I like this type of song
Thanks man.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
some problems
i cant say i love it. i only kinda like it. im not banging my head or anything. i really didnt like the drums. and the sudden cut off where the guitar solo begins really bugs me, in the verse or whatever(the part that wasnt a solo,intro, or outro) the bass was bugging me too. i liked the guitar. i liked the bass in the intro ALOT. the ending was really cool so was the solo. so there for a six and a three isnt a big basher right?
Yeah, you're right about the cut off.
I'm not huge on the drums either, they sound a bit robotic and repetitive.
I still like the bass during the verse though, so FUCK YOU!
Nah it's cool. :)

I am considering a Breast Lift and I am researching my options and I'm not sure if understand the difference or the benefits/downsides of these different procedures. Are there sugury videos available for me to veiw these procedures?
Sub-Areolar Vs Circumareolar Vs SemiAreolar Mastopexy
Doctor Answers 19
Sub-Areolar, Semi-areolar, and Circum-areolar Mastopexy
I understand your confusion and it occurs because these terms are often used improperly.
I have tried to clarify these terms for you:
Sub-Areolar = Dermal Mastopexy
This incision goes all the way around the border of the areola and is essentially a modified circumareolar mastopexy popularized by Dr. Becker. I have tried this with moderate success.
Circum-Areolar=Donut = Benelli=Round Block Masotpexy
This incision goes all the way around the areola. Its benefits are the limited scar. The disadvantage are the inability to predict or prevent the pursestring appearance. It tends to flatten the breast and is best performed with an implant. Various techniques have beed described without an implant and have met with mixed success. Attempts at reducing spreading of the scar necessitate the use of a permanent suture which can have problems with infection, palpability, visibility or nipple puffiness. Many modifications have been described. It cannot be used for advanced ptosis (sagging) which is still better managed with a vertical scar ("lollipop or tennis racket")
Semi-Areolar = Peri-Areolar = Crescent Mastopexy
Good for very minor degrees of sagging. It's benefits are its limited scar. The disadvantage is that it will occasionally stretch or enlarge the areola. I have used it primarily as a method to correct uneven nipple height from one side to the other. I rarely use it for a lift on both sides.
I have prepared a video which amy help to explain the confusion. It is based on a lecture I have given in the past. It has been converted from powerpoint, you may want to enlarge the video to see the pictures more clearly.
I hope this helps.
What type of Mastopexy is best for me?
Dr. Placik explains the differences beautifully. Each procedure is useful, depending on the distance the nipple needs to be elevated. In some cases, a vertical scar is added when the distance is greater than that which is easily accomodated by a peri-areoar or crescent skin excision. Many patients do not want a vertical scar. However, if the nipple has to be elevated more than about 1.5cm, and if no vertical incision is used, the peri-areolar scar can end up looking like a "sunburst".
This is permanent. The addition of a vertical scar will help prevent this. In addition as Dr. Placik explained, peri-areolar techniques can flatten the breast. Your surgeon should discuss the pros and cons of each method with you and you can decide together what is the best thing for you, given your particular anatomy. There is not one right method that can used in every case. There IS an ideal choice for you, given your needs. Hope this helps.
Subareolar vs. Circumareolar Mastopexy
There are technical differences in procedures done with an incision around the areola only.
The technical variations are relatively minor, and just that: technical. Each uses an incision around the areola. The placement of the sutures and the manner that the tissue is tucked varies slightly.
These techniques are suitable for minor changes in nipple position, but often result in flattening of the breast (less projection), and can result in stretching of the scar and of the areola.
It is unfair for you to try to sort this out on your own.
In fact, these are matters over which the experts disagree!
Your best solution is to get a couple of consultations with plastic surgeons, have a thorough discussion about your desires, concerns, and ask about trade-offs.

This is a tough question without seeing you. If you're young with good breast tissue than a circumareolar mastopexy will probably be fine. If you're young and have had several children than you may need this plus implants. If you have significant skin that needs resection then you'll need the periareolar plus a vertical and possibly horizontal incisions.
Do you see where I'm going? It's a complex question with many answers depending on your exam. So go see several surgeons then ask the question.
These are minor lifts and require an implant
What you are describing are minor forms of breast lifting and each needs an implant to drape the extra skin laxity since this extra skin is not excised as it is in a full lift. Make sure you go to an excellent plastic surgeon who can help you sort out what is best for your anatomy and desires.

Seek the Advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
I think it would be very difficult for anyone to make an informed decision about which type of breast lift to have without the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I would recommend one or more consults by well-trained surgeons in your area who will give you their best advice and recommendations after a thorough discussion and evaluation. This will be, in my opinion, the best way for you to make an informed decision.
Breast lift
The terms u you mention are not all ones in common use, so I suspect they all mean the same thing, which is a periareolar mastopexy, also called a Benelli or donut mastopexy.
Approaches to mastopexy
There are a number of different techniques available for mastopexy, and each has advantages and limitations. An in depth consultation with a plastic surgeon should provide you with the best options for you.
Breast lift surgery with areaolar incisions
Today there are many techniques available for a breast lift surgery using areolar incisions. If you need just a very small lift and do not need to change the shape or size of the areola, you may be a good candidate for a crescent lift. This will limit the amount of scarring around your areola. Keep in mind that this works well only for patients that require just a small lift of tissue. The majority of patients require a larger lift and so need an incision that goes all the way around the nipple. The only time we place an incision at the bottom edge of the nipple is for a breast augmentation not a breast lift.
Mastopexy procedures
There are many variations of mastopexy procedures from simple areola lifts especially with implants to variations of vertical reductions using "lollipop" incisions to more involved procedures using an "anchor" or an inverted "T" incision.

Developing shale oil may solve our energy crisis- Washington Examiner
by H. Sterling Burnett
July 29, 2009
Politicians lament the fact that the United States imports about 66 percent of its oil -- about 9,000 barrels every minute. Yet Congress has done little to remedy the situation. Instead, it has all too often erected barriers to domestic energy production.

A team by any other name
A team by any other name
When it comes to sports, I root for the teams from New York. I root harder for some teams than others, I'm a much bigger Yankees fan than I am a Mets fan, for example, but generally if you play for New York you're all right with me.
Because I have a family history in the city, I've also been partial to the teams that play for Cleveland. There hasn't been much to celebrate. The last championship was in 1964 (the Browns).
It didn't bother me when I was growing up, but over the years I've become increasingly ill at ease with Chief Wahoo as the Indians mascot. It's the cartoon caricature of an American Indian face. In 1994, when the Indians, the team, moved to Jacobs Field (now Progressive Field), President Bill Clinton threw out the first pitch. Instead of wearing a cap with the Chief Wahoo logo, which is what the team typically wore, he opted to wear an alternate one with the letter "C." I remember thinking, if the president of the United States doesn't want anything to do with Chief Wahoo, why should anyone else?
Controversy over the use of American Indian names in sports is not limited to Cleveland, obviously. The most recent high-profile situation concerns the Washington Redskins, with the owner of the franchise under pressure to change the name. How offensive it is appears to depend on who you talk to, but it's clearly unsettling.
What I know is that American Indians were all but wiped off the face of the world by the expansion of European settlement. They did not give up without a fight. The Comanche, who at one time controlled an area from somewhere near Dallas to New Mexico and Colorado, were arguably the greatest cavalry in military history. There's some irony here because the Comanches got their first horses from the Spanish, and from then the horse dramatically changed their culture. They used horses in battle, as opposed to using them to get to a battle.
I'm not aware of teams that use the Comanche, or the Apache, Iroquois or even Pequot, as mascots, but it wouldn't be much different from using Trojans or Spartans, in the sense of long-gone once-formidable entities.
In any case, controversy concerning American Indian names in sports is not limited to the professional level. At Wilcox Technical High School, in Meriden, a new gym floor replaced an Indian with a headdress with a logo of Indian feathers around the letters WT. An online revolt via a Facebook petition objecting to the change gathered nearly 1,000 signatures after two days. A student said he wanted to remain an Indian, as opposed to a dream catcher.
"... that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," said the Bard, via Juliet in that famous play. But it's clear many don't feel that way when it comes to changing team names, or mascots, whether it's in Cleveland, Washington or Meriden.

This is the 3V Trinket.
There are two versions of the Trinket. One is 3V and one is 5V. Both work the same, but have different operating logic voltages. Use the 3V one to interface with sensors and devices that need 3V logic, or when you want to power it off of a LiPo battery. The 3V version should only run at 8 MHz. Use the 5V one for sensors and components that can use or require 5V logic. The 5V version can run at 8 MHz or at 16MHz by setting the software-set clock frequency.
Even though you can program Trinket using the Arduino IDE, it's not a fully 100% Arduino-compatible. There are some things you trade off for such a small and low cost microcontroller!
Trinket does not have a Serial port connection for debugging so the serial port monitor will not be able to send/receive data.
Some computers' USB v3 ports don't recognize the Trinket's bootloader. Simply use a USB v2 port or a USB hub in between.
- ATtiny85 on-board, 8K of flash, 512 byte of SRAM, 512 bytes of EEPROM
- Internal oscillator runs at 8MHz, but can be doubled in software for 16MHz
- USB bootloader with a nice LED indicator looks just like a USBtinyISP so you can program it with AVRdude (with a simple config modification) and/or the Arduino IDE (with a few simple config modifications)
- Mini-USB jack for power and/or USB uploading, you can put it in a box or tape it up and use any USB cable for when you want to reprogram.
- About 5.25K bytes available for use (2.75K taken for the bootloader)
- Available in both 3V and 5V flavors
- On-board 3.3V or 5.0V power regulator with 150mA output capability and ultra-low dropout. Up to 16V input, reverse-polarity protection, thermal and current-limit protection.
- Power with either USB or external output (such as a battery) - it'll automatically switch over
- On-board green power LED and red pin #1 LED
- Reset button for entering the bootloader or restarting the program. No need to unplug/replug the board every time you want to reset or update!
- 5 GPIO - 2 shared with the USB interface. The 3 independent IO pins have 1 analog input and 2 PWM output as well. The 2 shared IO pins have 2 more analog inputs and one more PWM output.
- Hardware I2C / SPI capability for breakout & sensor interfacing.
- Works with many basic Arduino libraries including Adafruit Neopixel!
- Mounting holes
- Really really small

EU Parliament and the European Food Safety Agency to tighten up regulations on nanotechnology
15th April, 2009
Green campaigners have welcomed moves by the European Parliament to introduce new rules on nanomaterials in cosmetics.
In a vote in March, Strasbourg ruled that any cosmetic containing nanomaterials will have to list the ingredient on product packaging, followed by the word 'nano' in brackets. In their decision, MEPs stressed that 'safety concerns must be paramount'.
South East Green MEP Caroline Lucas welcomed the vote, describing it as 'a radical departure' from the previous EU position, which had seen existing legislation as sufficient.
Also in March, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) warned that current toxicological tests designed to decide whether nanomaterials should be included in food products or packaging may not be adequate 'to detect all aspects of potential toxicity'.
EFSA's Scientific Committee also pointed out that risk assessments conducted on individual nanomaterials are 'likely to be subject to a high degree of uncertainty', and called for more research on the toxicity of nanoparticles in the body.

My role is not to go and do that level of research Sridhar. If *you* take the time to write it, then I would assume you would support any questions that might come with it. Why would *you* expect *me* to do that. I volunteer my time here for the Studiopress themes and the code that comes with those themes. My role is not to volunteer to support code that *you* wrote and decided to share with others.
I never discouraged anyone from asking anything here - I stated that if you decide to use code from someone else, on their own website - you should contact that person *first* before posting here. *You* wrote the code and know it better than *we* do.
Again, I have *volunteered* my time to support Studiopress and their themes and some of the third party themes. I didn't volunteer to provide support for *your* code on *your* website.May 1, 2014 at 11:35 am in reply to: suggestions #103201
Well, there isn't any one place that provides reviews and ratings. I think Studiopress might have done that on purpose. It's hard to measure "what is good" for everyone. What I might consider to be an excellent theme and easy to work with, another person may think it's terrible and not user-friendly. A broad range of people purchase themes - noobie bloggers, people transitioning or migrating from blogger to WordPress, or from Thesis to Genesis Framework, new developers, intermediate developers, etc., etc. So given that - you would get a varying sample of reviews and ratings - that might make your decision even harder.
The third-party theme developers that are promoted through Studiopress - all of them provide support for their own themes on their websites. You can visit their websites and put in a support ticket or ask for customized service. I've been working with Studiopress themes and third party themes for over three years now. I only had an issue with 1 third party developer and they are not promoted on Studiopress.

Studiopress doesn't provide PSD files. Ambiance Pro isn't using any graphics that would require PSD's anyway.

Powerball Jackpot Over 400 Millions Dollars! Dream Time!
ICYMI–So no one matched all the Powerball numbers Saturday, which means the jackpot is over 400 million for Wednesday's drawing. Now that the price of a ticket has gone from one to two dollars the jackpots grow much faster, and that means bigger top prizes and more importantly, more hype.
Here's a story about the latest jackpot "Powerball: No big jackpot winner in Saturday draw"
"Lottery officials have announced on the Powerball website that no ticket has matched all Saturday's numbers drawn for that game's giant jackpot, which now swells to an estimated $400 million or a $223.6 million cash-option value."
So even after everything is all said and done, with taxes and what not, You still would get about 150 millions dollars. What would you do with it? Let me know here or on Facebook!

Christmas is quickly approaching and one organization wants to make sure every child gets a toy.
Volunteers with Toys For Tots auctioned off more than 100 items at the VFW on Putnam Avenue Sunday afternoon. A crowd of around 125 people enjoyed lunch and bidding on the items. Organizers say volunteers have put this event on for 10 years and every year they hope raise more.
"Last year we raised $20,000, so we are looking to top that this year and we have got some good bidders here and like I said, some wonderful items," says chairperson Marsha Harmon.
Items ranged from gift cards to a condo stay in Myrtle Beach. Toys For Tots is affiliated with the Marine Corp Reserve and works with different organizations in the community.
"What is great about this is that it is all free. We have a lot of great volunteers that work hard on this every year and so we are very proud to be a part of this and help the community in this way," tells Harmon.

Southpaw's Tugboat Egg Nog
(Makes 1 drink)
Note: Any simple syrup will work, but Southpaw's spiced mixture is explained in step 1.
1 oz. simple syrup
1½ oz. bourbon, whiskey or scotch
½ oz. spiced rum, such as Sailor Jerry
¾ oz. amaretto (or any nut, coffee or chocolate liquor)
1 egg
1 oz. whole milk
A coffee bean
Steps: To make Southpaw simple syrup, mix equal parts cane sugar and boiling water; stir until sugar dissolves. Add baking spices such as cinnamon, star anise, cloves, allspice and orange peel in small, equal proportions to the mixture. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let cool completely; strain out solids.
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, adjusting the amount of simple syrup to the sweetness of the spirits used. This recipe is built for a 100 proof whiskey and a drier spiced rum. If your spirits are sweeter, decrease the simple syrup to ¾ oz.
Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Take care to secure the shaker with both hands, as the mixture will want to escape as pressure builds.
Add ice and shake vigorously for another 10-15 seconds.
Double strain using a Hawthorne and a mesh strainer into a glass with a 9- to 10-oz. capacity. Grate coffee bean on top.
— Edward Calhoun, Southpaw

i discovered tonight that my gold and green severum wich i have had for 2 years now have had about 50 or so babies.....the green severum is heavily protecting the fry and he will not even let me get my face close to the tank without gettin angry and trying to protect them...they are in my 70 gallon tank along with a 5 inch blue acara....and 3 inch firemouth....a 2 inch ram....and a 4 inch parrot....what are the chances of survival if any and what am i supposed to do in this situation...i was also wondering if this will cause any harm to my fish with all the little fry now in the tank....they seem to be trying to eat the flak food i am giving my fish but im not sure if they are really eating it...the temp of the tank is at 80 and the green severum is very agressive all the time...the gold severum just seems to be swimming around the fry but is not very agressive at all...any response would be great i am new to baby fish...thanks

You need a stiff plastic divider.. I would get one ASAP..In a 70 gal you will need 2 for a 55 gal and place them together using the top and bottom bars to hold them tight in the middle..As for the fry, crushed flake food to a fine powder in a zip lock bag wil feed them. Take a pinch and swirl it in the water at the front of the tank so it will go to where they are, it will sink to them. You may have to do this fast as dad Severum may get your finger..Turn the lights off tonight and the fry wil go to the bottom and stay their until the light comes back on or your room lights up during the day. Your other fish will stay on the other side of the tank but you need the divider ASAP to save them..
It is more than a container with fish!!

Petsmart is where I got mine, they have the hard plastic ones. 75 gal is Ok for a good fit. On filters, U wil need another one for the other side. A smaller one would work.. Unless you get another tank, but that is stil going to need a filter and a heater..Turn your light off to calm everyone down..Free swimming fry usually drive mom and dad nuts trying to keep them in one spot..

Thanks, jsciv! So much fun!
Thanks, jsciv! So much fun!
I had to use some sharp elbows, but I retained a seat on the bus, only because Curtis was required by law to go back to the Bunny Ranch & give them back the drapes he used to make his jacket.
Thanks for keeping up with this & fair warning to all you contenders for a seat, my elbows are only going to get sharper...haha!
I can't believe I'm still on the bus after blowing my guesses this week. Thanks jsciv!
Count your blessings!
The bus is pulling out on the highway trying to keep the tour bus in sight. Song of the Week - Margaritaville - who has the salt?

Okay ... I am confused.
Am I correct in that according to this week's leaderboard ... guesses/scores from last week didn't count?
In other words shouldn't the 2 weeks be added together and we keep our Mulligan week in reserve for when we choose to use it?
Sorry to be a pain but I forgot some of how this works.
"The way to become boring is to say everything." Voltaire
" The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. "

"The way this works is that if you participate in more than 3 weeks over the life of the game, your lowest week's score will not count. If you miss a week, don't worry you're still in it." - so the way I understand it, mulligans don't kick in for a couple of weeks.
Count your blessings!
OK, that explains why I'm still on the bus. Thanks for clearing things up.
Count your blessings!
Maybe I asked the question wrong ... because obviously it didn't count in this week's score but ... I understand how the Mulligan works ... but are our scores from the first "live week" (which was predicting the top 10 out of 20) ... ever going to count ?Am I correct in that according to this week's leaderboard ... guesses/scores from last week didn't count? In other words shouldn't the 2 weeks be added together?
Or is it that the score from week one can/will replace a lower score later Are the scores from week 1 "in the bank" so to speak?
Sorry ... I know this is the first time with the Mulligan system
"The way to become boring is to say everything." Voltaire
" The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. "
Mohandas Gandhi
Your lowest week (whatever it is) won't count. So right now your score is whichever of the two is lowest doesn't count. After this week's results, whichever score is the lowest of the three won't count. And so on. So to answer the question I think you're answering, your week 1 score is indeed "in the bank."
It's perhaps confusing because of how I implemented it. I have a spreadsheet that will automatically pull out the lowest score from the grid for each player. When I put it together I realized that there was going to be one week where practically nobody's scores would move because the mulligan would kick in, which was going to look weird no matter when it happened. Rather than put that off, I just went ahead and let it happen this week. If someone doesn't make four weeks' worth of guesses I'll go manually reset their formula to take the mulligan off, but in the meantime we can look forward to the rest of the season without something wonky happening.
Does that help?

Dr. Vanda McMurtry has decided to step down from his position as Vice President for Government and Community Affairs as of January 31, 2008. Dr. McMurtry is joining Parven Pomper Schuyler Inc., a legislative consulting firm in Washington DC, as Senior Vice President.
As Penn's Vice President for Government and Community Affairs, Dr. McMurtry directed Penn's relationship with state, local and federal governments as well as non-governmental groups at the community and national levels.
"Van's achievements over the last two years have been widely recognized locally and nationally, said President Amy Gutmann. "The successful establishment and staffing of Penn's offices in Washington DC, and Harrisburg have cemented Penn's presence in our national and state capitols," she said.
"Van has worked vigorously to build greater support for increased federal funding for research and advocate on behalf of higher education issues generally. Locally, his work with Councilwoman Blackwell and other local leaders has made a significant impact. Under his leadership, Penn established the Lucien E. Blackwell Apprenticeship Program (Almanac September 4, 2007) to provide skills training opportunities to residents from West and Southwest Philadelphia," Dr. Gutmann added.
Dr. McMurtry assumed the position of Vice President for Government and Community Affairs at Penn in October, 2005 (Almanac September 6, 2005). Before coming to Penn, he served as vice president for government and community relations at Cornell University. Prior to that, he served for 12 years as senior vice president for federal government relations for Aetna Inc., and as staff director and chief counsel for the US Senate Committee on Finance.
A search for Dr. McMurtry's successor will begin immediately. Vice President and Chief of Staff Greg Rost, and Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli, will co-chair the search with support from Barbara Stevens of the executive search firm of Isaacson, Miller. Over the course of the coming months, Dr. McMurtry will work closely with Mr. Rost and Mr. Carnaroli to ensure a smooth transition.

Thinking about Injustice
A very familiar passage is found in Micah:
What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8 ESV)
Since I'm planning to participate in two upcoming synchroblogs that deal with justice, I've been thinking about justice and injustice. A conversation that I had last weekend triggered even more thoughts about injustice.
A friend of mine is a vegetarian. Every time the topic is brought up, she would say that she would love to explain why she is a vegetarian sometime, but the time never came up… until this weekend. She explained that she was a vegetarian because of her concerns about injustice – particularly, concerns about the treatment of animals. She made it clear that this was something that she wast struggling with herself, and she was not making a blanket statement that eating meat was bad. In fact, she said that once she had settled the issue in her mind, and once she was convinced that she was consciously thinking about the source of the meat, she would probably begin eating meat again. However, for now, she has decided not to eat meat so that she would not perpetuate any animal cruelty that may be involved.
Recently, I had a conversation with another friend who is very concerned about human trafficking. She is helping to start a student group on campus whose goal is to educate people about trafficking around the world. Again, I have been affected by her passion to reduce injustice.
I appreciate their concerns about injustice, which has helped me further my own thinking about injustice. We know that there is injustice in the world. And, we know that many times oppression, forced labor, child labor, etc. is used to produce many of the products that we use from day to day. To be honest, I am not ready to give up those products, but my friend's decision to give up meat has caused me to begin thinking through many buying decisions. I am beginning to recognize more and more that the products that I choose to buy or not buy may tend to perpetuate injustice or perhaps even encourage justice. Previously, most of my buying decision have been based on economics. I would buy the most economical product.
I was raised with the Republican-Christian mindset that economics and religion should be connected. Certainly, there is a grain of truth in that statement. My relationship with God will affect the way that I use money. However, my relationship with God is not necessarily connected to a positive or negative national economy, nor to my own accumulation of wealth. It seems that for many – and I would include myself in this group, though perhaps this is changing – the accumulation of personal and national wealth has become a spiritual gauge.
On the other hand, my relationship with God should definitely affect my relationship with other people and the way that I view people. God's love cannot coexist with the unjust treatment of people. Thus, as God expresses his love more and more through me, I should expect to become more and more concerned with justice and injustice. I wish that I could say that I currently "do justice" in all of my decisions and actions. But, I can't say that. However, I continue to see God moving my heart in that direction.

I'm glad you chose to cover this.
So often I get convicted about life choices that are not loving others, including the products I buy, and the people I ignore.
I pray that more people will consider the economic implications of the Gospel.
Being completely honest, I'm not at the point where my actions have changed much. However, my thoughts are certainly headed in that direction. Perhaps you can write something about "the economic implications of the Gospel"?
I think God's heart for righteousness and justice is seen so clearly in all the bible, yet we often don't talk about those things at all. And, yes, I think righting injustice is all about doing things like standing up against and stopping human trafficking, ending sex trades, ending racial and gender discrimination, etc.
Someone recently used Micah 6:8 as a justification for "doing right judgment," in terms of judging others as to the correctness of their beliefs and doctrine…. I'm curious as to your reaction to that. I apologize to ask a question slightly off topic, but I would like to flesh that out.
Good post, Alan. I have been thinking about this more and more these days and I am thinking that God may just be leading me to make a decision to completely shift my buying practices in order to not perpetuate injustice. It's hard to make such a shift, but I think totally worth it, especially in explaining to my children why we can't buy this or that.
I enjoy reading your blog
Wonderful post brother.
I want to encourage you today and hope that you have a blessed week brother. I pray that will pour all of his countless spiritual blessings on you, your family and every aspect of your life.
In Him,
Kinney Mabry
I apologize, but I have not had time to look into the defintion of that Hebrew word. However, I would say that even if the term does mean correcting others in the correctness of their belief, there are plenty of other passages of Scripture that deal with God's concern for the oppressed.
Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure how my thinking and purchasing is going to change. But, I'm trusting God to change me as he pleases.
Thanks for the kind words and prayer. We definitely need it!
This reading today reminded me of this post:
I have seen where people are writing about the Shift conference, but I have not been able to keep up with what's going on there. Thanks for this link. I'll make sure to read this report.

How Social Media Can Enhance Study Abroad
The following is a guest post from Mandy Reinig, director of international education at St. Mary's College of Maryland.
A debate was started recently about whether social media has hurt study abroad, in part prompted by a commentary in The Chronicle. While I agree that technology has changed the way we look at study abroad and the way students interact while overseas, I don't agree that it will lead to fewer cultural or transformative experiences for students while abroad.
Social media has changed the way students interact and the way we, as international-education professionals, interact with students before, during, and after their time abroad. What I don't think social media has done or will do is prevent those students who want a cultural experience from achieving it. As was mentioned in some of the comments following the commentary, there have been and always will be students who treat study abroad as more of a vacation and go abroad simply to travel rather than for the academic or cultural experiences.
However, there have always been and will continue to be students who go abroad for cultural and academic reasons and understand that they need to work to immerse themselves in another culture to really be able to understand it.
One important aspect that often goes unmentioned is how social media can be harnessed to assist students in integrating and understanding their host culture. This doesn't mean demonstrating to them how to use social media more but how to use it in more effective and appropriate ways. For example, social media can help students do research about their host countries and cultures prior to their departures. They can also connect with local students before they even get there to make the transition easier and to assist them in integrating.
Another means of using social media is to connect students who want to go abroad with students who are already overseas. For example, every month my office hosts an information session to talk to students about studying abroad and the process in general. We usually try to include students who have returned from study trips, but we have also used Google Hangout to include three students in three different countries. The students at St. Mary's were able to see and hear what their peers were actually doing abroad, which was much more effective than me telling them the same thing.
What's more, we use Facebook groups to help keep students connected to our college while in a foreign country as well as check in with them. One of the complaints students have had in the past is that they feel disconnected from the campus and forgotten as soon as they leave the country. They want to feel like they are still part of the college community even when they are thousands of miles away. Facebook, among other things, has allowed us to make that possible.
This is not to say that students don't need to disconnect from social media every once in a while. This is true for all students, not just those who study abroad. However, in my mind, it is up to us as educators to teach students the importance of stepping away from the computer, tablet, and smartphone and digging in. All my pre-departure orientations include a section on dealing with homesickness. My suggestion for this is always not to turn to Skype and social media but instead to step outside and go to a cafe or museum and experience the host culture. Most students give me weird looks when I say this but really understand what I mean when they experience homesickness during their study-abroad program, which almost all students go through at some point. I tell them this because being reminded of what they are missing rather than enjoying the new experiences they have the opportunity to have doesn't help with homesickness.
In the end, social media isn't going away. This means social-media pledges and other means of forcing students to limit their Internet use really won't change anything. Instead we, as educators and international-education professionals, need to find means of harnessing this technology to make it beneficial to the overall study-abroad experience as well as teaching students the importance of appropriate social media use and of integrating into the host culture and way of life.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – More than $134 million in piecemeal funding used to balance this year's budget has yet to arrive in the state treasury, with the end of the fiscal year only days away.
The dollars are largely supposed to come from hospital lease payments, property sales and hurricane recovery spending reimbursements, according to a tally from Treasurer John Kennedy's office.
The fiscal year ends Monday.Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has borrowed from other treasury funds to keep dollars flowing to college campuses while it waits for the outstanding money to arrive.
That borrowing must be repaid.Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols says she expects the dollars to come in and the budget to stay in balance. But Kennedy disagrees, saying the administration will have to use accounting tricks to stay on track.

Happy Birthday Kenny Chesney
I've always believed age is just a number on your birth certificate. It's all about how old you feel and act. And Kenny Chesney is a good example. He turns 43 today but still has the energy of a 23 year old.
He's back on the road with his "Goin' Coastal" tour after taking a year off. And if you've seen him in concert, you know he goes full throttle, feeding off the energy of his audience. If only we could bottle that and sell it.
Happy Birthday Kenny! What do you get a guy who already has everything he could ever want?

Housing subsidy scheme targets low-income families
About 30,000 low-income people who are inadequately housed are expected to benefit from a subsidy launched by the Community Care Fund on Monday.
The charitable trust has set aside HK$91 million to offer allowances under this scheme, which was announced earlier this year but started to receive applications only on Monday.
The trust's executive committee chairman, Law Chi-kwong, hopes to identify a specific group of low-income people – those who do not receive Comprehensive Social Security Assistance and do not live in public rental housing.
At present, he said, the government did not have figures on how many such people there were so it has been difficult to help them.
"After we identify how many of them there are in the city, we can then come up with other policies to help them," Law said.
People who wish to apply for this subsidy need to meet several criteria.
They must be living in cubicles, cocklofts, bed spaces in private buildings or temporary housing. Homeless people can also apply.
There is are limits on the average monthly household income the applicants can earn. The limits are HK$8,740, HK$13,410 and HK$17,060 for one-person households, two-person households and three-person households, respectively.
Their monthly rent cannot exceed HK$4,370, HK$6,705, and HK$8,530.
They cannot own any properties or be receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance.
Subsidies are HK$3,000 for one-person households, HK$6,000 for two-person households and HK$8,000 for three-person or more.
The application period will run until April 8 next year. Successful applicants will begin to receive the subsidy by the end of next month at the earliest.
The trust will reach the target group through 42 social service centres of 14 non-government organisations across the city.

North Shore Library News: May 30
Silver Bay Public Library news
Who let the dogs out … the cats, guinea pigs, mice, turtles and all the other two and four-legged animals? Rumor has it that they heard about the summer reading program —Paws for Reading— at the library and they want in on the action. Babies, kids and teens to age 18, we want you, too!
The summer reading program will start as soon as the library doors open at 10 a.m., on Monday morning, June 9. We'll be crafting, tracking, walking pets, raisin' the woof and waggin' our tales all through July. Make sure the library is part of your weekly summer schedule.
Two Harbors Public Library News
Paws to Read in Two Harbors!
Kids' summer reading program
Kids from preschool to sixth grade are invited to join Two Harbors Public Library's summer reading program. Starting June 2, stop by the library to sign up and get your welcome packet. For every hour of reading during the program, kids will receive an incentive prize and be entered for the Aug. 7 drawings. Throughout the summer there will be crafts, activities, and entertainers. In addition to the regular prizes, there will also be several grand prizes, including a Learning App Tablet, Lego Castle Dragon Mountain, Safari Tent, Sports Indoor Goal, and a Slip 'n Slide. Instead of an incentive prize, kids may choose to place a 25 cent "coin" in the library's fish bowl. These coins will be cashed in at the end of the summer by the Friends of the Library, who will contribute that amount toward helping the library get some pet fish. There will also be a Dairy Queen blizzard given to all who complete the reading goal of 12 hours.
Step aside, summer slide!
Numerous studies have shown that reading over the summer prevents the summer reading loss or "summer slide." Summer reading loss is cumulative, meaning that children don't catch-up in the fall because other children are moving ahead with their skills. By sixth grade, children who experience summer reading loss can be at least two years behind their classmates. Help your children avoid the summer slide. Enroll them in the library's summer reading program. If you have any questions, please contact the library at 834-3148.
There will be parallel Paws to Read programs for teens and adults. Share the titles of books you are reading and use the comments from others to get more ideas for summer reading. Each completed book slip becomes an entry for a prize drawing. The grand prize for adults is a gift certificate for Kamloops restaurant donated by Superior Shores; additional prizes have been provided by the Friends of the Library. There are a variety of prizes for teens, including a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble, paid for by the Friends of the Library.

Great product!

Comments about 1-Shot Brush Cleaner:
I use One Shot exclusively for pinstriping and sign painting. I'd originally thought this stuff was "snake oil" and thought nothing could be better than paint thinner. Well I was WRONG! Another striper turned me onto the stuff when I showed him a brush I thought was ruined. After a good soak it saved my favorite brush! Yes, there are degrees of toxicity here, but let's not kid ourselves. This is heavier than turps in that respect, but EVERYTHING paint related is hazardous. Use common sense and follow instructions!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love 1-Shot, hate the brush cleaner
By JG
from NH
I work almost exclusively with 1-Shot in fine art applications, so I am a big fan of Spraylat's products in general. But I'd recommend avoiding their brush cleaner. It's pretty toxic stuff with a very strong odor. I use simple mineral spirits for brush cleaning after painting with solvents like 1-Shot lettering enamel -- natural, non-toxic, cheaper, better and easier to find. Also, your brushes will dry much faster.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

TORONTO, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Tm Bioscience Corporation , a leader in the commercial genetic testing market, today announced it has signed a distribution agreement with a major diagnostics distributor to commercialize the ID-Tag(TM) Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) from Tm in Turkey.
"This is the first of a number of regional distribution agreements that we anticipate signing for our ID-Tag(TM) RVP, a unique test that has the potential to play a key role in managing the pandemic threat of Avian Flu in addition to its role as a tool to assist in the diagnosis of respiratory viruses in clinical settings," said Mr. Greg Hines, President and CEO of Tm Bioscience. "Turkey is on the front lines of the bird flu outbreak, suffering the first deaths from the disease outside of Southeast Asia and China. Our test will be marketed in one of the areas hardest hit so far, where we anticipate it will be used as a first line surveillance tool for suspected avian flu infections."
Tm anticipates the ID-Tag(TM) RVP will be launched in Turkey in the coming weeks. To further support marketing efforts outside of North America, Tm expects to obtain CE marking for this product in 2006."
The ID-Tag(TM) RVP is a comprehensive assay for the detection of various strains of viruses and subtypes, including H5 (Avian Flu). The Company expects that the ID-Tag(TM) RVP will address two key markets. First, it is expected to serve as a cornerstone diagnostic product in the clinical setting for the more efficient management and treatment of patients who may be infected by respiratory viruses. The product is also expected to play a key role in managing the potential pandemic threats posed by the Avian Flu and SARS, and the Company is actively promoting its adoption within the global public health community.
In January 2006, the Company made the ID-Tag(TM) RVP commercially available outside of the U.S. and for evaluation purposes within the U.S. To drive sales, Tm is establishing market presence by enabling key customers and thought leaders to gain experience with the test through an Early Access Program. The Company is also focused on gaining regulatory clearance for the test as an IVD and is undertaking validation studies to generate data for regulatory submissions in the first half of 2006. Tm's sales force will be directly marketing the product to hospital based laboratories in the U.S. and Canada. The Company is in discussion with additional distributors for selling the product outside of the U.S.
Tm Bioscience's product menu is focused in the fields of human genetic disorders, pharmacogenetics and infectious disease. The Company has commercialized Analyte Specific Reagents(x) and a series of Tag-It(TM) tests(xx) for a variety of genetic disorders. The Company's Tag-It(TM) Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Kit is the first multiplexed human disease genotyping test to be cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an in vitro device (IVD) for diagnostic use in the United States. It has also received the CE Mark, allowing the test to be marketed for diagnostic purposes in the European Union. All genetic tests from Tm Bioscience are based on the Tag-It(TM) Universal Array platform, which utilizes a proprietary universal tag system that allows for easy optimization, product development and expansion. Assays from Tm operate on the Luminex xMAP(R) system, a well-established bead based instrument. Combined, the Universal Array and Luminex instrument enable the rapid production of flexible, high-throughput, low-cost DNA-based tests.

WASHINGTON -- At age 12, half of American kids hold informal jobs like baby-sitting or yard work, and by age 15, nearly two-thirds are employed, according to a new Labor Department report.
''The American work ethic starts at an early age,'' said Labor Secretary Alexis Herman of the findings about young Americans' working habits, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.
The study found that a smaller percentage of the teen-age population held jobs in the late 1990s than two decades earlier, in the late 1970s, however.
During the period from 1977 to 1979, an average 30 percent of 15- to 17-year-olds held jobs during the school year and 43 percent did in the summer. By Comparison, from 1996 to 1998, an average of 25 percent in the same age group held jobs during the school year and 34 percent in the summer.
The BLS study combined findings from annual government surveys of American households with in depth interviews conducted in 1997 with 9,022 young men and women who were between the ages of 12 and 16 on Dec. 31, 1996. Findings were focused on kids 15 and younger.
The 1997 interviews revealed that about 50 percent of kids had worked in informal jobs at age 12. By age 14, the share of kids working rose to 57 percent.
About 43 percent of 14-year-olds were still doing only odd jobs like neighbors' yardwork or baby-sitting, while 24 percent had formal, ongoing employment and some did both kinds of work.
By age 15, 64 percent of teen-agers were working -- 38 percent in formal, ongoing employment arrangements, and 31 percent in formal jobs that included hours worked during the school year -- not just summer vacation.
The average weekly hours worked by employed 15- to 17-year olds were 23 in the summer and 17 during the school year.

|If you've done Glass Ocean already, jump on that and clip the 3rd bolt with a long runner then move left to join Northwest Passage. Another long runner on the bolt above the ledge makes for a long fun line that doesn't make you reclimb Glass Ocean (even though it feels about the same). The bottom feels way easy for .10d with great feet and a big hidden crimp for the roof.

Alchemy Goods
Upcycled Accessories
New Life for Old Tires
When his messenger bag was stolen, Eli started thinking about how to make a replacement. Working with a pile of extra inner tubes, he started sewing. Today, Eli's company, Alchemy Goods, transforms blown-out inner tubes, old seatbelts and advertising banners into new bags and accessories -- and he thanks the messenger bag thief for the creative inspiration.
Eli's Ballard belt is made from reclaimed bike tubes that stretch just enough to be comfortable but won't lose their shape. It comes with a removable steel buckle. For grooming essentials, the fully lined Elliot Toiletry Bag has a water-resistant exterior made from truck inner tubes and a zipper pull made from a tube valve.
All the materials are sorted, cut, cleaned and prepped in the company's Seattle workshop, and the bags are assembled at a local sewing shop. A tiny number on the logo shows the percentage of upcycled material used to make each product. In with the old, out with the new! Read More Read Less

Grommet Launch Conversation
We are thrilled and excited to have our products featured on The Grommet today! Rachel here from Alchemy Goods. We are Seattleites, cyclists, and passionate about the environment. We believe that beautiful, useful products don't have to be created from new materials- and don't have to be made overseas to be affordable. Since 2005, we have reclaimed almost 500,000 used bicycle tubes destined for a landfill and given the material a second life. All our goods are made in Seattle, WA and come with a lifetime guarantee. Every purchase made helps us continue the cycle of Reclaim, Remake, Reuse!
I've got one of your messenger bags... and I always get compliments how unique and stylish it is. One question - Where do you guys collect the inner tubes from? I have a ton of old bike tubes that I've always thought were of use, but never knew where to take them (I hate putting them in the trash). Can we donate them to you guys somehow?
@Jon I'm glad you like your Ag bag! We have a tube collection partnership with retailers all over the US. You can drop off old tubes at any store that sells Trek Bicycles, or at REI, or hundereds of local bike shops. For more info on how and where to recycle your old bicycle tubes, please see our upcycling page on our website: http://www.alchemygoods.com/upcycling.html thank you!!
@Rachel Very cool. Thanks Rachel. I really dig what you guys are doing.
How much does the toiletry bag weigh? It sounds perfect for travel but I want to stay as lightweight as possible.
@Ginger Great question! The toiletry bag weighs 10.8 oz. It's a comparable size/weight to traditional toiletry bags on the market.
Please consider making an xxl belt.
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

SANTA ANA – Three men hopped into a man's car after he dropped off his friend and forced him to drive them and buy them beer early Saturday morning, police said.
A man was dropping off his friend in the 300 block of South Shannon Street around 1 a.m., when three men jumped into his vehicle and demanded that he drive away, police Sgt. Richard Shin said.
"The victim believed suspects were armed and complied out of fear," Shin said.
Police said the men ordered the driver to go to a 7-Eleven, 103 South Harbor Boulevard, and then made him buy them beer.
The driver was ordered to continue driving when a police helicopter spotted the car and followed it, authorities said.
Shin said he believed the friend who the driver dropped off on South Shannon Street alerted officials to the carjacking.
The three men were arrested on suspicion of carjacking and kidnapping, police said.

Going into his senior season Huldon Tharp was being recruited by college programs all over the country. From Miami to Kansas to Stanford, Tharp was certain to have a lot of college coaches make their way to Mulvane to see the star linebacker.
Then everything changed.
In June before his senior year Tharp was attending the Pittsburgh State team football camp when he suffered an injury. At the time nobody knew what the extent was.
"I remember getting the phone call," said Chad Tharp, Huldon's father. "All I knew at the time is he was injured and we didn't know what it was."
The news came soon after a visit to the doctor that Tharp suffered a torn ACL and it would likely cause him to miss his senior year. Not only was it a blow to Tharp's high school career but a major concern to how college recruiters would handle the news.
"They actually thought it could have been torn before the camp," Chad said. "It was three-quarters torn and there wasn't any swelling of the tendons. Obviously one of biggest worries is what schools would do. It is scary as a parent to see kids go through something like this."
Tharp decided to tackle the injury head on and contact all of the schools recruiting him immediately. He wanted to make sure the recruiters knew what happened and be up front with them.
"I think that helped him with recruiting," Chad said. "I felt some of the coaches believed he did the honorable thing."
The week before the Jayhawks were set to kickoff the 2008 season Tharp decided he was ready to make his college decision. He called Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, Brandon Blaney, head coach Mark Mangino, and committed to the Jayhawks.
It was a long road to Lawrence for Tharp. The rehab and workouts were intense as he tried to recover. Chad remembers the days Tharp played X-Box in his basement with friends instead of the football field.
At this time last year Tharp couldn't imagine recording a personal best 10 tackles against Duke. His main focus was getting his knee back to playing shape to be ready for Kansas.
"I was hoping for that but quite honestly in all reality I didn't think so," Tharp said referring to playing as a true freshman. "But I feel pretty good now and I'm 100 percent."
Tharp impressed his teammates and coaches when he arrived at Kansas. Bill Miller, the linebackers coach told Jayhawk Slant during media day that Tharp might have been biggest surprise of fall camp. Cornerback Chris Harris remembers Tharp coming right into the program and displaying his ability to work hard.
"His work ethic is what has stood out to me," Harris said. "Ever since he got here he was up front in line in everything. In the early parts of conditioning he was always working hard. I heard some of our weight room coaches talk about how hard he works. I like his work ethic so far from what I've seen and that will take him a long way."
Patience was the key for Tharp. He was always ahead of schedule during his rehab but he wanted quicker results. He had an option of trying to come back for the last few games of his senior season but decided to wait for the future.
This season Tharp has 15 tackles and is part of a young linebacking crew that has played better each week. Once Tharp was back to full strength he adjusted well to the speed of playing division one football.
"The mental side of the game and learning the whole defense has been the toughest thing," he said. "In high school you have a few base calls and you can play every offense you face the same way. Up here there are different calls for certain plays and just so much more to learn."
It isn't often a high school senior suffers a major injury, recovers, and then finds success in their first year on the BCS level. Chad Tharp never counted his son out.
"He's a tough kid and he's never given up," Chad said.

Comparing .22's
I am looking into a Ruger 22/45 Target. Though I haven't done much research, I know ruger has been doing .22 pistols for a long time so I'm wondering if there are any equivalent guns that you guys want to recommend. I'm looking for around $350 but I might go up to $400 if needed
The Smith and Wesson .22s are a great starter pistol and priced well.
Or the Browning buckmark
Or just buy a Ruger you can't go wrong with one
Any of the major brands will do you well- Colt, S&W, Browning, or Ruger. Cost will likely favor Ruger. They started making the Standard Automatic about 52 years ago. Colt has been making the Woodsman since about 1938, Browning the Buckmark since 85. If you can find an older High Standard in good shape for a reasonable amount (they can be pricey) you would not be disappointed.
Had a Sig Mosquito. Would NOT recommend.
Had a Ruger 22/45 Would recommend. Sweet shooter. Take down's a bitch tho, couldn't take it anymore.
GS1911. Love this thing. Would definitely recommend.
Many people worry about the take-down on their guns. First you actually have to "take-down" your guns very seldom(maybe never). All the guns listed above come apart different but but all can be done by someone who can follow the directions in the owners manuals or on the 'net. Worry about something else.
I completely agree with hiwall. If your going to have a firearm that requires takedown, be ready to do some general maintenance. Practice makes perfect right ?
