Andrew Lambirth finds a striking metaphor for the physical limitations of earthbound existence versus the infinite freedom of the spirit in Paul Nash's painting 'Winter Sea'
Paul Nash is one of the best-loved English painters of the last century, a great imaginative artist, always trying to discover the appropriate form for what he wanted to say. Nash was a philosopher-poet who expressed himself best (though he was a good writer) in visual terms and chose landscape painting as his primary vehicle. Although he died prematurely, in 1946 at the age of 57, his work stands easily above that of most of his contemporaries, and its originality and inventiveness have continued to inspire painters and beguile the public. He saw nature as a creative mystery and painting as a way of offering insight into it. The act of making a painting was for him essentially twofold: an emotional response to a subject and a process of solving visual equations between shapes. He tended to paint elemental forms distilled from nature rather than any kind of more rigorous abstraction. Nature was much more than textbook geometry.
Nash preferred painting trees to people and his landscapes are usually empty though pregnant with mysterious possibilities. His places are temporarily deserted, as if the inhabitants had just that moment exited our field of vision. He did not depict the natural world topographically, from the outside, as the plein-air realist might draw it, sitting on an old stump and attempting to describe the surroundings. Nash painted from within, the artist making a kind of mystical identification with the landscape, offering an insider's interpretation and thus proposing a different order of relationship with the viewer. Nash had a vision to communicate rather than visual facts. He wanted his audience to feel for themselves the importance and relevance of what he was painting.
In the first world war, Nash served in the British army in France and then worked as a war artist. His experiences at the Front affected him deeply and after the hostilities he went to live at Dymchurch on the Kent coast (1921–25) in order to recuperate from a breakdown ascribed to war strain. There is a notable emptiness to his work at this time. The flatness of the coast and nearby Romney Marsh may have recalled the plains of Flanders, and Nash apparently derived solace from gazing at the sea. He painted and drew the sea wall at Dymchurch and made of this rather stark subject many memorable images. One of the most moving and complex is 'Winter Sea' (1925–37), begun in Kent but completed many years later in London.
This extraordinary painting, with its long recessive planes and distinctive triangular shapes, its reduction of foaming waves and spray to stylised folds and geometric facets, presents an archetypal sea rather than a particular one. It may be based on Dymchurch — there are indeed suggestions of sea wall — but the artist's intention was evidently to make a larger and more general statement, of what an early Nash chronicler Margot Eates called 'the very pattern of all seas from everlasting to everlasting'.
The phrase strikes the right note of spiritual insight for Nash's slightly melancholy Romantic Cubism. Dusk has fallen on the wintry waves. The moon is only suggested, shadowed forth through a bank of snow-laden clouds, but what we are shown is a moon-path of reflections on a night sea. Upon that path a spectator might take the first tentative steps of the mind or heart's voyage into the infinity of faith. The first steps before being brought up sharp against a wall of dark cloud above the horizon. Here is a striking metaphor for the physical limitations of earthbound existence versus the infinite freedom of the spirit. Nash paints the limits, not the soaring of the spirit; this will come later as his work gains more assurance, when in his final years the sunflower was transfigured by flight and became a symbol of hope and resurgence. In the meantime, the sea, with its soft luminosity and yet apparent iron hardness (which has something of the armoured style of Wyndham Lewis), supplies a measured release for the soul.
Nash's relationship with the sea was an involved one. Intended by his father for the Navy, he failed to pass the entrance exam, although commentators in later life persisted in finding traces of a seafaring past in his mien. John Rothenstein described Nash's exceptional blue eyes thus: 'The steadiness of their gaze, and the habitual closeness of the pupils to the upper lid gave them the far-ranging look of the eyes of sailors.' And the art critic Herbert Read observed: 'He carried over, with his actual career, some of the swagger of the rejected career — art, for him, was to be the Senior Service.'
'Winter Sea' epitomises for Nash a lifelong fascination for all things maritime and refers back in particular to a very early drawing, now in the Tate Gallery, called 'The Pyramids in the Sea' (1912). In this, the triangular forms seem almost to be part of the water, rather than landward pyramids in the process of being engulfed by the tide. And to take an example from his later career, 'Winter Sea' relates closely to 'Totes Meer (Dead Sea)' of 1940–1, now also in the Tate. This is an immensely potent image of the massed hulks of crashed German planes gathered on a dump at Cowley, just outside Oxford. It is an iron sea of wreckage, an ocean of twisted metal, wings and fuselages. Here all movement is arrested, apart from a white owl gliding over the ghostly scene. The flood of planes is frozen, defeated, the threat of the sea confounded.
In the 1920s, and perhaps as a direct result of his war experiences, Nash was attempting to find an image for God. He did this consciously in an extraordinary series of 12 woodcuts he made as illustrations to the Book of Genesis, published in 1924 by The Nonesuch Press. Intense contemplation is bodied forth in powerful dark images: the woodcut relating to the division of the waters and dry land looks like a combination of 'Winter Sea' and 'The Pyramids in the Sea', though possessed of a different kind of flexed serenity.
According to one interpretation, 'Winter Sea' goes beyond the human and subjective into a cold realm of objectivity and perfect forms. I don't find the image that extreme: the rectilinearity of the structure is gentled with scarcely suppressed curves, the severity of its palette is redeemed by warmer tones — pink in the brown, green in the white. The interpenetration of shapes is important, and the sense of metamorphosis: the liquid becoming solid, the sea interchangeable with the land. Nash, in this tough but surprisingly tender image, was seeking to make an equivalent for nature, not a copy, and in doing so was trying to understand the forces that shape us all.

Security Device for Police Officers
Security Products
Longview, Washington
This is a Title III deal, which means that all investors — regardless of net worth or income — can invest.
MobileSpike allows law enforcement officers to stop pursuits from the safety of their vehicle.
High-speed pursuits have resulted in 11,500 fatalities. Nearly half of those deaths are innocent bystanders.
For nearly 70 years, law enforcement agents have aimed to stop fleeing vehicles by manually placing tire-puncturing spike strips on the road. This is inefficient, dangerous, and unpredictable.
MobileSpike offers a better solution. It allows law enforcement officers to quickly stop pursuits from the safety of their vehicle with the push of a button:
MobileSpike is a vehicle-mounted, retractable, in-motion tire-spiking system. It's safe and effective at speeds from 15 to 120 miles per hour. It works in a wide range of weather and road conditions, and greatly reduces pursuit time and public risk.
Its patented technology allows officers to end dangerous high-speed police pursuits quickly and safely using the same driving techniques they already know and use.
Field-tested by police departments across the country — all of which ended up becoming MobileSpike customers — this product is now drawing requests nationwide.
Safety equipment is always a priority for police agencies — so the company expects sales will be robust to many of the 16,869 city, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in the United States, with approximately 400,000 currently active service vehicles.
The company is aiming to reach sales of 9,000 units and approximately $28 million, and will then aim to optimize a financial return to its investors via selling MobileSpike to a larger company.
Raymond Moss – VP, Director of Law Enforcement Training
A former marine and a 25-year veteran of the Washington State Patrol, Raymond knows what officers go through on a daily basis.
He worked the Governors Mansion security, dignitary security, and served as a motorcycle training officer.
His leadership on the MobileSpike team has ensured that the product is efficient, reliable, safe to use, and easy to implement into officer training.
Michael Moormeier – CEO
Michael has spent nearly the last 10 years providing pursuit-stopping technology and training to Police Agencies in the US and Canada.
He was inspired to invent a safer solution for police pursuits after watching a Discovery Channel program on current police chase technology.
He believed there had to be a safer solution for stopping pursuits that was cost effective for precincts but still profitable for the builder.
Todd O'Halloran – Director of Research & Development
Todd brings 36 years of product research and development to the MobileSpike team.
He's worked in marine propulsion systems, auxiliary hydraulic systems, anti-theft equipment, and procurement of material certification by the FAA.
Gabe Terreson – COO
Gabe began his career in the mortgage industry as a Loan Officer at the age of 21, and achieved the President's Club for closed loan volume in his first year in the business.
He's been a manager or owner in the mortgage industry since age 28.
Gabe now manages the details at MobileSpike, making sure things stay running smoothly and efficiently.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi! I believe I can help with this issue.
There are a number of good solutions to help you.
First of all, you need to know there are a number of medical "solutions" available today. Low dosages of antidepressants have been found to slow down ejaculation. You would need to discuss this with your doctor and see if he is familiar with this or if he needs to refer you to a psychiatrist who will be able to prescribe and monitor the drugs.
PDE-5 inhibitors are a class of drugs that help maintain erections. The most popular drug today is Viagra. They are the first thing most men try as they are easy to use. Though doctors don't often tell you: best results are had when you take them on an empty stomach.
A penile pump and ring may be helpful as well. There's a lot of history with a vacuum pump and penile ring. Here's some information:
If you've tried one of the PDE-5 inhibitors and it didn't work well, there are two medical options. The way most patients choose between them is they decide which application method they're most comfortable with. Intracavernosal penile injections (IPE) have been shown in research to be the most effective medical ED treatment option. But intraurethral alpostradil (called MUSE commercially for Medicated Urethral System for Erection) is a close second. They both involve applying something to the penis under the skin. But the word injection gets some people nervous, whereas the MUSE uses an applicator that's inserted into the tip of the penis. Even though many people are queasy about injecting their penis, once they are used to it, there is very little complaint. The first application of either medication requires it to be done in a supervised fashion. That's important. So make sure your doctor doesn't just describe the procedure. No embarrassment allowed here.The other determining factor is side effect. The most common for IPE is pain. For MUSE it's a burning sensation. Now when I say common, I mean reported, not that everyone gets these side effects. But the success with either of these methods has been well documented without any problems for most men who try them.
Another approach is to do some looking into your emotional self as much as your sexual self. To do this, you may want to seek an experienced sex therapist. By that I mean a psychologist or psychotherapist who is certified by either the AASECT (http://www.aasect.org/) or the American Board of Sexology (http://www.americanboardofsexology.com/). This is a more demanding solution for you but it is the most comprehensive with the greatest chance of success for the long term in getting this problem solved if it is a manifestation of your emotional difficulties and not a physical problem. Most men with PE find that it is a psychological problem more than a physical one.But there are also some self-help techniques that you most likely want to try first. So, I'm going to give you to try first a quick technique that the great psychiatrist Viktor Frankl came up with for this problem in his practice: it is called paradoxical intention. You can learn a little about it here:
The way it works is: when you need to sexually perform, that is, from when you first know that you are going to have sex that day/night, you tell yourself: "Okay penis, I dare you to come quicker than you have ever come before!!!! Go ahead, you are going to be lightening fast!!! You're going to come even before you get inside her (him)!!!"Do you get the idea? It seems kind of silly, but you will be surprised how many people this simple technique has helped!! The idea is that you have to challenge your premature ejaculation. You have to be bold and dare it. You have to make fun of it and you have to trash talk to it. Serious! Read the chapter on it in the link I gave you above for a bit more detailed explanation.Okay, that's one simple technique that has helped many. Next, here are books that you should read and see if you connect with:1. She Comes First: the Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman by Ian Kerner. This is a classic and I've seen many men helped by it.
2. How to Overcome Premature Ejaculation by Helen Singer Kaplan. Those who connect with this book find it SO helpful!
3. This third book is good for the many areas it explores for how to treat this yourself: Coping with Premature Ejaculation by Michael Metz.
Okay, I've given you a number of approaches here to explore: 1) Antidepressants, Viagra, and penile pump, 2) penile injections, 3) counseling, the long-term approach. 4) Paradoxical intention, a quick self-help technique. 5) Self-help books.
I wish you the very best!
Please remember to click the green accept button because: even though you have made a deposit, I do not get paid for my time unless you press ACCEPT. Feel free to continue the discussion as my goal is to get you the best answer possible. You can continue the discussion even after pressing ACCEPT. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue, just put "for Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, ***** *****

Beaver Falls, PA - The Geneva College softball team won a pair of games on Tuesday afternoon over Point Park University by the scores of 11-3 and 5-2. The doubleheader sweep helped move Geneva′s overall record to 10-6 as the Golden Tornadoes enjoyed some more home cooking on their home field. Geneva is playing on its campus field for the fourth year and improved its all-time home record to 42-10 with the doubleheader sweep.
After spotting Point Park a 3-0 lead heading to the bottom of the third, Geneva finally got its offense in gear. Ashley Davis provided a clutch two-out single to plate the first two runs and then Leanne Abate added an RBI double to tie the game. The Golden Tornadoes batted around in the fourth inning and scored five runs to break the game open. RBI singles from Martha Adams, Davis and Abate highlighted the rally. In the fifth inning, Geneva ended the game due to the eight run mercy rule. Christina Fuqua and Lead Prisuta each had run scoring singles in the fifth. Julie DiLonardo came on in the fourth inning to earn her sixth victory of the season. She retired all five hitters she faced for the victory. Abate ended game one with three hits while Prisuta, Davis and Fuqua each had a pair in Geneva′s 12 hit attack.
DiLonardo pitched a complete game in the night cap for her seventh victory. She allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out four. Prisuta was 3-4 in game two while scoring a pair of runs. She got Geneva on the board in the first inning when she scored on Adriane Blake′s RBI groundout. Prisuta knocked in Geneva′s second run in the second inning with a two-out base hit. The Golden Tornadoes posted a pair of big insurance runs in the fourth inning on Adam′s two-out, two-run double. Geneva pounded out 11 more hits in the night cap.
The Golden Tornadoes are scheduled to travel to Ursuline on Saturday afternoon for a 1 pm doubleheader. They return home next Wednesday for a twin bill against Penn State Beaver.

Possibly even more than San Francisco residents like to drink, San Francisco mixologists like to create. We're a passionate city and when we find something we enjoy, we persue it full force. Holy Water, the new Bernal Heights project from the owners of Churchill and Bloodhound, uses this idea to frame their late-night drink concept, the "11th Hour." Long story short, at 11pm every night Holy Water is going to start doing some really badass things at the bar. What they decide to do each night will vary depending on the bartenders' moods, but you might just expect one of the following...
- Magnums & Growlers of Beer: At 11pm the bar will uncap some very rare, very large bottles of beer to share with guests. These large format brews are limited releases and are very difficult to source, but the Holy Water team is working closely with selected breweries to have a few special recipies bottled specifically for their 11th Hour offerings. Because there will be a limited supply of these rare gems, when they are gone, thats it. All good things must come to an end, but try back 24 hours later for the next round!
- Full Disclosure: Holy Water bartenders are experimenting with new ingredients, recipes, and techniques and need taste testers. That's where their guests come in! Their hopes are that people take advantage of this opportunity to taste some really awesome/wierd/unique things that aren't on any menu in the city. The lead bar specialist has been sourcing some really awesome ingredients in preparation and he's eager to try them out. The best part? If someone doesn't like their drink, they don't have to pay for it.
- Bartenders Choice: Basically the customer chooses an ingredient (or two) and lets the bartender come up with an off the menu cocktail. For example, if the guest loves rum and ginger beer, the bartender will create a drink using those two ingredients. Enjoy messing with people? Pick ingredients like egg whites and safron, and put the mixologist on the spot. The idea behind this is to enhance engagement between the customer and staff and encourage new ideas!
- Flight Night: Flights that Holy Water thinks are really awesome and wants people to try, anything from a limited-release beer to a Single Barrel selection from one of their sister bars, will be on tap. A good chance to try some of the owners' personal faves.
So much for going home early. But then again, you don't live in this big city for nothing. Cheers to that!

Jesus Christ taught the Nephites how to receive the blessings of His gospel and instructed them to influence others for good. He declared that He had fulfilled the law of Moses, and He gave the people a higher law to prepare them to become like Him and our Father in Heaven.
Suggestions for Teaching
3 Nephi 12:1–12
Jesus Christ teaches the multitude about the blessings we receive as we live His gospel
Before class, write the following questions on the board:
Does Heavenly Father expect us to be perfect?
Do we need to become perfect in this life to enter the celestial kingdom?
Can we ever be perfect?
At the beginning of the lesson, invite students to ponder these questions. Ask them to consider the questions throughout the lesson.
Invite a student to read 3 Nephi 12:48 aloud. Point out that this is a scripture mastery passage. You might want to suggest that students mark this passage in a distinctive way so they will be able to locate it easily.
Invite a student to read the following statement by Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles about the commandment to be perfect:
"We need not be dismayed if our earnest efforts toward perfection now seem so arduous [difficult] and endless. Perfection is pending. It can come in full only after the Resurrection and only through the Lord. It awaits all who love him and keep his commandments" ("Perfection Pending," Ensign, Nov. 1995, 88).
Why do you think perfection can come "only through the Lord"?
Review the three questions at the beginning of the lesson. Ask students if they might change their answers to those questions after reading 3 Nephi 12:48 and hearing Elder Nelson's explanation. Help students understand that Heavenly Father does not expect us to become perfect during our mortal lives but that as we diligently strive to keep the commandments and as we rely upon the Atonement, we can ultimately be perfected.
Write the word blessed on the board. Invite students to read 3 Nephi 12:1–12 silently, looking for attributes the Savior urges us to develop and blessings He promises as a result.
What blessings have come into your life as a result of living the teachings of Jesus Christ in 3 Nephi 12:1–12?
Point out how often the word blessed appears in these verses. Share your testimony of how you have been blessed as you have lived according to the Savior's teachings.
Ask students to write in notebooks or scripture study journals about a blessing they desire that is described in 3 Nephi 12:1–12. Have them write down the attribute they must develop to receive that blessing. Then invite them to write what they would like to do to develop that attribute. Invite a few students to share what they have written and why.
3 Nephi 12:13–16
The Savior exhorts the multitude to be righteous examples to the world
Display a container of salt. Ask the class to identify the benefits of salt. As students answer, be sure it is clear that salt seasons food and that it is a preservative used to prevent meat from spoiling. You may also want to explain that under the law of Moses, priests were commanded to offer salt with their sacrificial offerings (see Leviticus 2:13). Thus, salt was a symbol of the covenant between the Lord and His people.
Invite students to read 3 Nephi 12:13 silently and identify whom the Savior compared to salt. As students respond, explain that the Savior was referring not only to the multitude at the temple that day but to all those who are baptized into His Church and live His gospel.
In what ways can we, as followers of Jesus Christ, be like salt? (We are to help preserve or save people and to improve the world by influencing others for good.)
What do you think it means for salt to lose its savor?
As students discuss this question, you may want to read the following statement by Elder Carlos E. Asay of the Seventy:
"Salt will not lose its savor with age. Savor is lost through mixture and contamination. … Flavor and quality flee a man when he contaminates his mind with unclean thoughts, desecrates his mouth by speaking less than the truth, and misapplies his strength in performing evil acts" ("Salt of the Earth: Savor of Men and Saviors of Men," Ensign, May 1980, 42).
Why must we be pure in order to influence others for good?
Explain that the Savior used another symbol to teach how covenant members of His Church should influence others for good. Invite a student to read 3 Nephi 12:14–16 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for how the Savior used light to teach about the role of His covenant people in the world. Before the student reads, you may want to explain that a bushel is a basket.
How might Church members be a light to others? What do you think it means to let our light shine? (As students answer this question, help them see how their examples of righteous living can help other people.)
In what ways might some Church members cover their light?
According to 3 Nephi 12:16, why does the Savior want us to let our light shine? (As we set a righteous example, we can help others glorify Heavenly Father. You may want to suggest that students write this principle in their own words in their scriptures.)
Whose righteous example has helped you to draw nearer to Heavenly Father and strengthened your desire to live the gospel?
Invite students to ponder the example they set for those around them. Encourage them to think of how they can better help others deepen their love for Heavenly Father and their desire to follow Him.
3 Nephi 12:17–48
Jesus Christ teaches the multitude the higher law that will help them become like Him and Heavenly Father
Explain that the Savior continued to teach the Nephites how to come unto Him and enter into the kingdom of heaven. Invite a student to read 3 Nephi 12:19–20 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for a word that appears multiple times in these verses.
What important word does the Savior use three times as part of this invitation to come to Him? (Commandments.)
Explain that 3 Nephi 12:21–47 contains some specific commandments the Savior gave that will help us come to Him and become more like Him. When He taught these commandments to the Nephites, He referred to precepts that were part of the law of Moses and then taught a higher law. He referred to the traditional understanding of the law of Moses when He used phrases such as "it hath been said by them of old time" and "it is written." When He said "but I say unto you," He introduced the way He desires us to keep that commandment today.
To help students study these verses, copy the following chart on the board. Divide the class into four groups. Assign each group one row in the chart, and invite them to read the accompanying verses and answer the questions.
What was the traditional understanding in the law of Moses?
How did the Savior counsel us to live?
What might a young man or woman do to apply the Savior's teaching?
For the benefit of students reading 3 Nephi 12:22, you may want to explain that Raca is a derogatory or mocking term that expresses contempt or derision (see Matthew 5:22, footnote d). You may also want to explain that Elder David E. Sorensen of the Seventy taught that the phrase "agree with thine adversary quickly" (3 Nephi 12:25) means to "resolve our differences early on, lest the passions of the moment escalate into physical or emotional cruelty, and we fall captive to our anger" ("Forgiveness Will Change Bitterness to Love," Ensign or Liahona, May 2003, 11).
When students have finished studying their assigned verses, invite each group to report their answers. You may want to have them write their answers in the chart on the board.
What seemed to change between the law of Moses and the higher law taught by Jesus Christ?
You may want to point out that the higher law focuses more on our desires, thoughts, and motivations than on our outward actions.
As we strive to be perfected, why is it so important to focus on our desires, thoughts, and motivations?
Invite students to choose one of the Savior's teachings in 3 Nephi 12 and write a paragraph about how they will make progress in that area.
Invite a student to read 3 Nephi 12:19–20 aloud. Help students understand that by repenting and diligently trying to keep the commandments the Savior taught, we can become perfected through the Atonement and "enter into the kingdom of heaven" (3 Nephi 12:20).
After students have completed these activities, invite them to share what was most meaningful to them. Summarize this chapter by writing the following principle on the board: As we come unto Christ and keep His commandments, we can become more like Him and our Father in Heaven, who are perfect. Remind students that in order to obtain any degree of perfection, we must rely on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Invite students to write about one or two ways they would like to apply the teachings of the Savior that they learned today. Conclude by sharing your testimony of the principle you wrote on the board.
Scripture Mastery—3 Nephi 12:48
Invite students to open their scriptures to 3 Nephi 12:48. Ask them to read the verse aloud in unison. Give students time to study the verse, and then ask them to close their scriptures and recite the verse again as perfectly as they can. Have them repeat the process of looking at the verse, closing their scriptures, and then reciting the verse from memory.
How did you improve with effort?
How does this activity help you understand your journey toward perfection?
Point out that our efforts in life are crucial. Remind students, however, that the Lord does not expect us to become perfect in all things during our mortal lives. Through the Atonement and our diligent efforts to follow the Savior, we can ultimately be perfected. Invite students to think of one way they can strive to follow the Savior.
Note: Because of the length of this lesson, you may want to use this activity on another day, when you have more time.
Commentary and Background Information
3 Nephi 12:28–30. The sin of lust
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained:
"Why is lust such a deadly sin? Well, in addition to the completely Spirit-destroying impact it has upon our souls, I think it is a sin because it defiles the highest and holiest relationship God gives us in mortality—the love that a man and a woman have for each other and the desire that couple has to bring children into a family intended to be forever. … Love makes us instinctively reach out to God and other people. Lust, on the other hand, is anything but godly and celebrates self-indulgence. Love comes with open hands and open heart; lust comes with only an open appetite" ("Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul," Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 44–45).
3 Nephi 12:43–44. "Love thy neighbor" and "love your enemies"
The Savior's teaching to the Nephites that they should love each other and love their enemies was timely and relevant. After centuries of wars between the Nephites and the Lamanites, as well as years of internal conflict, there would have been a tradition of hatred between rival groups. For example, Mosiah 10:17 states that the Lamanites "taught their children that they should hate them [the Nephites], and that they should murder them, and that they should rob and plunder them, and do all they could to destroy them." Had the people continued to live the Savior's teachings in 3 Nephi 12:43–44, they might have preserved peace and permanently ended the false tradition of teaching children to hate their enemies. However, the years of peace that followed the Savior's visit were destroyed because some of the people chose to "wilfully rebel against the gospel of Christ; and they did teach their children that they should not believe." They elected to adopt "the wickedness and abomination of their fathers, even as it was in the beginning. And they were taught to hate the children of God, even as the Lamanites were taught to hate the children of Nephi from the beginning" (4 Nephi 1:38–39).
Supplemental Teaching Ideas
3 Nephi 12:1–12. "Blessed are ye"
Write the word blessed on the board. Explain that the Lord has promised to bless us for our efforts to become perfected. Invite a student to read 3 Nephi 12:1–2 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for what the Savior counseled the people to do.
What did Jesus Christ counsel the people to do? (To give heed to the words of the twelve disciples He had chosen from among them, to believe in Him, and to be baptized.)
What blessings have you received as you have followed the teachings of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles?
According to 3 Nephi 12:2, what blessings do people receive when they believe in Jesus Christ and are baptized? (They receive the Holy Ghost, and their sins are forgiven.) When have you been blessed by the influence of the Holy Ghost?
Explain that after we have entered into the baptismal covenant, there is still more for us to learn and become. Invite several students to take turns reading aloud from 3 Nephi 12:3–12. Ask the class to follow along, looking for attributes the Savior urges us to develop and the blessings He promises as a result. You might want to suggest that students mark words and phrases that are particularly meaningful to them.
3 Nephi 12–14. The sermon to the Nephites and the Sermon on the Mount
Matthew 5–7 records the Savior's Sermon on the Mount, which is very similar to the Savior's sermon recorded in 3 Nephi 12–14. Many explanations about the Sermon on the Mount are available in the footnotes of the Latter-day Saint edition of the King James Version of the Bible but not in the footnotes of the Book of Mormon. Helpful explanations are also found in the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, which is found in the LDS edition of the King James Bible, and in the Guide to the Scriptures.

As Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu meets with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad today both parties are under pressure. The Turks will convey to Assad that they mean business when they ask him to stop his security forces attacking civilians. As for Assad he will have to convince the Turks that he is serious about reforms and dialogue.
But that will be difficult. In the past Syria has promised much and delivered precious little and losing it's friendship with Turkey would leave it isolated, with only Iran as a friend.
However, rather than taking a reconciliatory attitude, Syria has assumed a defiant position. On Sunday Davutoglu was warned by advisors to Assad that he "would be given short shrift". The warning came after Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said his minister would deliver a "decisive message," having seen past efforts to halt the violence, which activists say has now killed over 2,000 people, ignored.
The Turks too face a difficult situation: With US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking Turkey to pressure Syria to "return its military to the barracks and release all prisoners of concern", Ankara is being tested over its ability to play a leading regional role and deliver a decisive change in the behavior of the Syrian regime.
If talks fail, Erdogan might have to scrap his close friendship with Assad, with whom he has holidayed and built close ties between the two countries. Not only is Turkey Syria's largest trading partner, their citizens enjoy visa-free travel and it was Turkey which tried to broker a peace deal between Syria and Israel.
Those at the sharp end of the regime's brutal crackdown are watching the Turkish mediation effort closely. "The Syrian people want a firm stand against the Syrian government and for Bashar al-Assad to step down," said an activist from the Local Coordination Committees (LCC).
He said some Syrians had felt let down by past efforts by Turkey to halt the regime's brutal assaults against its people. Turkey, he hoped, "will not let us down this time too."
"We hope all countries that respect human rights will withdraw their ambassadors and take stronger positions against the Syrian regime," he said.
While Saudi Arabia withdrew its envoy to Damascus on Monday, Davutoglu has said it is too soon to talk about asking the Syrian ambassador to Ankara to leave. At the same time few hold out hopes that Turkey will impose unilateral economic sanctions arguing that they hurt the people not the regimes, but some speculate Turkey may put a halt to the building of the "Friendship Dam," a joint multi-billion-dollar dam project.
"We hope NATO will impose an air embargo on Syria in the event that heavy shelling continues on civilians," said the LCC representative. Failing that he warned the crushing of the Syrian revolution could leave the region faced with a sectarian war between Sunnis and Shiites. Syria is three quarters Sunni, but the elite of the regime and the Assad family are drawn from the Allawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam.
Serious destabilization in Syria could also allow Islamist extremists to gain a foothold, warned the LCC member.
Turkey will be careful not to be drawn into any military intervention in Syria, said an analyst quoted by Reuters, as they fear it could backfire on efforts to end ethnic Kurds' long-running insurgency in southeast Turkey.

MAIDUGURI — AT least seven security operatives and five gunmen were killed in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State when some gunmen suspected to be terrorists ambushed troops deployed in the area to maintain peace and order.
Also, unidentified gunmen, yesterday, killed four persons including a soldier, a policeman and an 80-year-old woman with her 13-year-old grandson in a gun duel at Song Local Government Area of Adamawa State, leaving the number of Nigerians lost to insecurity and violence on the third day of the New Year at 14 and the casualty figure in the last 10 days at 37.
However, the Joint Task Force, JTF, "Operation Restore Order" through its spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, denied that six soldiers and a policeman died in the Borno incident.
He insisted that one soldier, a policeman and five of the gunmen were killed during the gun duel.
The Borno incident, according to a source, occurred at about 2 p.m. when the gunmen laid ambush to one of the locations of the troops from the 21 Armoured Brigade, took them unawares and opened fire. The soldiers returned fire leading to an exchange of gunfire that lasted over an hour.
The source said seven security personnel and five gunmen suspected to be terrorists were killed during the encounter.
JTF denies casualty figure
Confirming the incident, Sagir in a statement in Maiduguri, the Borno State Capital said: "This is to confirm that at about 2 p.m, yesterday, January 2, 2013, gunmen attacked 21 Brigade troops' location at Marte, Marte Local Government Area in the Northern part of Borno State."
He said in the process, one soldier, one police personnel and five gunmen lost their lives during an exchange of fire, adding that no civilian casualty was recorded.
He stated that during the clash, the troops were able to recover some items which include two AK 47 rifles, one locally-made double barrel gun, three magazines loaded with 35 rounds of ammunition, one dane gun and four machetes.
In Adamawa, the attackers struck at about 1: 30 am, killing four victims and wounded two other soldiers and some civilians who are now in critical conditions in some hospitals in the state.
LG secretariat, police station burnt
Sources told Vanguard in Adamawa State that the attackers further set the Song Local Government Secretariat and Song Police Divisional Headquarters ablaze and damaged several vehicles.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Adamawa State Police Command, Mohammed Ibrahim, who confirmed the attack said two other soldiers and some civilians were in critical condition as a result of injuries they sustained in the gun battle.
The PPRO said: "It is true that there was an attack on some government formations. We are on our way to the scenes of the attacks with the state commissioner of Police to assess the level of damage. We had it on good authority that one gallant soldier, a policeman and one old woman with her grand-son
were killed in the attack."
He added that the local government secretariat and the police station in the area were razed during the attack while some cars were damaged.
He, however, appealed to law-abiding citizens to go about their lawful activities as the police were doing their best to protect them.
An eye witness told Vanguard, on the telephone, that the gunmen shared themselves into two groups before launching the attacks simultaneously.
One of the groups, which was heavily armed, attacked the police station in the heart of the town, shooting sporadically before overrunning and setting it ablaze, while the second group headed for the local government secretariat, ransacked it and set it on fire alongside nearby houses.
Unknown gunmen had in the last two days attacked four other local councils in the state including Maiha, Hong, Fufore and Song.

School trustees vote to find replacement for controversial book
MERIDIAN, Idaho (KBOI) - School trustees decided in a 2-1 vote "to look for a suitable replacement" for a book that drew more than a hundred people to a Meridian school board meeting Tuesday night. The body was mulling over a committee's recommendation to keep "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" as an option on the reading list.
During the public's opportunity to speak, one person called the book "verbal pornography" that "poisons the mind," while others said "Diary" told a story about a boy who finds education is his escape from poverty.
Parent Bonnie Stiles said she counted 133 "filthy words in this book that we do not speak in our home, that I'm sure you do not speak in your homes."
Some of the 50 or so speakers who each had three minutes to address the school board said the book about a young Indian growing up on a reservation has literary merit.
"For a lot of kids, this is the only place that they're (going to) find out that education is an escape from poverty," said Amy Armstrong, a middle school librarian. "It inspires kids from backgrounds of all kinds to reach for goals that seem unattainable."
Superintendent Linda Clark said emails the district received ahead of the meeting appeared to be "evenly distributed" with about half on each side.
"These children came from our wombs," said Sharon Blair, the grandmother who initially complained to the district. "You have them as teachers for a small part of the day. We have them for a lifetime, and I do not want our children exposed to explicit, filthy, racist things."
Some parents at the meeting Tuesday said teachers had been reading the book aloud in class, skipping sections of the book and telling students not to read certain chapters on their own.
Meridian schools say "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie was one of five books sophomores can choose for required reading. The others are "Life of Pi," "The Pearl," "A Walk Across America" and "The House on Mango Street."

Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a federally funded program which provides part-time jobs to eligible undergraduate and graduate degree-seeking students while in school. FWS positions are located on-campus and off-campus, and many provide a much needed service to students and members within the local community. These positions are available during the fall, spring, and summer terms of the academic year. Students may work up to 20 hours per week when school is in session (25 hours during the summer term) and may not earn more than their scheduled award.
In order to be considered for FWS, students must have:
Funds are limited. Students that are currently active in the FWS program will receive initial consideration when awarding these funds for the upcoming award year as long as the requirements have been met at the time of review. If remaining funds are available after the current FWS students have been awarded, new participants in the FWS program will be awarded FWS for the upcoming award year. Awarding will cease when funds are exhausted.
Beginning August 1st, students who are new to the FWS program and have not been awarded FWS will be sent an email instructing them to complete an online form confirming their educational and career interest and will be asked to upload a copy of their resume. Students will also select one of three mandatory FWS Orientation sessions to attend during the Weeks of Welcome. The FWS Orientation will include resume writing and a meeting with a Student Employment team member to discuss possible FWS placements in the student's field. Students will have until week 6 of the semester to secure a FWS position.
Summer FWS is awarded to active FWS students who are planning on working between the end of the spring semester and June 30th. FWS will be awarded until funds are exhausted.
In order to work from the end of the Spring semester until June 30th, students must:
Only students with a summer FWS award will be hired in a summer FWS position. Summer positions must be secured by the last day of the spring term or the award will be cancelled.
The initial award will allow students to work until June 30th, the end of the current award year. Recognizing that some summer positions extend past June 30th, students are allowed to utilize eligibility from the upcoming award year to remain working in these positions until the end of the summer semester.
In order to continue working after June 30th, students must:
• Have a valid FAFSA on file for the upcoming year;
• Be registered for at least half-time hours for the fall semester;
• Completed verification/resolved Caution-Flag issues for the upcoming year;
• Have an EFC of $25,000 or below for the upcoming year;
• Have remaining need in the Cost of Attendance budget for the upcoming year.
FWS is not a grant. It is a federally funded compensation program. Students that do not work will not receive the funds awarded to them and the award will be cancelled after a period of inactivity.
All of these steps must be completed by June 1st in order to be eligible to work past June 30th. No exceptions will be made.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As The Young and the Restless prepares to celebrate its 35th anniversary later this month, no one is more surprised than co-creator Lee Bell, who along with her late husband, the great William J. Bell, have created a television dynasty. Bell spoke to Buzz, saying, "I just really can't believe this. I am just totally surprised that we're (show) still here. When we started Y&R, I would have never guessed we'd be today still around and on the air." Buzz asked what she attributes to the success? "Well, I will tell you.Bill wrote and kept up with the times. The show not only has great characters, but they are also interesting and exciting. I also believe our show was way ahead of its time in writing various topics and issues." Buzz must add that many years ago William J. Bell said that the purpose of his show was "To entertain, inform, and educate. That's what this is all about." Contributed by MEW
Jeanne Cooper, who has played Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless for the last 34 years agrees. "Oh it's all about the flow. Heck I can't believe I'm still here. I've lasted longer here than in my marriage," Copper joked. Cooper also believes the powerful storylines and the characters are what has kept the show afloat. "Take me (Katherine). I love her. I make a connection to the audience," she said. "I also enjoy breaking the age barrier. Everyone thinks that when you hit a certain age you can't function anymore, and I'm out to prove them wrong. In life, one must take action and sail through the water." Cooper said that she loves her storyline, and that she enjoys being the powerful person she is, and now the business side to Katherine is coming out, which is great. "It's just a joy to be on such a show, and play such a part. Here's to 35 years more." Cooper said the show will have no official celebration, like a party at a grand hotel. "You know, it's no secret that daytime is suffering and fighting for its life. Instead of throwing $150,000 at some hotel, it's better to sink it in the show and keep people employed. If someone wants to bring a dish to the set, that would be fine." Contributed by MEW

Matthew Florida, ex-Ford Decker of Days of our Lives, chatted with Buzz saying that he is thrilled to be pre-nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series. "That's what I've been hearing. I'm surprised and shocked," Florida said. "It's great to think that in the three months I was on the show, I made such an impact." Buzz asked, what if you are officially nominated? "(Laughing) it would be great!. I'd be very excited and flattered," Florida said. Adding that he's still in touch with some of the writers, "and who knows maybe some day I can be back. Remember the girls literally buried me," but jokingly continued, "maybe not far enough." Since leaving Days, Florida has been working non-stop. He's been doing a lot of voice-over work, including for McDonald's to name a few, and just completed a TV spot for Ross Dept store that will run regionally. Great to hear that he's keeping busy.

In the end, one team will emerge as the winner and receive $50,000 in cash as well as having the child given a one year contract for representation by Marki Costello. Contributed by LMS

Speculation that Jeff Branson (Jonathan Lavery, All My Children) would soon be history in Pine Valley is somewhat exaggerated, according to the actor. Yes, Branson's contract is soon to expire, but he is in negotiations and the door has not yet been closed for him. Fans are now mounting a campaign to keep Branson around Pine Valley. One AMC fan recently saw Branson at a charity event in Florida. According to her account, "he let the fans know that his contract is coming to an end soon! But that the rumors in the soap mags are still just rumors and he has not been let go yet! The writers have seemed to have forgotten all about Jonathan and when they do recall - they don't have a mature storyline or a real romance for him!" She continued by saying that "Jeff loves working at AMC and I think that we fans need to let the writers know how just much we love Jeff!!!" So, fans of Jeff Branson, get on the band wagon. A campaign is now underway to keep the actor on the show. To jump on board, send in a six inch ruler to ABC (get the snail mail address here ) requesting that they write a storyline for Branson that "measures up." It is the initiator's belief that perhaps ABC will donate all the rulers to local schools. She concludes: "If we bombard them with rulers and letters, perhaps they will finally give Jeff an age-appropriate love story and grow up Jonathan." Contributed by jackieblue77 & LMS

What about transfer budgets?I'm looking at being Fenerbahce and having never really paid attention to Turkey in my other saves,I have no idea what to expect in terms of budget and/or what players I can reasonably expect to attract to the club! Any advice on Turkish staff/promising youngsters would be really appreciated also. Thanks in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

October 2012 – Connecticut Audubon Society's Center at Glastonbury is celebrating its 30th anniversary this fall by highlighting its key role in Connecticut Audubon's statewide education program.
Founded on October 2, 1982, the Center at Glastonbury has been a gathering place for residents of Glastonbury, South Glastonbury, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Portland, Manchester, East Hartford, Hartford, Marlborough and elsewhere, who visit for nature walks, birdwatching, art exhibitions, coffee house concerts and other events.
The Center's staff has also provided high quality environmental education to more than a generation of school children, and is now working to integrate its education programs into Connecticut Audubon's new, statewide Science in Nature program.
"Our volunteers are the heart of our Center," said Cynthia Bartholomew, the director of the Center at Glastonbury. "They organize and run the events, they greet visitors, care for animals, clean the center, maintain our gardens, and raise the funds needed to keep our Center active and relevant. But it's important to the communities we serve that we offer more, which is why for our 30th anniversary and beyond, we are putting such an emphasis on outdoor education."

Johannesburg - EFF leader Julius Malema has vowed to fight to end any attempts to frustrate his party members wearing their red overalls and domestic worker uniforms in Parliament and the legislatures.
Malema said the Gauteng provincial legislature's decision to bar eight of its members from the chamber this week was an "ANC-led" act of provocation.
EFF members in Parliament and the nine provincial legislatures "were nothing" without their red overalls and domestic worker uniforms. They would return to the legislature still wearing them, he said on Thursday.
Legislature Speaker Ntombi Mekgwe ordered the EFF MPLs out of the House on Tuesday during a debate on Premier David Makhura's State of the Province address, which he gave in Thokoza last week.
There was pandemonium when the MPLs resisted attempts to get them to leave the legislature peacefully, and the authorities called in the SAPS's Tactical Response Team to remove them.
On Wednesday, EFF members were still banned from participating.
But on Thursday, Malema told the media they would approach the high court to overturn Mekgwe's decision. He claimed there were no rules to stop his members from attending the legislature sitting in overalls and domestic worker uniforms.
"There are many who wish the EFF away in different platforms of legislatures and Parliament by suppressing its open association with the working class.
"The mindless accusation of the DA and ANC honourables (members) is that these workers' dress codes are unparliamentary, yet they forget that Nelson Mandela wore shirts without a tie, including in the UN, or that (Mvezo Chief and ANC MP) Mandla Mandela and (former ANC-turned-DA representative) Nosimo Balindlela walked into Parliament barefoot during the fashion parades of the State of the Nation address," Malema said.
The EFF did not mention when its legal representatives would file papers in the South Gauteng High Court in Joburg.
"The sad reality is that the ANC members in the Gauteng legislature think they are better than their national leadership.
"This is because, in the National Assembly, the ANC accepted the overalls and paid attention to the ideological content of debates,"' he said.
"Yet in Gauteng, which has always felt that it is above its national leadership, they used the explanation of EFF MPLs to try to demonstrate that what defeated the national leadership will not defeat them.
"Their act is consistent with a long-standing attitude of thinking they are exceptional to the rest of the ANC," Malema added.
He threatened to march to the legislature to demand the reinstatement of the EFF members, saying they were prepared to fight if provoked.
"They must not treat us like kids. They must not push us."
His party would also challenge the removal of the EFF's Themba Wele from the Eastern Cape legislature in Bhisho, he said.

I obviously feel for those that were attacked, but you have to wonder if teasing the animal has anything to do with it. It also sounds like human error may have been involved in the escape. Too bad someone had to get serioulsy hurt and a rare animal is dead because of idiotic behavior and human error.
I was at Busch Gardens a few years ago and noticed all the gorrillas looked like they were in a state of deep depression. Anybody else notice this? Is this normal? Not a big zoo fan but they have their role.
Looks like at least some subspecies of gorrilla will be gone in our lifetime from poaching. Too bad.
Return to The Taxidermy Industry Category Menu
the ultimate price in such matters. It is also a shame that people (Some not all)do not teach their children a zoo's purpose. My wife and I took my visiting daughter to our local zoo and Busch gardens. I was apalled at the lack of control that other parents exhibited as their children teased and just plain acted ignorant towards the animals that were present. Cecil, your right, it's a plain shame that people have to get hurt in situations like that, and it would make sense that it was a "cause and effect" scenario. Though I am not a direct proponent in keeping an animal out of it's natural habitat, I do believe that it becomes necessary when the proliferation of the species becomes in jeopardy. Too bad people don't relish the fact that some of these animals are the only ones left in the world. The real shame is that man is the double edged sword in the lives of many creatures don't you think?
Your right about this zoo.After I read that the workers with pepper spray were hiding or slacking I say shut them down.Mistakes can and will happen to humans but its how you handle the problem.When a full grown monkey can remove your arm I would think they might have had more safeguards for a priced gorilla.I will bet the lawyers are tripping over each other to get to those people.As in everything the actions of a few affect many.Good or bad.
But, they're all still depressing to me. I realize that it's the only way many of us will ever see some of these animals. And some of them are endangered. But I simply hate to see those poor animals held captive. They pace constantly or look depressed because they ARE DEPRESSED.
I have friends and/or family that say that they don't understand why I feel that way, "you're a hunter" they say.
They just don't get it...
that the gorillas will soon disappear is not because of poaching, it is because they keep evolving....

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by JvdMaat, Jan 15, 2013.
Just updated my US GT-N8013 to 4.1.2 through OTA update this morning.
Yep. I was coming here to post the same thing. I got it too. Installing now.
Dayam...I'm getting "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. try later."
I'll try again when I get home from work.
Question....if I'm using a launcher app....would I even see the new features? Do I need to be using the stock launcher in order to use the new features?
I use nova. You will get the multi window support and premium suite. Not sure even what is in here yet.
It is 4.1.2 btw
Getting the same thing here.
Same here. Must be too much traffic for their servers.
Yup when you get it... 4.1.2
It looks to be a very sizable update at 478.59MB. I am trying my luck uppdating through Kies right now. It said that there was a firmware update available, but is moving rather slow.
Just got back from my meeting and the Kies download is only at 53%.....this might take a while. Stupid slow free company internet.
Sweet! I was wondering if there was a jellybean ota for this thing. Maybe I should finally break the seal on the box and power the thing on
Yes, at 7am EST the download took around 20 minutes. Painfully slow, but glad to finally have it.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! Out of all the days I leave my tablet at home while I'm at work. The update shows up. Now the adrenaline is going
Seems everyone is using their server now. Apple sure does not ever have a problem with getting the upgrades to their users.
Is that a cough hear? Maybe you need to take the rest of the afternoon off.
now when you pinch on the main screen there is no lag when it goes into home screen thumbnail view.....its magical...swiping is a little smoother....now that we have what we want what will we be unhappy about now?
lol... I like the way you think. That made my afternoon.
Just wish I could get to their server and upgrade, still unable to reach it.
I use the GO launcher. So you won't see some of the upgrades if your using a launcher?
The one morning I decide not to check and it's finally available lol. Oh, Samsung. I also got the message saying that the updates are available on a first come first serve basis, so I connected it to Kies and it's downloading with no wait. Can't wait!
Same here. OTA update attempt shows the message (paraphrasing) First users are being served. Try back again later. I'll wait.
I guess we will all just wait and wait and wait and wait. Thinking a BIG company like Samsung is would have a larger server, to provide upgrading service to their product users.
Guys Just Use Kies To Update.
if you get "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. try later."
For some reason when I connect my tablet and have kies open kies does not see the firmware that my tab is currently on so it won't let me update. I am rooted. Any suggestions?

Byfleet is an inland "island" surrounded by waterways and its built-up part is a village of medieval origin. Today it is the most distant but contiguous suburb of the Borough of Woking in Surrey, England. Subsequently, residents are often referred to as 'Islanders'. Part, particularly the Sanway area, forms part of the Metropolitan Green Belt. Byfleet village takes up the far east of the borough and much of the land is within the widest gap between the Wey Navigation and the River Wey. Its western boundary is the M25 motorway where there is a major junction with the A3 road.
The village was in the Godley Hundred, a Saxon division for strategic and taxation purposes. Byfleet appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Byeflete.
Byfleet is an ancient parish. It was included as a civil parish in the Chertsey Rural District in 1894; it was added to the Woking Urban District in 1933 under a County Review Order, thus extinguishing its parish council. But Byfleet still constitutes a civil parish.
Twentieth Century History
Byfleet expanded considerably after the opening of the Brooklands Motor Circuit in 1907 and when major aircraft factories opened there during World War I.
The influence of the aircraft industry on the village's development continued between the wars and during World War Two. Most of the new aeroplanes built at Brooklands took off over the centre of Byfleet on their first flights.
For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Byfleet.

Iron Maiden – Coolest Costumes in Rock
Typically, it's Iron Maiden's lovable (and seemingly unkillable) mascot Eddie who gets to dress up in all the cool costumes at the band's concerts. But it looks like singer Bruce Dickinson has been raiding his closet, borrowing the solider outfit popularized on the cover of the 1983 single 'The Trooper.'
We'd also love to sport the futuristic 'Blade Runner' / 'Unforgiven' look featured on singles from the band's 'Somewhere in Time' album, but it's probably safest just to avoid copying many of Eddie's looks over the years, unless one wants to be lobotomized and locked in a padded cell, entombed, sent to war, buried alive or generally disassembled. Besides, as Maiden's members will testify, jeans and T-shirts work just as well.


text: If so, join us. Some members of the WR forums are starting to learn Polish. This textbook (available online for free) will be used. Drill exercises and a grammar reference are available on the same website. FAQ: Q: Why should I learn Polish? A: Click. Let me add that Polish is one of the most important languages of the European Union and one of its fastest-growing markets, and that the entrepreneurial spirit of the Polish people is hard to beat. Moreover, the turbulent history of Poland is a key to an understanding of Central and Eastern European societies. Q: If I learn some Polish, will I be able to communicate in other Slavic languages as well? A: Well... Czech, Slovak and possibly Ukrainian speakers will probably understand you but you will not understand them unless they start speaking in words instead of in sentences. However, the grammars of Slavic languages are similar and the languages have a large common base of useful words, which you will be able to recognize not only in countries neighboring Poland. Check out our threads on similarities and mutual intelligibility between Slavic languages. Q: Will I have to register or commit myself to any schedule? A: No. No online classes will be organized. You will self-study at your own pace, and if you don't like it, you can simply stop. Q: What are the benefits of learning Polish this way? A: Beginners using the same book will probably have similar doubts, problems, and questions. The Slavic forum will be a platform where you can consolidate what you have learned. Our helpful natives will assist you, and other learners will ask questions that may not have occurred to you. Group pressure will contribute more effectively to solid progress than will independent learning. And what a group! Our members tend to be language enthusiasts. Q: What if I already speak some Polish and do not want to wait until the others catch up with me? A: The project will be a useful refresher for you. As a WR member, you know how much you can learn by helping others. Q: I am a native speaker of another Slavic language. Should I embark on learning a language I already understand a bit? A: Absolutely! You can learn a lot effortlessly, just by skimming the book, reading the threads, and paying attention to false friends. Q: I have got many other commitments, and I am not sure I would be able to keep up with the others. Would it make sense to start anyway? A: Definitely. Threads opened by participating members will not disappear. They will ideally serve to help our future members, too. Q: Are there any particular forum rules I should respect? A: No, just the "normal" rules that you are familiar with. But I would appreciate it if you could re-read the copyright rule (number 16). Do not quote more than you may, and always acknowledge the source. If you refer to the book, give the page number so that our forer@s can identify your problem easily. Q: OK, I am convinced. What should I do next? A: Download the first chapter of the book, look up the audio files in our resources sticky, bookmark a dictionary of your choice and this webpage. There is no official start date for the "project". I expect first threads to start coming by the end of this week. Q: What else do I need? A: Patience and persistence. The beginnings will be hard because you will struggle with pronunciation, and the grammar is pretty complex as well. ***NEW*** Q: Almost all exercises are accompanied by audio files. How can I use the interactive features of the book? A: Click. The first time you click on the audio link (the first icon in the area I marked red), a prompt will ask you to authorize the file type either just for the current session or forever. I recommend the latter option. Then you will be able to listen to an audio file (the usual control panel appears, see the area in blue). To do this, you have to have the QuickTime player on your computer. It is available here for free. I tested all of the above in IE and Firefox. However, the exact sequence of the steps may be different for your particular settings. Unfortunately, I was not able to reach any remarkable result by clicking on the other two icons, video and drill exercises. If you are experiencing any difficulties with audio or if you know how to use the video and drills part, please post in this thread. Enjoy!
