Heh, this is so sexy. Seriously, it's one of the best models I've seen in a long time.
After the climatic end to Matto3, Jack Carver is back and out for revenge against the man who shot him. Matto4, the next mod in the series by the Mattomedia team, picks up where Matto3 left off in an all new action adventure. Taking full advantage of the powerful Cryengine, Matto4 includes: A feel good, fast-paced and gripping storyline. New characters brought to life with fresh voice acting and custom animations. New weapons: Walther P99, Benelli M3, Steyr Aug, H+K mp7's and a few extra surprises. Fun game play ideas such as the shootable fire extinguishers which blind AI and launching gasbottles like rockets! Detailed and atmospheric level design which takes you from swamps to high tech labs, sunny beaches to thunder storms, underground sewers and old mines. Typical Matto humor in the form of hidden content, cheesy dialog and gimmicks. Mattos world deviates from FarCry's in that Jack Carver is an agent for the CIA working on location, undercover. With some help from his friends...
Heh, this is so sexy. Seriously, it's one of the best models I've seen in a long time.

Tadpole Adaptive necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 30 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Tadpole Adaptive
Tadpole Adaptive is an online retailer specializing in mobility equipment for children with special needs. We specialize in selling wheelchairs, standers, walkers, sitters, car seats etc. We are a new startup and are preparing to enter the marketplace with our online store launch very soon.
We are going to have 2 entities we'll be focusing on: Our store, focusing on the equipment and all the information related to those products, and our social media (blog, facebook, and youtube) acting as a resource for parents and therapists to connect, share, and get information on products, what's new, and what's out there.
Some of our suppliers we'll be selling on the store:
Parents of children with special needs.
We want children with disabilities and their families to feel comfortable with our brand. The store will be selling items geared towards children with special needs including walkers, special needs strollers, Standing Devices, Specialty Bath Equipment, etc.
Examples of these items can be found at Rifton.com, snugseat.com, leckey.com.
These items are frequently not paid for by insurance and parents will be purchasing these items to benefit their children. The items can be very expensive at times. These items help children participate more fully in school, family activities, go to the store, see a movie, etc. We want parents to understand what this equipment can do to improve the
lives of their children. Most importantly, parents must effortlessly navigate our site to configure this equipment.
We will be selling products for kids with disabilities but the target is their parents, in paticular "Facebook Moms" these mothers are combing the internet looking for information for their kids, we want to act as a discount provider of these goods (cash only, no insurance headaches) a place to get in touch with a therapist, and use our social media to connect to other moms and kids.
Most important goals of this design:
Have a unique look and feel for the store that set our image as fresh and fun but as a serious place for parents to find the best in adaptive equipment for their children. Your design will be integrated into a BigCommerce template. Here is a basic template that we are basing our redesign from: http://ameliaco.mybigcommerce.com/index.php
Set ourselves apart from our competition:
http://www.adaptivemall.com (they are #1 and the gold-standard in the industry and their site is a mess)
http://www.especialneeds.com (better looking, layed out well, but not "fun" and engaging, a bit too "medical")
Design focus:
Splash page that gets across what we do, a very good example of this is: http://www.getyubo.com/ (this is a BigCommerce store and is an excellent example of a template redesign)
We really like these 2 pages that use elements like textures and drop shadows well: http://www.projectvino.com.au
(I also like the use of scripted fonts like "it's free" that add a personal touch to draw attention to something, and finally, the tab that moves to where you have navigated to is very professional)
This is possibly a bit too much but we like the layered, textured, look.
Please see included files and PDF for more examples and ideas.
Thank you designers for making our vision possible and good luck! Feel free to ask questions!

Dominate any off-road landscape and fear no terrain. RZR® Turbos set the benchmark for off-road supremacy, and are extensively engineered to deliver an optimally balanced chassis and the ultimate combination of turbocharged fury, suspension and agility.
For those who believe that there's never enough, the 168HP Polaris ProStar® Turbo H.O. engine takes extreme performance to a entirely new level. The ProStar® Turbo H.O. is the most powerful RZR® engine available from the factory for unequaled power, torque, durability and off-road excitement. The new engine is built for performance and durability with forged pistons, a 270 degree firing order crankshaft, high strength connecting rods, closed deck cylinder and sodium filled exhaust valves. To control the massive power delivered by the ProStar® Turbo H.O., the engine management system has also been updated with improved knock detection and boost control as well as high flow fuel injectors and new cam shafts. All of these systems allow the engine to deliver maximum power under all conditions.
With an incredible 95% of torque available from 5,000 to 8,000 RPM, the RZR® XP Turbo delivers remarkable performance right out of the gate and continues delivering up to a massive 114 ft-lbs of peak torque! This grunt matched with the extremely long power band makes it ideal for all types of riding, including rock crawling, trails, desert, and dunes.
To harness all that power and deliver it to the ground, the RZR® XP Turbo EPS features a driveline engineered for durability, efficiency, and ease of operation. The ultra-efficient driveline features a high performance Polaris Variable Transmission (PVT) with an all-new thicker, stronger drive belt to be sure HP turns into reliable performance. The driveline also features stronger rear half shafts to deliver power to the rear wheels as well as a stronger High Performance True On-Demand All-Wheel Drive to reliably deliver power to the front. And this driveline isn't only durable and efficient, the fully automatic PVT efficiently delivers optimum power in all conditions and provides an ease of operation that suits riders of all types.
The RZR XP® Turbo features a completely upgraded cooling system for reliable performance in even extreme temperatures. The cooling upgrades include a 20% larger engine radiator for more cooling capacity and a huge front grill that's 40% larger to increase air flow to the radiators at any vehicle speed. Behind the new radiator is a new, more powerful variable speed brushless fan that not only pulls 25% more air through the system, but it pulls it through earlier to keep the vehicle running cooler while only operating as needed for a quieter ride. And larger, dual sided rear intakes paired with an improved clutch cover design pumps air more efficiently to the new belt, keeping the belt up to 30 degrees cooler and keeping you riding in the even the harshest environments.
With more performance packed into a side-by-side than ever before, the RZR XP® Turbo demanded a more advanced suspension system, even beyond the RZR XP® 1000's near bottomless ride. The RZR XP® Turbo shares the trophy truck inspired suspension traits proven legendary by the RZR XP® 1000. But the RZR XP® Turbo takes it to a whole new level with industry's premium FOX Podium Internal Bypass shocks. With 5 compression zones, its like having 5 unique shock set-ups packed into 1 to adapt to any terrain at any speed without compromise. When you get behind the wheel of a RZR XP® Turbo, you get the best of all worlds with a bottomless feel no matter how you ride.
The race-inspired 3-link trailing arm rear suspension serves up an incredible 18-inches of rear wheel travel and features all-new rear radius rods which are not only stronger, but also lighter. Match that to an astounding 16-inches of front suspension travel, the king of the RZR® family conquers the worst terrain Mother Nature has to offer. And with 24 position clickers, the already precisely tuned suspension can be adjusted even further to any riding condition and ensure the RZR XP® Turbo can tackle the toughest terrain while keeping the ride plush and enjoyable. The legendary suspension system also features large coil-over springs; the progressive rate upper spring is a lighter-weight spring that absorbs small impacts while the stiffer main spring maintains ground clearance and absorbs bigger impacts in rough terrain.
The RZR XP® Turbo EPS is the best handling RZR® ever, delivering ultimate control in every condition. Combined with the FOX PODIUM Internal Bypass Shock technology, the RZR XP® Turbo features a front stabilizer bar and retuned rear stabilizer bar to nearly eliminate body roll and dipping around corners to dramatically improve handling and control.
The RZR XP Turbo is built upon a 90-inch wheelbase and 13.5-inches of ground clearance. The chassis and suspension combo smoothes the harshest terrain without unwanted chassis pitch; and delivers unmatched control and comfort without sacrificing agility. Giving you our legendary razor sharp handling even in the most challenging terrain.
A ultra responsive 1.5 turn steering rack gives you race-inspired control with the quickest steering performance ever in a RZR®. The system is paired with standard Electronic Power Steering to provide unmatched point-and-shoot handling making the vehicle very responsive to the driver.
High Performance True On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive system provides the ultimate in responsiveness to the terrain. The system features a stronger close ratio final drive to keep the front wheels pulling stronger and longer maximizing power delivery to the ground.
Every RZR is specifically engineered to provide the driver and passenger with the most exhilarating, comfortable ride on the market. From the patented design that places the engine behind the seat to the placement of the occupants towards the middle of the vehicle, RZR's design provides a low center of gravity for unparalleled handling and ground-hugging performance.
For better driver positioning, the RZR XP® Turbo features a rider centric seat angle for a more comfortable driving experience. The angle situates the driver closer to the steering wheel bringing the elbows closer to the body for less arm fatigue and a more natural driving position.
The cockpit of the RZR XP® Turbo offers the most comfort and convenience of any RZR®. A digital gauge is easy to see and a new 4 position key with an accessory position efficiently uses battery power when you're hanging out with friends at your favorite spot, listening to your audio or powering your lights. A High Performance steering wheel with 10" tilt adjustability and center storage box with cell-phone holder place everything within reach, including the glovebox with a quick turn latch. Driver and passenger footrests, adjustable seat belt, and adjustable seat sliders allows you to fine tune your seating position and Dryseat technology resists moisture, while LED interior lighting adds a touch of style. Removable floor drains allow you to washout debris and mud quickly and easily.

London 2012: Olympic motto revealed as 100-day countdown begins
The motto for the London Olympics has been revealed as "Inspire a generation" as events are held to mark the 100-day countdown to the opening ceremony.
London 2012 chairman Seb Coe was at the unveiling of a giant set of Olympic rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, at Kew Gardens in west London.
He said: "Expectations are high and we won't disappoint."
Organisers also said the Red Arrows will perform flypasts across the UK to mark the opening ceremony on 27 July.
The world-famous RAF aerobatic display team will fly in Big Battle formation across Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London to herald the Games, Locog said.
'Inspire the world'
Announcing the motto, Lord Coe said: "It is everything we have been saying since we have started this extraordinary journey.
"It is the heartbeat, the very DNA of this organisation and a rallying cry for the athletes to come to the UK to perform at their very best and inspire the world."
He said it was vital organisers put athletes at the centre of the preparations and pledged: "We are going to deliver a fabulous Games for this country and the 200 other nations who'll be welcomed here."
International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge said he was confident London would meet the expectations of the world.
He said: "Around the world, the excitement is growing and expectations are high but I am confident that Britain and London will deliver a great sporting event and a warm welcome too."
Heaping praise on London's preparations Australia's leading IOC member said he expected London 2012 would surpass Sydney as the best Olympics ever staged.
He said: "The quality of the preparation, the commitment and the professionalism has been outstanding - they are the dream team.
"What makes it different is this is really a truly British Games and that the integration of the national, regional and city operations has put the whole country behind this and given it a huge impetus."
Good value
And triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt has said he wanted to "amaze" the world at the Games by running 9.4 seconds in the 100m and 19 seconds in the 200m.
Meanwhile, a BBC Radio 5Live poll found 64% of 2,007 people thought taxpayers had paid too much to cover the Games' costs.
However, 55% said it would prove good value in terms of benefits to the UK.
Some £9.3bn in UK public funding has been set aside to cover the cost of the Games. Many Londoners have been paying an extra £20 contribution in their council tax.
The current budget is almost four times the estimated cost of staging the Games at the time of the bid in 2005.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt told the BBC: "I think the time to ask people if it's good value for money is after we've had the Olympics and they can see it's been good for the country."
Mr Hunt added: "The economy is on people's minds at the moment and we have yet to see the business benefit."
He also announced there would be 22 "live sites" around the country where people would be able to celebrate Olympic action.
There will be seating for people to gather around big screens to watch BBC One's coverage of the best of the action every day of the Olympic Games.
The sites will host entertainment and "have a go" sporting sessions and Olympic and Paralympic athletes and VIPs will make appearances at some locations.
The unveiling of the floral rings at Kew, which can be seen from the Heathrow flightpath, was one of a number of events being held to mark 100 days until the opening ceremony.
Staff took five days to plant up to 20,000 pansies, violas and apple mint which make up the rings spanning 50m (164ft).
Lord Coe also planted an oak tree at the gardens, one of 40 celebrating the UK's role in the birth of the modern Olympics.
They were grown from acorns collected from a tree planted in Much Wenlock in 1890 in honour of Baron Pierre de Coubertin - considered the founder of the modern Olympic Games.
Schoolchildren helped build a giant sandcastle on Weymouth beach to mark the day but it has since been demolished.
And on London's Horse Guards Parade, 260 members of the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots and Welsh Guards formed the number 100 in recognition of the day.
Later on Wednesday, cast members from London's West End shows took part in a "Welcome the World" performance in Trafalgar Square.
The stunt was part of a campaign to back the theatre industry amid fears visitor numbers would dwindle during the Games.
Film and theatre producer Stephen Daldry, executive producer for the London 2012 opening and closing ceremonies, said: "The most important message today is that we are about to embark on the greatest sporting festival of our lives and also a cultural festival.
"What we are are trying to do here is encourage people, whether they are coming to the stadiums, the live sites or to watch sport on the streets of London, to make sure they come to the theatre as well."

Darlene Jones-Bey knew that she had to change her way of life.
"I was really overweight. I was about 250 pounds," says this Ansonia mom. "I had very high cholesterol. I was at risk for cardiovascular disease, almost borderline diabetic."
Inspired by her boss, she decided to adopt a strict vegan diet, which means she would eat absolutely no animal products. She traded burgers for leafy greens and started losing weight and feeling better. And after several frustrating years of trying to conceive, Jones-Bey finally became pregnant. Now she calls her 9-month-old son, Eleon, a "vegan baby" because he drinks breast milk and gobbles up spoonfuls of tofu-scramble with pureed vegetables.
"He eats everything I give him," says Jones-Bey, a stay-at-home mother. "He even ate okra, which is something people don't like, and he ate it steamed."
Jones-Bey, a former pediatric phlebotomist, is studying to become a naturopathic physician and is dedicated to reading medical research because raising vegan children requires vital knowledge.
"I do think it's tricky," says Claire Dalidowitz, manager of clinical nutrition at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, who warns that vegan youngsters are more at risk for serious deficiencies than vegetarians because of the omission of milk and eggs. She advises parents to seek guidance: "I personally feel that they need some professional support to do it well."
The concern is the fast, critical brain development that occurs in an infant's first year of life, especially at the age of 6 months.
"At that point, we begin to worry about some of the minerals — iron, zinc and some of the vitamins," says Dalidowitz, referring to a potential lack of B12, DHA or choline. "We would run a nutritional analysis so that we could look at all of the vitamins and minerals and make sure that this child had what they need."
Fat-intake is also an incredibly important issue. To achieve optimal brain growth, toddlers need 50 percent of their calories from fat, most often consumed through milk and meat. Dalidowitz says some parents with vegan beliefs "negotiate" and supplement a low-fat soy milk with a complete soy formula, but she notes that testing of this bean product is controversial: "Look for 'GMO-free' labeling on these foods."
"I tell people [that] with veganism, you just learn to cook again," says Jones-Bey, who doesn't have trouble finding Eleon's favorite almond milk, mock-meat substitutes and nutritional yeast in many area grocery stores. While these foods are expensive, she's willing to spend the money because she blames her 10-year-old daughter's asthma and early puberty on their former habit of eating fast food. She says Eleon is different: "I notice with him, I have no health complications. He's just a healthy and happy baby."
But she is clear that this diet works for her family because she is informed: a crucial requirement for a vegan parent.

Drafted in '06, Diaz finally makes Blue Jays debut
Filling in for injured Reyes, shortstop collects first big league hit, RBI
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Jonathan Diaz had to wait a little bit longer than first anticipated, but he has now officially come full circle with the Blue Jays.
Diaz was drafted by Toronto in 2006 and spent seven years in the organization, but never made it to the Major Leagues with the club. He finally got his shot last season in Boston, but when the offseason came along, he decided to return to the Blue Jays on a Minor League deal.
Now, just two days into the season, Diaz finds himself on the Major League roster after his contract was purchased from Triple-A Buffalo following a hamstring injury to Jose Reyes.
"I know how important Reyes is to the club and he's irreplaceable," said Diaz, who started at shortstop Tuesday night. "You can't replace a guy like that and I'm just here to do what I can, help the team win and I just want to contribute.
"Unfortunately it was Reyes going down and he's such a major part of this team. I just want to be able to go out there, play defense, whatever I can, get on base for the guys to drive me in."
Throughout Diaz's career, he has been frequently compared to former Blue Jays infielder John McDonald. Diaz has limited upside with his bat -- as evidenced by his career .230 average with a .655 OPS in eight Minor League seasons -- but he's also an elite defender.
The Blue Jays decided to put an emphasis on that part of the game as they decided to go with Diaz over Munenori Kawasaki. Kawasaki, a fan favorite, can provide a little more offense, but he also doesn't have nearly the kind of range that Diaz has up the middle.
"We wanted to throw our best defense out there," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He's the best shortstop we got out there, he's really good out there."
Reyes is expected to miss at least the next two weeks with mild inflammation in his hamstring.
Diaz entered Tuesday night's game against the Rays hitless in four career at-bats, but it didn't take long for his presence to be felt in Toronto's lineup. He drew a walk in his first at-bat, then had an RBI single off right-hander Alex Cobb in the fourth inning. That helped propel the Blue Jays to a 4-2 victory, their first of the season.
"It felt pretty amazing, especially with the team that drafted me, the team that I spent so many years with," Diaz said. "It was definitely a good feeling and that we got the 'W' was even better."

Well, first of all I recommend taking your own hot water with you in a Thermos. It will keep just-boiled water hot enough for green tea (about 75°C) for an entire day. That will be easier than having to go far out of your way for water or a means of boiling it.
(Just remember that many Thermoses nowadays are so good that even after a half-day, the water inside may be too hot for green tea, so before steeping your tea, pour the water into your cup and let it cool for a couple of minutes.)
If water in the Thermos gets too cool, you could always "touch it up" with a microwave oven, if one is available. (I usually do not recommend microwaves for heating tea water simply because of the plethora of food smells that lurk in most microwaves.)
To keep your water hotter even longer, you can pre-warm the Thermos: Pour boiled water inside, let it sit there for about 5 minutes, pour it back into the kettle and re-boil, then pour it back into the Thermos. Sometimes those last 10 degrees of heat make a huge difference when brewing on the road.
And instead of a teapot, I would take a long a mug and an in-the-cup infuser like this one.
With these three things (plus the tea, of course) you will be a completely self-contained lean, mean brewing machine — with no need to seek out electrical outlets or water sources or microwaves, etc.
A couple of final points: I wouldn't put brewed tea in a Thermos, because the tea's taste (and catechins) degrade quickly inside. And as for those commuter mugs with a built-in infuser, the problem is that the mug part is almost always made of plastic, which I do not recommend for tea.
Happy on-the-road brewing!
That's another way to do it.

After a steady saturation at the turn of the millennium of 1980s retro (may the Reagan Decade rest in peace, for a second time), fashion is now looking to the 1990s for the next nostalgia fix. The decade that gave us the Internet, coffee drinks, Prozac and the Seattle Sound on the fashion side produced the Supermodel (Linda, Naomi, Cindy, Claudia and Christy), minimalism, chokers, overalls, plum lipstick and (our favorite of the retro trends) the "grunge" look.
With references to Generation X and the Dial-Up-Decade steadily infiltrating the runways and the real world, it's time to take a look back on some of the '90s signature fashions in their original incarnation. Courtney, Tori, Alicia, Winona and other '90s It girls may have evolved sartorially since the decade came to an end, but we love revisiting them (and the trends they inspired) at the height of their '90s styles. Click on the gallery below for pictures of some of Hollywood's biggest stars in the era's signature looks.
When it comes to '90s revivals, are scrunchies and pagers next?

If a rendered image has a significantly different aspect ratio from the aspect ratio in its source file (the "natural" aspect ratio), then the rendered image may look distorted, possibly creating an unpleasant user experience.
- Avoiding setting the width or height of an element as a percentage of a variably-sized container.
- Avoid setting explicit width or height values that differ from the source image's dimensions.
- Consider using css-aspect-ratio or Aspect Ratio Boxes to help preserve aspect ratios.
- When possible, it's a good practice to specify image width and height in HTML, so that the browser can allocate space for the image, which prevents it from jumping around as the page loads. It's more optimal to specify width and height in HTML rather than CSS, because the browser allocates space before parsing the CSS. In practice this approach can be difficult if you're working with responsive images, because there's no way to specify width and height until you know the viewport dimensions.
Inspecting rendered images with incorrect aspect ratios
Chrome DevTools can show you the CSS declarations that affect an image's aspect ratio. See View only the CSS that's actually applied to an element.

WOW! All I can say is … WOW! I was a little worried when I clicked "add to cart" and NOW I must say that I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! This is usually something you should try on but I was attracted by the price and the fine looking and decided to trust it. I ordered an L (according to my own measurements and the size chart) and waited. I was skeptical, really, at first. Then 7 days later, I GOT IT! Gee! It really looked not that cheap and was definitely worth the money. Fit me as well! I do love it. :)

Runs extremely small. I was very excited to order this corset, even though I'm not really a fan of the ones that aren't technically corsets. It arrived today, right on time, and I couldn't wait try it on. It would be really nice to know if a corset runs big or small. It's very nice and beautiful, but I ordered a 2x L according to my bust and whatnot

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
The first reading is from the Prophet Isaiah. God often sends difficult
words through prophets. God wants His people to know that nations of every
language will come and see His glory. The role of the Chosen People is to
draw all peoples to the Lord, not to keep God's love just for themselves.
This is the role of the Church today: to draw all peoples to God and to
His love.
The Letter to the Hebrews continues this same teaching: Make straight
paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.
The discipline given to us is to evangelize, to spread the word of God.
This discipline will inevitably bring us suffering. We must proclaim God's
love and invite all others to know of God's love, even if it brings us
ridicule and tiredness. Far too often we would rather life our own way.
God challenges us to know His love and to proclaim Him love to others.
Today the Gospel of Luke reminds us that it is not only knowing the Lord
that counts. We must try to do His will in our lives. It is not enough to
go to Church and to associate with good people. We must work to do the
good, all the while that we recognize that salvation is a gift of God.
Truly, whether we are first or last is of no importance, but let us be
there with the Lord. Let us not put our attention to being first or last.
Let us put our attention on knowing and loving the Lord and trying to do
His will in our lives. Let us invite everyone to the banquet of God's love
and mercy.
We are all called to be prophets. We have been given the Word of God to
proclaim to the nations and we must not rest until we have proclaimed God's
Word. We will suffer as we proclaim the word. We may have to put up with
ridicule. We may have to spend more time that we want to in speaking of
God. We may find our friends thinking that we are overly pious. Whatever
suffering comes to us, we can accept it for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
We don't have to think about how many will be saved but only about our own
faithfulness to all that God is asking of us.
In all of this, we will find mercy and comfort and be able to give glory to
the Lord!

A blessed Lent to all!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I think that Aquinases work helps us to address a serious question: "If we can't know that God exists, then why believe in him at all?" I think its an excellent question. If I don't know that there is one God, and not many, how can I honestly be a Christian? How can I honestly say I am following the truth if I don't know its the truth? Some might say that we can know the Christian faith is true because of an exerience of God or seeing God in another. However, I don't think that this is good enough. People from every religion claim to have life changing experiences of their gods or spiritual ideas just as Christians do.What Aquinas attempted to do was establish an arguement so that we can be sure that there is one God who is omnipotent, omniscient, unchangning, eternal, perfect, good, loving, etc. Once we know this we can see that this God bears a remarkable resemblance to the God of the Judeo/Christian bible. Whether or not he was successful in doing so is another debate. But his work is an honest attempt to answer an honest question.
I agree with you that it is a serious question. I've read in a few places that God loves to be investigated, which is obviously what Aquinas was honestly doing. I don't wanna seem callous with the work of a seemingly genuine man; and I think his work has merit. Certainly Orthodox Christians, at some point, should at least look at his work so that they can see the differences with their own theological approach and then they will be able for themselves the original post of why Thomas Aquinas and the Holy Fathers' approach differ...
Because Aquinas incorporated Aristotelarian thought into his work.
I seem to agree with Papist. I have trouble seeing why some Orthodox don't see the value in what St. Aquinas was trying to do, even though I may disagree with some of the things he may have written, he does write a lot of valuable works.I've always advocated the integration of rational, emotional, spiritual, and physical relationship with God. While the Holy Fathers tended to be spiritual, we cannot forget that they had a rational component into their ideas in trying to prove things like God's existence, that there is one God, that there is no God of evil and God of good, etc. All these things seem to be based on rational arguments of their times (St. Athanasius commented on how if there was no God, there would be no diversity in creation). To say that they solely talked about experience would be quite naive, if not downright annoying. Imagine how much you have to convince someone who already "feels great" praying to Zeus, feeling that peace and grace of Zeus, and saying "well, you probably feel false peace, I pray to the true God, the King of Peace." In our local church, we had someone who I consider a very influential person who repented from a miserable life of sin, and later on left the Orthodox Church to become Protestant because he just feels the grace of God more there (I looked up to this man too and thought he would make an awesome priest). Is that the type of "experience" we're encouraging? I argued with him saying that you can't just have an emotional experience, but a rational one too.Unless I'm wrong in how the Orthodox consider experience with God and knowing God, I just have trouble understanding that point of view.God bless.
The reason that I don't have trouble with this is that Aristotelarian logic not just Aristotelarian. It is simply logic. The reason that it is named after him is that he is the first to describe and codify logic in a systematic way. Another reason that I don't have a problem with this is because his metaphysics need not been seen as "pagan" or "aristotelian". He simply gave names to things that are. For example he describes appearance and apparent outward behavior as accidents. We know accidents exist whether we call them this or not. He termed what a thing really is as substance. Its just a good word to describe something that we know is. He also discusses things like nature and existence and essence. All words he used to describe things that we know are.
A big part of the issue with Aquinas (and those who followed in that tradition) is in how people interpret his writings. There is the danger of believing in God because of an argument. Western philosophy has for some time grappled with theistic arguments (cosmological, teleological, and so on). These are fine to consider, but many (most?) people today misinterpret them as being necessary to faith. When I was in college, I saw more than one person lose his faith after encountering atheist philosophical arguments for the first time. We're not talking about particularly good arguments either. The issue was that these people based their belief on naive philosophical arguments, and were unprepared for the existence of counter-arguments.There is truth in many of the theistic arguments, such as Aquinas's. However, they become dangerous if we accept the view that they are in some way necessary for "rational belief".
I agree with a great deal of what you have said. However, I am just curious. What do you mean "rational belief" and what do you believe is necessary for such faith.
Belief in Christianity can come about through methods which can't be examined by others at all. For instance, many people have been converted by experiences or visions (St Paul, for instance).
There were also many people who converted because of the "philosophy of Christianity," like Athenagoras or Clement. St. Catherine of Alexandria converted pagans through her reasoning and arguments before being martyred. St. Justin Martyr by rational means saw how the Christians were unafraid from death, which means there had to be something going on, and then he converted St. Tatian. St. Paul himself converted people by his strong and philosophical speeches. People have used phrases like "agreeable to reason" to justify certain moral decisions. Pope St. Sextus for instance writes, "The eating of animals is a matter of indifference; but to abstain from them is more agreeable to reason."While Aquinas developed a different method of using reason, this by no means does not prove all Christians before him were irrational. Papist also makes the point that Aquinas is considered "summa," in that he utilizes the Holy Fathers as part of his reasoning.God bless.
Brothers and sisters, I never meant to insinuate that Thomas Aquinas' works are to be avoided by Orthodox. Reason does, and must, play an important part in our theology. Father Kalistos Ware rightly says in The Orthodox Church that the West has relied too much exclusively on reason where the East has perhaps relied too much exclusively on experience. I forget the analogy that he uses, but basically he says that we need both and I agree. I still feel that the exclusive use of one, while downplaying the other, isn't a wise decision. No doubt reasoning can help a person make a more informed decision, but it will only take one so far. I can talk with you all day about a mango, but sooner or later you'll have to experience the taste first hand before you 'understand'.
"The present book is a summary of two books, on of that against the Gentiles, or those heresies which oppose the truth, the other the first part of the Summa Theologiae of which there are three parts. We have taken up the labor of such a summary on account of our great love for these two books. We have put these things together which we had written out before our captivity, and later rediscovered in the diaspora. Since they are in no wise of an easily transportable size on account of the breadth and size of the chapters and questions, and of the fullness of the precise arguments contained in them, and since this our unfortunate life after our national disaster lavishes on us wanderings and distasteful goings and comings, and being unable to carry about so great a weight of books, of necessity and for no other ambition we have made a project of this summary so that it can suffice for us and for anyone else who is well versed in them, in place of the complete books. The author of these books is a Latin by birth and so he adheres to the dogma of that church as an inheritance; this is only human. But he is a wise man, and is inferior to none of those who are perfect in wisdom among men. He wrote most especially as a commentator of Aristotelian philosophy, and of the Old and New Testaments. Most of the principal conclusions of both Sacred Theology and philosophy are seen in his books, almost all of which we have studied, both the few which were translated by others into the Greek language, and their Latin originals, some of which we ourselves have translated into our own tongue. (But alas! All our labor was in vain, for we were about to suffer along with the fatherland which perished on account of our wickedness, the divine mercy being unable to hold out any longer against the divine justice.) In all the aforesaid areas this wise man is most excellent, as the best interpreter and synthesizer in those matters in which his church agrees with ours. In those things wherein that church and he differ from us-they are few in number-namely on the procession of the Holy Spirit and the divine essence and energies, in these not only do we observe the dogma of our fatherland, but we have even fought for it in many books. Our zeal even to the shedding of blood for our dogmas is evident to all men, both friends and enemies, and the whole world is filled with the books we have produced against those who deny them. Glory be to God in all things!"also, from the same work:"Would O excellent Thomas that you had not been born in the West. Then you would not have needed to defend the deviations of the church there…you would have been as perfect in theology as you are in ethics."
It may be commonly labeled as Aristotelarian because of other [popular] logic of the day, such as neo-Platonic (even though it's popularity didn't reach 'til about 100-200 years post-Aquinas).

If I could get some advice on this matter I'm working on, I'd GREATLY appreciate it.
I keep running into dead ends on this one, it's pretty odd, mainly because there's nothing apperently consistent about it, so I have no real leads to follow. This client of ours is on a laptop that goes back and forth between office, home, trips, etc. (he's also a VIP client -- ya know, potentially impatient big shot -- so I'm trying to figure this out as fast as possible). Basically, sometimes he can send email, sometimes he can't, and he can always receive email without any problems. Here's the breakdown:
1) He's using Outlook (I forget exactly which -- 2000 or 2003).
2) POP account. POP3 and SMTP connections are properly configured to the right servers. User/pass info is correct.
3) He can always receive email. The problem only occurs with sending email.
4) Sometimes he can send with no problems, others he is prompted for user authentication, but then the authentication window just appears over and over again instead of allowing him to send the message.
5) He also gets "No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient." bounce back messages.
6) The problem shows no pattern -- Sometimes he can send mail, sometimes he can't -- happens at various different locations, on both ethernet and wireless. So we can't narrow it down to happening at location A or B, or on wireless or off, as it works sometimes in all scenarios, then doesn't others.
7) His mail provider responded that there is no problem on their end, so it has to be on the user's end.
8) Both POP3 and SMTP go through the same server with the same authentication.
So I'm in a bit of a quandry here. Why does it only authenticate part of the time (I have yet to reproduce the problem when I've been on his machine)? And why will it let him receive mail even though he can't send? This has evidently been going on for a while now, so it's definitely not a problem that's going to resolve itself anytime soon.
Any thoughts?

Awhile back, I posted a picture of a lion riding in a car around a large drum-shaped "wall of death". I never knew the context of the picture, but now I do.
Thanks again to CATC friend, Jesse, at "Just A car Guy", for filling me in on that picture of that daredevil lion. It turns out that lion belonged to "Fearless Egbert" and was a seasoned performer at various state and county fairs back in the 1930's. Go to Jesse's blog entries for more pictures and information about this unique act.

I'm finally back in the swing of things after a little road trip to Tennessee, and thought it would be fun to share some pics with you. The whole experience was so inspiring and I made memories that will last with me forever.
I met up with my friend Heidi and we had a great time chatting in the car. And I took lots of photos as she drove. I loved this bridge over the Ohio River as we crossed from Ohio to West Virginia.
And this great barn quilt, somewhere in West Virginia.
Once Heidi and I met up with Amy at the lake, we just couldn't believe how beautiful it was.
Seriously. It was heaven on earth. And I never got tired of looking at that view...
The color of the water was gorgeous too, and would change from a teal-ish blue, to a more slate colored blue, depending on the time of day.
Breathtaking, right?
We spent a lot of time in the sun, and I got a bit burned. And in fact, I'm still peeling...
We went on a mini road trip in the surrounding countryside,
which was just about as magical as our lake view.
We went on a walk and saw another fun barn quilt....
and some beautiful wildflowers.
I spent a lot of time in these rockers, just taking it all in...
and I did a little hand piecing of some improv blocks while I was there.
We took a little trip into Boone, NC for dinner on our last night together, and I found another barn quilt on our way.
We hung out with Boone native Doc Watson for a bit...
before getting back on the snakey mountain roads.
On our way home we found the Appalachian Trail...
and we hit the Tri-Cities Flea Market outside of Bristol. I can't wait to show you what I found there! The goods need a little more airing out, but I'll show them to you soon.
All in all, it was an amazing time. And I'm refreshed and ready to get back to work!

The Bizarre World Of Nintendo's Star Fox
You might be as smart as a fox, but do you know all of these obscure facts about Nintendo's anthropomorphic shooter series?
1. Star Fox Pilots Are Cyborgs
You're probably familiar with this version of Star Fox:
But check out the box for the original Star Fox game:
Specifically look at Fox's feet. You can clearly see that he has robotic legs. And he's not the only one. This old cover for Nintendo Power reveals that the whole Star Fox crew has robotic limbs:
Nintendo has never commented on this fact, but one predominant theory is that the Star Fox crew willingly had their limbs amputated so they could withstand the intense G-forces of space flight. Modern Air Force pilots already wear tight clothing around their legs to help prevent blood from rushing to their feet and causing them to pass out. Did Nintendo envision amputated legs when it first created the series? Perhaps, or maybe Nintendo thought the Star Fox crew would need mechanical parts to help complete their anthropomorphic transformation. They are animal after all. Maybe they needed the metal legs to help them walk. Either way this is a fairly dark piece of Star Fox lore.
2. Falco Isn't A Falcon
A recent Iwata Asks interview for Star Fox 64 3D reveled that Falco isn't actually based on a falcon, but a pheasant. For comparison, here's a Falcon:
And here's a pheasant:
Looks about right to us.
3. Please Pass The General Pepper
In Japan there is an expression about "fighting like dogs and monkeys." This is why Nintendo designed Star Fox's high ranking officer, General Pepper, as a dog while series antagonist, Andross, is a monkey. But this wasn't the only inspiration for General Pepper. Here's a pic of General Pepper:
And here's the album art for the Beatle's St. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. We'll let you draw your own conclusions.
4. Star Fox 64 Was The Last Great Star Fox Game
You may think that Star Fox: Assault was a great Star Fox game, but it was really just okay. Nintendo hasn't made a great Star Fox game in almost 16 years. (Star Fox 64 3D doesn't really count as a new game.) Sorry to disappoint you with this news, but really, Nintendo has disappointed us all.
5. Miyamoto Envisioned Star Fox As A Puppet Drama
Growing up, Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto loved watching English puppet dramas such as Thunderbirds:
When it came time to design Star Fox, Miyamoto modeled Star Fox off of those old puppet dramas, and the concept really shined through in the marketing of the day:
Miyamoto even hoped that some production company would approach Nintendo and negotiate a contract to turn Star Fox into a puppet dramo, but it never happened. Still, Star Fox's early puppet designs continued to resonate through the series and is why the mouths of the Star Fox crew flap up and down like muppets in Star Fox 64.
6. There is a Star Fox Arwing Hidden in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Arwings are the ships that Star Fox and his crew fight space evil in:
An Arwing model, complete with flight pattern, is included in the code for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. For year's no one knew why, then in a recent Iwata Asks, graphic designer Satoru Takizawa talked about how the animations for Zelda boss Volvagia were based off an enemy fighter from the Star Fox games. Here's Volvagia:
During development an Arwings was placed into the game so the team could work on Volvagia's flight pattern. The final Volvagia model was placed into the game by the time it shipped, but the Arwing was never removed.
Those are all the fun facts for now, but these are far from the only tidbits about the Star Fox. Share your favorite details about the series below.

text: Wellington - A group of medical specialists has provided an answer to a dilemma that has faced flyers since the Wright brothers took to the air in 1903 -- is it okay to fart mid-flight?The experts' recommendation is an emphatic yes to airline passengers -- but a warning to cockpit crews that breaking wind could distract the pilot and pose a safety risk.The study concluded that anecdotal evidence that flying increases flatulence is not hot air, finding that changes in air pressure at altitude result in the gut producing more gas.When Danish gastroenterologist Jacob Rosenberg encountered the malodorous problem first-hand on a flight from Copenhagen to Tokyo, he enlisted some of the finest minds in his field to address the issue.The result was an in-depth review of scientific literature on flatulence, looking at issues such as whether women's farts smell worse than men's (yes), what causes the odour (sulphur) and how often the average person passes wind every day (10).The bottom line, according to the 3,000-word study published in the New Zealand Medical Journal on Friday, is that airline passengers should ignore the social embarrassment of breaking wind and "just let it go"."(Holding back) holds significant drawbacks for the individual, such as discomfort and even pain, bloating, dyspepsia (indigestion), pyrosis (heartburn) just to name but a few resulting abdominal symptoms," the study found."Moreover, problems resulting from the required concentration to maintain such control may even result in subsequent stress symptoms."The authors -- five gastroenterologists from Denmark and Britain -- said that while passengers may experience poor service from the cabin crew as a result of their decision, the health benefits outweighed any negative impacts.However, they said the cockpit crew faced a lose-lose situation."On the one hand, if the pilot restrains a fart, all the drawbacks previously mentioned, including impaired concentration, may affect his abilities to control the plane," the researchers said."On the other hand, if he lets go of the fart, his co-pilot may be affected by its odour, which again reduces safety onboard the flight."The authors canvassed a number of solutions to the issue of flight-induced flatulence, including using methane breath tests to screen wind-prone passengers from flights, but rejected them as impractical.They did, however, note that the textile covers used on seats in economy class absorbed up to 50 percent of odours because they are gas permeable, unlike the leather seats in first class.They suggested airlines could improve the odour-eating properties of the seats and issue special blankets and trousers to passengers to minimise mid-air flatulence."We humbly propose that active charcoal should be embedded in the seat cushion, since this material is able to neutralise the odour," they said."Moreover active charcoal may be used in trousers and blankets to emphasise this effect." Air New Zealand declined to comment when asked if it would adopt such measures.

CPMR member regions have given their full backing to the CPMR's initiative to hold a 'Reflection' on the Future of Europe.
The CPMR presented its proposal for the Reflection during its Political Bureau, held on the island of Gozo, Malta on 10 March, at the kind invitation of Anton Refalo, Minister of Gozo. The Reflection, which was unanimously approved by Regions at the meeting, will aim to identify the vision and priorities of peripheral and maritime regions for the 'Future of Europe'.
CPMR President, Vasco Cordeiro, said: "It is crucial that regions are active in the debate on the future of Europe. Territorial cohesion must be at the heart of the discussion."
A discussion on the EU Budget was held in unison with the meeting's Future of Europe debate, with member regions stressing that any conversation on Europe's future must take the budget into account.
Following these debates, the Political Bureau's session on Cohesion policy updated member Regions on the state-of-play regarding the policy. The CPMR has been working with CPMR members to develop concrete proposals on key issues for the future of post-2020 Cohesion policy.
The CPMR is looking to identify the right focus for financial instruments in Cohesion policy, simplifying the policy and improving the role of regions in the governance on the policy. It also wants to establish clear boundaries with the European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI).
Furthermore, it is developing proposals on the European Social Fund (ESF) and European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg). It is also working to identify the right relationship between Cohesion and the European semester and ensuring that the specific challenges of island, outermost and northern sparsely populated regions are addressed.
CPMR Secretary General, Eleni Marianou, said: "Cohesion policy is not just a funding pot. It is central to the realisation of EU objectives for all regions."
The debate on Accessibility provided members with an update on the CPMR's work in relation to the EU's Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and Motorways of the Sea (MoS) policies. Regarding the CEF, the CPMR continues to call for the EU's remaining Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding to be allocated to projects that improve accessibility for Europe's peripheral regions and islands.
This should be reflected in the post-2020 CEF Regulation, and the CPMR adopted principles to be introduced in relation to this.
Chair of the Accessibility session, Annika Annerby Jansson, Vice-President of the CPMR in charge of Transport, said: "Beyond general principles, Regions will mobilise themselves to improve the current design of the corridors, actively participating in the corridors' forums."
The CPMR also presented its ideas on how the MoS – the maritime component of the EU's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme – could improve accessibility for Europe's peripheral regions and islands. These include proposals to expand the geographical and strategic dimensions of the European Commission's Detailed Implementation Plan, and to change the MoS implemention during the period up to 2021.
Regarding Maritime Affairs, member regions were advised that the coming months will be decisive for the future of maritime Europe. EU Member States have begun discussions on a ministerial declaration that will be adopted on 20th April 2017 in Malta. This declaration will provide a political basis for EU maritime policies in the future.
Regions approved a policy position calling on the EU to use these opportunities in order to place the seas and oceans at the heart of its future; act in partnership with the regions to invest effectively in the maritime economy; and further develop thematic European maritime policies.
Along with the discussion on the three core CPMR policy areas, the meeting also offered regions the chance to debate the topic of Marco regions. The CPMR presented its Position on EU Strategies with a Macro-regional Dimension, which contains a number of recommendations, including the establishment of a 'Strategies with a macro-regional dimension' Task Force among the relevant Directorates General within the European Commission. The position was approved.
Finally, the debate on Migration confirmed that regions are currently leading the way for effective reception and integration policies, as well as solidarity. The discussion reiterated the prominent role that regions can play as part of a multilevel European solution in Europe's ongoing migration crisis, particularly in the context of the emerging future of Europe debate.
You can view all the reports from the CPMR Political Bureau, help on March 10, 2017, on our website.

Acute leukemia is a systemic cancer characterized by the infiltration of immature lymphocytes or myelocytes (two types of white blood cells) called in the bone marrow (and commonly in the liver and spleen as well). Patients with acute leukemia are typically quite ill due to their disease. Affected animals are typically young (less than 5 years of age). There is a male gender predilection in some studies.
