Because at 160,000 years, the party is just getting started.
April 13-19, 2014 is National Environmental Education Week, and throughout April, students, educators and others around the country are taking part in learning focused on how the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields, specifically engineering, can be used to solve some of today's biggest environmental problems, leading to sustainable solutions for a healthier planet and healthier people.
So, how is engineering helping to solve some of our biggest environmental challenges?
Biomimicry: Whale Fins and Wind Turbines
Many of the environmental problems that engineers are working to solve already have hints to solutions in the natural world. Using the complex sciences of fluid dynamics and biomechanics, researchers discovered that the bumps on the front edge of humpback whale fins (called tubercles) increase lift and reduce drag for maximum efficiency as the whales move through the water. Now, a company called WhalePower is applying this bumpy-edged design to wind turbines and fans to increase efficiency – researchers have found that adding tubercles to wind turbine blades increases efficiency by 20 percent.
Designing Green Buildings: Seattle's Bullitt Center
One of the significant challenges engineers are constantly working to improve is the sustainable use of resources. Seattle's Bullitt Center is one of the greenest commercial buildings in the world. The building is powered by 575 solar panels and uses extremely low-flow toilets and composting toilets reduce water waste. Greywater from sinks and showers is cleaned in a constructed wetland, where plants help to remove nutrients and pollutants – the clean water eventually recharges the aquifer below. Rainwater is collected on the roof and used throughout the building. These are just a few of the features that make the Bullitt Center an innovative space to learn about green building technology.
Capturing Carbon: Artificial Trees
Researchers are developing a device called an air extractor that removes carbon dioxide from the air. The device is playfully referred to as an "artificial tree." Sodium carbonate on the plastic "leaves" pulls carbon dioxide from the air and converts it to baking soda! The artificial "leaves" remove about one ton of carbon dioxide from the air per day. This new technology could be in large-scale use in 10-20 years.
You may not be able to install a wind turbine or an artificial tree on your property, but there are still ways you can put innovative engineering practices to use at home.
Build your own rain barrel. Use these instructions to construct a rain barrel that will capture rain water from your roof – you can use this water for gardening or washing cars and windows. (Be sure to check local regulations before installing a rain barrel, as some communities prohibit them.)
Build a rain garden. Much like the Bullitt Center's constructed wetland, rain gardens are shallow depressions with water-tolerant plants that capture rain water and filter out pollutants before they reach our rivers, streams and aquifers. These resources will help you create a rain garden that suits your property. There's even an app to help you get started!
Add efficient appliances to your home. Check out EPA's WaterSense program to find low-flow toilets, faucets, showerheads and other appliances that use innovative manufacturing to save water (and money) without compromising performance.

Sometimes life's disappointments teach the greatest lessons of hope, and that's exactly what happened at our homestead on a particular day in June 2007. It involves what's probably the oldest living thing on our property, a legendary apple tree we call the "Old Man Tree."
The fateful day was bright and clear until about 2 p.m., when sinister greenish-black clouds rolled in from the west. We don't get tornadoes up as far north as Manitoulin Island, Canada, but this wind might as well have been one. Century-old barns came down, roads remained blocked for days because of broken trees, and entire homes were damaged as windows gave way under pressure of the wind, letting driven rain soak everything.
The storm struck in less than a minute, and after getting my kids down into our limestone root cellar, I raced around outside battening down everything that might blow away. Just as I was running for the root cellar myself I noticed a young maple tree bent over double in the wind. Just that very morning I'd removed the support stakes from this 10-year-old tree, figuring that it was now strong enough to stand on its own. I spent the rest of the storm standing next to that tree, holding it up against the wind. It was perhaps the longest 15 minutes of my life. I still remember a robin's nest blown down next to my feet while I was holding the maple, the young ones never to survive the fall and the rain.
When things finally got quiet, I surveyed the damage and found that the Old Man Tree had suffered a seemingly fatal blow. The wind had split the trunk, and about 80 percent of it was now severed from the ground, with all but one measly branch still attached to the remaining wisp of a trunk. Our outhouse was ruined, shade trees were heavily damaged, my hay elevator had blown down and broken irreparably, and the door had blown off our chicken house. All this was bad enough, but losing the Old Man Tree was like losing family.
One of our old neighbours, a man named Ivan Bailey, was born in 1909 and had lived on the property his whole life, and even Ivan could remember picking apples from the Old Man Tree as a boy. As far as I could tell, it was a Maiden's Blush variety, and folklore had it that a traveling salesman offered these especially hardy trees to the settlers in our township in the 1880s and '90s. It's said that the legendary hardiness of the old Manitoulin apple trees came from being grafted onto wild ironwood root stock. I don't know if this is even horticulturally possible, but I do know that Manitoulin Island isn't exactly the tropics, yet these ancient apple trees thrive. They hardly have any pest damage even without spray, and they're vigorous enough that they've gone wild and now populate the edges of roads and fields wherever deer drop their seeds.
As valued a member of the homestead as the Old Man Tree was, it was history now. If only I'd pruned it more heavily, perhaps the trunk could have withstood the wind. Or maybe I should have braced the trunk with threaded rods, nuts and washers, as I'd done for other trees. All this went through my mind as I was cutting up the fallen branches, laden as they were with young apples. When all that remained was to nip off the bit of trunk still standing with its one, wispy branch, I stopped for a second. It was, I see now, a pivotal moment.
My urge to be tidy and wipe away all traces of the pain of the Old Man Tree's loss was strong, and it had control of the trigger finger on the throttle of the saw. But then, hope stepped in. Why kill what remains of this old icon of our homestead? Doesn't an apple tree that's borne fruit for more than 100 years deserve one last chance?
I cleaned up the downed branches and broken trunk, then let the Old Man Tree show me what it was made of. And what happened over the next few years is where the lesson of the Old Man Tree comes from.
That one wisp of a trunk with its one wisp of a branch grew and thrived like I've never seen any apple tree do before. Where the Old Man Tree always used to give medium-sized apples at best, now all the wisdom and power of a full root system made the fruit surge in size, twice as big as usual. The fruit was less in number, but much better in quality and sweetness. And that great old tree, seemingly destined for nothing more than the burning pile, still preserves its ember of life today, pumping out wonderful old-time apples. We've enjoyed countless homestead apple pies from that tree, and all the kids here know exactly how the Old Man Tree stands for much more than just the world's best organic apples.
The biggest blessing of the Old Man Tree isn't just fruit, but rather an idea. The thing I'll always remember about it is this: The old, the ugly, the much-less-than perfect things in this life can, and often do, deliver the things of greatest value. So often in life it's the stone that the builders reject that becomes the all-important cornerstone. We just need to have eyes to see, and the patience to let wisdom and age and experience have its way.

Growing some of one's own food, conserving and generating the home energy supply, being part of a thriving local economy, and other moves toward self-reliance are all important, laudable goals with, as far as I can see, no ill side effects. However, in North America and Europe, there is now a strong trend among progressive thinkers and activists toward dependence on localism as the means of reversing the global ecological crisis and achieving global economic justice. That's just not going to happen.
Recently, on Al Jazeera's opinion page, I attempted to make that case: that as important as it is to improve life locally, such efforts will not work their way up through the world's economy to solve our biggest problems. I argued that retreating into a romanticized vision of the local life means latching onto one of capitalism's symptoms — the eclipsing of local economies and governments by more powerful transnational forces — and treating it as if it's the disease itself.
I cited the 2012 book No Local: Why Small-Scale Alternatives Won't Change the World by Greg Sharzer, which goes into deep detail on the disconnect between local solutions and global problems. In it, Sharzer writes, "The problem with localism is not its anti-corporate politics, but that these politics don't go far enough. It sees the effects of unbridled competition but not the cause."
Efforts to localize have tackled issues such as promotion of hometown businesses, alternative currencies or barter systems, community-based energy generation, greener transportation, and most prominently, local food systems. The more highly visible, and shallower, forms of localism have concentrated on consumption without acknowledging that it's not in the checkout line but in the workplace that the great chasm opens up between families who live paycheck to paycheck and the more affluent, more powerful business owners who today control the fate of communities.
It's not that local owners are exceptionally greedy or heartless. As Sharzer shows, they simply have no choice but to play by the rules of the regional, national, and global market. Even the most well-intentioned local owners know that if they don't squeeze the greatest productivity out of the smallest payroll, there are plenty of other, more efficient businesses ready to take their place.
Even leaders of the localist movement acknowledge that so far it has had only a very limited sociopolitical reach. Australian Ted Trainer, a leading advocate of economic de-growth, observes, "At this stage, most of these [voluntary local movements] are only implementing reforms within consumer-capitalist society." (His view is supported by research on one such initiative, the Transition Town movement that originated in Britain and has spread worldwide.)
Less radical efforts have had even more limited impact; the more business-friendly localism advocate and Vanderbilt University sociology professor David Hess admits, "The 'buy local' movement is, at least at present, mostly an alliance of small businesspeople and middle-class shoppers. It is not a poor people's movement."
If movements to date have faltered in their efforts to resolve local problems, it is hard to imagine how they would address crises in the wider world. Some localists are counting on a mega-disaster—most likely, they say, in the form of oil depletion or runaway climate disruption—to deliver a mortal blow to global capitalism, at which point communities that have become more self-sufficient can show the way to the rest of the world, into a grim future.
A more hopeful vision comes from Greg Sharzer and others who urge local movements to stop avoiding political struggle and trying to create idealized communities; instead, they need to "confront global institutions of capitalist power in local spaces."
Needless to say, taking that course will be anything but easy. But it's our only way out, and at least it has a lot more appeal than hunkering down and waiting for global catastrophe to hit.
A cold winter and late-season snow storms in some parts of the country could mean that spring allergy season is especially rough this year. Some trees pollinate in the late winter and early spring, but cold temperatures can delay the timing of flowering and pollen release. That means that the pollen from these trees will be released around the same time that other trees and grasses release pollen later in the spring, resulting in a pollen "explosion" of sorts.
Earth Gauge Viewer Tip: So what's an allergy sufferer to do? Limiting your exposure to pollen can help manage allergy symptoms.
Watch the weather. Weather and environmental conditions can affect the severity of your allergy symptoms. Pollen moves around less when conditions are rainy, cloudy and still, so your allergy symptoms may be better on these days. Pollen travels more readily on hot, dry and windy days, which can increase allergy symptoms. Exposure to outdoor air pollution like ozone can also increase sensitivity to allergens.
Button up. Keep windows at home and in the car closed to keep pollen from drifting into your living space.
Dry clothes indoors. Avoid hanging clothes outside to dry, where they can collect pollen.
Spend time outside after 10:00 a.m. Pollens are usually emitted in the early morning hours, from 5:00 to 10:00 a.m.
Garden carefully. Mowing and raking can stir up pollen and mold.

Nested amongst the skyscrapers and tucked between white-powdery beaches and either the buzz of South Beach or nature preserves in Hollywood are some eco-minded hotels and restaurants offering patrons a taste of local and sustainable cuisine.
This is the final blog in a series that covers some of the highlights of my family's ecotravel adventures in and around Miami or Fort Lauderdale. My first two posts covered some of the nature-based activities possible both in the ocean and on land.
If being in the middle of the historic Art Deco district of Miami Beach, a mere minutes' walk from the sweeping beaches and the internationally-inspired cornucopia of restaurants, then the eco-chic Z Ocean Hotel has a luxurious guest room for you. With its soothing blue lights and modernist design, plus balconies overlooking either the pool, hopping Ocean Drive or popular Espanola Way, it's hard to go wrong here.
Their pool features several underwater windows that send flickers of sunlight down to the lower floor and, from the lower floor looking up, a fascinating view of the swimmers above. The boutique hotel's friendly staff are quick to point out places of interest. When prompted, they'll confirm that the garbage is sorted and recycled off site -- a true feat (if you're a regular to Florida, you'll how hard it can be to recycle a can or bottle in this state). Use of LEDs and florescent lighting and a host of energy efficiency and water conservation practices take place throughout the property. I admit I wished it sported a PV array or solar thermal system on the roof, too – just to drive the point home.
Z Ocean's spacious rooms, rare in South Beach, are a value for their price. Plus it's easy to lose the car and walk and bike everywhere. By avoiding a car, you'll save the $35 you'd have to spend on valet. No bikes, no problem. There are over 1,000 DecoBikes available for rent at 85 locations around town; pay with credit card, unlock a bike and pedal away.
Further up the coast, wedged in a side street of Hollywood's North Beach is The Desoto Inn, a small eco-minded gem that offers tidy little one bedroom, studio and efficiency units that allow you to prepare your own meals, perhaps with organic ingredients from herbs you can harvest in the lush subtropical gardens right on site, or from Brother's Farmers Market, also in Hollywood.
Tucked in a short street between the beach and the Intercoastal Waterway with a nature preserve on three sides, this restored 1950s hotel provides complimentary bikes, making a rental car a waste, both of money and fuel. Their tiki huts surrounded by gardens overflowing with native plants provide the perfect refuge after a bike ride, ocean swim or baking in the sun.
Overlooking a tropical garden and small bamboo forest, Essensia Restaurant and Lounge located in the award-winning Palms Hotel and Spa in Miami fulfills its sustainability promise of delivering delicious and creative farm-to-table cuisine, "inspired by nature."
Essensia's Signature Chef Julie Frans tends and harvests fresh herbs, salad greens and other vegetables from her restaurant's small organic garden on site to be used in her spectacularly creative and tasty appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and, even, their cocktails. For the rest of the produce, Chef Frans sources it from local farmers; poultry, meats and seafood come from sustainable or environmentally-certified suppliers.
As a part of the eco-experience at The Palms Hotel and Spa, weekly edible garden tours led by Chef Frans introduce guests to some of the ingredients that will find their way onto the plate during dinner that evening. Accredited by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Green Lodging Program, the hotel features numerous energy and water conservation initiatives as well as Aveda products used for the Spa and in-room toiletries.
To get a taste of South Beach, we savored Argentinean empanadas and Spanish croissants filled with dulce de leche while we walked and talked, weaving through the Art Deco District on Miami Culinary Tours' guided South Beach Tour. We sat down for samples of Cuban vaca frita at Polo Norte Restaurant and Floribbean ceviche at the Columbian fusion restaurant, Bolivar. What a way to get a taste of place.
Our hands down favorite, though, was the hole-in-the-wall Blocks Pizza Deli where business partners Richard Collins and Eugenio Vittoni serve up their pizza by the slice (always fresh baked, never re-heated), calzones and vegetarian Blocks Pockets prepared with locally-sourced, seasonal, organic ingredients. Their 300-year-old recipe using their "mother dough" makes you wonder why you'd ever settle for another slice of pizza any other way. Don't forget to leave without adding a splash of their infused extra-virgin olive oils to your slice or pocket.

Although spring is here, it's still pretty cold out there in many parts of the country. In a recent Bird Files segment on my public radio program, The Allegheny Front, Margaret Brittingham, an professor of Wildlife Resources with Penn State University, writes that Blacked-capped chickadees work extra hard to stay warm. At less than half an ounce, they're one of the smallest birds to survive in northern areas during the winter.
These tiny birds are frequent visitors to backyard feeders. They dine on seeds, berries and occasionally fat from animal carcasses. It's no wonder - it takes a lot of body fat to keep warm. Dr. Brittingham says that on cold nights, chickadees drop their body temperature to conserve on fuel.
"This is like you turning down the thermostat in your house at night...they lose about 10 percent of their body weight each night . If you were on the "chickadee diet," you'd go to bed weighing 130 pounds and wake up at a slim 117," Brittingham writes.
She explains that in the morning, chickadees get back to feeding. By the end of the day, they are bulging with fat to help them make it through another night.
Chickadees are communicators. According to Brittingham, the number of "dees" in the chick-a-dee-dee call is an indication of danger.
"A predator that is not much of a threat might get a chick-a-dee-dee while a call of chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, would be a major threat. In the spring, the "Hey sweetie" song of the male chickadee establishes his territory and invites a female to share it with him," Brittingham writes.
Her advice: "If you want to invite chickadees into your yard, trees, shrubs, and fallen logs, will provide food and nest sites. Evergreens provide winter cover."

The gdmchooser program provides XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol) functionality to the GNOME Display Manager. This protocol allows a user to interact remote systems via the local X11 display.
Local exploitation of a format string vulnerability in GNOME Foundation's GNOME Display Manager host chooser window (gdmchooser) could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
The vulnerability specifically exists in the handling of values entered when choosing a remote host to connect to from the current system. The following snippet from gdmchooser.c shows the vulnerable code:
1395 msg = g_strdup_printf (_("Cannot find the host "%s". " 1396 "Perhaps you have mistyped it."), 1397 name); 1398 1399 dialog = ve_hig_dialog_new 1400 (GTK_WINDOW (chooser) /* parent */, 1401 GTK_DIALOG_MODAL /* flags */, 1402 GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR, 1403 GTK_BUTTONS_OK, 1404 _("Cannot find host"), 1405 msg); 1406 1407 g_free (msg); 1408
The error dialog uses the temporary value 'msg', constructed from 'name' when the host is not found. By supplying a sequence of formatting operations which modify memory values, an unauthenticated attacker can execute code with the permissions under the gdm account.
Successful local exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the gdm service.
In order to exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have access to the system running gdmchooser. Connecting remotely to this service will not work as the functionality is designed to connect to a remote server already, and proxying is not allowed.
The attacker selects the option to run the gdmchooser, and then types the format string into the dialog box. They could construct a format string which displays the contents of the stack or writes controlled values to arbitrary memory locations. This allows execution of code with the privileges of the gdmchooser, typically the user 'gdm'. Although this user does not have a high privilege level, once this account has been gained, it would be relatively simple to insert a logger into gdm processes to capture other users passwords.
The gdmchooser is not accessible from the default login screens in any of the tested Red Hat systems, however the preferences utility does contain some preset screens which do contain it.
This vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in the gdm-2.14.1-1 RPM from Red Hat Fedora Core 5. The vulnerability was introduced into the gdmchooser.c file in version 1.78 of gdm2/gui/gdmchooser.c in the GNOME CVS source code repository.
If XDMCP functionality is not required, setting the permissions on the gdmchooser to not allow execution will prevent any attempts at exploitation.
The GNOME maintainers have addressed this problem by releasing versions 2.14.11, 2.16.4, and 2.17.4 of the GNOME Display Manager.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2006-6105 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems.

First off stefan and elena should end up together. The man pushed her away all of season three. Ya you tend to get close to the ones who save you repeatedly. So in her defense she started falling for Damon. I am Stelena forever. I think we need to put them in a super dangerous position and bring them back together in a super, romantic and dramatic way. Damon is not for her. He's hilarious but the whole point of the vampire diaries is their undying love. I love Stefan. He's my favorite character. So please stop hating on him. Thank you! Xoxo Stefan. Paul Wesley is an incredible actor!

"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation..." Isaiah 28:16
Loose-leaf services are defined in Black's Law Dictionary as "A type of lawbook having pages that are periodically replaced with updated pages, designed to cope with constant change and increasing bulk" (at 954, 7th ed. 1999). These sources provide timely updates to specific areas of law and often span jurisdictions.
Typically created in the form of ring or post binders, loose-leafs can be taken apart to insert and/or remove pages. In general, there are two types of services:
Pages containing updated information are inserted where superseded pages are removed. Updated information is provided as supplemental unit; the accumulated units serve as the body of the title and are indexed.
There are some services, however, that combine versions of the two types to serve the user to better advantage.
While there are many publishers of loose-leaf services, the following are commonly found in U.S legal research:
Instructions - Sometimes labeled as "How to Use This Service," these instructions serve as an introduction to not only the organization of the service but also to the scope of its content. Although users often gloss over this to get to the information needed, the instructions provide valuable insights that should not be overlooked.
Indexes and Tables - These are finding aids that may appear in tabbed sections of the service (most often at the back) or in separate volumes.
Topical Index - a detailed list of subject headings and subheadings
Finding Lists - often a quick reference for tables, charts, and summaries of major regulations/legislation with citations to more detailed information within the service
Tables -very helpful when your research starts with a specific case name or a statutory section
Cases - listing of cases cited, sometimes provide parallel citation
Rules, Regulations, Orders, Statutes - a cross-reference listing of major primary sources by section with citations within the service
Current or Supplementary Indexes - rather than republishing lengthy cumulative indexes throughout the year, some services maintain an index supplement (often printed on another color paper) or separate "current index" which may be compiled annually in the master index.
Due to the periodic changes and additions to a loose-leaf service, pages may not appear in standard numerical order; therefore, services often refer to paragraph (¶) or section (§) numbers for consistency.
Some services provide the full text of important legal and regulatory documents at state and federal levels
This section will have varying titles, depending on the publisher (Highlights, Bulletin, Report Letter, etc.). The purpose is to provide up-to-date information on new issues, decisions, and developments. Depending on the type of service, this update may contain summaries of materials added (interfiled service) or more complete coverage and notices (newsletter service).
Depending on the set, loose-leafs can be updated at different intervals. To determine how current a loose-leaf set is, consult the filing instructions (in the front of the volume/set or the back, depending on the publisher) that indicate when the service was last updated. Sometimes current development news summaries appear with these instructions.
Periodically cases and other material are removed from loose-leaf sets to be maintained separately. Some services simply insert the same pages into "transfer binders" that have their own indexes; others reprint the loose-leaf pages into bound volumes resembling case reporters that contain their own index and digest.
If you are not sure if your area of research has a loose-leaf service, contact a Research Librarian to assist you in using Legal Loose-leafs in Print's subject index. Once you find a specific title, search our online catalog to see if the title is available here.

I cant get it to work!, maybe someone can give me a hand..
It crashes to the springboard, after the "Loading" screen.
I created the folder "Documents", with 777 permissions.
Gave 777 to Sketches and 775 to Sketches.App, no luck.
The first time i installed it, it did work (without the Documents folder), i made some draws, it kinda like didnt properly save it since the drawing wasnt displayed in the thumbnail with the clips, then i closed sketches and after that, i have this issue.
I remember in 1.1.4 there was a way to launch from the command like the app, but i can find it in here, so maybe i could see if it gives an error or something, im out of ideas
Sorry if this post dont go here.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Feb. 19, 2014 – Former James Madison men's soccer standout Paul Wyatt has signed a professional contract with the Oklahoma City Energy, an expansion team in the USL Pro league.
Wyatt, a four-time All-Colonial Athletic Association selection during his four seasons at JMU (2009-12), finished his prolific collegiate career with 28 goals and 11 assists in 73 games with the Dukes. He ranks 12th in goals on the program's all-time list, while his 67 points rank 17th.
He was named to the NSCAA All-America second team following his junior season. He helped lead JMU to a 13-5-2 record and an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament. The Dukes shut out Wake Forest in the opening round, before falling to fifth-ranked Connecticut in the quarterfinals. The Dukes were ranked as high as 12th during the regular season.
Wyatt also took part in one of the biggest wins in program history. He registered a shot on goal in JMU's 1-0 win over top-ranked and defending NCAA champion North Carolina in front of 1,531 fans at University Park. JMU went on to beat Hofstra in the next game, setting a school record with its 15th-straight win at home.
"We are really happy for Paul and proud of him, as well," said Tom Martin, the head coach at James Madison for the past 28 years. "He is very deserving and worked extremely hard for this opportunity. We wish him the very best."
Oklahoma City has announced a one-year agreement as an affiliate of Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer. A former JMU teammate of Wyatt's, C.J. Sapong, is entering his fourth season with Sporting KC. He was named the MLS Rookie of the Year in 2011 and helped the team win the 2013 MLS Cup.
The Energy will make their debut on the road against the Los Angeles Blues on April 5. The team's home opener at Pribil Stadium is April 26 against defending USL Pro champion Orlando City SC.

Is your church environment conducive for nurturing men? Here are some things men are desperately searching for in their church experience.
There are many elements to effective discipleship. Steve Murrell, one of the founding pastors of Victory Manila in the Philippines, explores them.
Statistics show that 34 percent of American children live apart from their fathers, and half of all children will be fatherless at some point during childhood.
I grew up without a father figure, but at a young age God took me under His wing. By His power, I escaped many negative effects of fatherlessness but still bore some scars. I never heard, "That's good, son. Nice catch. Nice throw. Nice anything."
God created us in His image to be His children. In the garden, Adam and Eve enjoyed intimate fellowship with their Father and lived under His care. Then the deceiver enticed them. The children bought the lie and forfeited the relationship. They were suddenly afraid of their Father and foolishly tried to cover their shame with mere fig leaves. This was the first futile attempt on the part of fallen man to deal with the sinful, adverse effect of being deceived by the father of lies.
God the Father immediately put a plan in motion to restore mankind to intimate fellowship with Himself. He set out to establish a family of faith through whom He could bless the nations of the world. These chosen children of God would reveal the heavenly Father to fallen humanity.
A strategy for turning men into a driving force behind your church's mission
Most pastors dream of having a strong and vibrant men's community that drives the mission and vision of their local churches. But this dream rarely becomes a reality because most churches have no compelling vision for men that is articulated, visible and connected to a meaningful process in the church context.
So it's no surprise that men remain affiliated versus activated in the local church. This sad reality is on the church, not on the men. Men like clear targets they can hit—but the church hasn't painted the target!
On the flip side, it is possible to have strong vision, a defined process that helps men see the vision, and solid outcomes that make men stakeholders in the ongoing success of the church's mission. Men long for that kind of significance!
Every Man Ministries and Kenny Luck have created a pair of Sleeping Giant programs to activate vibrant men's ministry. Centered around supporting the vision of the local church, the Sleeping Giant Total Solution uses state-of-the-art technology via the definitive EveryManMinistries.com website to offer continuous strategy, video sessions, networking and engagement for churches of all sizes and denominations.
Every Man Ministries, founded by best-selling author and Men's expert Kenny Luck, developed the Sleeping Giant model after over a decade of research and work with ministries across the globe. Now, this proven method of moving men from the Crowd to the Core is available to all churches, ministries and small groups with the launch of two separate web-based programs: Sleeping Giant Core and Sleeping Giant Flex.
Sleeping Giant Core is a one-year program filled with strategy, content and coaching designed to help pastors move men from simply being a part of the crowd into the core leadership that revolutionizes the health of their church and community for years to come. Developed and tested inside churches of all denominations and sizes, the Sleeping Giant Core offers churches a plan to launch, cultivate, sustain and renew their men's community to engage with the vision of the pastor, without increasing the salary budget.
For years, Kenny Luck has witnessed Men's Ministry in local churches leaving men unengaged and unfulfilled. The best-selling author's heart is to see that trend cease.
Luck, an ECPA platinum award-winning author of the God's Man and Every Man Series and pastor of Men at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, has launched the definitive website for Christian men in conjunction with the Sleeping Giant Total Solution, a proven Men's Ministry model.
EverymanMinistries.com has ignited a grassroots movement from within that equips the local church to use modern technology to create a spiritual phenomenon: Strong men of God who will look to impact their families and the culture around them.

Wed. Thurs Fri. Sat. 1 to 4
all other days INCLUDING Sun. by appointment
Great store with great service. Has loads of cash box rentals & trimmed the box I chose in my wedding colors! All kinds of goodies. My shwer initations were only 35 cents each, made just for me. NOTE: Open only 4 days but has appointments anytime including sundays.
Unique little shop – You can get favor supplies, or she will make them for you at a very small price. Prints her own line of invitations for 30 or 35 cents each with envelopes! For any event, even communion. Her kids birthday invites are really cute.
Lots of rentals, including cash boxes, extremely nice and priced very low. Personal service and very accommodating. No dresses but almost everything else.
Fast and reliable – Great prices and quick. The name says Bridal, but they do graduation, first communion, baby showers... she even does her own invitations personalized just for you. I highly recomend to anyone needing something for any upcoming event.
Personalized Service – Great little store. Owner took great care and spent time with me making sureI was pleased with the services she offered and my purchases. She never high pressured me in to making any quick descisions with my rentals. She even suggested that if I was unsure to look around and come back as she felt she had the best prices and she did! The store has just about everything you could want except dresses and shoes. Check it out. you will be pleasantly surprised.
wonderful bridal shop! – This bridal shop has a great reputation which is very well-deserved. The owner of this shop (Betty) really goes above and beyond to make planning a wedding as stress-free as possible. She has great instincts and obviously loves what she does. We were especially delighted with the flower bouquets she made for the bride and the bridal party -- we got so many compliments on them and they looked gorgeous in the wedding pictures.
If you're planning a wedding, start here first.
Great Service; lots of customized wedding accessories at reasonable prices! – We are from Canada and visited Betty's Bridal Boutique yesterday. We got great service. She customized the pillow for the ring bearer for us with same day service for a great price in comparison to a bunch of other boutiques we went to. She sells accessories, favors, decorations, pretty much everything but dresses.
Note that she is not open on Sunday or Tuesdays.
BETTY'S BRIDAL BOUTIQUE – Really a great store with personal service. The owner has wonderful ideas. She sold me the necessary favor parts to make the favors and showed me how to make them so the favor looked professionally done.There is a good selection of favors and favor parts, rentals and bridal accessories. She gave me a discount on engraved gifts and my veil because of previous purchases. I also had her decorate my glasses, knife set and pen at such a reasonable price. She was recommended to me by 2 other brides. I'm so glad I took their advise!
It's a small place but large in personal service and modest prices.
Beautiful Wedding supplies – When my son was getting married I went to Betty's Bridal Boutique.We were looking for favors, napkins
thank you notes etc. There was such a large selection to pick from it took a while to decide.My Son and Daughter-in-law were very pleased with the choices available. We also got the two piece set for cutting the cake and the cake top, I would highly recommend buying things from Betty's. They are of high quality and well done. We didn't have to go anywhere else. We found everything in one place.
Greater Selection than most and Excellent Seervice – They have a good selection of rentals and engraved gifts (great for bridal attendants).. The favors for weddings, showers, birthday parties, graduations, etc. are lower than any I have seen. altho' you can also buy things there to make your own favors. The owner/manager takes great pride in her customer service, whether it is the engraved invitations, matching colors to suit your needs and finding sources for items that I have not seen elsewhere.

I get compliments every time I wear this color! And it looks amazing on every skin tone. It's just the right amount of red and orange that it's still perfect for winter. Highly recommend!!
I love the intensity of this color and the semi-matte finish. It's a really clean tomato red with zero shimmer. So great against medium, pale, or olive skin tones.
I really love the color of this lipstick.. its perfect with my olive skin! I wear this shade quite frequently, but wish it was a bit more matte.. it smears a bit to easily for me in this bright shade.
A nice and smooth lipstick. Long lasting. The red-orange color was more orange and very very bright. Looked obnoxious on my fair skin.
The red is to orangey for my skin tone slightly. I have vaguely yellow undertones and this makes me look a bit garish.
ok, the summary says that this flatters all skin tones. not so much. I looked like the joker in batman movies. it was THAT bad. also, this stick smells odd. it's sort of sweet and all around a little suffocating. I wouldn't buy this again.
As a non lipstick wearer I took a chance on this one. Being a fair skinned red head with freckles, I have never found a red lipstick that worked for me with out leaving a stain on my lips. Although I was a bit put off by the orange color when it arrived, after applying and letting it set for about 15 minutes, it was a great color on my skin tone. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and long lasting ability of this product. I was expecting it to be a bit more 'hot red' than orange. But overall was pleasantly surprised.
This is the most perfect, long wearing, not sticky, not chalky lipstick!! The color is to die for. Lately it seems like everyone is going for the orangey reds and this one really works with you! I love it and want every color.

Oxford is still exploding with new stores and restaurants. The beautiful mountains in the background, especially the silhouette of Mount Cheaha, reminds me of the Smokies. A ride on the almost-completed Veterans Memorial Parkway surrounded by an extraordinary landscape is a thrill.
The new botanical gardens at the Anniston Museum of Natural History are a good way to spend some quality off-time. Maybe we could see an ice-skating rink in the future. That would be the icing on the cake.
The weather in the Midwest and other states has been an arctic misery, and still is. Our weather here has been acceptable and has the right kind of mix, at least in the winter.
My wish for the new year is less violence and more life and peace all around. I also hope that the unemployment benefits will be reinstated in 2014 for people who depend on them. Our government needs to make cuts in other areas on things that are not as important. I also hope that a wage increase comes through in the new year. No more government shutdowns, please.
By the way, I feel pretty lucky to be an Anniston resident.

Triplet state
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (December 2010)
A spin triplet is a set of three quantum states of a system, each with total spin S = 1 (in units of ). The system could consist of a single elementary massive spin 1 particle such as a W or Z boson, or be some multiparticle state with total spin angular momentum of one.
In physics, spin is the angular momentum intrinsic to a body, as opposed to orbital angular momentum, which is the motion of its center of mass about an external point. In quantum mechanics, spin is particularly important for systems at atomic length scales, such as individual atoms, protons, or electrons. Such particles and the spins of quantum mechanical systems ("particle spin") possess several unusual or non-classical features, and for such systems, spin angular momentum cannot be associated with rotation but instead refers only to the presence of angular momentum.
Almost all molecules encountered in daily life exist in a singlet state, but molecular oxygen is an exception. At room temperature, O2 exists in a triplet state, which would require the forbidden transition into a singlet state before a chemical reaction could commence, which makes it kinetically nonreactive despite being thermodynamically a strong oxidant. Photochemical or thermal activation can bring it into singlet state, which is strongly oxidizing also kinetically.
Two spin-1/2 particles
In a system with two spin-1/2 particles - for example the proton and electron in the ground state of hydrogen, measured on a given axis, each particle can be either spin up or spin down so the system has four basis states in all
using the single particle spins to label the basis states, where the first and second arrow in each combination indicate the spin direction of the first and second particle respectively.
More rigorously
and since for spin-1/2 particles, the basis states span a 2-dimensional space, the basis states span a 4-dimensional space.
Now the total spin and its projection onto the previously defined axis can be computed using the rules for adding angular momentum in quantum mechanics using the Clebsch–Gordan coefficients. In general
substituting in the four basis states
returns the possible values for total spin given along with their representation in the basis. There are three states with total spin angular momentum 1
and a fourth with total spin angular momentum 0.
The result is that a combination of two spin-1/2 particles can carry a total spin of 1 or 0, depending on whether they occupy a triplet or singlet state.
