A few photos that were hanging out on my phone from the last couple of weeks...
//We date sometimes because we're in love.//
//I accidentally went on a shopping spree when I had to vacate my apartment for fire alarm testing. Along those lines, is there a magical age when you are no longer allowed to shop at Forever 21? I hope not.//
//Coffee is even more delicious when made in my mom's new kitchen.//
//He's comfortable.//
//This past weekend we reorganized my mom's pantry and I'm in love with it. Anything well-organized is my weakness. Blog post coming soon!//
//Pretty skies and an awkward selfie. The usual.//
//In case you didn't realize, Valentine's day is upon us, so we made a garland and decorated my mom's mantel.//
//Boots with the fur, sweatpants, the bachelor and a glass of wine are an alright way to end a long day.//
//Why yes, my desktop is always that cluttered, thanks for asking.//
//Fun with play-dough at church.//

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hi, I'm sorry, just to be clear...
Are you still married?
yes we are still married and while my lawyer is trying to get an agreement - this is going on for months. I have been told it takes 15 to 20 hours of legal time to do such a motion. is that possible?
Thank you for the additional information, Sharon. Let me start by saying that I am sorry you are going through this. I am located in NY, and I know how frustrating it can be to go through the process here.
A divorce or legal separation can take months, even years, to settle and finalize. In the meantime, your circumstances can change dramatically. During that time, your spouse may stop paying certain bills or significantly reduce his financial contribution to your family. The two of you may be unable to agree on child custody and visitation issues or on which one of you should stay in the family home. Under the stress of a divorce, your spouse may become uncharacteristically verbally, emotionally, or physically abusive. So, even if you don't need emergency relief at the start of the divorce, you may need it at some point during the divorce proceedings.
At any time after the summons or petition has been filed and before the judge finalizes the divorce, your lawyer can file an application with the court for emergency relief. A judge will review the application, which is filed as an order to show cause. Your attorney then serves the emergency relief motion on your spouse or their attorney, if they have one.
To answer your question, I would say that 15-20 hours is in the reasonable range. The general process is this: a application is filed with the court - usually financial information has to be provided and documented for a spousal support order. A judge reviews the application, and then your attorney would serve it on your spouse. Your spouse's attorney would then file a response and possibly a cross motion. At that point, both parties have to go to court for a hearing. By that point, you are approaching the 15 hour range.
Even "emergency" orders can take months to complete. I'm so sorry you are going through this - please let me know if you have follow up questions.
Just a note - it takes some time to respond, so don't start a new question each time. If you need to send me more info, hit "Reply to Expert."
Thank you so much and I hope this information is helpful! If my response is helpful to you, please leave positive feedback! Before leaving negative feedback, please let me know if you have follow up questions by hitting REPLY to Expert. I am always happy to answer follow up questions.Just Answer experts DO NOT provide legal services.

i should also tell you that we are married 26 years and I am 75 and he is 81 years old so I don't have a lot of time to waste. I don't have that much staying power or financial support to spend a fortune more on legal fees while he has a business, etc.
Hello again,
I understand completely. Unfortunately, the system takes time - this may be why your attorney is trying to work something out between the parties, which is usually much faster than litigating or going to court over every issue.
Thank you, and let me know if you have additional follow up questions.

Mom charged with endangering kids
WILKES-BARRE - A Wilkes-Barre woman told police to take her children and get out of her apartment when officers arrived at her house around midnight Wednesday, police say.
Meghann E. Jones, 30, of 2 Airy St., Apt. 5, originally called the police to report her home had been broken into, police say.
When police arrived, Ms. Jones was highly impaired. Two young children were at the house at the time, and a neighbor took both to her apartment.
According to the affidavit, Ms. Jones never asked where her children were, if they were OK, or if she could be with them. However, she was concerned someone took her bottle of alcohol and wanted it back.
Ms. Jones is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of children and two counts of disorderly conduct. She remains at Luzerne County Correctional Facility on $7,500 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 18.

This thesis explores the use of public digital situated displays to support a sense of community in a rural village by sharing community-generated content, such as material that promotes a shared history or awareness of current events. Situated displays are particularly suited to use in a central community space where residents engage with each other, and can be designed as simple artefacts that do not exclude those uncomfortable with technology. In designing community displays, it is important to harness local knowledge to design technologies that are relevant to the deployment environment and sensitive to local issues and needs. For this reason, the approach described in this thesis involves community members in a design process centred on the iterative development of prototype displays that are deployed in the wild for extended periods of time. Observation of interaction with the displays and feedback collected through meetings, attendance at public events and others means is used to gradually improve prototypes to meet the needs of the community. This has been achieved through work in Wray, a rural village in North West England that has volunteered to serve as a testbed for computing research. Work in the village over a period of over four years has found that public situated displays of photos and notices can support community members old and new as well as visitors, while the iterative approach has proved to be a valuable means of engaging the community.

Hi, would someone please explain how to "extract" the 75 bible versions into E-sword. I've tried with my limited knowledge to no avail......thx
This download works great. It DOES include 75 Bibles, but you need to extract them and move them into the E-sword program. Not that difficult. Thanks, uploader! I had already purchased several of the Bibles, but lost them when my computer crashed. I could not find my purchase receipts, so I am very glad to find these available to me.

Sexual assault is a crime in Pennsylvania and is defined as a person engaging in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse with another person without their consent. The defendant may have committed statutory sexual assault if the victim was under 16 years of age, and the defendant is more than four years older than the victim, and they were not married to each other at the time of the offense.
Pennsylvania also has a separate charge titled "indecent assault." Indecent assault is similar to sexual assault in some ways. It involves indecent contact with the victim, including the victim's contact with the defendant's seminal fluid, urine, or feces for the purpose of arousing sexual desire in either the victim or defendant, and it is done without the victim's consent, forcibly or under threat of force, or performed under some severe incapacity of the victim (i.e. unconsciousness, mental incapacity, intoxication of the victim, youth of the victim).
Defenses to Sexual Assault Charges
- Consent was given
- Age
- Intoxication
- Insanity
- Defendant was the victim's spouse at the time of the offense
Penalties and Sentences
Sexual assault is considered a second degree felony in Pennsylvania. This is punishable by up to ten years in prison. Discretionary fines may also be imposed by the court depending on the nature of the crime and its severity. In the event of insanity, the judge may recommend counseling or psychiatric treatment as necessary.
In the event that the crime is charged as an indecent assault, then the charge will be either a first or second degree misdemeanor depending on the specific nature of the offense. This can be punishable by up to five years in prison. However, if it is the defendant's second offense or there has been a repeated course of this type of conduct, or if the assault was committed by touching the victim's sexual parts with those of the defendant, then it can be a third degree felony. This is punishable by up to seven years in prison.

Astro Ape CEO Chieh Huang, along with a number of his colleagues, have changed their profile information to positions within Zynga NY, one of the global companies few east coast studios. Specifically, Business Insider cites Astro Ape's director of engineering, who has taken the exact same title within Zynga's New York office.
So, the website deduces that Zynga has more than likely acquired Astro Ape. And what an interesting turn of events. Just recently, Huang called out Zynga, claiming that his studio was better than the omnipresent Facebook games creator.
"It sounds like a basic concept, but I think it's getting lost a bit today in social gaming. Our users come into our apps because they want to play our games, not because we spam them with invites, requests and other offers," Huang said months ago, indirectly referring to Zynga.
[Via VentureBeat]
Do you think this is enough proof that Zynga has bought Astro Ape? What do you think Astro Ape would bring to Zynga, and will it involve its existing games? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
If your financial circumstances change in the middle of a Chapter 13 Plan, you can frequently file a Motion to Modify the Plan to reduce the payment amount, or reduce the duration of the Plan. If this is not feasible, you can also sometimes convert the Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 and get a discharge. Of course, reducing the Plan payment amount or conversion may have an adverse affect on certain debts, such as if you are catching up home arrearage or paying for a car in your Chapter 13 Plan and those debts are not paid yet. Or, if you are in Chapter 13 to protect equity in an asset beyond your exemption limits, you may have issues if you try to reduce the Plan payment so much that you are no longer paying enough to protect those assets (called the Best Interest of Creditors Test). Or, if you filed a Chapter 7 within 8 years of the filing date of the current Chapter 13, you cannot convert the Chapter 13 to Chapter 7. So, there are lots of issues that can come up with changing a Plan payment or conversion, but these options are frequently helpful so I strongly recommend you advise your attorney of your decrease in income so you can see which option suits your circumstances best.
I hope this helps and a positive feedback is always appreciated if this was useful to you.

AP SOUNDBITE of Assistant Secretary Campbell's Remarks on North Korea during meetings with South Korean officials.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY CAMPBELL: We believe that our alliance is fully up to the challenge. And we are working across many areas to ensure that we are taking an appropriate and responsible set of responses to the Cheonan tragedy.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY CAMPBELL: The international community must take a strong stance in the face of this provocation, and that's one of the things that we discussed in great detail. We've been very clear that sending a strong message of vigilance, both in terms the alliance, but also a very clear message of how unacceptable this sort of provocation, this undermining of the armistice, is.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY CAMPBELL: We believe profoundly and deeply that all doubt has been removed about the cause of the Cheonan sinking. And the clear perpetrator of this act was North Korea.

Sony are set to announce a new open interchange file format for the interactive 3D gaming industry called 'Collada', which will be used across middleware programs for next generation game development. This new file format is supported by several big names in the computer graphics and middleware industry such as Alias (the makers of Maya) and Criterion (the makers of Renderware) and many others including Discreet, Emidigo, Novodex, Softimage and Vicarious Visions.
If you combine this with the recent news that Sony has joined Khronos Group to support OpenGL/ES, OpenMAX, OpenVG and OpenML, it seems evident that Sony is quietly fighting back against Microsoft's XNA with its own open game development platform.Source: Official Collada Site

10 Most Depressing States in the U.S.
West Virginia
The Mountain State is ranked last or next-to-last in every mental-health category on our list, including the average number of "mentally unhealthy" days residents have per month and the percentage of people who experience frequent mental distress (15%).
One reason may be that roughly two-thirds of West Virginians live in rural areas, where both steady jobs and access to mental health care can be hard to come by. A 2000 study found that while nearly 1 in 3 residents living in rural areas had "a high level" of depression symptoms, almost half had never been treated for the condition by any doctor, let alone a psychiatrist or mental-health specialist.

With over 200 patterns available on PureApplication Systems to choose from, picking just one pattern that causes my heart to pitter patter is tough. However, I will try to pick my top 3 for this week.
First, the entire concept of a pattern – elements combined together that can be repeated time and time again with the same result. The pattern concept alone definitely engages the pitter of my heart. Joe Bohn in his blog post: Getting back to the basics shares his definition of a pattern as:
"A pattern is a collection of elements that describes a complete software solution, potentially involving multiple interconnected systems, as a single entity. All of the knowledge to create, configure, and support every aspect of the solution is included in the pattern. Once created, these patterns can be easily shared and reused by others who don't have (and now don't need) the same level of expertise"
My first pattern to share has to be the IBM Mobile Application Platform Pattern. Why? My cell phone is charging right next to my laptop! This PureApplication System pattern provides a complete mobile development environment with optimized runtime middleware among other features. From an infrastructure and development standpoint, the question isn't when are we going to be mobile, the question is why are we not there yet and what do we need to be there…yesterday! With the mobile pattern, this allows for an environment that can be repeatedly deployed in minutes vs days. Once the application is written and ready for deployment, PureApplication System's built in scaling policies can be configured to meet your peak usage. Is there more to this pattern – yes this short video gives a great introduction:
The expert integrated systems blog has had a number of posts regarding Business Intelligence Patterns. The Business Intelligence Pattern with Blu Acceleration as described by James Kobielus is "designed for high-speed BI analytics on large volumes of data that use DB2 as their underlying database, or that can be brought from other systems into the BLU Acceleration landing zone". Do I need to say more – high speed analytics on large volumes of data. Having analytics available to decision makers allows you to address opportunities or make changes that will benefit your business. In our hyper-connected world not having access to analytics could seriously impact a company's bottom line!
The final pattern that gives me a full on pitter is a bit more along the lines of comic strip Dilbert. Business Process! We all have business processes we need to document, automate, improve, or simply get the data points that are needed to retire it. The Business Process Manager Application Pattern provides clients the ability to 'focus our critical resources on value-add activities and less on installation, configuration, and management'. In addition, it helps to proliferate business process management from a single project to a program across your enterprise'. Is it possible that BPM implementations companies would reduce the 'content/topics' for Dilbert? Take a tour of this pattern and its functionality in this YouTube video "Accelerate Efficiency with Business Process Management"
These three patterns are simply a subset of the library of patterns available to run on PureApplication Systems. What pattern makes your heart pitter patter? Stop by the PureSystems Booth at Pulse February 24 – February 26, 2014 to tell us or ask questions about PureApplication System Patterns to our highly skilled 'love doctors'.

Unanswered: Inject VBScript include and function call into ExtJS 4 w/ MVC
Strange request, but bear with me...
We need to do some spell checking on an internal ExtJS application.
The key there is "internal" which means we have a known platform of Internet Explorer with Microsoft Word installed, and one of the "nice to haves" is to use the user's own dictionary in Word.
I have a nice little piece of code which I've used a lot previously to do exactly this... but my problem is that it's in VBScript so I will need to either inject this script into my page at some point, or a reference to an include, and then call that function, all in my ExtJS 4.1.3 MVC app.
What is the best/recommended way of doing this?
The VBScript function is very simple, and is currently in an include file, and consists of the following code. Remember that this needs to stay as VBScript to interact with the Windows environment and launch Word.
function Spelling_Grammar(TextValue) Dim objWord, objDocument, strReturnValue Set objWord = CreateObject("word.Application") if objWord IS NOTHING then MsgBox "Microsoft Word is not installed!" & vbCr & "This is required to check spelling.", vbCritical, "Error" else objWord.WindowState = 2 objWord.Visible = False 'Create a new instance of Document Set objDocument = objWord.Documents.Add objDocument.Content=TextValue objDocument.CheckSpelling 'Return checked text and quit Word strReturnValue = objDocument.Content objDocument.Close False objWord.Application.Quit True MsgBox "Spelling Check Complete!", vbInformation, "Spelling" end if Spelling_Grammar=strReturnValue End function
onClick="document.all.boxId.value = Spelling_Grammar(document.all.boxId.getText())">
Any thoughts appreciated!

Statistically Accurate Network Measurements
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractEstimations of Internet loss rates from measurements often have large statistical errors. Any meaningful application of Internet loss measurement therefore needs to incorporate these uncertainties in the results. However, estimating measurement errors is difficult as it requires the knowledge of the loss process itself. Many experiments use a simple and unrealistic Bernoulli model for the loss process and severely underestimate these errors. Here we develop SAIL a measurement tool that can accurately estimate not only the loss rate of an end-to-end path but also its statistical errors. The key idea in our method is to capture the correlation between packet losses using an ON/OFF renewal model and to use a Hidden Semi- Markov Model algorithm to infer the parameters of the ON and OFF periods from measurement data. Once the model parameters are known, statistical properties of the loss process such as the loss rate, its variance, and the distribution of the loss and no-loss bursts can be easily computed. This is co-work with Hung Nguyen.
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Art and Climate Change
Artists can communicate stories and act to inspire real change. Resurgence has always worked side by side with artists to do just that, and regularly features work by varied artists and poets in the magazine.
Here, we have highlighted articles and projects that outline how art is being used practically to spread messages or educate, or simply illustrate how art inspires. We will be adding more to these pages over time.
External links and exhibitions
- Cape Farewell: instigating a cultural response to climate change
- The Rise of Climate Change Art
- Arts on climatechangeeducation.org
- Artists Project Earth: a better world through music and the arts
Articles featured in Resurgence magazine
Ghost Forest: Highlighting the depletion of the world's resources
Ghost Forest is a major art installation consisting of ten rain forest tree stumps which were brought to Europe from a commercially-logged primary forest in Ghana, Western Africa by the artist Angela Palmer. The work is intended to highlight the alarming depletion of the world's natural resources, and in particular the continued rate of deforestation.
Artists' Project Earth: Addressing climate change through the arts
APE works with artists, musicians and writers to raise awareness of the issues of climate change, but also to financially support the myriad inspiring 'grassroots' solutions to these problems and provide help for those affected by natural disasters.
Cape Farewell: Burning Ice
Artists can communicate stories and emotions on a human scale. The Cape Farewell project tangibly connects artists with climate change and in turn the artists convey these stories to us. That is why this project is so powerful.
Art Therapy: Unlocking the Grief
Grief is not a rational thing. Neither is it just sadness. It is a cauldron of conflicting feelings that make little sense when experienced together but which carry our heart's truth into the world when honoured separately. Grief is also an incredibly powerful force for change.
Eternal Beauty
It would seem that most philosophers, aestheticians, art historians and even scientists and mathematicians think that beauty is invariant. For the many amongst us, who have trouble recognising and appreciating those things they have declared beautiful, and the many who don't wish to be bothered with an engagement with beauty, the experts generally recommend better education and cultivating refinement and sensitivity.

If you love gardening but hate the allergies you suffer through, changing what you grow could help. Pollen-producing plants are the main culprits in allergy attacks; identifying plants that are the largest producers of pollen and keeping them out of your garden could help keep allergy symptoms at bay. While other substances such as mould can trigger allergy attacks, American horticulturist Thomas Ogren believes that the widespread use of pollen-producing plants may be contributing to the growing number of allergy sufferers.
In the past 20 years, allergy rates have doubled in North America, and about 20 to 25 per cent of Canadians suffer from hay fever. Identifying the worst offenders is the first step in limiting exposure. Ogren has developed a plant allergy scale that rates plants on their allergy-causing potential. British horticulturist Lucy Huntington has designed low-allergen show gardens in the U.K. and U.S. Both horticulturists were motivated by having family members who suffer from allergies.
Dr. Gordon Sussman, a staff physician and allergist at the Wellesley Hospital in Toronto, doesn't believe that allergen exposure can be completely eliminated. While people may control what goes into their gardens, they're still exposed to pollens from elsewhere, he says. But Ogren believes the benefits could have an impact on a larger scale if there were more widespread use of allergy-free plants in landscaping.
When selecting plants, it helps to know how they pollinate; this can tell you how much pollen the plant produces. Some plants have pollen producers (male) and pollen receivers (female) together in one flower, which is called a perfect flower. An example is a rose.
Pollen only moves within the flower--it doesn't need to travel through the air to reach its target--so such plants are low pollen producers. Monoecious plants have separate male and female flowers, but they are on the same plant. Corn is one example: the tassel is the male flower and the kernels are the female flowers. Pollen is airborne while it travels to the female flowers, where allergy sufferers can breathe it in.
Dioecious plants also put pollen in the atmosphere; all the flowers are either male or female, and pollen has to travel between plants. For example, many junipers are separate-sexed. One key strategy is to select female plants--not easy to do as the sex of a plant is rarely listed alongside growing recommendations.
Ogren says that allergy-provoking culprits are often male plants, which are widely used because they don't litter the ground with seeds or pods. "I'm keen on pushing female plants because they actually remove pollen from the air," he says. There are no simple, visual clues as to the sex of a plant, though non-berry producing plants are often male and some cultivars are entirely male, such as Ginkgo biloba 'Autumn Gold', which is propagated by cuttings. Plants that have small, light pollen, such as oak trees, should be avoided as the pollen is easily blown about and inhaled into lungs, says U.K. horticulturist Huntington. Many grasses also fall into this category. She advises against daisy-like flowers, while most of the big flowers, such as peonies, are okay because their pollen is heavy and sticks to the plant rather than becoming airborne.
If you can't get rid of all your high-allergen plants, keep them away from windows or patios and keep them at the back of beds and borders. For many high-allergen trees and shrubs, pruning hard once a year results in few or no blooms, and therefore less pollen, says Ogren.

AC Adapter / Battery Charger
|Like most other Sony's but unlike many other digital cameras the DSC-V3 charges its battery in-camera by connecting the camera to the supplied AC-LS5 AC adapter / charger brick. This has two advantages, the first is that you don't have to mess around removing the battery each time you want to charge and secondly you get an AC adapter in the box, with most camera's is an option.
On the left side of the camera (from the rear) are a column of connectors, the ACC terminal at the top (for Sony accessories and external flash), a USB 2.0 port (Hi-Speed) and A/V out (video and audio). With the rubber cover in place only the ACC terminal is left exposed. The final connector (not shown here) is the DC-IN which is on the rear of the camera just below the 4-way controller.

Base / Tripod Mount
|On the base of the camera is a metal tripod mount, and yet again it's not positioned in line with the lens and it's also too close to the compartment door to allow it to be opened when the camera is on a tripod.
Internal Flash / Auto Focus Assist Lamp
The DSC-V3 features yet another new type of flash, we're not sure if we can call it 'pop-up' or not, it flips up 90 degrees on its axis from the closed position (on the right below). The flash provides a range of 2.5m. As noted by a member of the dpreview team it's a pity the flash didn't have a third position firing directly upwards and providing a 'bounce flash'. The flip-up mechanism on our pre-production camera wasn't final and sometimes didn't close flush, we assumed this was a pre-production problem however having now received a production camera we can see that it's the same. It's not really what we expect of Sony build / design quality.
Auto Focus Assist
Flash Hot-shoe
|The DSC-V3 has a hot-shoe capable of two way communication with the flash unit. Specifically the HVL-F32X flash unit supports all of the advance features and communication protocol. Additionally the flash hot-shoe can also trigger third party flash units, although sync only.

Book Reviews: The church's mission and vision, globally and locally
Books | Caleb Nelson
If you enjoy doomsaying and ecclesiastical bad news, then Christ Our Reconciler: The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization (IVP Books, 2012) is not for you. A published collection of the messages delivered at the Congress held in Cape Town three years ago, this book is passionate, hopeful—and extremely encouraging. From the clear-eyed theological vision articulated by the speakers to the heartrending testimonies of suffering for Christ, this account of Cape Town 2010 will convict and inspire anyone who loves Jesus Christ and His church.
Nearly 2,000 delegates from almost 200 countries were present at the conference, while the speakers—which included John Piper, Tim Keller, Os Guinness Ajith Fernando, and Benjamin Kwashi—represented something of a who's who of world evangelicalism.
The purpose of the Congress was to cast, in deliberate contrast to the 1910 Edinburgh conference on world missions, a vision for the 21st century church. The 1910 conference sought to bring about ecumenical union between all denominations. To do this, it deliberately minimized doctrine for the sake of what one 2010 delegate called "ecumania." The 2010 conference, by contrast, opened with a sermon on Ephesians 1 in which Fernando gave a ringing affirmation of Bible doctrines up to and including predestination. But doctrine was not the only topic on the menu: The speakers gave heavy emphasis to living the kind of Christian life that will attract converts, rather than repel them. A Pentecostal pastor from Nairobi preached with Spirit-power from Ephesians 5 on integrity. I had not been so convicted of sin in months.
The conference was ultimately about the whole church bringing the whole gospel to the whole world, to cities and workplaces, to the global south and the global north. The good news is in Christ Our Reconciler—the good news that Jesus Christ is building His church, and we are privileged to share in His work.
Shayne Wheeler is so interested in reconciliation and unity that his denominational affiliation is a secret. He pastors All Souls Fellowship in Decatur, Ga., and his Briarpatch Gospel Fearlessly Following Jesus into the Thorny Places (Tyndale Momentum, 2013) is a popular-level treatment of N.T. Wright's vision of God's cosmic redemption.
In Wheeler's hands, the "briarpatch" features prominently, but rather than being a true extended metaphor, it is a catchphrase, a shorthand for the trials and difficulties of life. Chief among these is the fear of people different from us. Wheeler communicates a vision of the people of God that extends beyond the "pasteurized, homogenized churches" of "white middle-class Republican capitalists" to include ex-convicts, homosexuals, and people with tattoos.
As a book on getting out of one's Christian bubble and actually being salt and light in the world, Briarpatch Gospel is quite helpful. Don't be overwhelmed by the challenge of slum neighborhoods or neighbors who seem to be on the opposite side in the culture war. Help just one person, one widow, one elderly couple next door. Wheeler's call is practical—and, what's better, achievable.
His treatment of homosexuals in the church is good so far as it goes. The church emphatically ought to be a place that welcomes gay people, many of whom, according to Wheeler, want to belong to a church. Homosexuality is not the worst of sins, nor is it in a different category from the other sins of church members, writes Wheeler—but, he affirms, it is a sin. That's where Wheeler leaves things, drawing no distinction between sins that people struggle against and sins that they have no intention of giving up. Church discipline is not even mentioned.
To Wheeler, the church ought to be "a place where you can belong before you believe." Such a proposition is perilous—and true.
While it would be unfair to describe Creature of the Word: The Jesus-Centered Church (B&H Books, 2012) as "Creature of the Buzzword," Matt Chandler, Josh Patterson, and Eric Geiger do use the word "gospel" so many times that even the most alert reader will have difficulty remembering what it means. Intentionality, meanwhile, comes up frequently enough that one finds the authors "astounded" when they "consider how intentional God's plan for His people really is."
The book opens with two pastors facing burnout. Their lurking downfall is not scandalous sin or open heresy, but simply the easy process of boredom with the message they both proclaim. The book's portrait of this Sunday afternoon ennui lives and breathes, and I found it utterly compelling. Sadly, though the answer to the boredom is in fact between the covers of Creature of the Word, it is not portrayed with anything like the same degree of verve.
The answer, of course, is to recover the wonder and exuberance of the good news of Christ's death for unworthy sinners, with His resurrection and all its consequences. This changes not just pulpit ministry, but everything the church does. How do you make the gospel part of the culture at your church, for the nursery kids and the pastor who's facing burnout? First of all, you have to experience its power for yourself. Then you have to share it.
The book's point is genuinely vital: Unless the church exists to proclaim the truth that Jesus Christ died and rose again to redeem sinners, then it might as well not exist at all. It is a one-mission organization, and the chapter titles ("Jesus-Centered Flower Committee") make that truth impossible to miss.
Chandler, Patterson, and Geiger do not make the truth exhilarating, but they do teach the truth—and that's exhilarating.

MRI stable
Had an MRI last week. I got a card in the mail and all it said was MRI stable. I assume that means that it didn't get any worse or any better. But you know what happens when someone assumes.
Just wondering if anyone had any insite. I will call my wonderful neuro nurse for a better explanation but I was just curious.

Stable= good.
They aren't noticing new leasions or progression like they saw when you were first diagnosed.
Definatly have your Dr. and/or their nurse explain this but be ready for good news. Something's working.
Yep good news.
stable - The exact message I got from my neuro's assistant on my voice message today. It means "No evidence of any new lesions in this patient with a diagnosis of MS and multiple white matter lesions. No enhancing lesion is seen." as taken straight from the copy of the report I requested. I was happy to hear this I guess. (wondering now what is causing my new symptoms however).
But congrats on your stable MRI!!!!!Christie ~ RN, Married with 2 beautiful daughters and a beautiful granddaughter
Dx: Ulcerative Colitis ~ 2004, Diabetes ~ 2005, Fibromyalgia ~2011, and now in MS limbo-land since April 2011
I've had "stable" MRIs for a few years. My neuro told me this means no new lesions and no changes to existing lesions. I don't know what the difference is between "stable" and "in remission" (as in Relapsing Remitting) but I'll take stable any day.

Eight Seconds
Andre Del Castillo
March Cesare
Frank Levin
Scott Milks
Marc Parent
Eight Seconds got its start as an entity when the members became aware of each other in various bands playing the Ottawa club scene. It was 1982 and Castillo, Levin and Milks had all just graduated from high school; encountering each other continuously in the local bars fostered a sort of mutual admiration society between them and they by the end of the summer of '82 they'd decided to form a band. They wrote and demoed their material to hone their chops until finding Cesare and Parent, and then hit the bars as Eight Seconds.
They managed to slip the occasional original into their set of covers, one of which was "Where's Bula"? This song won them CHEZ 106's Sharechez '83 homegrown contest, so they contacted Corvideocom to make a video which got airplay on MuchMusic and MTV's Basement Tapes show, as well as winning the 1984 Canadian Film and Television Association's Best Music Video of the Year. These achievement's plus the band's potential attracted the attention of Allan White, owner of the video company. He sent them back into the studio to record a five-song EP, 1985's 'Ottava Rima' (pronounced Oh-ta-va Ree-ma), which charted in Ottawa both on CHEZ 106 FM and CFRA AM.
Greg Torrington, music director at CHEZ 106, sent the EP to producer Rupert Hine (the Fixx, Howard Jones) in England, who was so impressed he went on the air in Ottawa and stated publicly that he wished to produce the band. This attention from Rupert caught the attention of the major labels and eventually the band signed with Polygram Records and then went to England to work with Hine. The result was their first full-length release, 'Almacantar', in 1987, and a Top 30 hit with "Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)".
A second album was recorded in 1988 but management hassles and red tape kept the material on the shelf. By 1990 things had been worked out and WEA had come calling with a new deal, and their second album, 'Big Houses', was released. In 1987, however, Parent left the fold, and so they added an extra player for their live dates in 1990.
The band was lost in the dissolution shuffle of their American record label, ATCO, and the band remained in limbo, effectively causing Eight Seconds to disband.
del Castillo is part owner of audio/video production and multimedia company in Ottawa named R+D Creative.Levin was part owner in independent music CD distribution company IndiePool in Toronto and managed his own studio before becoming a importer/exporter of antique furniture and other goods with China. He was previously involved in the production of Alanis Morrisette's 1991 debut dance album 'Alanis'; Scott Milks became an IT manager for the Canadian Government but is still active in Ottawa's music scene with Bigger Than John; Marc Parent remains active in the Quebec music industry and founded Montreal Rock/R & B act Wang Dang Doodle in the late 80's.
Eight Seconds have reunited on several occasions including the 1995 recording of the song "In Your Hands" for the Ottawa Recording Artists United Against AIDS compilation CD 'Unmuted' in 1996; In 2002 to record a track for the 2004 Bullseye Records release "It Was 40 Years Ago Today: A Tribute To The Beatles" with their remake of the classic track 'Hey Jude'; and in 2010 (without Frank Levin) for a live performance.

Three teenagers already in a Kinston jail could face more charges for what lawmen are calling a gang-related jailhouse brawl.
The Kinston Free Press says the three teens may face more charges now for beating another inmate until he was unconscious Sunday. The teenagers accused of fighting are Devine Slade, Jerrell Pridgen and Corrionte Turnage.
Pridgen, 18, was arrested in March for the murders of 17-year-old Rasheed Jones and 21-year-old Tyrone Collins.
Devine Slade, 17, has been behind bars since June for the murder of Deputy Warren "Sneak" Lewis.
Corrionte Turnage, 19, faces drugs and weapons charges. In 2010, he was convicted of robbery.
The paper says that inmate Allen Lewis, 29, was treated and released from the hospital Sunday. He has asked lawmen not to charge the three for the assault.
Lewis is facing his fourth felony firearms possession charge. He has also been convicted of theft three times.

* This review explores recent trends in the development and evaluation of assistive robotic arms, both prosthetic and externally mounted. Evaluations have been organized according to the CATOR taxonomy of assistive device outcomes, which takes into consideration device effectiveness, social significance, and impact on subjective well-being. Questions that have informed the review include: (1) Are robotic arms being comprehensively evaluated along axes of the CATOR taxonomy? (2) Are definitions of effectiveness in accordance with the priorities of users? (3) What gaps in robotic arm evaluation exist, and how might these best be addressed? (4) What further advances can be expected in the next 15 years? Results highlight the need for increased standardization of evaluation methods, increased emphasis on the social significance (i.e., social cost) of devices, and increased emphasis on device impact on quality of life. Several open areas for future research, in terms of both device evaluation and device development, are also discussed.

This Tuesday the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued a detailed report regarding the ambitious and structured nuclear progress of Iran. While Iran maintains that its sole use for developing a nuclear energy program is for peaceful and civilian purposes, the IAEA is confident in its findings and unprecedented claim that Iran is concealing its true intentions -- the production of nuclear weaponry.
The report included a 13-page annex with detailed descriptions of suspected key technologies procured by Tehran. The annex was compiled from more than 1,000 credible Iranian documents which has lead inspectors to conclude Iran carried out a "structured program" specific to nuclear weapons development prior to 2003 and procurement of such objectives "may still be ongoing."
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
The Iranian government quickly denounced the IAEA's allegations as fabrications with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, adding Thursday that, "Anybody who takes up the idea of an attack on Iran, should get ready to receive a strong slap and an iron fist." Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tehran would not retreat "an iota" from its nuclear program.
This is the first time the IAEA has outwardly expressed concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions. A U.S. senior official described the report as being, "very comprehensive, credible, quite damming, and alarming." The report is largely held by the U.S. as justification for its long-term belief that Iran always possessed an ulterior motive when it came to its nuclear program.
The IAEA's report has forced the international community to acknowledge the Iranian aspiration for nuclear proliferation. How each country will choose to respond remains to be seen.
