When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

Bill Gates, who as the richest American has become one of the foremost advocates of philanthropy, has reduced the pace of his own giving to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation over the last decade.
After starting the foundation with gifts of $356 million from 1994 to 1997, the Microsoft co-founder vastly expanded it into the nation's largest with gifts totaling $24.6 billion over the next four years.
Since then, he has dialed back. From 2002 to 2012, he gave $3.7 billion, according to foundation disclosures and data from a Gates spokesman. In that same period, he sold an estimated $22 billion in Microsoft stock.
The pullback reflects the foundation's rapid growth — to a size that has tested its ability to give away money at the pace required both by law and by the fast-rising contributions of another donor, Warren Buffett.

John Pinette, a spokesman for Gates, declined to address specific reasons for the change of pace in giving, but he did point to the challenges of distributing large amounts of money where it can be most effective.
Giving away $3.9 billion, as the foundation did in 2012, "is a massive task and a big responsibility," Pinette said.
At $40.2 billion, the Gates foundation is more than triple the size of the No. 2 Ford Foundation, according to a tally by the Foundation Center, which tracks philanthropy. Such foundations generally must spend 5 percent of their assets in grants and expenses each year to maintain their tax-exempt status.
Gates has recently taken a back seat to his friend Buffett in financing the foundation.
Since 2006, Buffett — the chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway and the second-richest American — has given $13 billion in annual increments, after a pledge that year to give stock worth $31 billion at the time.
Buffett's gifts require that the full dollar amounts be spent each year. The price of Berkshire stock has doubled since mid-2006, increasing the value of his annual contribution to $2 billion.
One concern for Gates is that the death of Buffett, who is 83, could accelerate the pace at which the remainder of the stock he pledged, now worth $42.1 billion, would come into the foundation, further increasing its required annual spending.
Gates and Buffett have also championed philanthropic giving by their fellow billionaires. In 2010, they unveiled plans to try to persuade other wealthy Americans to pledge giving more than half their net worth to charity during their lifetimes or at their deaths.
In a public appearance in March, Bill and Melinda Gates said they talked about giving back his wealth to society as far back as 1993, on a trip to Africa together before their marriage, when they witnessed what Melinda Gates described as "extreme poverty."
In the same appearance, Gates, who stepped aside this year as chairman of Microsoft but remains a director, repeated a past vow to eventually donate 95 percent of his wealth to the foundation, where he has devoted most of his time since 2008.
For Gates, the slower pace of contributions, along with recent gains in Microsoft's stock price, have helped him regain the No. 1 ranking among the world's billionaires, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $76 billion.
Pinette said there was "absolutely no connection" between the contribution tempo and the ranking.
As Gates has reduced his stake to a recent 4 percent from 22 percent in 1997, Microsoft stock has generally traded at about half the peak reached in 1999 during the tech stock bubble.
The Seattle-based Gates Foundation has focused on fighting poverty and disease in developing nations; financing and seeking vaccines for polio, tuberculosis and malaria; and improving education in the United States.
Gates has been lionized for the efforts. A "60 Minutes" segment last year showed him giving a polio vaccine to a child in Ghana. Last November, he received media coverage for a visit to Nigeria, spotlighting a recent drop in polio there.
That has not always been the case.
Twenty years ago, people associated the name Gates with "ruthless, predatory" monopolistic conduct that gave him "the reputation of a modern-day robber baron," said Charles Lowenhaupt, a wealth adviser in St. Louis. Today, he added, Gates — after stepping back from Microsoft and throwing himself into charity work — is considered "a worldwide force for good."
His philanthropy has helped "rebrand" his name, Lowenhaupt added.
The source of the ill will was an antitrust case filed by the United States against Microsoft in May 1998 and tried between October 1998 and April 2000. It was ultimately settled in November 2001. The government contended, and an appeals court later partly agreed, that Microsoft abused its market power to maintain a monopoly in desktop computer operating systems.
During the course of that case, Gates began reducing his stake in Microsoft more aggressively and, after taking a public-relations beating during the trial's early going in late 1998, the company started what was described at the time as a "charm offensive" to improve its image.
Early in the trial, the government portrayed Gates as combative, evasive or less than candid in a videotaped deposition, showing numerous excerpts from his testimony that appeared to be at odds with emails he wrote about the same events.
"The trial was a terrible black eye for Bill Gates," said Ken Auletta, author of a 2001 book, "World War 3.0: Microsoft and Its Enemies." At the time, Auletta said, the public-relations team at Microsoft was "desperate to counter the growing impression that it was a heartless beast."
While Auletta believes Gates' charitable gifts were too large to be dismissed as a public relations ploy, he said that during the trial, the gifts "became part of Microsoft's PR effort to humanize Gates."
Pinette, the Gates spokesman, said the burst of contributions was not intended as public relations.
Gates contributed $20.3 billion, or 71 percent of his total contributions to the foundation disclosed through 2012, during the 18 months between the start of the trial and the verdict, according to the foundation's disclosures and data in David Bank's "Breaking Windows," another book about Microsoft.
Mitchell Pettit, former head of a group called ProComp backed by Microsoft rivals, said Gates' donation drop-off since the trial strengthened "the inference that the original motive was not altogether altruistic."
But even critics laud Gates for the way he has thrown himself into the charity work.
"Today I must say I admire the guy for what he has done," Pettit said. "It looks like the effort is very genuine."

Putting the pieces together: by Dan VanderArk
Turning well-intentioned government slogans
"No Child Left Behind" is the Bush administration slogan for educational reform. It's a good slogan; the focus is on the child, and the government's eye will be on children who are at the back of the pack. And it suggests that the educational bus is ready to move toward the goal, but only when every child is on board. But the administration needs specific principles and concrete measures if it's to have anything more than a good slogan. Here are the five rules I would adopt as secretary of education. (1) Keep our eyes on the child. The heart of education is the bright moment of connection that occurs when a teacher transfers knowledge or insights or wisdom to a learner. It's light where there was darkness, rich color where there was plainness, substance where there was vapor. The best teachers are those who know each child well and can connect a piece of truth to what a child knows already. Educational policy should focus on that connection. Not on whether schools are shiny or dull, not whether technology is terrific, not on whether the percentage of spending by various government units is strictly proportional. The key question is what do kids need to know for their good? Public schools maintain that the highest good that schools should teach is the "common good." The mission statements of public schools include phrases such as "participating in a democracy," "becoming good citizens," or "preparing to work in a global economy." In contrast, the mission statements of faith-based schools speak of "learning a worldview," "becoming God's servants in a hurting world," and "seeking justice and peace." Unless children learn how information fits into a larger picture, the education they receive is like a box full of unconnected pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. What passes for education in most schools, perhaps also in the home and certainly in the mass media, are bits and pieces of information that pass into children's minds. No fact or opinion is more valuable than another. The quadratic equation sits next to the battles of the Civil War, which stand alongside "i before e except after c," which all sit atop the themes and characters of To Kill a Mockingbird. Most of today's education is like asking students to put together a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle without looking at the picture on the box. The best education for a child includes the picture on the box-a design of the way the world was, is, and will be. In the midst of a knowledge explosion, enhanced by the monstrous storage capacity of personal computers and access to the Internet, our children need more than just the facts. They need a framework in which to fit the pieces of knowledge. No child should be left behind with a clutter of bits and bytes of knowledge; every child deserves a view of the world that is whole. (2) Parents are responsible for their children's education. Jewish and Christian parents are part of the covenant expressed in Deuteronomy 6:4. God loves His people and expects love in return. An integral part of our love for God is teaching our children God's commandments; "Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." In practice, however, many parents have given their responsibility over to the state. And what the state drums into our children, when they walk along the road, when they lie down and when they get up, is a worldview devoid of God. In today's culture it's vital that parents take charge of their children's education. In the past, the institutions of society-extended family, neighborhood, schools, and even the media-helped parents teach their view of life. Not any more. Families are frayed or torn, neighbors ignore each other, and the media package lies so slickly that kids believe the lies to be true. One of these whoppers is the outrageous notion that children and young people can be tolerant of everything and value all things equally. It's an unlivable doctrine, of course; our children will have values when they are 30 and 40. They will have a worldview in which some things are good and others bad, some beautiful and others ugly. It's just a matter of whether the right values are transmitted formally, or whether our children are left to pick up their values piecemeal in an unhealthy cultural cafeteria. Parents must teach their children what's right, from infancy to independence. (3) All parents should have a choice in the education of their children. If parents are to have a real range of options in how they educate their children, they must have money, either to purchase a private education (a hefty burden on top of the tax dollars they already pay for government schools), or to move to a district where the school's mission better matches theirs. Many parents do not have these options. They may be financially strapped, unable to move to a neighborhood that has good schools. They may be unable to afford the tuition for a private or parochial school nearby. It's the child of the single parent who most needs school choice. And yet we know that most single parents have too little time to spend with their children and too little money to choose the right education for their children. That leads to the fourth principle. (4) A just government will provide its first resources to help those parents who have the least choice. America's model for helping parents who are having trouble feeding their children is food stamps, not providing government stores full of free food to all its citizens. Food stamps allow poor parents to choose the food they want and need, with some limitations to prevent them from buying things that aren't food at all, such as alcohol and lottery tickets. This model should apply to education: Help the needy, and let the others be. Government ought to expect parents who are well off to pay for the education of their children, just as they buy groceries as they please, with no government subsidy. Any group of parents could establish a community school with whatever mission that group decides is best. Let them do so, and let them use the money they've been paying in property taxes to fund their own schools instead. (5) Parents need encouragement to nurture their children-but the right kind of encouragement. The best education for a child is one that reinforces the same themes taught by the parents. A good government would support parents in their fundamental responsibility to educate their children. It's not enough for us to demand that the state do a better job of raising our kids for us; we must raise them ourselves. That's why we shouldn't spend our time trying to get prayer back into public-school classrooms. Instead, we should be lobbying legislators to provide support to needy parents so they can choose the right education for their children. Government can also encourage those of us who aren't needy by making those community schools more feasible. Without running afoul of the establishment clause of the Constitution, the government could provide transportation and computers to students, no matter what worldview is taught at the school they attend. Government could also supply vouchers for professional development of teachers, allow tax-free bonds for the building of independent schools, and provide extra stipends to students who have special needs. Some students are left behind. Some are lost in schools so big that only the noisy and the naughty get attention. Some children have parents who see school as a cheap holding tank, a place where their kids will be safe while the parents go off to work. But all of God's children deserve loving parents who choose the education that best comports with their view of the world, their big picture. In a just society, all children and young people should be able to develop their unique gifts for service to others. The best education for children is a seamless one: the truth taught early in the home and with the help of agencies of the parents' choosing. Every child deserves this attention. America needs an array of angels, parents, and their helpers.

CBA update
Campaigns and reports from the CBA
New Director
CBA deputy director Mike Heyworth became director on 1 August, succeeding George Lambrick, who will remain until the October AGM to finish some projects. He is only the fifth director in the CBA's 60 year history (or strictly the fourth, as the first, Beatrice de Cardi, was called the secretary: see My Archaeology).
President Francis Pryor said 'Archaeology has never been more popular in the UK and nobody knows the world of archaeology better than Mike. The CBA is in his blood and I know that he will be an effective campaigner for British Archaeology in the challenging years ahead'. Mike Heyworth told BA about his passion for the subject.
'When I was 14, living in the Test Valley in Hampshire, I was invited to work on an Iron Age settlement in Andover. I was lucky that the local archaeological unit's director, Kevin Stubbs, relied on voluntary weekend labour and provided training and support. After that I worked on a Roman villa, a Mesolithic settlement, a Medieval settlement and within a Saxon Abbey precinct – all by the age of 17!
'I was completely absorbed. My sixth form tutor gave me days off to help on rescue excavations. So I never really considered any other career. I studied prehistory and archaeology at Sheffield University, and then specialised in scientific methods in archaeology at Bradford.
'My first job was a research assistantship looking at a new analytical technique called inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICPS). That led to doctoral research on the technology of Early Medieval glass from Winchester and Southampton. ICPS is now used routinely for chemical analysis of archaeological samples, but it wasn't always routine for me – including the time the fume cupboards stopped in a power cut and the room filled with acid vapour! After that I worked at the English Heritage Ancient Monuments Laboratory in London with Justine Bayley (the sister of our York MP), where I became interested in computers in archaeology.
'In 1990 I joined the CBA to set up a computerised archaeological bibliography for Britain and Ireland, building on Cherry Lavell's amazing work. I have been with the CBA ever since. I'm now the second longest serving employee.
'In those days the CBA had headquarters in London and an office in York. I moved north when I became the new information officer. The London office closed and all staff came together in York at Bowes Morrell House. I was involved in two office moves within six months and I'm not looking forward to another, although we will be in a much stronger position once it is over.
'The CBA's key role is putting people in touch with the past at a variety of levels: promoting public participation, campaigning nationally and locally for the historic environment, and demonstrating what study of the past can offer. I am very pleased we adopted the Young Archaeologists' Club in the mid 1990s: I want to boost the club's services, and engage with more young people. As a charity we focus on education, through publications like this magazine, our expanding web site and information services, and events like National Archaeology Days and our new annual weekend meeting (this year in Belfast 8-10 October). There is a thirst for knowledge about the past. Putting people in touch with their past can improve the quality of their lives. We also need to think about future generations, so our conservation work is vital – particularly commenting on proposals for listed buildings in England and Wales, where we can make a real difference by encouraging appreciation and sympathetic use of older buildings.
'We will need to work with our partners and members, particularly local societies, to persuade politicians that archaeology matters. We are very fortunate to have a committed All Party Parliamentary Group for Archaeology and I hope to work closely with them to influence government to support our sector. If you think you can help us make a difference, do contact me at the CBA offices.'
The CBA is concerned about rumours that the AQA exam board will be dropping GCSE archaeology with a number of other subjects. The reasons for the cull are commercial, not educational. As AQA is the only board that offers GCSE archaeology, this also raises concern over the future of the AS/A level. The CBA is represented on the History and Archaeology Subject Committee of AQA, but was not consulted and has received no notification of the decision.
The CBA and the University of Newcastle are to organise a World Heritage Education Forum in 2005. This will bring together overseas students and teachers to meet their British counterparts. The DCMS are keen to see Britain taking action on this area, and the conference should do a great deal to support future education at World Heritage Sites.
CBA move
Bowes Morrell House in York has become increasingly cramped as staff numbers have grown and the paperless office failed to materialise. It has been purchased by the York Conservation Trust (formed in 1945 by John Bowes Morrell and his brother Cuthbert Morrell), allowing us to move to one of their other premises (the CBA signed a 20 year lease when it took over Bowes Morrell House in 1992). The Grade II listed early Victorian St Mary's House on the north side of York (in Bootham), with five floors, a small garden and large double garage, is close to the York University Department of Archaeology and ten minutes from the railway station. We hope to move in October. CBA members and subscribers are very welcome to call in. Contact details will appear in the next BA.

Each of the past four years, the Prom Closet has given out more than 700 dresses. After prom season, they give about 250 dresses to the Levine Children's Hospital for its prom.
"You should see the place," Aileen Ramirez said. "It looks like we've not given any out!"
The Prom Closet also has some jewelry, shoes and bags, but it does not have tuxedos for the guys, just a few sports jackets.
Anyone can visit the Prom Closet, and no referrals are necessary, as it is for the other Lydia's Loft clothing. Most of the prom shoppers come from Hopewell, which has prom on April 26, and North Mecklenburg, which has prom on May 17. The special needs kids at Hopewell have prom on May 23, and they set up a special day for those kids to shop.
The Prom Closet began four years ago with eight dresses, which Aileen kept at her house until right before the prom season. Then they moved the Prom Closet to an unused room on the third floor of First Baptist Huntersville. Many of the donations come from First Baptist Huntersville church members.
Lydia's Loft is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4-8 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m.-noon Saturdays on the third floor of the education building at First Baptist Church Huntersville, 119 N. Old Statesville Road.
Donations to the Prom Closet are welcome, especially plus-size dresses.

'Noah' opens at Lake Norman theaters
HUNTERSVILLE – The movie "Noah" opens at Regal Birkdale Theatres in Huntersville and Our Town Cinemas in Davidson the weekend of March 28, beginning Thursday night, March 27.
The movie, starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, is about the biblical story of Noah, the flood and the ark.
Some Christians who pre-screened the movie took issue with the artistic license that professing atheist director Darren Aronofsky took with the biblical account.
After the screenings, Paramount recut the movie several times and agreed to issue this disclaimer: "The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis."
Many Muslim countries are refusing to show the film because they do not believe in depicting any of Allah's prophets mentioned in the Koran, Noah among them.
St. Mark Catholic offers fitness class
HUNTERSVILLE – Silver Sneakers offers flex, stretch and strength classes twice a week at St. Mark Catholic.
The classes are a fun way to get fit through a variety of exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of movement and activities for daily living.

It all started with a simple idea – design fresh high-quality unique items. Just one month after I had graduated college, married my high-school sweetheart, moved to Burlington, VT, and started a full-time design job, I found myself brainstorming about launching my own brand centered around my love for typography and minimal design. I felt like the design culture at the time was really lacking in this area, and apparently this design sensibility connected with many people all around the world. What started as an outlet for my passion and entrepreneurial experiment quickly grew into much more than just selling a few shirts.
The Start
It started with a simple idea & our mission remains the same
Create High-Quality, Well-Designed Goods That We Wanted Ourselves
Ugmonk didn't start with a formal business plan and in fact I had very little background in business. Rather than following the "traditional" model of starting a business, I just tried to apply common sense and research to figure things out as they came up. I've found that the best way of learning is by doing.
It's more than just tshirts
It's a mindset.
And then we woke up...
After launching Ugmonk in August of 2008, with just 4 designs and 200 total shirts, things accelerated quickly. We were featured on several blogs and sales started rolling in from countries all around the world. Then things really took off with the release of what's become Ugmonk's signature design And Then I Woke Up.
Going Full Time
Through the first two years, we continued to build Ugmonk by working late nights and weekends refining designs, organizing logistics, and packing orders. Each new release received an enthusiastic response from the community and knowledge of the brand spread organically through word of mouth and online features. My dream of starting my own brand was no longer just a dream.
Just before Ugmonk's 2nd anniversary, I decided to leave my full-time design job so that I could focus all of my energies on the passion that I had for Ugmonk. As part of this change, my wife and I moved back to our hometown in PA, and my parents graciously agreed to allow their house to become the Ugmonk warehouse and shipping center.
I decided to follow my passion and make the jump.
Spreading the Word
Rather than investing lots of money into traditional paid advertising, we've simply relied on word-of-mouth from people that appreciate Ugmonk and want to tell their friends about it. With the help of the internet and social media the reach of word-of-mouth is truly global. As a result Ugmonk products have been shipped to customers in more than 62 countries around the world and have been featured in print publications and spotted on various television media outlets. I've also been invited to share the Ugmonk story and my design philosophy at a variety of design conferences over the past few years.
We've shipped to over
60 Countries
Around the world
Giving Back
Another pillar of Ugmonk is the desire to give back to those in need. Just a few months after opening shop, we decided to hold our first annual Ugmonk Gives Back charity drive – donating a portion of each sale during the holiday season to provide meals to children in orphanages around the world. To date we've been able to supply over 30,000 meals!
We partner with a great organization called Rice Bowls who is extremely efficient in stewarding the donations they receive in order to serve the children in orphanages around the world. My wife and I got to experience this first hand when we were invited to visit a few of the orphanages in Honduras and Nicaragua. We are so grateful for the support of our customers that enables us to give back to these children!
With your support we've provided
Over 30,000 meals for orphans
Keeping it personal
Even as we grow, one thing that I've always wanted for Ugmonk is to maintain the personal touch. We don't try to make Ugmonk look like a big corporation. We are as transparent as possible. This is why I share a lot of the behind the scenes about how I design products and run Ugmonk. No matter how big Ugmonk gets I always want to be accessible to fans and customers. I love connecting with people on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
A family affair
Ugmonk is truly a family run business. My brother is my business partner and technical guru, my mom keeps track of our inventory and ships all of the orders, my sister-in-law handles the customer service and communication, and my wife has been a huge help in a variety of ways over the years. Making it a family affair has been fun and exciting.
What's Next?
Ever since the beginning, Ugmonk has been about my passion for design. I quickly discovered that there was a lot more to running a brand but it's still the creation process that fuels me to keep going. Ugmonk will always remain a design-driven brand where design and quality come first.
The face behind the brand
Jeff Sheldon makes his home in Downingtown, PA with his wife and their Boston Terrier Pixel. He graduated with a B.S. in graphic design in 2008 and has a passion for all things design. When he's not designing or scheming up the next Ugmonk release, he's probably raving about Chipotle, trying to dominate Settlers of Catan, planning his next snowboarding trip, or sleeping.

Jersey Shore's Deena: New teeth like 'headlights'
Jersey Shore's Deena Cortese defines plastic surgery differently than ... well, a plastic surgeon.
Deena Cortese's new choppers, left, reveal only part of the story, a doctor says.
Tip of the iceberg?
Deena Nicole Cortese of MTV's "Jersey Shore'' says she hasn't had any plastic surgery, but an Orange County plastic surgeon says he doubts it. Plus, when does a nose job not qualify as plastic surgery?
Cortese, 25, has been quoted as tweeting:
"just to let ya know..I have not got any plastic surgery..yes in the past i have had a nose job..and i am not against plastic surgery at all..i have thought about getting it redone to round the tip but haven't yet..and don't know if I am..I am not afraid to ADMIT i got plastic surgery so if I do.. I'll let u know.. I thinned my eyebrows..and lost weight thanks to the @freshdiet .. and learned how to do my makeup..lighter eye shadow brings out my eyes..and highlight under my eyes gives an effect of higher cheek bones.. the end. If I get the nose job I'll let ya know =]''
Dr. John Di Saia, a plastic surgeon in San Clemente and Orange, notes the confusion over the nose job in his blog, then peruses some photos and takes a quick inventory of what he interprets as additional plastic surgery:
"Her veneers are a bit bright for my tastes. Any brighter and she won't need headlights on any car she's driving.
"Looking at her image I see changes in her upper eyelids and brow position as well as her upper lip and maybe her facial folds. I'd say she's had upper eyelid surgery, probably a forehead lift and facial fillers. Stay tuned to her twitter @DeenaNicoleMTV for more changes; well at least whether or not she's starts coming clean on them.
"Typically the reality show gals tend to be more forthcoming on their plastic surgery usually as a source of quick PR. Mainstream talent denies it all more often than not.''
Guess that's why he's all up in her grill.

To create an enjoyable dinner, we decide what will taste good, then buy, prepare and eat.
In order for the dinner to be ready, we use our creative mind to visualize the finished product. Then, using our logical mind we plan how to get the vision into solid form. And finally, we physically eat our created vision.
Meditation for reflection
To begin this meditation sit quietly and prepare by doing a few sets of even breathing exercises, such as breathe in 2 counts; breathe out 2 counts; breathe in 2 counts and continue until you feel balanced and peaceful.
Then let your mind turn to reflect on these thoughts: On the universal scale we are seeing a vision that has been brought into physical form; a large sumptuous dinner of stellar objects, plants, animals, ourselves. All aspects interrelating through exchanges of energy to complement and sustain their physical existence.
All parts harmoniously compounded one upon the other in shapes and roles; parts of the whole, and as individuals, completeness in each of the parts.
We are curious about the nature of the Universal Creator that has brought into the physical realm harmonious, rhythmical, cyclical, growing, diversified, and intelligent forms of existence.
As noted above in the experience of dining - we first had a vision, then took the necessary steps to be able to physically eat. Following this logic, we see that our precisely planned and harmoniously functioning physical universe came about from a well thought out and implemented plan.
The Creator used methods we have yet to wholly understand, as our minds are part of what was created. But, we can come to experience our existence as an essential interlocking part of the harmony of the large universal home by living the way that easily functions within the natural rhythms and cycles of everyday life.
We do this by caring, sharing, loving all forms of creation.
When we act in harmony within the creation we are closely aligning to the visionary mind of our Creator. And, as vision is as a root and closer to the Self than the ensuing physical manifestation, we are our very closest to experiencing our Creator when we live harmoniously.
"Experience Creator-Sustainer
By sinking into harmony."
To finish your meditation take a few minutes to record any new insights in your journal. Take a deep breath, slowly release it and go on with your day.

One unfortunate fallout of the extensive media coverage of the bishops' synod on the family is that it plays into the widespread perception that the only societal issues with which the Catholic Church is concerned are those dealing with human life, the family and sex. Of course, the Church is and ought to be vitally concerned with those issues, but there are many others as well. Coincidentally, the end of the synod fell next to a Sunday when the Gospel reading included Jesus' much-abused statement, "Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22.21). The statement is misunderstood when it is used to assert that the Church should not concern itself with political matters.

Once again Western nations, led by the United States and including Canada, are trying to impose a military solution on Middle East countries where terror has overrun any semblance of the common good. It has not worked in the past, and it won't work this time. Indeed, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) grew out of the situation created by the two Iraq wars of the last 25 years. The successful overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein led, not to meaningful peace, but rather to the rise of an even more bloodthirsty monster intent on wreaking murder and mayhem.
Most attention in preparation for the world synod of bishops on the family has focused on whether ways can be found to allow divorced-and-remarried Catholics to receive Communion without having their first marriage annulled. While this is an important topic for discussion, a singular focus on this issue is a symptom of overly legalistic times. When modern Western society has a significant social problem, it habitually seeks a juridical solution. In preparation for the synod, possible changes in Church law have been described in terms of a search for mercy. Mercy, according to Pope St. John Paul II, is "a superabundance of justice." Mercy is more powerful and more profound than justice, the late pope wrote in his encyclical Rich in Mercy (Dives in Misericordia, 4).
The rapidly growing Ebola crisis in West Africa, says Robert Walker, president of the Population Institute, has the potential to become "one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of our time." As of Oct. 9, the estimate of those dead from Ebola had reached 3,865 people worldwide. The disease could do much greater damage than it already has in developing nations with inadequate medical facilities and compromised public health systems, Walker said in an article in The World Post. Medical personnel are particularly susceptible to the disease, and if large numbers of them die, the people could be left to fend for themselves.
One need only compare the stories on the reports given by four Canadian bishops with the efforts of several cardinals to uphold Church teaching on the family and marriage (Pages 18 and 19) to see the huge disconnect between doctrine and pastoral reality in today's Catholic Church. If the chasm between teaching and the lives of today's Catholics widened following Pope Paul VI's reaffirmation in 1968 of the immoral nature of artificial contraception, it has expanded even more during the intervening decades.
Prior to his ordination in 2002, Michael Mireau told the WCR that the priesthood is realized differently in different people. There will be differences in personal taste, appearance, many things. But the minute a priest drops his individual identity and becomes "the priest," Mireau said he stops being human. Because of that, he stops being an effective priest. One thing for sure was that Father Mireau never lost his unique identity, never bowed to whatever pressure there was to compromise the person God had created him to be in order to fit into some watered-down human standard of "the priest."
In a little book called Tears of Silence, published in 1970, Jean Vanier wrote, "He who is or has been deeply hurt has a right to be sure he is loved." A right to be loved? To be sure that you are loved? What a novel concept! Ours is an age of rights (even though those rights are routinely violated the world over). Rights can seal the individual in a cocoon of autonomy, in a protective separation from violence, hatred and other forms of abuse
The murders and disappearances of nearly 1,200 aboriginal women over the past 30 years is one of Canada's greatest national shames. And yes, Prime Minister Harper, while these incidents are criminal matters, they are also a sociological phenomenon. Aboriginal people make up 4.3 per cent of Canada's population. Yet, 16 per cent of female victims of homicide are aboriginal. This is a sociological issue.
The recent document, Sensus Fidei in the Life of the Church, produced by the International Theological Commission (ITC), is a landmark statement that gives great credence to the views of the lay faithful in the formation and presentation of Catholic Church teaching. Unfortunately, the Catholic News Service report published in the July 21 WCR failed to capture the ground-breaking nature of this report.
It is encouraging that 14 married couples have been invited to the World Synod of Bishops on the Family next month. One hopes that a significant majority of these couples have had the joyous and demanding experience of raising children. Unfortunately, this cannot be taken for granted, despite the Church's own emphasis on procreation as an essential end of marriage. Too often, the couples the Church holds up for imitation are those who have lived marriage in a state of celibacy or who, at least, have been childless with the result that they can better devote their time to various ministries.

Growers, dairies, packers, and other food and beverage producers all runs operations that can benefit from the latest energy management best practices. To keep their costs down, savvy operators use rate analyses, pump tests and process optimization audits to identify their best options, Audit recommendations often include re-scheduling operations to take advantage of a demand response program or a time-of-use rate, and making hardware improvements like installing advanced irrigation equipment, high efficacy lighting, or premium efficiency motors and HVAC equipment (e.g., variable speed drives, plate coolers, compressor heat recovery units, scroll compressors, time clocks, ventilation controls) and more.
Trigger Sheets: This handy trigger sheet summarizes sections of Title 24, Part 6 energy code that are triggered based on project scope. The sections indicated on these trigger sheets can help identify energy code requirements for your project.
Fact Sheets: Download this fact sheet to read a summary of key requirements, definitions and resources that are useful to implement Title 24, Part 6 energy code.
Demand response (DR) is an energy management strategy that allows electricity consumers to receive financial compensation for temporarily reducing or rescheduling power use upon request. DR creates opportunities for building owners and managers to realize financial, operational, and environmental benefits by changing energy use patterns in response to market signals.
Supermarkets, grocery stores and convenience stores have the second highest energy consumption of major building types in California, with electricity representing over 80% of this, and with energy-intensive refrigeration consuming the greatest fraction of electricity.
A building may contain a vast array of efficiency measures, or it may be old and inefficient. Either way, the electricity used in the building will likely be produced with inherent inefficiencies. The efficiency of fossil fuel based electricity production averages 34% (although new combined cycle plants can exceed 50% efficiency). The ultimate efficiency of any building pulling electricity from the grid is limited by that number.
Though more costly to install and more complicated to operate, a chiller plant offers a number of benefits over simple packaged cooling units, including greater energy efficiency, better controllability, and longer life.
Centrifugal pumps perform many important functions to control the built environment. The physics and basic mechanics of pumps have not changed substantially in the last century.
To truly minimize the energy use of a drivepower system-which includes the motor, its controls, and the connection between the motor and the equipment it drives-designers need to consider how these components operate as a system rather than looking at them on an individual basis.
Evaporative coolers provide cool air by forcing hot dry air over a wetted pad. The water in the pad evaporates, removing heat from the air while adding moisture. Although the concept has been used in residential "swamp" coolers in the Southwest for decades, technology advances have made evaporative cooling a viable alternative to conventional cooling in commercial buildings and in other areas of the country.
Energy costs are a significant expense
for facilities that operate industrial refrigeration
systems. In new construction projects, significant energy
savings can be achieved by incorporating energy efficiency
technologies in the project design. For facilities being expanded
or upgraded, ensuring the efficiency of the refrigeration systems
can lead to significant energy savings without compromising
Process heating is a significant
source of energy consumption in the industrial and
manufacturing sectors, and it often results in a large amount of
waste heat that is discharged into the atmosphere.
Compressed air - commonly called the
fourth utility - is in high demand in most industrial
facilities. Despite its widespread application, however, up
to two-thirds of the compressed air systems in operation have
either an obvious problem that affects production or a hidden
problem that drives compressed air production costs higher.
This brief explores techniques for
identifying and solving pump system problems commonly
encountered in existing buildings during retro-commissioning
The kitchen ventilation system is one of the largest energy-consuming end uses of a commercial food service facility. In a typical restaurant, the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system represents 20 to 30 percent of total energy consumption. The kitchen ventilation system can account for up to 50 percent of that HVAC load.
New high-intensity fluorescents outshine their high-intensity discharge competitors. They are often more efficient and feature lower lumen depreciation rates, better dimming options, instant start-up, and better color rendition.

I guess I'll be the first to ask:
Has Zimbra gotten their hands on an iPhone yet? Any idea how it will integrate with Zimbra Mobile? It's apparently running OSX, so will it be iCal sync?
I guess I'll be the first to ask:
Has Zimbra gotten their hands on an iPhone yet? Any idea how it will integrate with Zimbra Mobile? It's apparently running OSX, so will it be iCal sync?
We are all still gathering data on the device and we have been chatting with Apple. At a minimum, we will support IMAP and tethered sync via the Zimbra Connector for Apple iSync. Please post any good specs that you see on the device and we can look at other ways to sync to the device.
I watched and enjoyed the keynote speech and figured that if it supports IMAP, then it'll work just fine with Zimbra email, no mention of how it read calendar data was given though.
I dont want to speculate on a device that I cant buy yet, but I'd really like it if Zimbra was fully compatible with this thing - I think it's reasonably obvious that the device will be popular. We have people in work wanting IPaq's so they can see their email and calendar's (I got the email working easy, I gave up on the calendar) so if Zimbra make the iPhone work fully (in the OSS version) then I personally would be a very happy guy
ideally of course we want over the air syncing with zimbra mobile (no idea what it will have on it to support that) and push email (push imap I guess is their answer there) ;-) then we have a great advantage for Apple users who will almost certainly want this phone rather than the MS equivalents
All we want that beauty to sync with zimbra mobile, it would not just be a fun and charming phone.. It would be a very useful tool at a reasonable price.. Let's wait, I'll buy one if it syncs.
Seems to me that the Zimbra team should have been on the list for an advance unit so they can begin testing on it.
Although, the rumors I've been hearing since the keynote about lack of development flexibility seems troubling.
While reading Mossberg's review of the iPhone he mentions that it can connect with email systems using active sync, while Apple has yet to release specs on this I can only assume, and hope that this same connection will work with zimbra mobile in the same method. Now, anyone want to buy me one so I can test?
More evidence of the iPhone being compatible with Zimbra ?
More evidence of iPhone's Exchange support and RSS reader - Engadget
So, you US geeks, who got his own today ?

|As is the case with most Thermos products, it is exceptionally thought out and of high quality. This is made up of two pieces, the bottom, dual-walled stainless base and a rubber gasket that forms a very near air-tight seal around the can preventing ambient air from spoiling the insulating properties of the base. The only flaw in the design is that ambient air can still get inside the sip hole of the can, hence allowing some heat transfer to occur, which isn't so much a flaw of the insulator as it is a built-in feature of the can it is insulating. It is neat to forget about your beverage, return to it an hour later, and be surprised by just how cold your beverage still is. I love this product and almost refuse to enjoy a cold can of Coke without this thing!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.

Doomed to Dance.
Fans of Ivy and Bean rejoice. Book 6 in the series, Ivy + Bean Doomed to Dance, has arrived, and once again the two sassy best friends are in a fix. This time, they've convinced their reluctant parents to let them take ballet lessons, with the caveat that they can neither quit nor complain. Thinking they'll learn to jump and kick in ballet class, they're dismayed to discover they're supposed to be graceful – not their thing at all. Not only are they decidedly ungraceful; even worse, they're "bored out of their minds." They hate being butterflies and instead of delicately kitty-jumping across the floor, they clump. They tough it out, grumbling to one another, until they learn they're fated to be squids in the upcoming recital, gently waving their tentacles in the air. Determined to figure a way out, they contemplate spraining their arms so they can't wave them, catching some germs so they'll be too sick to perform, worrying a lot about feeling stupid on a stage in front of a whole bunch of people. Finally, they fix on the ultimate escape: running away. Instead, being Ivy and Bean, they get lost and in trouble. High spirited, inventive and just a little obstreperous, these two un-princesses and their adventures make lively reading for kids comfortable with chapter books. It's cheering to know, now that Number 6 has arrived, that Number 7 is in the works.

After five tough years, the nation's wealth has finally pushed above the former pre-recession peak. Household net worth in 2013 has topped $70 trillion for the first time, exceeding the old 2007 mark by more than $2 trillion, the Federal Reserve reported last month.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the gains haven't been shared by everyone, with the rich-poor divide widening. One study, by the Pew Research Center, estimates that the 7 percent of most-affluent households saw a 28 percent jump in wealth from 2009 to 2011, while everyone else got 4 percent poorer.
Why are affluent households doing better than the nation overall? Many factors are at play. In part, it's a result of higher salaries and income generally. But there might also be attitudinal differences, including the ways wealthy people deal with risk and how they approach investing.
One surprise is that inheritances don't seem to be a dominant factor. In a recent survey by BMO Private Bank, two-thirds of the 482 high-net-worth respondents described themselves as self-made millionaires, earning wealth mostly on their own. Only 3 percent attributed it to an inheritance, and 1 percent got it through divorce.
"People seem to think that most millionaires inherit it, but that's not the case," said Matt Miller, a senior managing director at BMO Private Bank in Scottsdale. "Many of the respondents said they started their own business. For the rest, it's a combination of factors."
In a separate survey of more than 700 multimillionaires by U.S. Trust, 25 percent of respondents attributed most of their wealth to an inheritance. The majority, 64 percent, said they grew up in middle- or lower-income families.
Most respondents in the BMO study also described themselves as well-educated, with more than 90 percent having attended college and 54 percent earning a professional or graduate degree.
This is a lesson worth heeding, given that only 46 percent of Phoenix-area residents believe a college education is worth the financial cost, down from 77 percent in 2009, according to a Country Financial survey this month. Less-educated individuals on average earn much less over a lifetime and have an unemployment rate two to three times higher compared with those with college degrees, especially advanced ones.
Clate Mask fits the mold of being both well-educated and self-made. The son of a teacher, he earned an economics degree from Arizona State University, and both an MBA and law degree from Brigham Young University. He starting working at a technology company, drawing a salary but not stock options.
"I saw what could be created" by owning a stake in a company, he said. "In technology, it's all about the ownership of stock."
So Mask left that firm and co-founded his own company 11 years ago. Called Infusionsoft and based in Chandler, the firm provides sales and marketing software to small businesses. It now employs 500 people, has received various awards and recently garnered $54 million in financing from Goldman Sachs. Mask, 41, is a millionaire and a BMO client.
The first three years were "brutal and incredibly difficult" as the young company struggled to find customers, he explained. The next two years were better but hardly robust. "It wasn't until after five or six years that we really built up strong income with value creation," he said.
Mask considers an entrepreneurial spirit and education to be important for wealth creation, along with a willingness and ability to persevere.
"The world is full of obstacles and roadblocks, including social and psychological ones," he said. "Many people would rather not battle through them."
Another factor that makes millionaires different is the scope of their investment portfolios. A more diversified and risk-tolerant focus has enabled wealthy households to rebound faster, according to the Pew study.
While homeownership is associated with the American dream and bank accounts form the financial backbone for the middle class, neither area has done well over the past half-dozen years. Rather, investments such as stocks, mutual funds and even bonds have fared better. Affluent individuals typically have stakes in all of these areas and others, viewing investments as a way to expand their wealth and worrying less about not losing anything.
"The nation's households with at least $500,000 of net worth were more likely to own (non-deposit) financial assets," wrote Pew researchers Richard Fry and Paul Taylor.
By contrast, several asset classes that have fared poorly are more widely held, they add. These include bank accounts, motor vehicles and, until recently, homes and rental properties.
A separate study by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management estimates the worldwide millionaire count rose 9.2 percent last year to 12 million, including an 11.5 percent jump in the U.S. and Canada to 3.7 million. The increases were fueled "largely on the strength of global equity markets," the report said.
Everyone needs a rainy-day cash reserve that can be used to meet emergency expenses. Less-affluent people can't be blamed for holding some money in conservative instruments, especially given the uncertain job market.
Still, most people are more wary of risk-taking than they should be. Though not widely recognized, stocks actually are among the most populist types of investments — open to virtually anyone regardless of income or assets, especially when accessed through mutual funds, dividend-reinvestment plans or workplace 401(k) programs, where subsidies are commonly offered to smaller investors in the form of matching funds.
In the U.S. Trust study, 95 percent of multimillionaires expressed confidence in their financial skills and knowledge, which is probably much higher than the figure for society at large. Two in three wealthy respondents said this knowledge was mostly self-taught.
Affluent households have more stock-market exposure than Americans generally. Along with education, attitudes and other factors, it helps to explain why the rich have gotten richer.

If the particular demographics of attenders, their storied backgrounds, and the peculiar aspects of their social and economic circumstances fail to conform to an "ideal scenario" of "ultimate" diversity, we might find ourselves disappointed. This appears to be one of the most important aspects of Richard Pitt's critique. Pitt desires a different "ideal" case for analysis, a church with black leadership and a clear black dominance that successfully integrates whites. Such an analysis is sorely needed, but this does not reflect the dynamics of Oasis nor does it address what has been one of the most pressing questions among scholars of diversity over the past decade. Given that any black-white integration is rare, I would not so easily dismiss the specifics of this case. Indeed, rather than merely reverse the case, I want to radicalize the critique. It is time to more purposefully examine diversity beyond the "racial divide," and I suggest here several ways we can expand the research agenda on diverse congregations.

On This Page
Programming Languages, Development, and Education
Code Contracts provide a language-agnostic way to express coding assumptions in Microsoft .NET programs. Code Contracts tools include a runtime checker, a static checker based on abstract interpretation, and a documentation generator. See tutorial at VSTTE.
F# 3.0 extends the succinct and expressive F# language so you can program directly against rich spaces of data and services, such as databases, web services, web data feeds, and data brokers. F# is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and is developed as a partnership between Microsoft Research and the Microsoft Visual F# team.
TouchDevelop is a radically new software development environment on the Windows Phone, bringing the excitement of the first programmable personal computers to the phone. Program with TouchDevelop on Windows Phones at the Microsoft table in the foyer!
Pex for fun brings programming in C#, Microsoft Visual Basic, and F# to your web browser. Click the Ask Pex! button to compile, run, and analyze your code by using the automatic test generation capabilities of Pex. Interactive code duels challenge you to write code that matches a secret implementation. Many teachers are using Pex for fun in their courses today.
Verification Tools
BEK is a domain-specific language for writing common string manipulating functions and is combined with state-of-the-art analysis based on symbolic transducers (see POPL paper by Veanes et al.) With BEK, you can answer questions like: "Are these two programs equivalent?" or "Does the order matter?"
Chalice is a programming language for investigating the correctness of concurrent programs. Its specifications are based on Implicit Dynamic Frames and fractional permissions. It can be used to reason about fine-grain locks and sharing, threads, and channels. Hear more about Chalice at the POPL TutorialFest.
Dafny is an imperative, object-oriented programming language with classes and inductive datatypes, and specification constructs for describing intended behavior. The Dafny static verifier, built on Boogie, checks the consistency of the program and these specifications. Look for the Dafny Tutorial at VSTTE.
F* is a new verification-oriented language based on F#. Specifications in F* are stated using dependent types and its certified typechecker (see POPL paper) makes use of an SMT solver to provide a powerful, semi-automated way to certify the correctness of higher-order programs. F* compiles to .NET bytecode in a type-preserving style.
Poirot is a static analysis tool for helping programmers detect and debug errors in concurrent and asynchronous systems. Poirot can detect application-specific errors, including data races, deadlocks, assertion failures, and protocol violations. POPL paper by Joshi, Lahiri, Lal uses Poirot.
SLAyer is a program analysis tool designed to prove the absence of memory safety errors using Separation Logic. SLAyer is aimed at moderately sized (10–30K) systems-level code bases written in C; it is fully automatic and does not require annotations or hints from the programmer.
The TLA Toolbox is an IDE for writing and running debugging tools on specifications written in the TLA+ language, a very expressive high level specification language. Writing and checking TLA+ specs allow software designers to catch errors before any code is written, complementing the many tools for finding coding errors. Hear Leslie Lamport talk at LADA.
VCC is an industrial-strength verification environment (deductive verifier, verification debugger, proof progress monitor, IDE integration) for low-level concurrent systems code written in C. VCC has been used to verify the functional correctness of tens of thousands of lines of commercial operating system code. Hear more about VCC at LADA and VSTTE.
Verification Infrastructure
Boogie is a first-order intermediate verification language, used by program verifiers, program checkers, and other program analyzers to formulate verification conditions (VCs). More than a dozen verification tools are built on Boogie, including VCC, HAVOC, Dafny, and Chalice. Boogie uses Z3 to discharge VCs.
Symbolic Automata is a toolkit that lifts classical automata analysis to work modulo rich alphabet theories. The toolkit supports analysis of finite symbolic automata and symbolic transducers (see POPL paper by Veanes et al.), internalizing automata as Z3 theories.
Z3 is a high-performance theorem prover that supports linear real and integer arithmetic, fixed-size bit-vectors, extensional arrays, uninterpreted functions, and quantifiers. Z3 is integrated with a number of program analysis, testing, and verification tools from Microsoft Research. Z3 is now available for commercial use.

Immaturity and Low IQ May Predict Psychosis: Small Study of Adolescents Suggests That a Broader Neurobiologic Basis for Psychosis Might Exist
Sullivan, Michele G., Clinical Psychiatry News
BAL HARBOUR, FLA. -- Adolescents with psychosis demonstrate neurodevelopmental abnormalities that, when combined with age and intelligence testing, correctly discriminate them from adolescents without mental illness, Dr. David Arciniegas reported in a poster presentation at the annual meeting of the American Neuropsychiatric Association.
The findings of his small observational study indicate that a broader neurobiologic basis for psychosis might exist in this population. "It seems most likely that aberrant neurodevelopment manifests clinically in multiple domains of neuropsychiatric function: cognition, behavior, and elemental neurological function," said Dr. Arciniegas of the University of Colorado, Denver.
He compared 12 adolescents with psychotic illnesses with 13 healthy adolescent controls. Six of the adolescents had schizophrenia; six had bipolar disorder with psychotic features. The subjects were aged 10-18 years. In addition to a general clinical evaluation and elemental neurologic examination, all subjects received the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS), the Weschler general intelligence test, and the Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES).
The NES is a structured clinical examination of integrative sensory function, motor coordination, motor inhibition, complex motor sequencing, primitive reflexes, eye movements, and short-term memory. Normal children generally exhibit higher NES scores, which decline as they mature. This pattern was noted in the normal controls: NES scores were inversely correlated with age, with younger patients scoring around 15 and older patients scoring below 10.
Among adolescents with psychosis, however, the NES score did not correlate with age. The mean score for all patients was 20, regardless of age. "The kids with psychosis look much more immature than one would expect, and they are not maturing as they get older," Dr. …

Todd Phillips Delivers a Most Welcome 'Hangover'
Todd Phillips may never be afforded the same respect as his more venerated peers, if only because directors who spend their careers chronicling the foolishness of badly behaving men rarely do. But it's hard to ignore his track record.
Save for his remake of Robert Hamer's 1960 comedy School for Scoundrels, unseen by me but roundly dismissed by others, Phillips has earned justified praise for his affable depictions of testosterone-driven silliness in movies like Road Trip and Old School. The Hangover finds him going to the well once more, with results that are laughably deranged but hardly preposterous to anyone who's ever lost a weekend in Vegas.
