STORY: Would an Elizabeth Bennet by any other name be as appealing to a Darcy?
A single mother and an ER doctor meet on an Internet dating site—each for reasons that have little to do with finding their perfect match—in this modern, Austen-inspired story. It's a tribute to the power of both "pride" and "prejudice" in bringing two people romantically together, despite their mutual insistence that they should stay apart…
Beth Ann Bennet isn't looking for love. She's an aspiring social worker using an online alias to study sex-role stereotypes. Dr. William Darcy isn't looking for love either. He's just trying to fund his new clinic by winning a major bet. Both think Lady Catherine's Love Match Website will help them get what they want—fast, easy and without endangering their hearts. Both are in for a big surprise.
Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match…where true love is just a fib and a click away.
REVIEW: If you're expecting your typical 'Pride and Prejudice' contemporary re-telling of Jane Austen book, you'll be pleasantly surprised by finding out that while some names have stayed the same and brought into the 21st Century, the roles might be a bit reversed.
As blurbs go, this one's perfect and gives you just enough of a peek and a hook into the story saving me the trouble of summarizing it for you, thus letting me tell you the reasons why I liked it.
Ms. Brant cleverly takes some of the bones of the original, shakes them up, guiding them to their perfect landing and giving us a story that is all her own.
The characters, main and secondary, were three-dimensional to a point that they might have been your neighbors or your friends, that's how real they felt. The plot was intriguing and kept you in anticipation of the final reveal, which kept the story moving and entertaining.
And just when you thought you got it all figured out, Ms. Brant gives you a surprise or two!
You know what else I liked about this story? It made me remember what my husband once told me and at the time, I don't think I appreciated his wisdom. He said I was everything he never wanted…but go tell that to his heart!
Sometimes, what we find when not even looking is not what we want, but rather what our heart knows we need. That's what happens to our hero and heroine, and getting there, Ms. Brant made them work for it! I found the individual life stories of both characters touching and way too real, that by the time they got their happily ever after, I was emotionally fulfilled.
'Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match' is a great tribute to Jane Austen by Marilyn Brant and it will have you sigh as much as the original, if not more so. Highly, highly recommend you get it! Promise you'll love it!

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google and based on the WebKit layout engine and application framework. On January 08, 2009 Google introduced a new release channels system, and now there are three distinct release channels – Stable channel, Beta channel, and Developer preview channel.
Google has released Chrome 1.0 on Dec – 2008, and now the company is all set to release version 2.0 (pre – beta version) of its web browser. From the release notes:
New version of WebKit. WebKit is the open source code Google Chrome uses to render web pages (HTML and CSS). 18.104.22.168 used basically the same version of WebKit as Safari 3.1, but the WebKit team has made a lot of improvements since that was released. 156.1 uses WebKit version 528.8 or, more precisely, revision 39410 from the WebKit source tree. In addition to fixing bugs and enabling features like full-page zoom and autoscroll, the new version also enables some nifty CSS features.
New network code. Google Chrome now has its own implementation of the HTTP network protocol (we were using the WinHTTP library on Windows, but need common code for Mac and Linux). We fixed a few bugs in HTTP authentication and made Google Chrome more compatible with servers that reply with invalid HTTP responses. We need feedback on anything that's currently broken, particularly with proxy servers, secure (https) sites, and sites that require log in.
Look like the Mac and Linux versions of Chrome are getting closer.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #369
From Psalm 87
Zion, founded on the mountains,
God, thy Maker, loves thee well;
He has chosen thee, most precious,
He delights in thee to dwell;
God's own city, God's own city, God's own city,
Who can all thy glory tell?
Heathen lands and hostile peoples
Soon shall come the Lord to know;
Nations born again in Zion
Shall the Lord's salvation show;
God Almighty, God Almighty, God Almighty,
Shall on Zion strength bestow.
When the Lord shall count the nations,
Sons and daughters he shall see,
Born to endless life in Zion,
And their joyful song shall be:
"Blessed Zion, Blessed Zion, Blessed Zion,
All our fountains are in thee."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded veteran tight end Kellen Winslow to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Buccaneers and Seahawks announced via news releases on Monday.
A source told ESPN.com that the pick was a seventh-rounder that could be elevated to the sixth round.
The move was not quite a surprise. During an interview with Ross Tucker of NFL SiriusXM radio on Monday, Winslow said Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano had told him he would not be back with the team and that the club was actively trying to trade him.
Schiano had expressed disappointment that Winslow was not participating in the team's offseason workout program, opting instead to work out on his own near his home in San Diego, Winslow said during the interview. Winslow returned to Tampa over the weekend, which is when he was informed that he was no longer in the team's plans.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that the Seahawks did not renegotiate Winslow's contract in order to facilitate the trade. This does not mean that it won't be revisited down the road, but for now, the Seahawks will inherit the three years and $15.95 million remaining on Winslow's current contract. That includes a $3.3 million in base salary, $550,000 in per-game roster bonuses ($34,375 per game active), a $500,000 workout bonus and $1 million in incentives. Winslow will count for $4.8 million against the salary cap in 2012.
Winslow joins a tight end group that headlined by Zach Miller, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract in 2011 that included $17 million in guaranteed money. The Seahawks had offensive line issues, and Miller had to block more than had orginally been planned, leaving him to catch just 25 passes for 233 yards a year after making the Pro Bowl. Former starter John Carlson missed the season with a torn labrum, forcing the team to rely on young tight ends Cameron Morrah and Anthony McCoy, who combined for just 19 receptions for 220 yards.
Winslow, 28, has spent the last three seasons with the Buccaneers, catching 218 passes for 2,377 yards and 12 touchdowns in 48 games. The Bucs had acquired Winslow in 2009, sending a pair of draft picks to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the former first-round draft pick. Winslow has 437 career receptions for 4,836 yards and 23 touchdowns in 92 games. He missed most of his first two seasons in the league with knee injuries.
The Buccaneers also officially announced the signing of former Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark to a one-year deal. Clark has struggled with injuries the last two seasons, catching just 71 passes for 699 yards and five touchdowns after establishing career-highs with 100 receptions for 1,106 yards with 10 touchdowns in 2009, the lone Pro Bowl season of his nine-year career.
The Colts released Clark as part of a large roster purge on March 9.

"The Raid: Redemption" has been blowing peoples minds across the festival for circuit for about a year now, with its relentless martial arts action and bare-bones style, and now it's ready to hit theaters on Friday.
It's the story of an Indonesian SWAT team that storms an apartment building in Jakarta that serves as home base for a drug lord. The film is a pulse-pounding 101-minute thrill ride as we follow our hero, Rama, and his fellow cops as they fight their way, floor by floor, up to the kingpin's penthouse lair.
What makes "The Raid" so unusual is that it was written and directed by Gareth Evans, a man who was born and raised in Wales but has made his name in Indonesia.
U.S. & World
How'd you end up in Indonesia?
My wife is Indonesian-Japanese, and we were based in UK for a long time. She went to university in Europe, and we got married in 2006. I'd always wanted to be in the film industry, but I'd never really done enough, I hadn't pushed myself forward enough to get noticed in the UK. I kept too localized, it was my fault.
She put in a few calls back home, because she has family in Indonesia, and through her contacts she got me a directing job doing a documentary in Indonesia. And that documentary was bout Silat, the martial art that we use (in our films). That was the starting point. I went out there, found out what it was like to live and work out there, discovered a martial arts discipline I hadn't seen before—I'm a big fan of martial arts films.
But suddenly, I was seeing this new exciting thing for the first time, and through the process of that six months I came away from it I with traditions and culture I could use for my first storyline out there. An action discipline I was excited to explore, and I met Iko (Uwais) as well, who's the star of the first film and the raid as well.
What's unique about Silat?
What I love about it is it's got a very sort of like fluid style, fluid appearance to it can be graceful, but at the same time very brutal as well. They way you move into a strike is beautiful to look at, then the result of that strike is pretty horrible to look at as well. It's that juxtaposition that I really like as well.
But also, it's very adaptable to different situations, so you can be in a confined space or a wide open space; many attackers or just one-on-one, and there's ways to deal with each situation. There's a low center of gravity to it, so you're looking at somebody, you're fighting somebody eye-to-eye, then you just come down and take their legs and it's over in an instant.
I haven't (done it) for a long time—I did for the first movie, I learned for about 10 months for the first movie. I knew I was working with the choreography team, I wanted them to feel that I came to it with some kind of background knowledge at the very least—an understanding of some of the movements, and the aesthetics of it as well, so that I'd feel comfortable giving them notes on things as well.
On how to make an exciting action film on the cheap:
The hard part is getting money. We finished our first movie, "Merantau," in 2009, and we spent from 2009 to 2010 trying to get the financing in place for a different film. We struggled for a year and a half—we couldn't get any money. So "The Raid" was our plan B. "The Raid" was actually a lot lower budget than "Merantau" was, and to my mind it was kinda like, "Oh s***—I'm taking a step back. Our ambition was always to go higher, we always planned the action had to be 10 times bigger. Our approach is to make it bigger to make it succeed. But in the back of my mind, it's still like a step down.
We had to really stretch to get this movie made at the budget we made it at. We had to recycle sets, we had to recycle the wood that we used, we were eco-friendly up to a point. I was looking at all the different elements that made us lose money on the first film, the things that cost us a lot of money. So it's like this, you set the film inside one building, OK—I'm never going to have to worry about rain, so I can shoot all the time. If I'm inside a room or a corridor, I don't need to have a crane for that many days of the shoot... There are all these different kinds of elements…
On how single location can be a good thing:
But beyond the sort of budgetary thing, I'm a huge fan of films that are set in one location, action films especially. "Die Hard," you could argue "Hard Boiled," because the last 50 minutes is all in the hospital. "Assault on Precinct 13" is one of the best for me—it's incredible. So what I did was look at all those different films for influence points and figure out structure. Figure out, OK what happens after your big set piece, then? How do you rebuild it up towards that next one? How to you build the tension? Or get the audience in the mood for when you pull the trigger and start that next fight? A lot of those films helped inform me of that. "Die Hard" was purely on a spectacle level, how can we keep ramping it up and up and up?
I hate watching action films where you have this amazing incredible sequence in the first 10 minutes and then everything else feels like a whimper afterward. My preference is something that escalates—something that builds and builds and builds, get bigger and bigger as it goes along. So then that final fight sequence, it's the f***ing best scene in the film.
On the inevitable "Raid" Hollywood remake and the sequel:
I'm excited (about the "Raid" remake). I think the storyline's pretty streamlined, I think there's a lot they could do with it. Things they could do differently. I just hope whoever directs it is given the same creative freedom that I had. That's important. It needs a fresh pair of eyes to come to it. I can't think of any more ways that I can kill people. For me, whoever does that job, I hope they get given that same freedom to explore it, not have someone looking over their shoulder every two minutes. The only limitation that I had was budgetary, and there were things I wanted to do in that film that I couldn't afford to do.
I'm going to start shooting (the sequel) in January—we're taking it to the streets. I don't want to do a sequel that just follows the same formula, and copies the first film. Whatever that was frightening and scary about that building and that boss in the first movie? A small fry in comparison to what were gonna do in the second. We're gonna meet the higher-ups. It's a much bigger story as well.
On his own Hollywood aspirations:
I do. I'd love to direct in the English language for a change. That would be nice. But I want to do something, but I want it to be right for me. I don't have an interest to be plugged into some franchise or have some big-budget thing. I want to really feel something about the script, the storyline, and the characters. It's one of those things where is Indonesia now, and it's always gonna be Indonesia. I want to bounce between Indonesia and somewhere outside—one here, one there… And I got family back there, and if I'm going to naked a film, that means I'm not going to see them for a long period of time. If I'm not going to see my family for a long period of time, it'd better be f***ing worth it. So I don't want to be a year and a half down the line and realize I hate the film I made. So whoever I work and wherever the story is, it's because the people want my version of that film.

In all the end of 2012/the world list-making, smaller releases tend to get ignored in favor of the ones everyone knows about. So I decided to do a list, in no particular order, of my favorite albums by L.A. artists this year that were released on small labels or were self-released — and which didn't get as much press as others. That means no Flying Lotus, Kendrick Lamar, Best Coast or Ariel Pink, even though the releases by those people are great and you should listen to them, too. (Read my top 50 albums of 2012 here, with more L.A.-based artists like Miguel and Julia Holter.) All of these are great up-and-coming artists, seek them out!

EDMONTON - Hockey fans across much of the Prairies will be able to sip a beer early Sunday morning if they choose to cheer on Canada in the Olympic gold medal men's hockey game at a bar.
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission says it will allow all licensees to serve liquor as soon as the puck drops at 5 a.m. MST.
CEO Bill Robinson says the commission appreciates the enthusiasm of people who want to gather to watch the game.
In Saskatchewan, the liquor and gaming authority has given all bars permission to open and serve liquor at 5:30 a.m. CST — 30 minutes before the game against Sweden starts, except in one city.
Officials and police in Prince Albert asked the province not to allow bars to open early in their community.
The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission is also giving permission to bars that apply to start serving fans at 5 a.m. CST, one hour before game time.
"The Olympic games have, once again, captured Canadians' imaginations," Dave Chomiak, minister responsible for regulating liquor in Manitoba, said Friday in a release.
"It will be an exciting event for hockey fans and we want to give them an opportunity to gather and watch it and cheer on the nation's team."
Officials say bar owners will be expected to serve their customers in a socially responsible way.

Amazon sells a banana-shaped banana slicer called the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer.
For some reason that's better left undiscovered, the user-contributed reviews for the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer on Amazon.com are wonderfully absurd.
You must read them now.
Here are the 5 "most helpful," as ranked by Amazon's algorithms.
No more winning for you, Mr. Banana!, By SW3K
For decades I have been trying to come up with an ideal way to slice a banana. "Use a knife!" they say. Well...my parole officer won't allow me to be around knives. "Shoot it with a gun!" Background check...HELLO! I had to resort to carefully attempt to slice those bananas with my bare hands. 99.9% of the time, I would get so frustrated that I just ended up squishing the fruit in my hands and throwing it against the wall in anger. Then, after a fit of banana-induced rage, my parole officer introduced me to this kitchen marvel and my life was changed. No longer consumed by seething anger and animosity towards thick-skinned yellow fruit, I was able to concentrate on my love of theatre and am writing a musical play about two lovers from rival gangs that just try to make it in the world. I think I'll call it South Side Story.
Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see greatness on the horizon.
Saved my marriage, By Mrs Toledo
What can I say about the 571B Banana Slicer that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone.... this is one of the greatest inventions of all time. My husband and I would argue constantly over who had to cut the day's banana slices. It's one of those chores NO ONE wants to do! You know, the old "I spent the entire day rearing OUR children, maybe YOU can pitch in a little and cut these bananas?" and of course, "You think I have the energy to slave over your damn bananas? I worked a 12 hour shift just to come home to THIS?!" These are the things that can destroy an entire relationship. It got to the point where our children could sense the tension. The minute I heard our 6-year-old girl in her bedroom, re-enacting our daily banana fight with her Barbie dolls, I knew we had to make a change. That's when I found the 571B Banana Slicer. Our marriage has never been healthier, AND we've even incorporated it into our lovemaking. THANKS 571B BANANA SLICER!
GREAT Gift, By Uncle Pookie
Once I figured out I had to peel the banana before using - it works much better.
Ordering one for my nephew who's in the air force in California. He's been using an old slinky to slice his banana's. He should really enjoy this product!
My 27 trained monkeys love this, By L. Blankenship "Lundy Love
As you may or may not know, I have 27 trained monkeys I use to do my evil bidding. Well, the younger monkeys teeth have not fully developed and so slicing a banana to feed them is a necessary chore. The adult monkeys used to have to chew up bananas and feed their young but not anymore with the Victorio Kitchen Products 571B Banana Slicer. The adults are going bananas over this time saving easy product. No longer so they have to taste and chew the deliciousness banana without eating it teasing them like a teenage prom date.
Now, they can eat and enjoy while i feed the young by slicing the bananas into small pieces that's easy for them to digest, This product is aces in my book and if you have 27 trained monkeys that will help you take over the land of OZ, i highly recommenced this product. This product is more useful than a barrel of monkeys
A military endorsement, By HappyHubby
I have served in the US Army for over 12 years. I can say that there is technology being used by the military that is rarely seen in the civilian sector. Once in a while, however, an amazing product is released by the DoD for civilian use. The 571B is one of those products. Although once called the M571B Tactical Banana Slicer (TBS)V1, they have declassified it for public use. I am glad to see this product on the market today but I will warn you now, this is a CIVILIAN model and not designed for field use!

Petrowski tops Seidel for state Senate seat
Galloway said she would step down
MADISON, Wis. — Republican Jerry Petrowski has defeated Democrat Donna Seidel for an open Senate seat in Tuesday's recall elections.
Democrats upset with Republican Gov. Scott Walker's polarizing plan to strip most public workers of nearly all their union rights forced the governor, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four GOP senators, including Pam Galloway of Wausau, into recall elections this past winter. Walker claimed the plan was needed to control the state budget, but many public workers opposed erosion of their bargaining rights.
Galloway chose to resign rather than defend her seat. State election officials decided to continue with the election to fill her seat regardless.

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the University of Rhode Island estimate that mats made of thousands of individual squirts infest a 40 square mile area of seabed that is highly productive for fish and sea scallops. In large parts of the affected area, the sea squirts cover 50 percent or more of the seabed. The Georges Bank infestation is unique, the only known occurrence of this magnitude in a major offshore fishing ground.
Sea squirts are tunicates, a type of sea life with a primitive spinal cord and a firm, flexible outer covering called a "tunic," from which the name derives. A filter-feeding species of the genus Didemnum, they form dense mats, made of thousands of individuals, by attaching to firm substrates such as gravel, sea scallops, mussels, docks and other structures, and even seaweed. Tunicates can overgrow sea scallops and mussels, and they may affect other species of clams and worms that live in the seabed below the tunicate colony. An "invasive species" is one that is not native to an ecosystem, and that may harm that ecosystem if introduced.
In the fall of 2003, the same research team first spotted this infestation over roughly 6 square miles of ocean bottom during a scientific cruise to study habitats on Georges Bank. This year, the team surveyed a larger area with tunicate coverage.
The scientists observed mats over at least 40 square miles of the gravel substrate on the northern edge of Georges Bank. Video and photo transects using the USGS seabed observation and sampling system (SEABOSS) documented the distribution of the tunicate colonies in water depths of 42 to 65 meters (138 to 213 feet). The cruise was conducted aboard the NOAA Ship Delaware II.
Scientists will analyze data they collected on the cruise to determine if the tunicate invasion has the potential to alter seabed communities that sustain commercial fish species. Tunicate fragments were also found in the stomachs of haddock and winter flounder collected in the area, but did not appear to be digested. Samples of the tunicate will be evaluated to determine its nutritional value to predators, and to confirm the species through DNA analysis.
The tunicate can spread by reproducing either sexually or asexually by budding. The free-swimming tadpoles produced by sexual reproduction live only a few days, during which time they can be spread by tidal and storm currents to form new colonies. By contrast, fragments of colonies are long-lived. Controlled experiments in Cape Cod waters by USGS and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution scientists have shown that small pieces removed from Didemnum colonies increase dramatically by budding in a matter of weeks. Thus, fragmentation of tunicate mats could promote the spread of the species.
The Didemnum species occurs along the coasts of the Netherlands and France. In the U.S., it has been documented in coastal New England from Connecticut to northern Maine, along the California coast, and in October of this year, it was first reported in Puget Sound off Edmonds, Washington. The same species (or a close relative) is present at several localities in New Zealand. Officials in Edmonds and in New Zealand have used chemical applications and physical removal in attempts to eradicate the relatively small infestations there.
The species thrives in marine environments that lie within its preferred temperature range (28 to 75 degrees F) and that have firm substrates and plentiful food, conditions that are widespread off the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada. It could change gravel habitats that lie along the northern edge of Georges Bank, and immobile sand habitats characteristic of southerly Bank. Didemnum cannot survive on habitats of moving sand, and therefore much of the shallow Bank crest is not threatened. It is not yet known to occur on mud habitats that are typical of the deep basins of the Gulf of Maine.
For more information on Didemnum on Georges Bank, and the worldwide occurrence of this invasive species, see the USGS website: http://woodshole.

|Find the best surf spots
Trip: Palau
Saturday January 5 2008 05:17:36 PM
Date: from Jan 15, 2008 to Mar 3, 2008
Surf trip description:
Heading out to Koror Palau and hitting up Bill Ridpath for a couple of boat trips to Palaus western reefs. It is bigger in the fall on the east shore, but the west is ok this time of year. I will post pictures if I can get a photographer friend to join me.
So there I was surfing some of the fastest cleanest outer reef breaks that I have ever seen. For a place that is not on any surf map or guide book the surf in Palau is the best kept secret in the Pacific. There are outer reefs that take the power of the Philipean Sea or the Pacific Ocean from 100m walls to 2-3m deep on the reef resulting in solid lines and great barrels. I made three pilgrimages to the outer reefs during my working visit to Palau and was never disapointed by the shoulder high to double overhead waves. My only regret is that I only took my 9' 0" and not anything for biger surf. The local surf population consist of less than a dozen great people who are very willing to share there breaks with anyone who can share the respects, cold beer, and fresh shashimi.

• learn how to apply
• meet the current cohort and mentors
• read more about the project
• visit the project's blog and news page for insights into their learning
By Heath Jones | For four years I took something for granted that I have since learned to cherish. That is, community. Community simply happened around me in my four years of undergrad education. I could venture out into the hallway of my dormitory at any moment to find life and energy. Friendships developed and were sustained with little effort because paths crossed organically.
By Nathan Kibler | Putting myself into a group of strangers wasn't new to me when I joined The Discipleship Project (TDP). In 2008 I flew to Northern Ireland to be a part of a group of young people answering a call in their life to see what great things God is doing in the world. It was my first real experience with intentional community, and it completely changed my life.
Christian Theological Seminary is pleased to announce the second cohort of students selected for The Discipleship Project, a groundbreaking experiment in theological education at CTS. All in their first year of the M.Div. degree program, these new "TDPers" hail from states as far away as California, Florida, and Colorado, as well as Indiana.

More Diligent and Concerned at Home
Continuing my general conference series, this week I was reading David A Bednar's talk, More Diligent and Concerned at Home.
Here are a few quotes and thoughts
We can begin to become more diligent and concerned at home by telling the people we love that we love them. Such expressions do not need to be flowery or lengthy. We simply should sincerely and frequently express love.
Brethren and sisters, when was the last time you took your eternal companion in your arms and said, "I love you"? Parents, when was the last time you sincerely expressed love to your children? Children, when was the last time you told your parents that you love them?
Each of us already knows we should tell the people we love that we love them. But what we know is not always reflected in what we do. We may feel unsure, awkward, or even perhaps a bit embarrassed.
As disciples of the Savior, we are not merely striving to know more; rather, we need to consistently do more of what we know is right and become better.
We should remember that saying "I love you" is only a beginning. We need to say it, we need to mean it, and most importantly we need consistently to show it. We need to both express and demonstrate love.
President Thomas S. Monson recently counseled: "Often we assume that [the people around us] must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. . . . We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us"
This is something I have done off and on. In some senses, I feel that I do an okay job at love word expressing. I'm sure my wife (and mom?) will be amused reading about feelings talking I did like the talk about how saying "I love you" is not enough – it needs to be shown in words. Extreme, anyone? Also the quote from Pres. Monson about how you'll never regret kind words or affection but only regret the lack of them.
As our sons were growing up, our family did what you have done and what you now do. We had regular family prayer, scripture study, and family home evening. Now, I am sure what I am about to describe has never occurred in your home, but it did in ours.
Sometimes Sister Bednar and I wondered if our efforts to do these spiritually essential things were worthwhile. Now and then verses of scripture were read amid outbursts such as "He's touching me!" "Make him stop looking at me!" "Mom, he's breathing my air!" Sincere prayers occasionally were interrupted with giggling and poking. And with active, rambunctious boys, family home evening lessons did not always produce high levels of edification. At times Sister Bednar and I were exasperated because the righteous habits we worked so hard to foster did not seem to yield immediately the spiritual results we wanted and expected.
Nope, never happened in my family growing up and never happens now. We have done pretty well in FHE and Family prayers. Scripture reading has been off and on. I do think it's very true talking about how it's important not necessarily what comes out of it but just that it gets done. Here's a metaphor that someone once shared with me when I was complaining about the pointlessness of church meeting attendance with little kids. She compared it to trying to get water with a hole in your bucket. So you go to the well, fill up the bucket, but by the time you get back to the house, all the water has leaked out. Every time you fill it up, the water leaks out. Very frustrating for sure, but her point was at least you cleaned the bucket. Now, I don't know if I exactly like the metaphor as it pertains to church attendance but it did provoke some interesting thoughts.
Elder Bednar also compared it to a big painting. If you stand real close, you can see the individual brushstrokes which are nothing special and even appear random. But when you step back it becomes a big painting. Similar is doing Conceptis' Pic-a-pix or we have a painting downstairs at work from a guy named Denny Dent who basically just throws paint at canvas and it looks totally random till he gets all done and you're like woah that's Albert Einstein.
Being consistent in our homes is important for another reason. Many of the Savior's harshest rebukes were directed to hypocrites. Jesus warned His disciples concerning the scribes and Pharisees: "Do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not" (Matthew 23:3). This strong admonition is sobering given the counsel to "express love—and show it," to "bear testimony—and live it," and to "be consistent."
The hypocrisy in our lives is most readily discerned and causes the greatest destruction within our own homes. And children often are the most alert and sensitive when it comes to recognizing hypocrisy.

In-depth Review: Apple's iOS 6 Maps & the alternatives 2: Maps and visualizationsThe first feature of Apple's new Maps is perhaps its strongest: its presentation of 2D and 3D road maps and satellite images. This is a major leap over how the previous iOS 5 Maps work, although there are still reasons you might want to consult other iOS apps for map information.
Introducing iOS 6.0 Maps
Using Maps Offline
2: Maps and visualizations
3: Transit directions
4: Map labels & local search
5: Routing & traffic
Apple's technology vs alternative maps: Maps and visualizations
This series comparing Apple's new iOS 6 Maps with other alternatives was
Providing useful maps and visualizations (this initial segment), finding transit routes, correctly labeling useful landmarks and businesses, searching for locations and finding directions between them (and through traffic).
The challengers include iOS 5's old Maps powered by Google; existing web app map services by Google and Nokia (available for free to iOS 6 users); the TomTom GPS app; and alternative mapping apps from Microsoft's Bing, MapQuest, OpenMaps, and Waze.
Vector map features
Apple's new Maps are a huge leap over iOS 5 maps in pure technology: the use of vector maps (mathematically described, resolution independent map information rather than static bitmapped pictures of map tiles) enables fast, sophisticated navigation of 2D and 3D views with fluid panning, rotation and perspective, in stark contrast to the flat, static map images provided by Apple's previous version of the app.
Using vectors also results in much less data use (an estimated 80 percent less), as your iPhone can download large areas of maps faster (eating up less of your data plan and battery).
As noted earlier, this efficiency enables iOS 6 Maps users to go offline and remain navigating with usable maps over a much wider area than the old version of Maps in iOS 5. Google's own Maps for Android also uses vectors, but it doesn't support the same scope of "configuration free" offline use as Apple' new Maps app.
Dynamic 2D presentation
In addition to better handling of offline maps, Apple uses its new vector maps to progressively reveal detail on the map, keeping things simple until you zoom in. An example of this progressive, dynamic information display is how the Central Freeway is depicted in the middle of San Francisco. First, compare how the official AAA road map has rendered this area on paper for decades (below).
Zoomed out, iOS 6 Maps shows you the route of the freeway, but emphasizes the busy street grid of the thoroughfares Van Ness, Mission and Valencia, portraying their paths on top of the overhead freeway (below). It's also clearly apparent that there is a surface road (13th Street) running underneath the length of the freeway, something that isn't as clear in the traditional paper road map above. Apple also correctly depicts McCoppin Street as ending, rather than running underneath the freeway, as AAA's paper map does.
Zoom in and the freeway itself is highlighted, with clear routes for all of its ramps (below). Apple's Maps intelligently decide when to highlight the freeway and when to focus attention on the streets that run under it; other parts of the same freeway that run over less important side streets don't do this shifting of views.
This intelligent, dynamic shifting of how roads are portrayed at different zoom levels also makes the direction of one way streets clearer. Apple similarly doesn't show building outlines until you're zoomed in to the level of seeing about 6 blocks (below, buildings are just beginning to fade in at this 2D zoom level).
It's not clear if this design decision was aimed at delivering map clarity or faster performance. However, it also tends to make Apple's maps look less detailed than Google's maps, which show subtle building outlines and lot markings even when zoomed out far further.
Regardless of one's personal preferences for showing useful detail vs. distracting clutter in mapping depictions, there's clearly a lot of thought that went into Apple's dynamic new Maps that isn't seen in competing products. Contrast the depictions of other mobile map vendors on the next page.

The Census Bureau is getting ready for the release of all the forms from its 1940 count.
On April 2, the National Archives will release a treasure trove of previously unavailable records from the 1940 Census count. The U.S. Census Bureau, understandably, is pretty excited about it, and that excitement has resulted in some tantalizing infographics to whet our appetites. In the one below, they compare the five largest U.S. cities in 1940 and 2010. Four (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia) are on both lists. But 1940s superpower Detroit has been replaced by Houston in 2010.
Another graphic looks at which states had the highest percentage of people in the labor force. The East Coast was a powerhouse in 1940, not so much in 2010:
And finally, for fun, the states with the highest ration of men to women:

One day, both of them went down to the river to catch fish.
Hi friends in usingenglish,
Let´s write a story absolutely original from the author-members of usingenglish.
I would write the first line and you could add your own thoughts to further the story till we could agree with one conclusion. You could either write a line or a paragraph. Any ideas are accepted. The next writer should build on the last scene of the story. Let´s start.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Richard. He lives on a treehouse near a river.
He lives with his little brother, Luke, who always tag along with him.
One day...(you continue the story)
One day, both of them went down to the river to catch fish.
On the way to the river, they heard a noise by the bush as though somebody is lurking on them.
However, they tried to be ignored eventhough they felt scaring. Because they heard that there were an unknown thing always follow the people in the village, they pretended to be ignore in order to find out what it was.
The sound kept following them and they also kept ignoring it.
They finally reached the river. Richard and Luke took a bath in the cool waters from morning till dawn.
Suddenly they heard a women screaming.They ran to find out what's happening as they believe there is no human being except them in this isolated island.......

It's difficult to describe, this feeling I have.
It's a feeling of being totally off the path in my life. It's an incredible burden and overshadows every move I make.
I know some of it is work and the economy. The normal worry of financial and family matters play into it, but this is more than that. This is complete darkness and fear.
It's not bipolar, it's not depression. My anxiety level is high and almost uncontrollable. I feel alone and separated from the people I love and those that love me.
The shadow that has fallen over me is suffocating. It's sucking the oxygen from my body and the energy from my soul.
The light has been hidden and the road to freedom blocked. I'm unable to see, or sense the future and am paralyzed by the past.
The bondage from this sensation controls me and my actions, it guides my steps and chains my thoughts.
It makes me want to hide from the world, to shrink away and disappear.
I wish I could put my finger on it, I wish I could control it and not allow it to control me. But I can't, not yet.

This weekend we had an event, Race on the Base. It was a lot of work but went over well. I somehow got another kids run to be in charge of. Man, those kids, I tell ya. So small and the parents. SO CRAZY. I thought regular kids runs were stressful. I'm pretty sure I lost 10 years of my life yelling at parents to stay on the sidewalk and reminding kids they had to walk their bikes in and out of the transition area. Wow. Alas, there were no crashes and everyone seemed happy with the event.
I got a major sunburn… on one side of my body.
And I forgot about these funny pictures taken while setting up…. You know, dropping cones, in the middle of the night. Man it was windy out there!
Cruising with the portapoties… one of my favorite things! :)
And perhaps my favorite picture, when I gave up trying to hook bike fencing together. How is that so hard? I always struggle with hooking them together. Oh the random things we do while working an event. Anyways, it was a good event and I think that everyone was happy with the outcome.
So I'm pretty much in denial of what is going on this Sunday… We leave Thursday at like 1 am, and then land around 7 and have to take a little baby plane into Little Rock. It's pretty much downtime… and then Sunday. UGH! Poor life choice! Well it should be at least fun to be with Tara, who I haven't gotten to see since Christmas. I'm obsessively checking the weather, which knock on wood, right now says sunny. It was flip flopping back and forth last week between rain and sun and now seems to be a sunny, chilly day, which I'll take over rain any day of the week.
I guess these texts really sum up how we are feeling towards the race. Goals? Finish!
There will be tears, there will be cursing and I'm sure a lot of hurt, but I know we can do it. This is the stupidest choice we've most likely ever made!

The answer is NO:
Scott Linebrink is having a brutal year out of the White Sox' bullpen, but give him credit for helping bring starting pitcher Jake Peavy to the South Side.
here's what happened when the Sox got Peavy on July 31:
When the Sox pursued Peavy in May, they asked reliever Scott Linebrink to help in "recruiting." Did Linebrink, a former Padre, and Peavy talk this time? "No, I didn't have any idea," he said. "They knew that I blew the save on the first one, so I guess they called in somebody else to close the deal."
When Linebrink "helped" we got nothing!
