"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
The members of St. Phillip's Episcopal Church believe year round in the spirit of giving, whether that means providing a meal to a homeless person or putting a shivering child in a jacket.
At this time of year a person gets used to traveling down certain roads and looking for Christmas lights. Some people consistently light up their homes or lawns with these beautiful displays. This year I have noticed that some such displays are missing – my guess is that it could be because of the economy.
When we stop to think of all the things God has given, it really is unbelievable. His generosity toward man is immeasurable.
Last week I asked you to take a Christmas quiz with me. I would not do that to you two weeks in a row. But I will ask you again, how much do you know about this season? And even more, how much do you need to know?
Evangelist Marie Butler of Jesup is not your typical preacher, but she has a wide audience.
I think about the love I have for my wife all the time, especially the feeling I have when I see her smile. The joy that comes over me when I am the source of that smile is overwhelming. Sometimes the hair on the back of my neck stands up when she walks into a room. It is easy to love someone this way, especially when you know that the love is reciprocal. I am sure there are some husbands who can identify with what I am saying.
How much do you know about Christmas? I would like for you to take a Christmas quiz with me today. Are you ready?
We all have ways of doing things. As human beings, created in the image of God and given the ability to make choices, sometimes we disagree. God gives us this license when it comes to earthly things.
The scripture tells us that "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
It is very easy during this time of the year to lose focus on what is important. With the pressure of society, family and friends, sometimes we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of wants, requests and desires that blur the vision that was so clearly mapped out for us just a few months earlier.
Christmas is almost here and people are gearing up for the holiday with a variety of festivities and activities.
At this time of year, we hear a lot about the things we should be thankful for, such as family, good health, financial resources and the things we need that they buy. It is important to give thanks for the blessings of life that we receive. But there is another question that needs to be answered: Who is the recipient of our thanks?
The God of creation did not just create man and leave him to his own devices. God speaks to man so man can know what God desires of him. The way God speaks to man has changed thorough the centuries of time.
Many years ago, my wife and I moved away to New Orleans to go to school. We were both in our early 20s, having been married only a year and a half. We were scared and excited, all at the same time. I imagine that our parents (both sets) were more frightened than excited.
Local judges and their staffs in Alabama weren't the only ones dealing with questions about marriage this week after the Supreme Court refused to enjoin the practice pending a ruling. Some clergy rushed to perform same-sex weddings, while others protested the granting of civil licenses for same-sex couples to wed.
In the beginning, religious leaders put little energy into biblical teachings about the environment. It was enough to know that God created an earth rich in resources and formed humans in his image to enjoy it.
The doctors called it "failure to thrive."
Is the word "propitiate" a part of your vocabulary?
Kids are pretty honest and upfront about their feelings. So who better to ask about the meaning of Valentine's Day?
We all have times in our lives when things don't go according to plan. We lose jobs, illness befalls us or family tragedies strike. But how many of us have dealt with a train wreck on live TV?
"American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper as a patriotic sniper serving in the Iraq War, is not "just a movie." It serves as a chilling reminder of the realities of war — a war that remains an afterthought for many Americans who weren't directly involved in the action — and the hurtful feelings many Americans still hold towards Islam.
In the national debate over immunizing children, much has been said about "religious objections" to vaccines claimed by parents. Finding a religion whose tenets object to the practice, however, is difficult.

I still have not made up the drawings for this plane yet, but will show you more of the fuse constuction. The first picture below shows the pink foam nose top and bottom pieces. The top one has a few slits in it to help it bend. The upper piece has a slight bend from front of windshield to nose. The bottom piece is a straight piece, but will be carved to a rounded shape toward the nose of the airplane.
You will need to get the top nose pieces rounded first befor you install the foam block for the windsceen! It is much easier to form the windshield after you have the contour right on the body of the plane. The next series of pictures show more of the foam in place and show how I started carving in the rounded shape.. Just take your time and try to make both sides match as best as you can. Remember, this is not a contest plane, so you are allowed to 'fudge' a little to get the shape you want. As you will recall, this was built with the LAR engineering method.. 'Looks About Right'!!

Here are some picutes of the mostly completed fuselage. First shows the battery compartment, next shows battery in place and third is the 1/8 inch depron battery hatch. The rear of the battery compartment will be in the front part of the wing also. The other pics are of this fuselage along with the prototype airplane.
It will be a few days (like next month!!) befor I have the materials to complete the wing and motor sections, so hope you dont get too discouraged in the mean time. Now to sit down and make the drawings for this thing.. I built it with just a few sketches on scrap paper and drawing the parts out on the foam and then cut it!!! Sorry, just a habit I have from most of my 'designs'..LOL If you have any questions, dont be afraid to give me a PM.. I will try and answer. Wayne ImagesView all Images in thread

No reviews yet. Be the first to write one!WRITE A REVIEW
In this blistering one-man show we invite you to join legendary hellraiser Oliver Reed. As Ollie knocks back a few drinks he shares his incredible life story. From the boyhood excitement of learning he was a descendant of Peter the Great, through the success of Oliver!, boozy adventures with Keith Moon and disastrous chat show appearances - this was a life well lived. But though Ollie may appear an unstoppable force of nature this is Malta in 1999 and time is fast running out for the 'Wild Thing'. Rob Crouch brings Reed back to vivid life in this swaggering, brilliant evening of entertainment.

Should my 4 year old be listening to books that a 2nd or 3rd grader can read?
Question: My daughter is 4.5. Her pre-K teacher claims that a child her age should understand books that a 2 or 3-grader can read themselves. She suggested Magic Tree House, which we tried but the vocabulary was to much for her. Also, the teacher suggested Juny B Jones, which is a great series, but has a lot of humor that is not appropriate for a 4.5 year-old, in my opinion (I mean, how is 4.5 year-old going to interpret "I hate school" -- literaly, right?).
Any thoughts from educators about this teacher's impression that a 4-old's should be listening to books that a child who is in 2nd or 3rd grade can read? Thanks.

I haven't been in game this weekend, but from reading the above posts seems we've had an issue with the fleet provisioning system.
I had hoped that you had all read the post I made back
#165 which had a link to info about that system.
I haven't read the fleet message that's been sent out yet, I will log in an hour or so from now, but I would like to think I'd always lead the fleet in a manner in which people could then once promoted also lead by example.
Fleet provision's are one item that is extremely difficult to acquire, and fleet credits can be difficult to acquire as well if others are online at the right time and have the resources to contribute, leaving other members struggling to gain enough credit to purchase items that they would like.
I'm not sure of the exact situation but we may need to try to limit some members contributions and have all members purchase no more than one item from the provisioned stores at any given time so that it's fair to others. It's a similar situation with the fleet bank, if a member donates a lot of a special item, such as DOff packs, then I wouldn't go in and take them all because that would be unfair to others so I would just take a small number leaving plenty for others to use.
I'm sure anyone upset will eventually come around, forgive and forget, but mistakes do happen and hopefully when they do we learn from them.

Let me just start by saying, whoever thought that taking a road trip when your 8 months pregnant… wait, no. I should really start by saying how sweet it was that my hubby took the time to plan a little family getaway after the holidays. In all honesty, it was an awesome idea; one I would normally love if I weren't 8 months pregnant with a God awful back problem. I knew this would be quite an adventure as it was, taking 2 toddlers and a psycho dog to the mountains. Now…

2010 Second Basemen Ranking
If Ian Kinsler could play 156 games he might be the best second baseman in baseball.
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- In the second of an eight-part series, we will look at the 2010 TSN Fantasy Rankings for second basemen.
Ten years ago, Jeff Kent, Roberto Alomar, Jose Vidro and Edgardo Alfonso led the position, but the bottom end was a bit on the weak side. Today's second base group are just as strong at the top and have more depth. To have Jose Lopez (69 runs, 25 HR, 96 RBI, .273) as the No.10-ranked second baseman is an indication of the great depth this year.
Because of the strength at the position, 2010 might be the right year to delay jumping on Chase Utley or Ian Kinsler and look to another position in the first and second rounds.
1) Chase Utley, PHI (ADP 4.4)
- Utley is certainly not the clear cut No.1 choice that Albert Pujols was at first base. Aaron Hill hit more home runs, Ian Kinsler stole more bases, Robinson Cano hit for a higher average and Ben Zobrist had a better OPS. But none of them has the combination and upside of Utley. He came off major hip surgery in the winter of 2009 and there was even some question as to whether he would be in the lineup on Opening Day. He's been working with a trainer on quickness and could improve on his 23-for-23 stolen base total.
2) Ian Kinsler, TEX (ADP 15.9)
- If Kinsler could just play 156 games like Utley did last year, he might be the best second baseman in baseball. Alas, he's never played more than 144 games in a season and averages 123 games per year. He posted 101 runs and career highs in HR (31), RBI (86) and SB (31) in 144 games last year.
3) Brandon Phillips, CIN (ADP 41.3)
- I'm not sure why Phillips doesn't get more respect on Draft Day, but he has mine. He's posted 20+ HR and 20+ steals in each of the past three seasons, while Dustin Pedroia, Brian Roberts and Ben Zobrist have never achieved the feat. He plays in a great hitter's ballpark and has protection behind him in the lineup.
4) Dustin Pedroia, BOS (ADP 28.9)
- Pedroia gets a lot of publicity in Boston, but he's not in the same tier as the top trio. Beware, the team is thinking of dropping him to No.5 in the lineup which could effect his runs total.
5) Brian Roberts, BAL (ADP 41.7)
- Roberts is another second-tier guy along with Pedroia, Cano and Hill. Of this group, Roberts will get you the most steals and battle Pedroia for runs scored. A little weaker on power than the other three in the bracket, he's got a top end of about 18 HR.
6) Robinson Cano, NYY (ADP 41.9)
- In the middle of a great New York Yankees offense, Cano will give you everything you want from a second baseman...except stolen bases. His .320 batting average was No.1 for all fantasy second basemen and he was third in OPS (.872).
7) Aaron Hill, TOR (44.1)
- Hill will be one of those guys which draws a debate on where to rank him. He emerged in 2009 as the best power hitter among second basemen (36 HR), but he's only done it for one season. Was that a career year, or did his game progress to a higher level? I'm leaning towards "career year" and I'm expecting about 25 HR this season. I also question whether the Blue Jays offense will be as good as last season with the loss of Marco Scutaro and Alex Rios.
8) Gordon Beckham, CWS (ADP 106.6)
- Beckham played third base last season, but the team acquired Mark Teahen from Kansas City and will make the 23-year- old Beckham their full-time second baseman. He had a solid rookie campaign batting .270 with 14 HR and 63 RBI. It appears he'll bat second in the White Sox lineup between Juan Pierre and Rios.
9) Ben Zobrist, TB (ADP 45.1)
- Zobrist used to be the Tampa Bay Rays' fourth outfielder, but shifted to second base last year. He apparently liked the move and the opportunity to get 500+ at-bats. He posted career highs in runs (91), HR (27), RBI (91), SB (17), batting average (.297) and OPS (.948). Though he kept his batting average consistent all season, his post All-Star break numbers showed a significant drop in power (17-to-10) and speed (11-to-6). I'm not sold that "2009 Ben Zobrist" will reappear in 2010.
10) Jose Lopez, SEA (ADP 112)
- Lopez put up solid numbers in a weak Seattle offense. Very few outside of the Mariners or his fantasy owners probably know he hit 25 HR and knocked in 96 runs (both career highs). With Ichiro Suzuki, newly acquired Chone Figgins, improving Franklin Gutierrez and Milton Bradley batting in front of Lopez, he could have even better numbers this year.
Just Missed
- Rickie Weeks, MIL (ADP 131.5), Dan Uggla, FLA (ADP 79.2), Orlando Hudson, MIN (ADP 240).

Power Arms Attract Attention At IPL Event
Ben Badler
February 5, 2013
Baseball America national writer Ben Badler traveled to the Dominican Republic to prepare for the July 2 opening day of the international signing period. Yesterday he wrote about his experience at a two-day showcase
hosted by Major League Baseball
. Today, he writes about his time at the International Prospect League all-star event.
GUERRA, Dominican Republic—The Latin American scouting landscape has changed significantly in the last five years.
Spending on international free agents has blown up. The Collective Bargaining Agreement that created international bonus pools beginning last year on July 2 helped Major League Baseball limit signing bonuses, but one of the biggest changes in the international market over the last few years has been the environment in which teams evaluate players.
Five years ago, there was no such thing as the International Prospect League, the Dominican Prospect League or any other prominent organized baseball system where trainers brought their players together to play games for scouts.
In general, teams had limited options to evaluate Latin American amateurs. One way was for teams to invite players to their academy, either for the day or to stay overnight for up to one month, to put them through drills, games or whatever process they felt was optimal to better gauge the player and his abilities.
Scouts could also venture out to the fields where trainers have their players practice—something some trainers say many teams don't do enough of—but with so many trainers at so many different fields across the Dominican Republic, many teams feel it's more efficient to bring players into their academy instead, especially when the top evaluators are in from the United States for a week at a time.
Those are still important evaluation methods, but the rise of leagues like the DPL, the IPL and others have changed the Dominican baseball landscape rapidly. The trainers who run the IPL were originally with the DPL when it opened in the fall of 2009, but they have since broken off into their own league. There's a bit of a rivalry between the two leagues and competition for the best players, but for scouts, it just means more opportunities to watch players play in games.
Today is Jan. 18, the first day of a two-day IPL all-star event at the Rays academy in Guerra. MLB finished its two-day showcase yesterday in San Cristobal, and there are at least 100 scouts here as the day is about to begin. It's early in the morning and one of the Dominican scouts is putting on sunscreen.
"Hey, I'm Sammy Sosa, baby!"
Physical Projections
The IPL all-star event follows the standard protocol for a Latin American tryout. Players run the 60-yard dash, the outfielders throw from right field, infielders take ground balls at either shortstop or third base, catchers throw to second base, followed by batting practice and a game.
Some scouts think the best player here is 16-year-old Eloy Jimenez, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound outfielder who trains with Amauris Nina, the same trainer who had Elier Hernandez when he scored a $3 million bonus from the Royals on July 2, 2011. Jimenez has plus speed, solid arm strength, a quick bat and the potential for above-average raw power from the right side of the plate. Given his body type, he's eventually going to slow down and will have to be a corner outfielder, but it's not hard to miss his tools in a tryout.
Another prospect who jumps out is the skinniest of the 34 position players here. Joan Mauricio is a 16-year-old shortstop out of San Pedro de Macoris who trains with Nelson Montes de Oca. He's 6-foot-1, 140 pounds with a high waist and a couple of toothpicks for legs.
The physical contrast between Mauricio and Jimenez is stark. Jimenez has 60 pounds on Mauricio and a major league body right now. Mauricio is wiry and physically immature. His thin lower half looks like a shortstop's frame, an important consideration for many of the shortstops on the island who are shortstops in name only.
When evaluating a 21-year-old college junior, body type matters, but it's lower down the list in terms of importance. In the Dominican Republic, where players are signed as young as 16, physical projection carries more value. Not only that, but the body types are more extreme, ranging from the bony, lanky players to those who look like the oldest 16-year-olds on the planet. If a player is truly 15 or 16, he might still grow a couple of inches.
"We're looking at the profile, who can stay at the position, who can stay at shortstop—projecting bodies," said an American League international director. "Who's going to get faster, who's going to get slower, who's going to stay the same and why? With a lot of that, there's no substitute for experience. Is (a player's body) going to thicken up? This guy has a great body, he's lean, he's going to put on weight, it's going to be good weight and he's going to hold his speed. This guy's weak, but he has a good running gait, there's a chance he could get faster. But you can't bank on a guy getting faster."
Mauricio wasn't at the MLB workout yesterday, but today he takes a good infield, showing some range on a ball to his right and aptitude on a slow roller, a play that seems to give a lot of shortstops trouble this week. He's a switch-hitter with barely any meat on his bones, but he's putting a surprising charge into the ball during BP, driving pitches to the warning track and lacing line drives from line to line, with power coming from bat speed rather than strength.
There's also a collegial atmosphere between the scouts and the dozens of trainers and agents, some of whom are former scouts. Ramon Genao, who everyone knows as "Papiro," is the trainer who had Starling Marte when he signed with the Pirates. He's chirping assorted words of colorful wisdom at his players during batting practice and cracking up the scouts.
Relationships are important in Latin America. Relationships among trainers are why a league like the IPL can exist in the first place. Even though they're often competing to recruit players into their programs, the trainers work together so a league like the IPL can benefit all of them.
A good relationship with a scout can help a trainer pull six-figures annually. Teams that have good relationships with trainers can get priority access to their players, especially during the busy spring season when July 2 prospects are in demand to be seen at different academies. Too often those relationships blur ethical lines, where a scout will get a kickback from a trainer in exchange for signing his players, but there are legitimate baseball benefits for teams and trainers to build strong ties.
'Older' Arms
When the games start, two pitchers stand out, although neither of them are 16. The first is 18-year-old lefthander Jacob Constante, who touched 94 mph with his lively fastball, showed a solid slider and
signed with the Reds
a few days after the game for $730,000.
Later in the game, Dominican righthander Jefferson Mejia comes in to pitch. I first heard about Mejia in July 2010 when he was 13—or, at least, supposed to be 13. He was 6-foot-7 then and is still that height, but his age is in question. Last year MLB declared him ineligible to sign for one year over an issue with his age. Mejia claimed to have been born on Aug. 2, 1996, which would have made him eligible to sign on his 16th birthday last year, until the problem with his age came up. The roster lists Mejia being being born Aug. 12, 1995, which would make him 17, but that's still in dispute.
What exactly happened isn't clear. Mejia trains with Edgar Mercedes and is from the northern part of the island, where birth records are notoriously difficult to verify. One source with knowledge of Mejia's case said the clinic where Mejia claims he was born no longer exists. Other details of Mejia's background vary depending on the source.
In fact, it's not even clear how Mejia is allowed to be pitching here. MLB declared Mejia ineligible to sign until April 4. When MLB suspends a player or declares him ineligible to sign for one year, the player is not allowed to enter a team's Dominican complex. An MLB official said the league was aware that Mejia participated in the IPL game and that no violations took place, but there is no explanation why it's not a violation if he's not allowed to be at a team's academy.
Regardless, Mejia has to be one of the biggest human beings on the island and his talent is clear. He was listed at 6-foot-7, 190 pounds at this time last year. Now the roster has him at 220, but he looks heavier with a thick lower half. Last year his fastball sat in the high-80s and scraped the low-90s. Today he's sitting at 91-93 mph and getting both lefties and righties to swing through a good-looking 77-79 mph changeup, with a solid 75-76 mph curveball as well. For a guy with Mejia's size, usually there are a lot of arms, legs, elbows and knees flying all over the place. His mechanics are fairly solid for someone with his length and he seems to have the athleticism to repeat his delivery.
Normally, players older than 16 have seen their market fall off once July 2 is in the rearview mirror. In Latin America, an 18-year-old who would be the equivalent of a high school senior in the United States is treated as old. A 21-year-old who would be the equivalent of a college junior is ancient, though some of that sentiment seems to be changing.
"To me, we as industry have it backwards," said a National League international director. "For me, we should pay less money for 16 (year olds) because it's a bigger risk."
Constante has come on relatively recently, so teams don't have much history with him. There's an adage in scouting that, if you see something once, it's in there. Regardless of how often a team has seen Constante, everyone in attendance saw him touch 94 mph regularly at the IPL all-star game. For some scouts, that's enough. For many—especially when the bonus demands start to climb—it's insufficient.
"You don't have all the information, you don't have all the history," said an American League international scout. "You don't see guys playing as much as you do (in the United States). There are so many pieces of information you don't have. You try to know as much as you can, but it's not simple. That's why at the end of the day, I imagine we make more mistakes than people do out of the draft. Even if you try to do all you can, you don't get to see those players as much as you should."
While Mejia's age is a question mark, the reality is that most of these players' ages are in question, regardless of whether MLB raises an issue with a particular player. Many scouts don't have confidence in MLB's investigations, especially after the league has had to get rid of personnel over allegations that they were taking bribes. The
Jairo Beras case
didn't do any favors for MLB's reputation either. When there are millions on the line, it's up to the teams to determine for themselves how old they think a player is, whether steroids might be involved and how much it matters to them.
"You see a 15-year-old kid throwing 93? Come on," said one international director. "Josh Beckett didn't throw 93 when he was 15. Is this guy superman? Maybe, but we'd better do our research. We'd better be diligent. You can't just sit there and go 'Ooh, aah' and write this glowing report and invest millions of dollars without doing the research. The most important question you keep asking is: Why? Why is he doing this? Why is he showing so much rare raw power for his age?"

- Park in a lay-by before the road plunges down into the town and look back at the grey of the asphalt weaving its way between green hillsides.
- From Ambleside, follow the B5385, which twists and turns its way to Coniston, then head back to Newcastle via the A595 and A69, stopping off at Birdoswald Roman Fort and the 2000 year-old village of Haltwhistle and along the way.
- It's a quick drive east along the A69 to drop-off your Avis hire car back in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

They plan to list on Nasdaq under OPGN
A survey showed that Americans are not doing enough
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
After the Federal Reserve said Wednesday that its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases will remain in place, U.S. equity markets soared to new record highs.
Using one of those nifty heat maps that are found various places online, investors would have seen a sea of green.
There were some red spots on those heat maps, too, and not just among inverse and volatility ETFs. Finding sector ETFs that slumped Wednesday was not a difficult task because they stuck out like sore thumbs. Wednesday's tales of woe for sector ETFs were easily spotted because they were the funds that had been highlighted as beneficiaries of a rising interest environment, something that should go by the wayside with tapering off the table.
Sector ETFs that have reacted poorly to the no tapering news include regional bank and insurance funds, two sub-industries that had rallied as 10-year Treasury yields surged almost 41 percent from May 22 through September 17.
Related: Big Week Looming For Insurance ETFs .
The SPDR S&P Insurance ETF (NYSE: KIE ) and the iShares U.S. Insurance ETF (NYSE: IAK ) are up 27.4 percent and 29.4 percent year-to-date, respectively. In a no tapering world, however, further upside for these ETFs could be limited, particularly if Treasury yields decline as expected.
Low interest rates pressure net interest income for insurance providers, so it was not surprising to see KIE and IAK soar as rates rose . Life insurance providers, many of which dot the rosters of ETFs like KIE and IAK, are prosaic businesses.
They take in cash from policyholders premiums, distribute what needs to be paid and invest the rest. Higher interest rates and bond yields would have made the companies more profitable for the simple reason that they would have earned more on their excess cash, as Barron's reports .
KIE is an equal-weight ETF so it is not excessively allocated to any single stock. In fact, Lincoln National (NYSE: LNC ) is the fund's largest holding with a weight of just 2.54 percent. However, property and casualty and life and health insurance providers combine for almost 62 percent of the ETF's weight.
IAK may be even more vulnerable as interest rates. That ETF, the smaller of the two mentioned here, allocates over 83 percent of its combined weight to property and casualty and life insurance providers. For example, MetLife (NYSE: MET ) and Prudential (NYSE: PRU ) are IAK's second- and third-largest holdings, combining for 16 percent of the ETF's weight. High-flying American International Group (NYSE: AIG ), which does provide life insurance, is IAK's largest holding at 12.5 percent.
All of those stocks are lower today with MetLife the worst offender with a 3.1 percent loss. Lincoln National, KIE's top holding, is plunging 4.2 percent. Torchmark (NYSE: TMK ), another KIE top-10 holding and a Warren Buffett favorite is lower by 0.7 percent.
Bottom line: Declining Treasury yields should benefit a plethora of sector ETFs, just not insurance funds.

1. Hire an auditorium full of strangers to clap for you for five minutes straight. If that doesn't boost your ego you need serious help.

3. Walk around the airport for a day in a pilot outfit and hang out in the bar area. Without a wedding ring of course.
4. Go cow tipping.
5. Use a foreign accent for the day! The more unique and uncomfortable the better!
6. Tell everyone your name is Sir Whatever. Knights are the new thing. Use the name at Starbucks!
7. Stalk and suddenly tackle a member of the Patriots football team. Belichick counts.

That is a good question and one that most people struggle with on a regular basis. Here are 5 essential steps to healthy nutrition:
1. Keep your colon clean-Cut down or eliminate meat and dairy, eat more fiber.
2. Eat more
whole foods and
alkaline foods and consume fewer simple carbs and acid forming foods. To learn what are alkaline foods, take the free
alkaline food test
3. Drink, drink, drink-Not just water, but
healthy drinks that make your water intake more beneficial. It is very important to eliminate sodas and junky sports drinks made with chemical isolates. Also, be careful with caffeine and alcohol.
4. Think about how to get more nutrition in fewer calories with
concentrated foods.
5. Eat frequent, small amounts rather than 3 big meals each day.

Kentucky's Creationist Museum, notwithstanding its stated goal of reaching out to those beyond the Young Earth Biblical creationist community, can make many nonbelievers uncomfortable, according to a study by Bernadette Barton of Morehead State University, as presented Sunday at the American Sociological Association meeting and reported by LiveScience. As she described, ex-fundamentalists, skeptics, gays and others in the groups that she brought on field trips to the museum reported feeling uncomfortable there, fearing that if their beliefs or orientations were revealed, they would be ejected or otherwise persecuted.
This pressure is a form of "compulsory Christianity" that is common in a region known for its fundamentalism, Barton said. People who don't ascribe to fundamentalism often report the need to hide their thoughts for fear of being judged or snubbed. At one point, Barton reported in her paper, a guard with a dog circled a student pointedly twice without saying anything. When he left, a museum patron approached the student and said, "The reason he did that is because of the way you're dressed. We know you're not religious; you just don't fit in." (The student was wearing leggings and a long shirt, Barton writes.)
The pressures were particularly tough for gay members of the group, thanks to exhibits discussing the sinfulness of homosexuality and same-sex marriage. A lesbian couple became paranoid about being near or touching one another, afraid they would be "found out," Barton writes.
I can sympathize with the discomfort of Barton's student group, because it is never pleasant to be surrounded by people (not to mention guards with dogs) who regard everything you represent to be deluded and sinful. Within the bounds of lawful civil liberties, of course, the Creationist Museum, as a private institution, has the right to convey whatever messages and attract whatever clientele it wishes. Most of us in the normal course of our lives would simply avoid places so hostile to us—if we have that choice. (Of course, many people in regions dominated by Christian fundamentalist culture don't have that choice.) The Creationist Museum may fail at outreach, but that's hardly a surprise, because no one who has been there could think it is sincerely meant to convert unbelievers: it exists solely to whip up the faith of the already Christian base.
I know this, and something of how uncomfortable the Creationist Museum can be, because I went there late in 2008. That Christmas, my wife and I were visiting her family in southeastern Indiana, and because the Creationist Museum was only an hour's drive away, some of us decided to made an expedition there.
The potential for trouble seemed real. I had argued against creationism on television and radio and had written a widely distributed article for Scientific American with the gentle title "15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense." Larry, my father-in-law, is not only an avowed and combative atheist but seems to have taken it as a personal goal to try to bring down the Catholic Church during his lifetime as one step toward the total elimination of all religion. On our drive there, I imagined various scenarios in which either or both of us could be drawn into some messy confrontation.

"Hydropolitics and Inter-Jurisdictional Relationships in China: The Pursuit of Localized Preferences in a Centralized System"
Journal Article, The China Quarterly, volume 218
By Scott Moore, Former Giorgio Ruffolo Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sustainability Science Program/Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, 20122014
Inter-jurisdictional water resource issues constitute a growing political and economic challenge in China. This article examines three such cases of hydropolitics, namely large dam construction, water resource allocation, and downstream water pollution, through the lens of centrallocal relations. It argues that the hydropolitics in China are characterized by the pursuit of localized preferences within the constraints imposed by a centralized political system.

"Could a Climate Change Deal Fit China's Economic Reform Agenda?"
Op-Ed, The Diplomat
By Joern Huenteler, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group
"An ambitious deal might also stimulate more demand for innovations in clean technologies, in which China is emerging as a global leader. But because of the UN's decision-making process, in which all its members have to agree on a new deal, Xi Jinping is in the powerful position of being able to commit to only as much emission reductions as fit his domestic policy agenda."

"International Support for Feed-in Tariffs in Developing CountriesA Review and Analysis of Proposed Mechanisms"
Journal Article, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, volume 39
By Joern Huenteler, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group
"Government support in the form of so-called feed-in tariff policies (FITs), which combine long-term, fixed-price electricity purchase agreements and guaranteed grid-access, has attracted large private-sector investments in sustainable electricity generation in the industrialized world. In an effort to replicate these experiences globally, a number of international organizations, NGOs, banks and donor countries are proposing mechanisms to cover part of the cost of FITs in developing countries. This paper reviews these proposals for supported FITs and then uses a case study of Thailand's Alternative Energy Development Plan 20132021 to investigate the opportunities and challenges of supporting FITs at a global scale."

"The Effect of Local and Global Learning on the Cost of Renewable Energy in Developing Countries"
Journal Article, Journal of Cleaner Production
By Joern Huenteler, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, Christian Niebuhr and Tobias S Schmidt
High upfront costs are a critical barrier for investments in clean infrastructure technologies in developing countries. This paper uses a case study of Thailand's electricity sector to create realistic estimates for the relative contributions of local and global technological learning to reducing these cost in the future and discusses implications of such learnings for international climate policy.

Leapfrogging or Stalling Out? Electric Vehicles in China
Discussion Paper
By Henry Lee, Director, Environment and Natural Resources Program, Sabrina Howell, PhD Student, Harvard Kennedy School and Adam Heal
China has ambitious goals for developing and deploying electric vehicles (EV). The stated intention is to leapfrog the auto industries of other countries and seize the emerging EV market. Since 2009, policies have included generous subsidies for consumers in certain locations, as well as strong pressure on local governments to purchase EVs. Yet four years into the program, progress has fallen far short of the intended targets. China has only about 40,000 EVs on the road, of which roughly 80% are public fleet vehicles such as buses and sanitation vehicles.

"Pollution Without Revolution"
Journal Article, Foreign Affairs
By Scott Moore, Former Giorgio Ruffolo Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Sustainability Science Program/Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, 20122014
"Given Beijing's new emphasis on the environment, an even bigger challenge will be addressing the global dimensions of its pollution, the effects of which don't stop at the water's edge. China is by far the largest source of air pollution among all Asian countries, including India, and Chinese emissions negatively affect air quality in a host of neighboring countries, particularly Japan. Chinese air pollution is even degrading air quality in the United States."

"China's Coal Addiction a Threat to Its Energy Security"
Op-Ed, The South China Morning Post
By Joern Huenteler, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group
"...[U]ntil now, Beijing's response to unmet energy demand has focused primarily on securing resources overseas, and building infrastructure for imports. China now generates more electricity from imported coal than from nuclear, wind and solar combined. Without a strong, coordinated policy shift, the country will depend on fuel imports for most of its energy consumption by the time it becomes a developed country."

The Globalization of Clean Energy Technology: Lessons from China
By Kelly Sims Gallagher, Member of the Board
The development and deployment of cleaner energy technologies have become globalized phenomena. Yet despite the fact that energy-related goods account for more than ten percent of international trade, policy makers, academics, and the business community perceive barriers to the global diffusion of these emerging technologies. Experts point to problems including intellectual property concerns, trade barriers, and developing countries' limited access to technology and funding. In this book, Kelly Gallagher uses analysis and case studies from China's solar photovoltaic, gas turbine, advanced battery, and coal gasification industries to examine both barriers and incentives in clean energy technology transfer.

Nothing, Below expectation.
The room was full of flies as big as small bird. my son was with me he even went across the street to use the bath room. If it wasn't 1:00 AM we would've went some where else.Shame on you Best Western to allow your franchise to have such facility.
Price and location
First we got assigned a room that was not clean, I had to go back to reception, second the new room smelled a lot to cigarette and non-smoking rooms were available
The staff did have an attitude that 'the guest are lucky to be there '! They were not helpful at ALL. The room had molds all over the bath tub was so dirty , the door scraches and mold on it , I took many pictures if someone to look at , but the rudeness
Quiet, breakfast had more than the usual. internet was good.
Room smelled musty when we first went in. Cleared up somewhat after ac was run for a while.
Great bed and shower pressure. Room lighting was adequate and the room and hotel were clean. The staff was knowledgeable about the area and friendly. I enjoyed my stay in room 210.
No microwave or refrigerator.
Air condition worked excellent;Very cold room. Room look newly remodeled and had two full size beds.
No fridge. Had to travel around a freeway loop. Not ready for check in at 3 pm had to wait 1 hour and a half.
Very clean, young lady at the desk was very helpful, she provided a map of the city and helped us find a restaurant. Breakfast was good and good selection. Overall a very good place to stay.
Very comfortable and convenient location.
I arrived early and they were able to take me in before check in time. They had my confirmation readily available. I just had to provide my name.
Chairs in the room were dirty. Filled with what appeared to be makeup. Thank goodness I didn't sit on it would have stained my pants. The phone cord was ripped and there was no way for me to make a call out. Seem like something from a horror movie.
Low price
Carpet had not been vacuumed. Shower stall had a lot of mildew and soap scum. Towels were very dingy.
Room was dirty, and I asked for non smoking, and the room reeked of smoke.I had a hard time sleeping there. I won't be staying there again.
nothing, it smelled so bad we didn't sleep there
Dirty and smelled terrible for a smoking room. Mold in shower. Half of electrical outlets didn't work. Iron was filthy. Definitely not a 2star facility.
Love the location and the pool, also the staff if very professional. sometimes it's like they are just watching you, but not here they mind their own business and treat you like a real guest!
Only that breakfast end a little early.
Good location, breakfast has diverse items. rooms were quite
Find 2 good size spiders in the room, which is 'ok' being in South TX, they may have to spray rooms more often
Clean, friendly staff
Coffee maker dirty, snack machines empty, drink machine empty of several options.
Convenient to activity planned. Rooms were clean and decorated well. Breakfast was nice.
Some of the staff at this hotel is very rude. We were not informed of the pet policy, and were confronted with demands and threats to pay an extraordinary high amount of money after the fact, when a simple explanation of policy would have sufficed
That is was in Bishop.
Was given a king size bed versus 2 beds. Don't understand when given the amount of 2 people, they assume it's man and wife. It was for my brother and I. I had to pay $15 upgrade for 2 beds.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.
