Moleskine Small Ruled Notebook
This small pad was one of the first products I received as a ThisNext maven. Review: I have used this notbook for everything from jotting down notes and numbers to a food diary and my final decision is --- it's a small notebook like any other. The one bonus that does come in handy is the cord that binds the notebook together. This means when I throw it in my purse or stuff it in my jacket pocket the pages don't get all bent out of shape. Other than that ... it's just well, paper. I just noticed a weekly planner made by this company recommended by this user. I'd love to get my hands on one of those!!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/3/2013 (1606 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The search for God is a staple of human history. The Bible and the history of Christianity are filled with stories of people who have powerful experiences of a divine presence in their lives and how their lives are transformed. But how this happens is a mystery.
The third chapter of the Gospel of John is famous for its depiction of the heart of Christianity. There Jesus declares, "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (3:16).
Jesus' well-known description of himself and God's love comes in the midst of a fascinating story (John 3:1-21). A Pharisee by the name of Nicodemus came to Jesus secretly during the night. Nicodemus wanted to know more about Jesus: "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God."
Jesus tells him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." Here the translations differ. It might be "born from above," but it could also be "born anew," "born of the Spirit," or the widely used phrase, "born again." Whatever the translation, the meaning is clear. A relationship with God means a new birth; it means change; it means becoming a different person.
Nicodemus is puzzled by Jesus' words. He asks, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?"
Jesus replies, "Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
This story captures the compelling drama of what it means to find God. It means a rebirth ("You must be born from above"), but how this happens is a mystery ("The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes").
Christians throughout the ages have usually described the experience of finding God as conversion. This English word suggests the act of "turning around," moving from one place to another. Interestingly, the word for "conversion" does not appear often in the Bible. Instead, the Bible contains words that capture the root meaning of conversion — "to turn," "to turn to," "to turn away from," "to return," "to turn toward," or "to turn around."
The experience of conversion can be a single event that is sudden, dramatic and powerful. Or it can be a series of experiences spanning a lifetime.
The philosopher William James called this the difference between "the once-born" and "the twice-born." The once-born are people who go "from strength to strength." They live without knowing despair or deep alienation from God. They never know a time when they did not live without a knowledge and love of God. Their experience of God is like a pebble thrown into a lake — ripples that gradually expand their awareness of God's presence in their lives.
On the other hand, "the twice-born" know the depths of pain, the devastation of being utterly alone, the overwhelming burden of guilt and shame. Finding God for the twice-born means a life-changing experience. These people "hit bottom" and emerge from darkness into light. They find new worth in God's mercy and forgiveness. They find new life in God's love.
My book, Finding God: A Treasury of Conversion Stories, contains 60 accounts of both the once-born and the twice-born. When they are examined closely, the distinction is blurred. The experience of twice-born people looks more like a process of discovery, rather than an emotional turning point. The experience of once-born people often has more drama than one might expect.
Nearly all these stories reveal a fascinating pattern. An individual is confronted by God. Then the individual resists. Eventually the person surrenders. What follows is an experience of joy and a new life of mission and service.
Despite this pattern, the experience of conversion or finding God can take various forms. It can be emotional (John Wesley's heart being "strangely warmed"), intellectual (C.S. Lewis' gradual conviction of God's existence), aesthetic (Jonathan Edwards' awareness of God in the beauty of nature), or moral (Albert Schweitzer's and Mother Teresa's decision to devote their lives to the poor).
The 17th-century pastor Richard Baxter summed up the astonishing variety of experiences of God by acknowledging that he did not know the time of his conversion. Upon reflection, he wrote, "I perceived that education is God's ordinary way for the conveyance of his grace. I understood at last that God breaketh not all men's hearts alike."
But the issue remains. Can people change? This question lies at the heart of virtually every area of human knowledge — from science to philosophy to literature to criminology. Answering that question has enormous implications for how individuals live their lives and how societies organize their governments and their laws.
The lives of people who find God is a powerful and eloquent testimony to the fact that people can change, and they can change when they discover, in the words of St. Augustine's prayer, that "our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee."
Festo Kivengere, an Anglican bishop who became known as "the Billy Graham of Africa," spent his life telling people about the God he found in his youth. He was renowned as a storyteller — for all ages. In one of his favourite stories, a little girl sat watching her mother working in the kitchen. She asked her mother, "What does God do all day long?" For a while her mother was stumped, but then she said, "Darling, I'll tell you what God does all day long. He spends his whole day mending broken things."
Throughout the centuries and in various ways, people do find God. But when you look more closely, it's more a matter of God finding them — because God spends his whole day mending broken things.
John M. Mulder is the former president of Louisville Seminary. His most recent book is Finding God: A Treasury of Conversion Stories.

>Cross Training>New Here..Question about running paired with weight training
I've been stalled out at 194lbs for a the longest time but since strength training, I've lose plenty of inches. I've registered for a 5K in September and obviously I have to start running more. If I pair my 5K training with weights and a clean diet (I eat at -20% TDEE so I eat around 1700+) will I see more fat melt? I've kinda given up on the scale to be honest. It discourages me and I don't want to be bothered with it. I'm more focused on the composition of my body and how it is changing. I lift 3-4x a week and I'm going to be training on my off days. Do you think doing this will provide nice results? (:
You will have to see what works for you. For me, my running doesn't really improve unless I am running more than three times a week.
The tape measure is the truth-teller. Waist and hips. As far as weight-loss results go, you should lose body fat if you keep at it. Avoid over-training. Listen to your body as you go. Since you're doing so much anaerobic exercise, it might be a good idea to keep most of your running at an easy aerobic effort. Do some research on aerobic/anaerobic training, how to monitor aerobic progress (MAF test or an aerobic run that you do the same every time is good for that--you should be getting faster at the same aerobic heart rate), and building an aerobic base. Arthur Lydiard, Jack Daniels, Pete Pfitzinger, Jeff Galloway, and Phil Maffetone are all worth reading. Good luck!

Thanks so much (: I will be running Tues/Thurs/Sat, lifting Mon/Wed/Fri and resting on Sundays.

Don't add too much at once, but consider doing a short recovery run on your weight training days. I wouldn't add that in until you can comfortably complete the weekly plan you layed out, but I would add the short recovery runs before I would add more daily mileage on running days.

A man may never run the same trail twice for it is not the same trail and he is not the same man
I've been following the weight training plan for about 2 months now. Someone told me that running after weight lifting is bad for muscle mass?
Not dead. Yet.
I second the "don't add too much too quick" comment. I tried to add weight training to my schedule and ended up burning myself out quickly. The running by itself was fine. The weight lifting by itself was fine. But when I tried to do them at the same time, at probably too high an intensity, my body rejected the idea and my motivation quickly fizzled out. I think you need to choose one as a focus, and then use the other just to supplement.
When I try again, I think I will keep the weight workouts much easier, and maybe only do them on off days. No more 8 mile runs and 2 hour weight workouts in the same day!
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
I've been following the weight training plan for about 2 months now. Someone told me that running after weight lifting is bad for muscle mass?
Is your goal to gain muscle mass? Are you a power lifter? Generally, building large muscles and improving as a runner work against each other to some degree. Others are more knowledgeable than I in that regard.
If you are doing the weights for general strength, weight loss, and toning I don't think there is anything wrong with running after weight lifting.
Old , Ugly and slow
I lift heavy every 4-5 days.
I run 4 days a week.
I don't do them on the same day.
With weightlifting all that matters is adding weight or reps.
It is hard to do both well,

If you want to maximize muscle mass, running will run counter to that. But most of us are not power lifters concerned with max size. For most of us, you can do a reasonable amount of lifting and still develop as a runner. You can even get a lot stronger and certainly put on some muscle mass.
When I lifted a lot, I lifted 4X/week and did not do legs; I was trying to maximize running. Some runners do leg lifting as well, given what I was doing and my personal recovery needs the two did not mix. But I progressed well as a runner and took my bench from 165 to 225 while dropping from 155 to 145lbs. Not strong by serious lifter standards but pretty decent for a runner and all-around lifestyle strength.

I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
The only strength training exercise that I really felt conflicted a bunch with running was squats. Deadlifts work ok for me when paired with running. I'm coming at this from the opposite side of most here as I was a competitive powerlifter previously (where I was actually concerned with not going beyond the 181.5 lb weight class, definitely not interested in max size... ). You've got to balance everything you do (work, family, running, lifting, diet) since stress comes from all these sources and more. If running is the top priority (at least in terms of exercise) you may need to back off the volume and/or intensity of lifting to allow more recovery for running. You can always cycle periods with a greater focus on running for a time (3-6 months or whatever) and lifting for a time. Just don't do what I did and quit one altogether. I'm just back getting back to running and, at my current age (young that I may be ), getting back just gets harder and harder.
Agree with KirkRoy. Squats + running is a difficult combination to have, and while training for any kind of race, I usually have to cut the squats out entirely in order to get much out of my running days. I've found upper body workouts (currently on a 2-day split, trying to work it into a single full-day upper body workout) combine nicely with any running program, with the workouts anchored around bench press and pull-ups.
As for what would be best to promote fat loss, strength training is an efficient fat loss strategy. A combined program will also facilitate fat loss vs a cardio only or strength only program, and provides other benefits, but also has the drawbacks of slowing improvement in either activity vs a dedicated routine. In other words, if you lift and run, you may see your running not improve as quickly as if you had a running only program.
old woman w/hobby
Squats for runners. Seems to have worked out for her
Just run.
I think it's a matter of focus and how you approach the squats. If I do them focused on strength (strength meaning what I can lift for 1 to 10 reps) it makes my legs feel stale for running and vice versa. I have never tried bodyweight squats for high reps. I did do a brief period of 20 rep squats although, even there, it was closer to an exercise for strength rather than endurance (and it is crazy brutal ).
Kirkroy are you still lifting heavy now.

• fiddlestick •
Pronunciation: fid-êl-stik • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, Interjection
Meaning: 1. The bow for playing a fiddle. 2. Something truly insignificant. 3. (Plural) An interjection indicating annoyance.
Notes: We seldom use this word in its original sense; that sense has been replaced by bow. The other two meanings are still current, an insignificant trifle and the interjection, Fiddlesticks!
In Play: As mentioned before, we don't use today's Good Word much any more, but here is the way we once used it: "Ezra always carried a spare fiddlestick in his case should he get carried away and break the first one amidst his fiery fiddling." The interjection, too, is spoken more often by our grandparents when they say things like: "Oh, fiddlesticks! I think I've lost my mobile telephone."
Word History: In Old English today's word was fiðele, related to Old High German fidula, which worked its way into Modern German as Fiedel. Medieval Latin probably borrowed the Old High German word, converting it into vitula "stringed instrument", which ended up in French as viola, hence violin. So, violin is derived from an ancestor of fiddle rather than vice versa. While violin is usually reserved for serious music, fiddle is generally used for joyful folk music such as the jig and the square dance. This explains its appearance in such playful words as fiddlesticks, fiddle-faddle, and fiddledeedee. (Oh, fiddlesticks! I almost forgot to thank Kathleen McCune in Norway for suggesting today's playful Good Word.)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/12/2012 (1699 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's a welcome recognition, an affirmation and a bit of encouragement. But it certainly isn't what will define Don Amero's music or career.
The Winnipeg-born singer-songwriter was named Male Entertainer of the Year at this year's Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards, and he considers the honour to be another step in what has been the slow, steady process of building a career.
"I was nominated 19 times before (in numerous categories), so to finally win one is nice," says Amero, 32, who has been touring and recording constantly since the fateful day in 2007 when he walked away from his day job as a hardwood floor installer to pursue music full time.
"I never wanted to be that guy who kept emailing everybody, saying 'Vote for me! Vote for me!' so it basically took six years to get enough fans on board to win one. But when I did, it meant the world to me, because I knew that the fans were really behind me."
With four albums to his credit -- including his latest, Heart On My Sleeve, which was released in October -- Amero feels like he's poised for a breakthrough in the mainstream music world.
"Every opportunity I get to compete in the non-aboriginal marketplace, I will take," he says. "Maybe 'competing' is the wrong word, but I'll use it in this case. Anyway, it's a matter of competing at that level, not just in the smaller pool of the aboriginal music scene, but the overall music scene in Canada and North America. That's where I'd like to be; I want to get my foot in that door, for sure."
A product of Winnipeg's North End, Amero says his first musical inspirations were his parents, whom he describes as fairly talented themselves and blessed with diverse musical tastes.
"My parents would have these kitchen parties, and I would hear them playing," he recalls, "and then they would always play records, and it would be Elton John and Alabama and Bruce Springsteen. Those are the things I grew up hearing.
"And when I got into my middle-to-later teens, I was listening to people like Jann Arden and Barenaked Ladies and Blue Rodeo -- and for me, that's kind of where it started, and that's who inspired me. Even to this day -- we actually just emailed Jann Arden and Blue Rodeo about their upcoming tours, to see if there's any possibility of getting on the bill with them. We're keeping our fingers crossed."
Amero's own musical style might best be described as a rootsy combination of country and folk and soul, with songs that draw heavily on personal experiences and observations. His most recent collection soars with joyful declarations and also digs deep into some of life's most painful moments.
In truth, there's a fair amount of heartache on Heart, but Amero says it's a reflection of where he's at and what he's feeling.
"One of the things I take pride in is that I won't write a song unless I can tell a story, and the story has to be something that I'm close to," he says. "I feel like your songs are like your children, and you really have to embrace them that way.
"A lot of the songs deal with heartbreak that I've seen -- there's one song called Alone that's a sad, sad song about a guy who kind of blew it, and his life is gone. That's inspired by my great uncle, who unfortunately was a slave to alcohol and just never was able to get it together. It was a sad thing to see him suffer that way; in a way, that song was my attempt to steer others away from that path, because I've seen how destructive it can be.
"There are a lot of songs in all four of my albums that go to those places, dealing with my family struggles and my home life growing up -- it's all very personal stuff. Lately, I've been saying that every night I get to go onstage and read my journal to the crowds. It's like I'm on the couch, and they're my therapist."
All of which is not to say, however, that Amero's life is a bleak, dark place. With a career in forward motion and a home life that includes one-year-old son Oscar, there's plenty to feel good about.
"I think I'm way more emotional than I was before," he laughs. "Maybe it's because I'm not getting much sleep these days... When I look at my past catalogue of songs, before Oscar was born, I feel very proud of them. But I think (fatherhood) has actually improved my writing."
Where he's headed next as a songwriter and performer, however, is something Amero can't readily identify.
"I don't know," he says. "It depends what I'm being inspired by. This particular chapter that I'm just coming out of (which produced Heart On My Sleeve) has been very introspective, probably because I'm a new dad, and I've thought a lot about where I'm going and what I want to do with my life.
"I'm 32, so I'm nowhere near thinking about my life's ending, but I guess I am thinking about what kind of legacy I'm going to leave behind for future generations. That's where I've been in my head lately."

Topic: Heaven
Sunday I received a booklet by Randy Alcorn called Heaven. Lately I have been questioning my faith, I know there is a God, dearly believe in heaven, but I have had question. This book tells of heaven in the present day, what would heaven be like, will there be animals in heaven, what won't be in heaven, can whoever is heaven know what's going on on earth, and will we be reunited with and recognize our loved ones in heaven, and much more this book is wonderful. My copy is only 60 pages long, but the orginal is 468 pages, I'll be glad when I can get that one. I recommend this book to everyone on this web site.
I'm not a widow, I am a wife
We are only apart for heaven's sake
You are waiting for me at heaven's gate

Get the Recipe
Up until the late 80s, the pharmacy in my hometown had a soda fountain. Yes, a real old fashioned soda fountain. This soda fountain was especially special because it was the one my mom grew up with. The same spot where she and her sisters would get an ice cream sundae for a quarter after picking up the latest Superman comic book. My personal favorite thing to order was the vanilla ice cream soda: fizzy soda water straight from the fountain, vanilla syrup, a splash of milk, and a couple generous scoops of ice cream.
Alas, the pharmacy sold off the soda fountain and I no longer have a spot to get my ice cream soda fix. While the social aspect of the ice cream soda (or in my case spinning around and around in those high stools at the Formica counter) was always part of the charm, with very little effort you can make an awesome ice cream soda in your own kitchen. The ingredients are easy enough to come by: seltzer, milk, vanilla syrup, and vanilla ice cream, but as with any deceptively simple dish, it's worthwhile to splurge on the top of the line stuff; for me that means making a quick vanilla bean simple syrup (the leftovers are great for cocktails or iced coffee!) and using either homemade ice cream or my favorite store bought vanilla. Creamy and sweet, this is makes for a nice cool down treat on a hot day, just make sure you have a straw or two on hand for optimal sipping enjoyment.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
In "Outliers," a fascinating look at what separates high achievers from the rest of us, author Malcolm Gladwell cites a study that suggests it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to develop expert-level performance.
Who's got 10,000 hours to spare?
Not many of us, which is why in his new book, "The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything Fast" (Portfolio, 2013), author Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice, Kaufman argues, almost anyone can go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well.
"We're shooting for the results we value with a fraction of the effort. You may never win a gold medal, but you'll reap the rewards you care about in far less time," he states.
Whether you want to play the ukulele, get the hang of windsurfing or increase the skill level of a roomful of sales reps, Kaufman says it's possible to reach a proficiency that produces high returns and have 9,980 hours to spare. His 10 principles of rapid skill acquisition:

Esquire's Best and Worst Dressed Men on the Trail
When Hermès first approached French architect Marc Berthier a few years back about collaborating on a new watch, it asked him to think about "what an Hermès timepiece for a traveling dandy might look like." (Funny: We think we heard that same question on Jeopardy! last night.) And this, remember, was at a time when watches the size and shape of hubcaps were weighing down men the world over. So Berthier took another tack. He designed a rounded square watch made of titanium, a superlight metal, with a thin, self-winding movement and a face that was all clean, strong, geometric lines. Hermès liked what it saw, and the resulting watch, the Carré H, is now in stores and represents what the company does best: world-class luxury wrapped in a simple package. As you look over the following pages and our picks for some of today's best watches, that's a standard worth keeping in mind.
Titanium Carrè H watch ($16,225) by Hermès
Dress watches, folks. We're talking about dress watches here. The slim, sophisticated pieces of hardware that you wear on your big days and bigger nights. Our favorites at the moment all have the fine-boned, Swiss-made movements that you'd expect from Very Special Watches. But they also offer just the right amount of visual interest, whether through discreet subdials (like the ones on these Blancpain, Piaget, and Jaquet Droz watches) or patterned faces or dials (see: the art-deco-inspired face on this Breguet watch and this Ralph Lauren model's guilloche dial) or Roman numerals (like the kind found on, well, almost all of these). They keep things relatively simple, the better to keep all eyes on the man, not his watch.
Clockwise from top: Red-gold Villeret ultraslim watch ($17,400) by Blancpain, Steel Grande Heure Minute black-enamel watch ($10,900) by Jaquet Droz, White-gold Altiplano watch ($15,200) by Piaget, White-gold Slim Classique watch ($13,500) by Ralph Lauren, Steel L.U.C. 1937 watch ($8,750) by Chopard, Yellow-gold extra-thin Classique watch ($16,400) by Breguet.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Objections can cause doubt and confusion for prospects and salespeople. This can frustrate your team members and cause them to avoid objections. But as you know, objection avoidance can lead to fewer sales.
As part of your sales coaching, help your team members embrace the philosophy that objections are a welcome and natural part of their sales conversations. When they learn the value of objections, they'll be open to discovering more effective ways to leverage them to facilitate prospects' buying decisions.
Here are three effective ways salespeople can respond to objections.
Influence prospects' decision-making criteria
Often, prospects aren't clear about the criteria they are using to make their buying decisions. This lack of clarity can be the root of many objections.
When coaching your team members, have them share the questions they ask to clarify their prospects' decision-making criteria. But don't be surprised if you discover your team members don't ask questions about their prospects' buying criteria. It's not unusual.
It may be necessary to trigger their thinking with a sample question or two. For example:
"Have you had a chance to review the criteria you are using to make your decision?"
"Would you like to know the criteria other clients have used when they made their decisions?"
"Would it be helpful if I went through some of the criteria others have used who have successfully solved similar challenges?"
Questions such as these open the door for conversations about buying criteria and builds trust with prospects.
Tell a relevant story
A true client success story can be one of the most persuasive ways to increase a prospect's product understanding. In your sales coaching sessions, have them also practice how they will connect the story to specific prospect objections.
For example, you might help your team members prepare by asking them which stories they would use with a price-sensitive prospect. Recognize that your team members might know a good client story but may not be able to use it effectively in a sales conversation. Coach them through role plays so you can see how they use the story in context.
When coaching your team members to use client stories in response to prospects' objections, these four simple guidelines can be valuable:
A simple question from your team members before they share a story can help direct the conversation and better engage prospects. Their question can be as simple as, "Would it be helpful if I shared what another client did in a similar situation?"
Provide helpful information
Prospects won't always believe what your team members say in response to objections, so you will need to coach them on how to cross the credibility gap. For such cases, coach your team members on how to support their statements with credible, verifiable industry-specific data such as reports, comparison charts, primary research, consumer reports or other materials.
For example, your team members might be able to show a price-sensitive prospect that more than 75 percent of clients make back their investment within a year of purchase.
Again, coach your team members to ask a question before they start to share any data. Using the example above, they could do this by asking, "Would you like some additional information about how soon others have recouped their investment?"
Which method to use? Ask the prospect
When salespeople discover these three methods for addressing objections, they often mistakenly believe it's up to them to decide which of the three they should use. Experience shows that the most effective way for salespeople to determine the best method is to ask prospects. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it works.
Mix and match when appropriate. These three ways of responding to objections (criteria, stories, information) are not mutually exclusive.
Your team members might share details about the criteria a client used to deal with a situation similar to what their prospects are facing – a mix of "criteria" and "story." Or, share some statistical information to help prospects clarify their decision-making criteria.
Remind your team members of the sales-conducive sales philosophy that objections are a welcome and natural part of the sales process. Prepare your team members to have their criteria questions, stories and information ready so they can better address objections, and sell more.

With a solid month of summer left, it remains pretty steamy across most of the country. Chasing down the ice cream truck for relief will only make you sweatier, and the reward may be an artificially-flavored, unsettlingly-fluorescent frozen treat. When you make ice pops at home, the freezer handles most of the labor and you know exactly what ingredients are in them. They're easy, refreshing and flavorful – plus no sweating required.

Gindalbie Metals has shipped its first cargo of magnetite from Western Australia, clearing a key hurdle for one of two multi-billion dollar iron ore projects being closely watched by China after long delays and cost overruns.
Gindalbie's $3 billion Karara project, about two years behind schedule, is the first major magnetite producer in Western Australia's Mid West, a region that Chinese and other Asian steel mills have long hoped would break the stranglehold of the mega miners in the Pilbara region further north.
The project, 50-50 owned by China's Angang Steel , is on track to reach its full capacity of 8 million tonnes a year by April, Gindalbie Managing Director Tim Netscher said today.
"I am confident that the underlying value of our project will flow through over the coming year," he said in a statement.
Shares in Gindalbie, more than one-third owned by Angang Steel, surged 14 per cent to 28 cents on making its first magnetite shipment, outpacing the broader market.
The company raised its production cost estimate in November by about 11 per cent to $72-$76 a tonne, which it said reflected general cost inflation and the impact of Australia's carbon tax.
A big factor behind cost increases on the project has been a 39 per cent rise in the Aussie dollar against the US dollar since the feasibility study was done in 2007.
A smooth ramp-up of the Karara project's magnetite concentrator, a large and complex plant, is key and is being closely watched by the rival $8 billion Sino Iron project, owned by China's CITIC Pacific.
Magnetite ore, a steelmaking ingredient, typically has lower iron content than hematite ore and needs to be processed using huge magnets to produce export-grade ore that is equivalent to hematite. China is the world's top iron ore consumer.
Bankers and lawyers have said the start-up of Karara and Sino Iron projects could help ease Chinese government concerns about funding multi-billion dollar iron ore projects and acquisitions after facing sharp cost increases and delays on Australian iron ore investments.
One key development at stake is the Mbalam iron ore project that privately owned Hanlong is set to take over on the border of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo.

American University Washington College of Law Welcomes 2013-14 Humphrey Fellows
Eleven legal scholars and professionals from around the world arrived in Washington, D.C. in August to participate in the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program coordinated by the International Legal Studies Program at American University Washington College of Law.
The program, sponsored by the State Department, provides these international fellows with non-degree academic study and professional experiences in the United States. Participants are selected based on their potential for leadership and commitment to public service.
"The Humphrey Fellowship Program provides a great opportunity for foreign trained professionals working in the legal field to experience cultural exchange and professional development," said Fernanda Katz Ellenberg, international programs coordinator at AUWCL, "They also become a close knit group and we all look forward to learning from them."
American University Washington College of Law is one of nearly 20 major U.S. universities hosting the Humphrey Fellows Program.
"We are privileged to be one of only two law schools to host this program, and are thrilled to have once again been named a host campus for the next five years," said Professor Padideh Ala'i, director of the Program at AUWCL.
During the 11 months of the program, the fellows enhance their professional legal expertise, take academic classes, will interact with international organizations, local non-governmental organizations, and law firms. They also immerse themselves in local culture, meet local residents, and collaborate with the surrounding communities.

Reunion Weekend 2012
May 21st, 2012 |
Reunion 2012 filled the campus with energy and enthusiasm. Over 200 SMWC alumnae and guests returned to campus to reunite with their classmates for a time of reconnecting and reminiscing. Those celebrating their reunions ranged from the classes of 1947 through 2007.
Weekend activities included an art exhibit by Marti Rumely Kuehn '69, class agents' and class secretaries' pep rallies, campus tours, college updates, the annual alumnae association meeting and mass. The weather favored the weekend – perfect for campus tours, horse-drawn carriage rides and groups of runners around campus.
The weekend culminated at the annual Reunion Banquet where class gifts were announced and alumnae awards presented. The Frances Murphy Rumely Award was presented to Kathleen Wentland Lubeznik '80, chair of the SMWC Board of Trustees for her outstanding dedication and leadership to civic and educational organizations. The Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Award was presented to Gertrude Knecht Mazzarella '57 for demonstrating leadership, purpose, devotion and community vitality as exhibited by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin.

Kahramanmaraş Aksu TV, Kaçkar TV, A9 TV, 14 Temmuz 2011
The hypocrite is a monster. He travels around in camouflage, like a snake, in order to poison Muslims. That is why the greatest threats to Muslims are first, hypocrisy, and second disbelief. That is why Bediüzzaman says the Mahdi will shatter hypocrisy and disbelief. Disbelief relies on hypocrisy. Disbelief cannot act without the backing of hypocrisy. Allah puts the hypocrites in the lowest level of hell. There can be no system based on disbelief without hypocrites telling tales and being vile and two-faced. Hypocrites inflict all kinds of evil on Muslims while appearing to be Muslims themselves.
A hypocrite is a strong as 1000 people. That is why their punishment will be so much worse. Allah puts the hypocrites in the lowest spot in hell. But He says that He gave them that power. Hypocrites imagine they carry out those offensives through their own cleverness and strength. They do not realize this is in their destiny and that Allah makes them do it. They do not realize they are shown a screen and that Allah makes them perform all their hypocritical actions on that screen. They imagine they do it all themselves. They do not realize they are watching an image. The hypocrite lacks the reason to grasp that, and he is unaware it is all in his destiny. It is Allah Who made Abu Lahab and Abu Jahil and all the other hypocrites do what they did. Allah says that Abu Lahab's hand is dried up. He says they are in hell, and his wife is carrying timber. There is a reference in the Qur'an regarding Abu Lahab existing while the clay of the Prophet Adam (as) was still being made. Abu Lahab had not yet been born. At the same time he is in hell, and has not yet been born.
There are many secrets in Surah Ya Sin. "A man came running from the far side of the city, saying, 'My people! follow the Messengers!" (Surah Ya Sin, 20)
Abjad calculation gives a date of 2036. The person coming running from the far side of the city is Hazrat Khidhr (as). That appearance is one belonging to Hazrat Khidhr (as). Hazrat Khidhr (as) is someone who lived in Pharaoh's palace with no problems.
The way of the Mahdi is the group of people who will strive against the most fanatical hypocrites and unbelievers after the time of our Prophet (saas). The most psychopathic hypocrites and fanatical unbelievers are living in the End Times. And the most powerful guardians are also living in the End Times. The most fanatical dajjals (antichrist) are also in the End Times. And the loftiest guardians. Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as) are in the End Times. The End Times are a key age. And Istanbul is a key city.
Surah Ya Sin 1-8;
"Ya Sin
By the Wise Qur'an.
Truly you are one of the Messengers."
Mahdis are sent all the time. Our Prophet (saas) is also a mahdi. And the Mahdi (as) of the End Times is a mahdi.
"[You are] on a straight path." The Mahdi (as) is unsullied on his path, as was our Prophet (saas). The Mahdi (as) will head down a straight path, Allah tells us, insha'Allah.
"[The Quran] The revelation of the Almighty, the Most Merciful."
Almighty Allah is referring to the Qur'an. Hypocrites hate the Qur'an, may Allah forbid. They swim in a sea of nonsense. They reject the fact that the Qur'an is enough. There is a filthy swamp of ascribing equals to Allah in the mind of the hypocrite. The hypocrite never wants to step out of that swamp.
"so that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned and who are therefore unaware."
This is addressed to our Prophet (saas). And also to Hazrat Mahdi (as).
"The Word has been justly carried out against most of them so they have no belief."
"The Word" also means restrictions, a crisis. The economic crisis. The abjad value of verse 7 is 2007.
"We have put iron collars round their necks reaching up to the chin, so that their heads are forced back." There is an arrogance among hypocrites. They want to be more important than anyone else. That is why they spurn Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as). They find a sheikh or teacher for themselves and imagine they will one day replace him. They have a perfidious aim. They imagine they can get to the top by scheming and plotting. That is also why they spurn the way of the Mahdi.

Envious Met Police boss Jimmy Cooper has admitted a goalscorer of the quality of Richard Jolly is well out of his league financially, writes Will Kelleher .
The former Sutton United and Carshalton Athletic striker scored the only goal as the Blues succumbed to a 1-0 Ryman Premier League opening day defeat to Wealdstone.
Cooper's men, who drew with 0-0 at Bognor Regis Town on Tuesday night, have been impressive during pre-season – managing to find the net at will.
It has been a different story in the league as they have fired blanks so far, but the Imber Court chief insisted goalscoring would be no problem.
"If you give Richard Jolly an opportunity like that he will score," he said.
"I think every non-league team would want a player like him, but they are difficult to come by.
"We would love to have him, but his wage demands would be far too high for us.
"We've got three very good forwards of our own and we'll have Howard Newton back soon, so we'll be fine."
Met Police go to Lowestoft Town today.

PLANEGG, GERMANY and MUNICH, GERMANY and PRINCETON, NJ and HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 06, 2012) -
Agennix AG (FRANKFURT: AGX) (XETRA: AGX) today announced that the FORTIS-M Phase III trial with talactoferrin alfa (talactoferrin) did not meet its primary endpoint of improving overall survival. The FORTIS-M trial evaluated talactoferrin plus best supportive care compared to placebo plus best supportive care in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease had progressed following two or more prior treatment regimens. Median overall survival in the talactoferrin arm was 7.5 months compared to 7.7 months for placebo (hazard ratio 1.04, p-value 0.66).
Rajesh Malik, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Member of the Management Board, said: "We are extremely disappointed and surprised with today's results, especially considering the earlier promising results we had seen in two randomized Phase II trials with talactoferrin alfa in non-small cell lung cancer. We plan to thoroughly analyze the data to better understand these results. We would like to thank all of the patients and investigators who participated in this clinical trial. We hope that the results of this study will help to advance scientific knowledge in this area, as there is an urgent need for new treatment options for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer."
Torsten Hombeck, Ph.D., Chief Financial Officer and Spokesperson of the Management Board, said: "We are taking immediate steps to conserve cash while we evaluate our business options. We will provide more details on our corporate plans in the near future."
The FORTIS-M trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial evaluating talactoferrin plus best supportive care compared to placebo plus best supportive care in Stage IIIb/IV NSCLC patients whose disease has progressed following two or more prior treatment regimens. There were 742 patients enrolled in the trial from over 160 clinical sites in North America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region.
The nature and incidence of adverse events in the talactoferrin arm were similar to that of placebo and consistent with previous clinical trials.
Conference Call Scheduled
Agennix has scheduled a conference call, which will be conducted in English, to be held on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at 8 AM EDT/2 PM CET. A live webcast will be available on the Agennix Web site at www.agennix.com. A replay will be available via the Web site following the live event.
Dial-in numbers for the call are as follows:
Participants from Europe:
0049 (0)69 7104 45598
0044 (0)20 3003 2666
Participants from the U.S.:

Flames Takes Title at Sea Best Invitational
A two-team race finished in a tie, but thanks to the Flames' strong final day push, Liberty was declared the winner of the 2014 Sea Best Invitational on Tuesday afternoon.
No. 37/36 Liberty (Golfstat/Golfweek) and North Florida distanced themselves from the rest of the 16-team field and both finished tied for first with a 22-over par 886 following 54 holes of action at the famed TPC Sawgrass – THE PLAYERS Stadium Course.
However, tournament officials declared Liberty (296-293-297) the victor based upon its final round nine-over par 297 on Tuesday. North Florida (298-284-304) posted a final round 16-over par 304 and was one of the 13 teams in the field that shot a double-digit over-par score on the day.
The win marked Liberty's 23rd NCAA Division I team title and the first since the Flames claimed the title at the Rees Jones Invitational in Daufuskie Island, S.C., on Oct. 2, 2012.
Finishing a distance third place was No. 9/5 Texas A&M, who carded a 36-over par 900 (306-295-299). No. 48/46 Tennessee, last year's tournament champion, finished in fourth place with a 40-over par 904 (304-297-303).
North Florida's Austin Padova (72-70-74) and Texas A&M's Greg Yates (75-70-71) tied for first place individually. The pair circled the home course of the PGA Tour and the site of THE PLAYERS Championship three times at even par.
Liberty's Niklas Lindstrom (71-74-73) finished tied with Texas A&M's Ben Crancer (71-72-75), the 86-man field's top ranked individual golfer, with both players carding a two-over par 218.
Lindstrom overcame an early bogey and double bogey with two backside birdies to post his second top five finish of the 2013-14 season.
The Flames' Mathieu Fenasse (74-73-75) finished four shots behind Lindstrom and shared fifth place with three other golfers at six-over par 222.
A birdie at the par-4, No. 6 hole got the junior back to one-over on the day, but he closed with bogeys on two of his final four holes to slip back to three-over par for his final round.
Ian McConnell finished in solo 12th place with an eight-over par 224 (76-72-76). The senior bookended four-over par rounds after bogeying the par-4, No. 11 hole and posting a double bogey on the par-4, No. 15 hole on Tuesday.
Harrison Winger (75-77-73) finished one shot behind McConnell and shared 13th place with East Carolina's Eric Brady (72-80-73) and USC Upstate's Adam Goins (80-71-74). All three golfers finished the tournament with a nine-over par 225.
Chase Marinell (WD-74-76), Liberty's final starting golfer in the tournament, closed with a four-over par 76 on Tuesday, but did not place in the tournament after his first round score was disqualified this morning following a ruling.
Jacob Mast, Liberty's sixth golfer in the field, competed as an individual and he finished tied for 76th place with a 36-over par 252 (88-78-86).
The Flames will return to the "Sunshine State" for their second of three-straight, Florida-based tournaments when they participate in Florida's Gator Invitational. The two-day, 54-hole event will be played at the Mark Bostick Golf Course in Gainesville, Fla., on Feb. 15-16.

The San Diego Unified School District faces a $92 million deficit beginning July 1. Class sizes will increase for many younger students, the school year will be reduced five days for all, and previously implemented academic cuts will not be restored. So what does the school board do? It votes to give $25,000 bonuses to two dozen teachers who have already retired. At a cost of $600,000.
The move is part of the district's effort to entice its most veteran teachers into retirement and off the payroll to help close the budget gap. Board members said the $25,000 retroactive bonuses to teachers who retired in the last year was a matter of fairness.
Hogwash, we say. This is idiotic. It is irresponsible. But it is hardly a surprise for this school board majority. These board members have proved time and again that they care more about the pay and benefits of the adults under their charge than the kids they are supposed to educate.

'Fiscal Cliff' Nears As Leaders Rush To Find Agreement
Senate leaders are rushing to assemble a last-ditch agreement to avoid middle-class tax increases and possibly delay steep spending cuts in an urgent attempt to find common ground after weeks of postelection gridlock.
An impatient President Barack Obama is pressing top lawmakers to cut a deal, even one that falls short of the ambitions he and congressional leaders may once have harbored for a bigger deficit reduction package.
Following a White House meeting Friday among Obama and congressional leaders, aides to the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada began racing against the clock for a bipartisan bargain. Senators could vote on a plan as early as Sunday.
The deadline for avoiding the so-called fiscal cliff is year's end.

Wood, Stone and Gold pipes can be combined with Redstone Dust to create conductive pipes. These pipes are the only type of pipes that can carry energy produced by Engines to machines that can normally be powered by engines (e.g. Quarries, Mining Wells and Oil Refineries). Energy traveling through Conductive Pipes is displayed as a solid blue line, with varying thickness depending on the amount of energy passing through the pipe. Conductive Pipes can explode if looped.
Wooden Conductive PipeEdit
The Wooden Conductive Pipe is used to extract energy from engines. They will automatically connect to the output side of adjacent engines. If engines are facing the wrong way, simply place the Wooden Conductive Pipe and right click the engine with a Buildcraft Wrench. Stone and Golden Conductive Pipes will not connect to engines.
Stone Conductive PipeEdit
The Stone Conductive Pipe carries energy. To give the energy to a machine, just place the pipe next to the machine. They lose 1% of the energy per block.
Golden Conductive PipeEdit
The Golden Conductive Pipe serves the same function as the Stone Conductive Pipe, except that it loses only 0.01% of the transferred energy per block, making them much better suited for long-distance power transport. They do not need to be powered by a Redstone current.

It's a cruel coincidence that the latest death knell for Saab comes within days of the latest extension of car guy Bob Lutz's lease on life.
On Thursday, a Swedish court rejected the carmaker's attempt to seek protection from its creditors, pushing a decision on potential insolvency into the hands of suppliers and employees awaiting payment for materials and labour. Saab is appealing, but the obituaries for the group – now selling well under 100,000 units annually – are already being written. Read more

Am I getting this right ? (because I have 4piece and feng helm and kings chest and I came to this conclusion too, but I'm sure I'll find here confirmation on the reason why to do it)
Bloodseeker only has 323Haste, and you gain 197haste via reforging the crit away on dread shadow. 127haste lost is not such a big loss is it ?
So assuming you benefit fully from the hit and regain your expertise elsewhere, it should be an overall gain.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:YouKnowWhatTheMusicMeans/MGMT (2nd Opinion)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit MGMT
As always, I like two different opinions. Yes the article is unfinished. Yes, I want it in-depth. Have a nice day! You know what the music means... Our time is up. 19:18, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- And the link doesn't work somehow? User:YouKnowWhatTheMusicMeans/MGMT--You know what the music means... Our time is up. 19:19, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- As music is in my genes (or is that jeans?), I'll examine this one. WHY???PuppyOnTheRadio 04:36, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
|Intro to me Personally, I think it's helpful to know where a reviewer is coming from, so this will let you know how unqualified I am. I'm the current Noob of the Month, and am nominated for Reviewer of the Month, so at least somebody thinks I don't totally suck. I have a half-way decent background in music, and took a small handful of biology classes in college, but that's been a long time ago.
Your concept seems original (as far as I know, there aren't that many guitar-playing genes out there), but is very limited--a gene that plays music. While you manage somehow to make something out of this, I think the concept keeps you from doing very much. There's also the limitation that somebody who hasn't studied both biology and music in some detail won't get a number of your references.
|I like putting Humour and Prose and Formatting in the same section so I don't repeat myself too much, but I do score them separately. I read the article through without reading the Wikipedia article, then glanced at it for background before writing this.
Coding Styles
|Prose and Formatting (details in Humour):
|I think this is well-written, but the obscurity of your topic makes it's difficult to pin down. Also this is relatively short, but with a limited subject like this it may need to be short.
|I like the image, but would like it better if part of the gene were overlapping the guitar (closer to the viewer than the guitar)--the guitar seems to be floating in front of the gene, and there's no indication that the gene has hold of it. (You wouldn't generally have a photo of a guitarist with a guitar wthout part of the guitarist's arm or hand on the guitar, so that by layers there'd be the guitarist's hand or arm closest to the viewer and overlapping the guitar, then the guitar, then the rest of the guitarist's body). If this doesn't make sense, let me know.
|Miscellaneous, which may or may not be an average of the above:
|Average of above.
|Final Score:
|Again, I think this is so obscure that very few people will get your references. I'm probably a rare combination as I've taken university courses for both biology and music majors, and I didn't understand several of your references. But you do have some clever twists here, and bring together seemingly completely unrelated elements. And I definitely liked the way you combined musical and biological terminology.
