and uplifting theology that began to purge the stain of hickdom from evangelical faith. Aside from being a historical shrine, the Angelus Temple is a case study in religious evolution. While the New Atheists are arming themselves against faith, faith itself renews its arms. Superstition, it turns out, is a moving target.
In 2001, a merger with a thriving church downtown, run by the young son of a powerful pastor in Phoenix, brought renewal – not merely in the form of massive social outreach and volunteer programs, youth events, and Bible study groups, but also, as the church explains on its Web site, in the form of "new cushioned theater seats, Ferrari-red carpet, modern stainless steel fixtures, and acoustical absorbers hung decoratively from the ceiling similar to the Royal Albert Hall in England."
It is Saturday night, and I am greeted at the door by a blast of air-conditioning and a wave of sound. It looks like a rock concert. It is a rock concert. More than 500 teenagers are crowding the stage, hands uplifted, singing along. There is a 12-member band, four huge videoscreens, and a crane that allows the camera to swoop through the air, projecting images of the believers back to themselves.
"How many people are excited to give to the Lord tonight?" asks a young man who saunters up to the front. He handles his microphone naturally; he is not self-conscious. "How many people are pumped up? You have a destiny. God has a plan. But you have got to sow some seeds tonight, or it is never going to happen." Text flashes across the overhead screens, telling the teenagers how to make out their checks.
Behind the lighting rigs and the acoustic panels, stained glass peeks out, a relic of McPherson's era. McPherson was personally wild and doctrinally flexible. She had visions and spoke in tongues, but she tried to put aside sectarian disputes. Even today, the charismatic movement is somewhat careless of doctrine. There is room for theistic evolutionists, for nonliteralists who hold that each of God's days in Genesis was the equivalent of a geological epoch, even for the notion that a check made out properly to the Lord can influence divine whim in the matter of a raise at work or a scholarship to college. Of course, evolutionary accommodation is controversial in the seminaries, and the idea of bribing God is rank heresy – no trained theologian in any Christian tradition would endorse it. But such deviations are generously tolerated in practice. The forces at work in a living church have little to do with intellectual disputes over the meaning of the Lord's word. Having agreed that the Bible is inerrant, one is permitted to put it to use.

Bringing together business, banks and investors
Commercial bankers, investors, multi-lateral institutions and export-ready enterprises came together in Dakar, Senegal in July during the West Africa Trade Hub's second annual trade finance conference, focused on boosting finance for export value chains in West Africa.
Trade Finance 2009: Untapped Markets explored financing opportunities in the Hub's targeted industries—cashew, shea, processed food, home décor, apparel and transport— through expert presentations, panels and break-out groups. The conference aimed to help bankers (who are often unfamiliar with profit-making opportunities available through lending to export-ready companies) better understand industry value chains and the real risks involved in lending.
The event culminated in a Bank-to-Business-to-Investor (B2Bi) event, in which banks, businesses, investors and multi-lateral institutions discussed funding opportunities during more than 70 one-on-one meetings.

Book Review
Title: "Monday Morning Choices: 12 Powerful Ways to Go From Everyday to Extraordinary"
Author: David Cottrell
Publisher: HarperCollins, 2008; 186 pages; $13.76 at amazon.com
The recent (actually, ongoing, for many) housing, job and economic crises have caused an overall re-examination of the concept of success across our nation.
When people lose their homes, their jobs or big chunks of their net worth in the stock market, it's quite normal to reconsider core elements of their belief systems about what being a success truly means, and to re-evaluate their overall approaches to being successful in life.
Right now, at year's end, many even begin to start to implement new practices in an effort to heal their ailing careers or finances and get a powerful head start on the new year.
If you count yourself in this number, speaker and author David Cottrell, in his latest book, "Monday Morning Choices: 12 Powerful Ways to Go From Everyday to Extraordinary," offers a compelling approach to thinking and acting on the various choices we all make -- intentionally or not -- that impact our chances of success at work and in our everyday lives.
According to Cottrell, the choices that impact our ability to be successful at any endeavor -- financially, careerwise, in our personal lives, or even just at being a happy individual overall -- fall into three basic buckets:
If you're looking for a new way to think about your life and your efforts to be successful at work and in life, here is a sampling of five of Cottrell's "choices" you can opt in to and change your life:
1. The No-Victim Choice. According to Cottrell, to make the No-Victim Choice is to refuse to be sidelined by obstacles. Instead, when you fail or circumstances knock you down, making the No-Victim Choice requires that you brush yourself off, get back up, figure out what you can learn from the experience and keep moving forward toward your goals.
Cottrell says that those who make the No-Victim Choice consistently choose "to avoid becoming a victim of life's circumstances," and instead commit to "move forward, no matter what."
The No-Victim Choice is an especially critical choice for those who have lost a job or a home in recent years -- to reposition your efforts for success moving forward, get over the idea that there is a grand global economic conspiracy to bring you down, start to view your recession-era losses as nothing more than a detour or a bump in the road, and figure out what you can do next to continue progressing toward your goals.
2. The Commitment Choice. Cottrell retells the story of Julie Moss, the woman who came in second place at the 1982 Ironman Triathlon. On the first televised triathlon, Moss's body literally shut down from exhaustion, causing her to collapse several times before she crawled on hands and knees over the finish line.
Cottrell writes that committing to your goals for the year and for your life with Moss's level of passion and determination involves getting clarity on those goals, writing and visualizing them, planning and building your life around them and investing in the resources it will take to attain them.
For housing consumers, taking these steps is also essential to keeping on course when obstacles do inevitably arise, like the bank rejecting your loan modification application.
3. The Do-Something Choice. Cottrell says that to make the Do-Something Choice is to move out of the procrastination trap that he calls a "Vacation on Someday Isle." (Someday Isle is his funny reference to how procrastinators begin their sentences: "Someday, I'll ...")
He makes the very bold declaration that "intentions do not count," in underscoring the importance of taking even very small actions toward your goals immediately, and constantly. Cottrell also provides several specific areas in which he encourages readers to take action toward their success, including self-improvement, reading, writing and speaking.
4. The Persistence Choice. While the Commitment Choice was about who you are as an individual, the Persistence Choice is about what you do -- especially after you've failed in your efforts. Here, Cottrell shares some of his own business stories in an effort to illustrate that often it is persevering, continuing to act, after we have a failure that positions us to finally succeed.

Is duck dynasty a scripted show?
Yes. The A&E reality show "Duck Dynasty" is partially scripted. The people on the show are not actors and they aren't given lines to read for the most part, but they are given situations to be involved in and activities to take part in by the makers of the show. The show is structured similarly to a situation comedy by the producers.
Interviews are at least partially planned out by the producers/directors of the show, and certain scenes and themes are most likely suggested by the makers. However, it's very difficult for any reality show to be completely unscripted, as even documentaries usually follow a structure of some sort.
It's also very hard for any reality show or documentary to be filmed without there being any influence from the show's makers. Even when the makers of a show or movie attempt to have no influence on the subjects of the show, just having a camera around can make people act differently than they normally would.
Regarding this, cast member Jase Robertson has stated, "The show is highlights of our lives. We are not actors. When you edit things into 22 minutes some of it may seem a bit staged."
With 9.6 million viewers, the third season finale of "Duck Dynasty", which aired on April 24, 2013, broke the A&E ratings record. It was the highest rated show of the night, beating out both Survivor and American Idol.

What is a Wellness Coach? A Wellness Coach is trained to provide a safe environment for you to discuss, identify and clarify and health concerns you may have. The coach assists is deciding how to make changes through goal setting and creating a step by step plan that you can follow to achieve your goals. A coach also helps you find resources, education or other tools to help your plan be a success. The focus of the coaching process is entirely on your needs and your agenda for change.
How does it work? You call the Wellness Center at Mendocino Coast Hospital (961-4670) and make a Well Check appointment. A Wellness Assessment will be sent to you to fill out and bring to your appointment. The Wellness Coach will talk with you about your responses on the Wellness Assessment and about any other health concerns you may have. Additional information will be gathered during your session. The coach works with you to find ways to achieve you goal and helps you set some time frames. The coach will also provide you with some general wellness education and referrals if you need them. Follow up phone calls are beneficial for most clients. The next step is yours. You may chose to follow-up with your physician or begin you plan.

How do you charge your mobile phone when there's no electricity grid? A hand cranked dynamo may be the simplest, and most cost-efficient, answer.
We've earlier mentioned companies like Solio and Suntrica that make portable solar chargers.
Solio's product is definitely at the high-end of the spectrum and retails for around $100, which may be a bit steep for a rural citizen. Suntrica's product range is a bit different both in regards to price and product range, and they will soon publicize more information about the products. We'll return with a new report on Suntrica then.
On a related note: if you have soldering skills and a DIY mindset, you can even make your own solar charger.
Solar chargers can be used collectively in a village – shared between a group of people. So can hand-cranked chargers, of course. And they do retail for quite a bit less than many of their solar peers. VNL-er Nikhil Swadia has done some research on what's available.
The Chinese manufacturer Wenzhou Kaishi Electric offers a couple of different hand-cranked phone chargers. Cranking at 150 rpm/for 1 min provides enough power for 8 minutes of talk time. The chargers come with plugs for charging most common brands of mobile phones. It costs $1.8 in large quantities, most likely translating to a retail price point of around $10.
CNET has reviewed some hand-wound mobile phone chargers that cost around around $20 to 25. And there are more to be found at NexTag.
Clearly, there are many options for a villager to charge a mobile phone. And these portable chargers – both solar and hand-cranked – are quite convenient for anyone outside the range of the electricity grid.
As solar power technology matures further, and as adoption of mobile communication in rural communities increases, the field of portable chargers will evolve quickly. We're tracking the development right here on the blog.

Fight Club director on board for FX project
[Via TV Tattle]
Sorry, as much as I love the film and the director, Fincher really had nothing to do with the themes of Fight Club. Yeah, he created probably the closest feeling moviegoers will get to the atmosphere of reading a Palahniuk novel, but he just barely 'did it justice.' Jamie, read a book from time to time. And don't fault a director for doing an awesome job with someone else's material.June 28 2006 at 10:14 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Anna, no need to cross out the truth. Fight Club is the best movie ever! I can't wait to see what Fincher has to offer...although it could never beat Fight Club...June 28 2006 at 2:02 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Oooh, yes. dark brooding themes about grown men ad because they aren't rich rock stars and athletes so they decide to beat the crap out of each other and blow up buildings in some silly strike at the consumer cultures they wish they had more momeny and status to be a part of.
Remind me ahgain why Fincher is great?
As excited as I am to hear about any new work from Fincher, I think I'd much rather see him do another film. Oh well, I'm sure it'll be littered with dark themes and long, unbroken pans through various locations.June 27 2006 at 11:26 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

A wall-mounted television can make watching your favorite shows enjoyable; however, it can also be an eyesore. Find ways to decorate your wall-mounted television so that it will become the focal point of your room. Decorating your wall-mounted TV will make it look like a piece of art. rather than just a black rectangle hanging on the wall.
Add floating shelves to display your decorative items. Place a floating shelf on top, below and at each side of your wall-mounted television to display speakers, photo frames, knickknacks, DVD collections or books. Putting an empty horizontal floating shelf painted in dark chocolate or black below the television will evoke a minimalist style. Floating shelves can fill the void around the wall-mounted television, especially if you have an expansive wall.
Camouflaging is something you can do to hide and decorate your wall-mounted television. Choose an oil painting or photograph that is large enough to cover the front of your wall-mounted television. Some companies specialize in installing cover-ups for televisions by creating a hole on the wall deep enough to hold the television. The wall-mounted television will hang recessed or flushed into the wall. Then, hang the painting or photo from the top that will flip up when you want to watch and will flip down when you have finished watching. Camouflaging works best if the exposed television does not go well with your design style.
Surrounding the wall-mounted television with collectible artworks will make your television a focal point. For example, placing a set of Samurai swords on top of the television and a pair of Samurai masks on each side will show your guests your penchant for Samurai items. Decorating your wall-mounted television with the items you love allows you to enjoy these items while you watch your favorite shows.
Add depth by surrounding your wall-mounted television with mirrors. Hanging a series of identical mirrors that complement your overall design scheme will make the look visually appealing. Opting for mirrors with clean lines will keep the look simple, so that the mirrors will not interfere with TV viewing.
Make your television look like a framed painting by mounting it flushed on the wall. Framing the wall cutout will give it a finished look. Choose frames to complement your style; for example, an ornately carved gilded frame will do well in a modern baroque design style, while metallic, sleek frames with clean lines will do well in a contemporary, minimalist style.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
The preseason wins continue to pile up for the Lady Dinos, with latest victim being Uintah last Thursday night.
They crushed the Utes 61-20 as they continued to roll over anyone who got in their way. Carbon now is the number one ranked 3A team in the state. Emery is sitting in the number five slot and looks to give the Dinos a run for their money again in region action.
Fouls plagued the team early as they tried to contain the Utes. Uintah scored all but two of their 14 points off the free throw line in the first half.
"It was frustrating. We were in the bonus before the end of the first quarter and double bonus before the half. That doesn't happen very often," expressed coach Carlson.
Up 26-14 at the half, Carbon poured it on in the third with a 15-5 scoring run. Uintah only managed a pair of points the rest of the game.
Thankfully for the Utes, the score could have been much worse. Carbon took a lot of shots in the first half of play, but only was hitting 39 percent. They settled it down in the second half of play and sunk 55 percent. The same was true for the Dinos from the line. In the first half they only managed to hit 33 percent of their free throws. In the second half, 69 percent.
Julia Potts led the Dinos with 15 points and six steals. She hit two out of three shots from beyond the arc. Samantha Smith was also in double figures with 10. Tia Pappas ruled the boards as she snagged eight rebounds. But it was Patricia Smith who was awarded the Dino player of the game with seven assists, eight points and a pair of steals.
The team plays Park City on the Dec. 23 before returning home for a match-up with Wasatch on Jan.. 2. Their game will begin at 5:15 and the boy's will be playing Canyonview at 7:00. It will be a rare double-header with the boys and girls team hitting the court on the same night.

Archive for the 'GM Coach' tag
Like a box of chocolates: "Forrest Gump" bus at Hershey
You never know what'll show up at Hershey, an event known for pulling vehicles you'd never expect to come face-to-face with out of the woodwork. Take, for instance, this 1959 GM Coach suburban bus, which played a bit role in Forrest Gump.
According to Tom Collins, president of the Museum of Bus Transportation, which owns the bus, Lakeland Bus Lines of Dover, New Jersey, loaned the bus to Paramount Pictures for the 1994 Robert Zemeckis film, specifically for the scene in which Jenny leaves Forrest after the anti-war rally.
Bus guys will note that it probably wasn't the best choice of bus for those hippies to take cross-country. Collins explained that as a suburban bus, the GM Coach was originally used for commuters with about an hour's length bus ride to work every day. As such, it was fitted with reading lamps and armrests, but its seats weren't as plush as those found on long-distance buses. Still, it was a little more comfortable than your typical city bus, which did without many of the suburban bus's amenities.
After filming, Lakeland loaned the GM Coach to the Museum of Bus Transportation, then eventually turned over the title to the museum after realizing the bus got more attention at the museum than in a Lakeland storage facility. Collins said that the bus, fitted with a 6-71 GMC diesel and four-speed manual transmission, still has its original drivetrain and upholstery, but has been repainted.
Tribute to a lost era in American travel
If ever a book on an icon of the American highway was decades overdue, this was it. Nobody had ever written a technical and social history of the GM Coach PD-4501, better known as the Scenicruiser, and commissioned by Greyhound at the Dallas-based bus system's very zenith. That, happily, is very close to changing.
Thanks is therefore due to Tom McNally, a monster Scenicruiser buff who is co-writing Greyhound Scenicruiser: A Lost Era in American Travel, with co-author Fred Rayman, a retired bus driver from Oklahoma City. Both Tom and Fred are highly active in today's Scenicruiser community, organizing national rallies for restored and RV-converted versions of these double-deck buses. The book, to be published by Iconografix, will be released next spring, featuring 112 pages and 376 photos. You can pre-order it from Tom's website, TomsGarageOnline.com, or send a check for $30.99 (includes shipping) to Tom McNally at 3310 W. Malone St., Peoria, Illinois 61605.
Four-Links – Packard out of vault, Hillman Hustler, submarine bus fleet, Ron Washington's Cadillac
* Reader Larry Stookey sent us this story from the Toledo Blade last month regarding Jerry Brummett and the 1940 Packard Super Eight formal sedan he bought in the early 1960s. What makes the story remarkable is that Brummett got the Packard running, used it to haul around his motorcycles for a couple years, then sealed it up inside a steel tank for 40-plus years before recently bringing it out of storage and starting in on its restoration.
* Over on the Bolly Blog, a quick post this week on the Australia-only Hillman Hustler, a little-known Mopar product that aspired to musclecar status.
* Telstar Logistics this week took a look at the RTA Street Fleet, a group of four specially-prepped buses introduced in the Los Angeles area in 1974 to help inland kids get to the beaches in the summertime. Jim Donnelly said they're GM Coaches, most likely TDH-3612s.
* If you're a baseball fan, you got a good look at Ron Washington's managerial style as he led the Texas Rangers to the World Series last year. To show their appreciation, Nolan Ryan and the rest of the Rangers ownership group got together and found a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz to present to Washington, replacing the one he bought new and lost in Hurricane Katrina. (hat tip to diskojoe!)
* Finally, over on Hooniverse, a story on the London-Sydney Marathon, "the largest international rally yet staged." I think it's high time for another such rally.

House creator developing series for NBC
Davis Shore, creator of the series House, is developing a still-unnamed procedural series for NBC about a female cop. Peter Blake, a writer for House, will executive produce the series with Shore. There's no real information on this series just yet, but apparently it will be a "light drama" according to Variety, with some humor. That kind of sounds like Monk, to me.
It'll be interesting to see if this new series gets picked up and if Shore can duplicate the success of House. I enjoyed the first couple seasons of House but eventually the thrill wore off for me, and I haven't even tuned in for the new season. Nothing against the show itself, but sometimes people grow apart. It's bittersweet, this carousel called love.

Since I received my Northern Denim Co. jeans yesterday, Taavi recommended soaking the jeans before putting them into actual use. In the past I did one soak with the KIKS@Momotaro model but this is to be neglected since the pair was already sanforized. Actually, I did not feel like soaking the jeans (waiting for the jeans to be dry means not wearing, mmpf). Part of that feeling was also due to my lack of knowledge of how to soak my raw jeans. I browsed the net and knew a place right away: http://www.rawrdenim.com/2011/03/soaking-raw-denim-the-critical-preliminary-step/
Reading through it I thought:too lazy! By then my girl came home we had some beer (bank holiday due to eastern the next day) and I thought, well I gonna soak the jeans while wearing. Said and done I found myself in the hot bathtub for 45 min, wearing the new jeans. It was like a sauna experience since I sweated my a** off. It was lots of fun. My girl took pics in our caramel palace bath from the 70ies and was teasing me all around that maybe I not only shrink the jeans but also myself. After the 45 min I turned the jeans inside out and gave it another, but this time cold soak, for more than 2 ours. After that I hang em dry and I am wearing them right now. See for yourself:
