I recently read that a Web site is now considered "a little gem from the past."1 This is a frightening thought, since many of us just got our Web sites up or are still working on getting there. We all need a Web site, but there's a paradigm shift in its use. Today's Web sites are static hubs offering social media tools that lead to more interesting, interactive areas. The best part is most of the social interactive tools ar efree.
Your job is to determine which social media work for your program and focus on developing one or two or three, depending on your availability and willingness to commit. The worst you can do is set up a tool and ignore it. All tools can and should be linked to your Web site (using those little widgets with links) for easy access by users. Here are my five favorite tools that give our program connectivity with students and businesses and offer value.
Facebook Fan Page
Degree of Difficulty: Easy
Set-up: 1-2 hours
Maintenance: 5–10 minutes per day. 1–2 entries weekly.
Having a presence on the most-used global social networking site (with over 400 million users) exposes your program to an audience you might not be reaching without it, and reinforces your activities to an existing clientele. Facebook is a "broad use" application. I use it to promote my events, post videos, links and pictures, press releases, and blog entries and to start discussions and interact with businesses, students and other fan pages. NACCE has a very active fan page and re-posts members' Facebook entries. I always post a new blog entry on my fan page, and to my delight I notice it gets re-posted on the NACCE page, giving my blog entry a little unexpected national attention. This is just one example of the viral affect of social media marketing.
Facebook Tip #1:Avoid confusion. Do not open a personal account using your program's name – thus inviting "friends" to join. Instead, create one page for your program: "a fan page" so people can join your page as a "fan." To do this you will first have to create a page from a personal Facebook account that does not have your program's name on it; otherwise you will end up with two pages for your program – one with friends and one with fans.
Degree of Difficulty: Medium. Requires inspiration and writing time.
Set-up: 4–8 hours
Maintenance: Minimum one entry per month
Blogging is an essential tool used to educate and inspire your audience and, surprisingly, is not about directly selling anything. It engages your audience by offering a short, but meaningful and thought-provoking read – and indirectly reinforces your program's image as a valuable resource or as offering expertise in a particular area. Today, blogging is such a mainstream (indirect) marketing tool for businesses that your program may appear dated or out of touch without a blog.
Blog Tip #1:Create a separate concept for your blog, which has its own URL. This is an opportunity for creativity and to give users an interesting place to go. Mine is called Look Forward to Monday.
Blog Tip #2: Only write when inspired. A blog entry should reflect the writer's unique and authentic voice and, above all, be short!
Blog Tip #3: Is there anyone in your department or program that loves to write? Make blogging a team effort.
Set-up: 20 minutes
Maintenance: 2 minutes a day (or automate it)
Twitter has been likened to a micro-blog that forces you to make your point in 140 characters or less. At the Governor's Conference on Entrepreneurship in California, I met the vice president of Twitter. I still have trouble with two-way interaction on Twitter, and the VP says he is working on making this more intuitive. Twitter is the perfect platform for mini-news, press release links, announcements, awards, and conference or event attendance. I tweet at events to give my followers some educational information about what is being discussed, in real time.
Twitter Tip #1:You can link your Twitter account with Facebook so it automatically tweets your Facebook status.
Twitter Tip #2:You can organize all your tweets and Facebook entries using HootSuite.com – a free social media management tool – offering you one place to post to your accounts. You can schedule entries in advance.
Twitter Tip #3:For a free "Twit-Torial," visit www.webmarketingtherapy.com/cart/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=23. You can find other useful social media tutorials on www.webmarketingtherapy.com.
Set-up: 1 hour
Maintenance: 10 minutes every couple of weeks
LinkedIn is often referred to as the professional's Facebook. Your program can have a page on LinkedIn and start discussions on topics of interest or you can announce events or courses. I like to use this platform to connect with other professionals, view their resumes and work history, join groups and participate in discussions. I am not the most pro-active user on this platform and usually join in others' discussions. LinkedIn is the first to go when I don't have time to keep up.
LinkedIn Tip #1:To get membership going, join other groups, and you will find members of other groups will join yours. Start discussions on your group, but also start discussions on other groups. It will gradually build awareness of your program.
Degree of Difficulty: Hard
Set-up: 40 hours
Maintenance: Up to 5 hours per week.
If you really want to blow it out of the water in terms of connecting your program to social interaction, you can create your own network. We used the ning.com platform – ready made open source networking software. We were fortunate to receive a modest grant from the Coleman Foundation to get this launched. It allows students and businesses to interact and is intended to build a database of localized information for start-ups and small business.
Ning Tip #1: Pitch your network idea to a prominent business community member or organization to get some help in terms of funding and building the site. After it's built you might get others to endorse your network. We recently received the local chamber of commerce endorsement – which will give this network some real traction.

Be careful here--history is circular and already we see the beginnings of a return to tradition and history as we become disillusioned by modernity. Hence all these young people wanting to study classics, a change which is especially noticeable in North America where the classics have been in dire straits--we are now seeing revival of classical methods of education. We are also seeing more people drawn to orthodox religion, which in itself is a fascinating shift.

As members of a society it's a different thing all together. Though I would definitely not say that our culture is in demise because we no longer live in a society that values tradition very highly.

Are you equating tradition with oppression??? Wow... I don't think I have anything to say to that.

In fact I don't think I could stand living in such an oppressive society. Although it's sad to see some old traditions go, I would be terrible if some hadn't gone (traditionally a woman's place is in the kitchen...).

Again, atheistic philosophy is a relatively new thing. As we all know, the ancients were mainly polytheistic, and until the so-called "enlightenment", western philosophy was always more or less monotheistic--whether or not ethics was based on their theism is another question.

Don't get too comfortable with modern philosophy... it is already on its way out ;)

You must also remember that philosophers used to have to accept the supremacy of the church or face a painful death. Now I'm not saying they were all atheists, but they couldn't just go around saying god didn't exist in a big style. Anyway, as William already pointed out, even if they did believe in God, that doesn't mean that they tried to base their ethics on God. Take Kant for example... he believed in God, and yet his ethics model has nothing to do with God.

Demise? Are we demising? I hadn't noticed.

I realize this is a very common view - I succumb to it myself on some
days - but I'm not sure it's justified. Moralists have been decrying
the moral state of contemporary society for as long as people have
recorded their complaints. This is doubtless justified. Humans
aren't perfect, and improvement is always possible, and very possibly
always advised. But the idea that each generation has been uniquely
depraved is also a common complaint, and this I feel is less justified
most of the time. I don't believe in Golden Ages. Not in a million
years would I choose to live in the time of Homer, or of Christ, or of
the Buddha, or indeed any other past age. (Of course, brief visits to
satisfy linguistic curiosity would be more than welcome. )

But much of the history of western society is about crisis-driven
renewal. The fundamental idea of Christianity is quite explicitly a
radical break from the past: a new covenant for all, ending in the
total annihilation of this bad world and the construction of a new,
just, humane world. This idea has driven so much intellectual and
political history of the west: peasant movements in the middle ages,
the foundation of religious orders, the reformation and
counter-reformation which had such vast political impact. Many
political movements from the 1700s until now on are framed in
chiliastic terms.

Even Marxism, though shorn of specific religious reference, is clearly
of Judeo-Christian parentage: an ever more evil world run by depraved
oppressors leading to a time of terrible persecution followed by a
historically inevitable vast and bloody battle between Good
(workers) and Evil (capitalists), in which Evil will necessarily be
vanquished and after which the Good live in a new, just world free of
suffering and oppression.

Even certain branches of environmentalism frame their warnings in
apocalyptic terms, but have opened their definition of the Elect to
all life on earth, not merely humans, and more radical conceptions
omit humans from the elect entirely. But the catastrophism is
basically the same, including a tendency to contemplate the suffering
of the non-elect with unseemly relish.

But there's nothing uniquely modern about people trying to break with
the past. Everyone who has lived with injustice probably wants to
break with the past.

It's only modern, western society which tries its hardest to
cut itself off from its own history and tradition--to its own
demise.

Nor is there any reason to insist it is necessarily good.

As you say, each generation is influenced deeply by the culture and
traditions into which it is born. I freely admit that I accept one
cultural idea from the Western tradition which owes its origin to
religious beliefs and that is this:

Progress is possible. Humanity can, through its own toil and
good-faith effort, improve itself.

Please note that I take this to mean that progress will always be
possible as long as there are humans around to worry about things. I
would not dare to suggest that we've got everything right in 2003, or
even that we'll have everything right in 3003. For 1000s of years
slavery was acceptable to most people. Until not too long ago
citizens of the United States voted for pro-slavery presidents. Most
would not, I suspect, do so in the 2004 election if such a candidate
becomes available.

Some traditions are awful. I've been in parts of Texas where instead
of saying "thank you" to someone for passing the salt they say "mighty
white of you." I was stunned the first time I heard that, and
apparently my facial expression was quite the thing. I didn't have to
say anything. The face I made was enough to get the person I was
dining with to actually think about what he'd just said, for
the first time in his life.

As part of humanity's long-term project of self-improvement, every
generation is going to challenge some traditions. Some will be
accepted. Some will be discarded, including some many people hold
dear. Traditions are part of our history, and should certainly be
included in deliberations about Life, the Universe and Everything - it
let's us see where people have gone before - but there's no reason to
give it any unique status in our deliberations.
Guess what? Tradition is not bad,

Are you actually suggesting that the number of people who believe something changes the truth?

Between this contigent view of reality and the disbelief in objectivity I suddenly find I have to confront the idea the post-modernism has made its way to church.

Please say it ain't so!Be careful here--history is circular and already we see the beginnings of a return to tradition and history as we become disillusioned by modernity. Hence all these young people wanting to study classics, a change which is especially noticeable in North America where the classics have been in dire straits--we are now seeing revival of classical methods of education. We are also seeing more people drawn to orthodox religion, which in itself is a fascinating shift.

Don't get too comfortable with modern philosophy... it is already on its way out

What does it mean, or doesn't mean??? (I'm not from an english-speaking culture)

"mighty white of you."

Every year, at least 116 million adult Americans experience chronic pain, a condition that costs the nation between $560 billion and $635 billion annually, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. Much of this pain is preventable or could be better managed, added the committee that wrote the report. The committee called for coordinated, national efforts of public and private organizations to create a cultural transformation in how the nation understands and approaches pain management and prevention. Some of the recommended changes can be implemented by the end of 2012 while others should be in place by 2015 and maintained as ongoing efforts.
"Given the large number of people who experience pain and the enormous cost in terms of both dollars and the suffering experienced by individuals and their families, it is clear that pain is a major public health problem in America," said committee chair Philip Pizzo, dean, Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Professor of Pediatrics, and professor of microbiology and immunology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, Calif. "All too often, prevention and treatment of pain are delayed, inaccessible, or inadequate. Patients, health care providers, and our society need to overcome misperceptions and biases about pain. We have effective tools and services to tackle the many factors that influence pain and we need to apply them expeditiously through an integrated approach tailored to each patient."
A new analysis undertaken as part of the study finds that the medical costs of pain care and the economic costs related to disability days and lost wages and productivity amount to at least $560 billion to $635 billion annually. Because the range does not include costs associated with pain in children or military personnel, it is a conservative estimate.
Health care providers, insurers, and the public need to understand that although pain is universal, it is experienced uniquely by each person and care –which often requires a combination of therapies and coping techniques — must be tailored, the report says. Pain is more than a physical symptom and is not always resolved by curing the underlying condition. Persistent pain can cause changes in the nervous system and become a distinct chronic disease. Moreover, people's experience of pain can be influenced by genes, cultural attitudes toward hardships, stress, depression, ability to understand health information, and other behavioral, cultural, and emotional factors.
Successful treatment, management, and prevention of pain requires an integrated, approach that responds to all the factors that influence pain, the committee concluded. The majority of care and management should take place through primary care providers and patient self-management with specialty care services reserved for more complex cases. Health care organizations should take the lead in developing innovative approaches and materials to coach and empower patients in self-management.
Training programs for dentists, nurses, physicians, psychologists, and other health professionals should include pain education in their curricula and promote interdisciplinary learning, the report says. Many health care professionals are not adequately prepared to provide the full range of pain care or to guide patients in self-managing chronic pain. For example, a recent study found that only five of the nation's 133 medical schools have required courses on pain and just 17 offer elective courses. Licensing and certification exams should include assessment of pain-related knowledge and capabilities. Programs that train specialists or offer training in advanced pain care need to be expanded.
The report calls on Medicare, Medicaid, workers' compensation programs, and private health plans to find ways to cover interdisciplinary pain care. Individualized care requires adequate time to counsel patients and families, consultation with multiple providers, and often more than one form of therapy, but current reimbursement systems are not designed to efficiently pay for this kind of approach and health care organizations are not set up for integrated patient management.
Due to its significant toll on individuals and society, pain warrants a higher level of attention and resources within the National Institutes of Health. The report recommends that NIH designate a lead institute to move pain research forward and increase the scope and resources of its existing Pain Consortium. NIH, academic researchers, and other public organizations should collaborate with private firms to advance research and development of new and improved therapies.

Learn more about SanDisk and Kaminario indexing 100 million emails and attachments at a processing rate of 7.2M messages per day
SanDisk, a top-tier provider of flash storage technology, with multinational businesses across retail consumer goods, OEM relationships with phone and computing device manufacturers, and a provider of enterprise data center and cloud solutions, faced mounting eDiscovery challenges that, if not managed properly, would put the company at risk with time-consuming litigation matters, non-compliance of Records and Information Management (RIM) Governance, and eDiscovery-related cost overruns.
SanDisk Company Profile:
To alleviate and address these eDiscovery challenges, SanDisk chose to deploy an end-to-end solution comprised of eDiscovery and global archiving software running on enterprise-class flash storage.
SanDisk/Kaminario: indexed 100 million emails and attachments at a processing rate of 7.2M messages per day
The SanDisk eDiscovery solution has improved the time and cost spent by the legal department in managing eDiscovery issues and enhanced the legal department's ability to mitigate litigation risks. As part of the solution, a centralized global archive was also deployed to help employees retain, manage and access email.
With over 5,900 employees supporting SanDisk business in over 100 countries for consumer products, OEM relationships, and enterprise & cloud solutions, SanDisk eDiscovery challenges are complex and diversified.
SanDisk, founded in 1988, and with over 25 years of operations, accumulated eDiscovery challenges where indexing, searching, sorting, and archiving processes have become time-consuming and operationally expensive.
SanDisk employees send and receive more than 500,000 to 1 million emails per day. SanDisk IT maintains a corporate email archive that stores over 21 Terabytes (TB) of data. The elimination of local Microsoft Outlook Exchange PST File archiving also required the need to transition to a centralized approach for compliant data retention.
SanDisk email, at 25,000 pages per gigabyte (GB), is more than 0.5 billion pages of documents, which reside in the SanDisk email archive. Costs of searching and reviewing an email archive of this particular size needed to improve due to traditional approaches would not be able to perform at the current volume.
Cost reduction was necessary, considering an attorney generally takes 167 hours to read one GB of email (about 20,000 emails).
The SanDisk eDiscovery solution needed to implement the following:
Initially, SanDisk IT Department planned on the deployment of traditional spinning hard disk storage for the SanDisk eDiscovery infrastructure. After performance testing and eDiscovery trials in preparation for the complex data migration, the traditional HDDs proved to not meet the performance requirements of SanDisk and would increase the migration risk and considerably lengthen the project implementation timeline.
Based on trial runs, SanDisk IT estimated that to load, index and archive these quarter of a billion emails (plus the attachments) onto traditional HDD storage, an unacceptable lead time of 50 days (processing rate of 2 million emails per day) would be required.
HDD storage was deemed unusable, as its use would jeopardize the release of the eDiscovery capabilities to the SanDisk legal team, and eventually, the company-wide deployment of the powerful email search and archive functionality.
To accelerate the eDiscovery timetable, SanDisk CIO, Ravi Naik, assigned a team of engineers to evaluate the performance of several all-flash storage arrays that would serve as an alternative to HDDs for this particular ultra-high performance application. The hypothesis that drove this decision was that low latency (< 0.5 millisecond) flash storage would virtually eliminate the immense email indexing challenge.
SanDisk IT and SanDisk attorneys deployed HP Autonomy eDiscovery solution so they could migrate data from Microsoft Exchange and the legacy EVault archiving platforms into HP Autonomy.
In total, more than 250 million messages were processed — and then eventually reduced to 100 million unique indexed messages (generating 11TB of data) on the Autonomy platform.
Kaminario all-flash storage array was selected which comprises thirty two 800GB capacity SanDisk Optimus Extreme™ Solid State Drive (SSD) from SanDisk. The combination of this enterprise-class SSD with the Kaminario all-flash array offers predictable, sustained performance, superior reliability and high endurance. The Kaminario architecture is scalable and features proprietary technology, including N + 1 redundancy to ensure the high resilience and uptime of SSDs.
With the SanDisk/Kaminario all-flash solution, the data dilemma was solved. Against a production workload, HP Autonomy indexed 100 million emails and attachments in just 12 days, averaging 7.2M messages per day—a result that surpassed even the most optimistic estimates. That processing time was a fraction of the 50 days (two million emails a day) that it took conventional HDDs to complete the same migration task. The all-flash array storage solution achieved ultra-high performance, high IOPS (input/output operations per second) rates, low latency and high resilience. The architecture was optimized for data protection and it proved to have high reliability and high availability.
The world of digital content grows exponentially every day. From mobile devices to data centers, SanDisk delivers the peace of mind that data is readily available and reliable, even in the most challenging environments.
It's all part of delivering on our mission to enrich people's lives through digital storage anytime, anywhere. Since 1988, companies and consumers around the world have counted on our storage solutions in many areas, including:

An ex-TSA worker and former National Guardsman accused of making 9/11-related threats against Los Angeles International Airport didn't show any red flags, according to those who knew him.
Nna Alpha Onuoha, who was arrested Tuesday night at a Riverside church, had been living in Inglewood at a home for U.S. Veterans and served for eight years as an infantryman in the National Guard.
U.S. Army records show that Onuoha was deployed to Kosovo from 2005 to 2006 — where he earned the rank of specialist and a handful of medals. He participated in the U.S. Vets initiative in Los Angeles, which offers services to service members adjusting to civilian life.
It was unclear when exactly Onuoha first joined U.S. Vets, but officials said he got his job with the TSA six years ago through the program. He met regularly with a case worker for three years after that, the officials said, and at some point, moved into the "permanent supportive housing" in Inglewood.
Such housing is available to veterans who meet certain criteria, such as financial stability, said Stephen Peck, the president and CEO of U.S. Vets. Support services were available to Onuoha at the Inglewood building, Peck said, but there were no signs he needed them.
"Every morning he had his TSA uniform on and he went to work, he came home at night," said Judy Biggs, the vice president for development at U.S. Vets. "There was absolutely no sign at all that there was anything wrong."
"People are all different, and something happened that changed this guy," Peck added. "We just don't know."
Brad Bridwell, director of community development for a Cloudbreak Communities site in Inglewood — where hundreds of veterans live in low-cost apartments as they try to reintegrate into society — described Onuoha as a model tenant who never caused trouble.
"All the things that we look for to involve a greater level of services weren't there in this case," he said.
Larry Vaughn, a Cloudbreak employee who interacts with the veterans, described Onuoha as someone who was "always nice, always had a great smile."
"Every interaction I had with him was great," Vaughn said.
Staff members only learned of his resignation from the TSA when FBI agents showed up Tuesday to search the apartment.
During the search, authorities discovered a note taped inside a closet, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. The note, she added, contained "an unspecified threat citing the 9/11/13 anniversary."
It appeared that Onuoha had "cleared out" of the apartment before his arrest, Eimiller said.
Authorities took Onuoha's threats seriously enough Tuesday that they launched a multi-agency search and considered releasing Onuoha's name to the public before he was apprehended, sources told The Times.
However, as of early Wednesday, authorities said they had not yet found any weapons or bomb-making materials.
Law enforcement sources said he "fully cooperated" after being stopped near a Riverside church where a security guard noticed him sleeping in a van.
The security guard at Harvest Christian Fellowship church asked him to leave about 11 p.m., which he did, only to come back, Riverside Police Lt. Guy Toussaint said.
When Onuoha returned, the guard wrote down the New York license plate of the van and called Riverside police, who rushed to the church about 11:40 p.m.
The Joint Terrorism Task force — including FBI agents who had been tracking Onuoha — also headed to the location. Once there, a Riverside police SWAT team approached the parking lot, Toussaint said.
"As they were approaching, he drove off. We think he was just leaving and didn't see the SWAT officers coming," Toussaint said. "They made a high-risk felony stop and he fully cooperated."
A subsequent search recovered several packages and a large red cross near the church, but no weapons or explosives. A similar cross appeared in photos that were on a website where several rambling letters signed by Onuoha include references to 9/11 and the "end of the world." He also ranted about a June incident that sources said led to Onuoha's TSA suspension when he chastised a teenage girl about her attire.
Another 17-page letter harshly criticizes the United States, saying "America is nothing but a great Harlot that corrupts the innocent." The letter, dated Aug. 25, promised to deliver a "real message" on Wednesday, the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Darious Johnson may be the fastest guy in Gadsden County.
And he is one of reasons for all the optimism at East Gadsden High School.
It's finally time for football.
Johnson is a senior and Jaguar veteran who will start the season as a receiver and cornerback.
But he is also a track standout and proved it last spring when he came in second in the 300 meter hurdles at the Class 2A state championship finals at Winter Park. And that was after winning the preliminary and a lot of other track meets to get there.

Makeup Artist Melanie Mills gets a 10 for her incredible cosmetic transformations on "Dancing With The Stars." The Emmy Award-winning makeup artist lent her makeup magic to 11 seasons of the hit ABC competitive dance show. And while she's moved on from the show to do makeup for Nickelodeon's "Sam and Cat," the Gleam beauty brand she created while working on "Dancing With The Stars" is still a hit on set. "Elizabeth Berkley is a fan of the Gleam products and she's been using it this season," Mills said of the former Saved By The Bell Star who is currently competing on the show.
Gleam By Melanie Mills is a line of Body Radiance cream, powder and lip-gloss that's designed to make you glow like a superstar. "A lot of self tanner is used on the set of 'Dancing With The Stars,'" Mills added. "On show days, the dancers and celebrity contestants always wanted the tanner even darker. I needed to create body makeup that didn't stain the clothes or couldn't be washed out so I came up with Gleam Body Radiance, which comes in four shades and really goes on like liquid gold. When celebrities started driving to my house to get the product, I knew we had something here."
Singer Brandy Norwood, who competed on the eleventh season of the show, worked with Mills to create the darkest shade of Gleam Body Radiance. Legendary soul singer Gladys Knight also became a loyal fan of the line after using it on season 14 of "Dancing With The Stars."
"There's not many body makeup products on the market for darker skin tones," Mills added. "What's great about Gleam is that all four shades can used on every skin tone to get different effects."
The Radiant Dust in Mills line is also available in four shades and can dusted all over skin for a glamorous shimmer. "This product is really built for Miami," Mills said. "It smells good and goes on nicely over the Gleam. I like to wear it when I'm at the beach. You can also dust it on your legs to cover small scars or veins."
Mills also just released a book, Glitter & Glam, to share makeup tips and celebrate how to bring out your inner sparkle. "I was always a huge fan of Kevyn Aucoin and his books and felt there was a need for a new book to have fun with makeup," Mills mentioned. "My philosophy is that makeup is an accessory. You have to play with it and have fun."
In the book, Mills wanted to feature as many looks and age ranges as possible so she features famous faces such as Norwood, 34 and 20-year-old singing sensation Ariana Grande. "I'm so proud of this book and it took almost four years to complete it," Mills added. "I got to create looks for Jennette McCurdy, Jennifer Grey, Audrina Patridge, Willa Ford, Anna Trebunskaya and many others."
Some of the highlights of the book include making over Grande as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and transforming Norwood into an Egyptian queen and Josephine Baker. While the moisturizing Gleam Body Radiance and Radiant Dust are flying off store shelves, Mills' Lip Radiance glosses are quickly becoming an industry favorite. Available in seven highly pigmented shades, this gloss goes on smooth, lasts and doesn't feel sticky on the lips. "This product is really like if lipstick an lip-gloss had a baby!" Mills exclaimed. "I'm big on my products hydrating, looking good and feeling good when you put it on."
With the holidays just around the corner, Mills advises to let it glow. "Bordeaux lips are really in now and will be perfect for the holidays," Mills said. "The holidays are all about sparkle and fun with beautiful, clean brows and long, lush lashes. Put a pop of gold dust on your eyelids. Everyone should glow for the holidays."
Gleam products Cost $15-$59 and are available at GBS The Beauty Store, which has locations in Aventura, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Fort Lauderdale, East Boca Raton and West Boca Raton. Call 800-565-3233 or visit Gbsbeauty.com.
Mills will is making special appearances at the following GBS locations to meet with fans and autograph copies of her book:

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef said Monday he has canceled his landmark TV show, which broke ground by lambasting the nation's politicians and elites and mocking the pro-military fervor of the past year. Youssef said the atmosphere in the country no longer allows for political satire.
Youssef told a news conference that Saudi-based MBC-Misr TV, which had been carrying his show, had come under pressure to halt it, though he would not say from whom.
Since the military's ouster last summer of the Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, Egypt has seen a surge in nationalism that tolerates little criticism of the army or its former chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who will now be president after winning last week's election in a landslide. Youssef has come under heavy denunciations from backers of the military for his often biting satires of the fervor.
"I'm not a revolutionary and I'm not a warrior. I was expressing my views once a week. The present climate in Egypt is not suitable for a political satire program," Youssef told reporters. "I'm tired of struggling and worrying about my safety and that of my family."
"Stopping the program sends a much stronger message than if it continued," he said.
Youssef's weekly show, "ElBernameg" — Arabic for "The Program" — was launched after the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak and had its heyday during the one-year presidency of Morsi. Youssef stung Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists, as well as liberal politicians and media personalities, with jokes, skits and musical numbers. At one point, he was put under criminal investigation during Morsi's presidency after complaints he insulted the presidency.
But the show has faced more troubles since Morsi's ouster, when he turned his attention more on the military.
The privately owned Egyptian station CBC that was airing the show at the time refused to broadcast one episode, prompting Youssef to jump to MBC-Misr. Transmission of several of his episodes with that station was jammed, but it was never clear who was behind the interference.
The show went on a hiatus soon before campaigning began for last week's presidential election, in which el-Sissi was seen from the start as the certain winner. Youssef said that was a decision by taken the station in hopes of protecting the program and ensuring its continuation.
Youssef's announcement Monday means it will not be returning. At the news conference, he posed with the show's staff of around 50 people, some of them tearful, holding a sign that read, "The End," in Arabic and English.
"In a nutshell, we've gone as far as we can," Youssef said. "We are tired of moving from one network to another network and being under emotional pressure." He said MBC-Misr "tried as much as they could but the pressure was immense."
He said he had offers by non-Arab TV stations to air the show, but declined them because he was concerned he would be branded a "traitor" by the jingoistic pro-military media in Egypt. "Egypt is the program's home. It cannot be broadcast from abroad," he said.
Asked what message he would have for the party or person behind MBC-Misr's decision to stop airing the program, Youssef said: "Why are you scared?" His staff applauded.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Viewers watching on television as politicians and guests arrived for the State of the Union address may have been wondering: What happened to Jill Biden's arm?
The wife of Vice President Joe Biden arrived in the House chamber Tuesday night sporting a camouflage-patterned cast draped in a purple scarf. It was the first time she'd been spotted in public wearing the cast.
The vice president's office says the second lady broke her left wrist last week after slipping and falling. She's expecting to be wearing a cast for about six weeks.
Biden's office says the icy weather blanketing much of the U.S. wasn't the culprit in the fall.
In addition to her duties as second lady, Biden teaches at a community college. She's also an advocate for military families.

text: My daughter is almost 4 months old. I've had no problems breastfeeding until this last week. I noticed while pumping that I was getting less. I used to get at least 3 oz from the left breast and 5+ from the right during one pumping session (20 minutes). Now, especially friday and this weekend, I'm getting about 1/2 oz from the left and about 1 - 1 1/2 from the right. I'm pumping 20 minutes at a time, just as I have this whole time. I've tried increaseing the number of times I pump and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm worrying that my daughter is even getting enough when I put her to the breast now. All weekend she's been more fussy, she seems to get frusterated at the breast, pulls away and arches her back. I just ordered some Fenugreek because I read it may help, but it won't arrive until Tuesday. What else can I do? I'm not ready to be done breastfeeding! I had some heavy bleeding at the end of the week before last leading into the first of last week, so I guess my period has returned. Is that what's caused this??? Can your supply recover??? What can I do?

H&M to push the boundaries of their menswear collection
H&M have decided to put a little more elbow grease into their menswear line, focusing on a sort of premium range that will be at thirty stores worldwide. Although no mention is made of COS in the article, it's likely that the success of their upscale big brother has led them to the conclusion that men will gladly pay more for higher quality.

As a photographer, I'm often asked by friends or even people I meet which camera is best suited for day-to-day carry around purposes? Usually, they're thinking about mid-to-higher-end compact cameras like the PowerShot G12 or COOLPIX P7700 and they describe them as "not as heavy and obtrusive as a DSLR but still capable of taking a good picture…" Well, cameras don't take pictures, photographers do, and for me, these all represent something extra I'd have to commit to carrying around all day and they don't provide enough advantage over my iPhone, for example, to make it worth the trouble. If I'm going to carry "something extra" it's going to be my DSLRs. Either I'm setting out to do photography deliberately, in which case I bring everything, or I'm caught off guard and always have my phone on me. I don't find many use cases in between.
I use the DSLR when I'm out looking for pictures and the iPhone when the picture finds me.
Here's a little gallery of some of my iPhone pictures. All taken with the built-in camera app only, none are cropped and only a couple have been toned a little in Photoshop. Please use the share buttons below and comment if this was interesting to you!

IT Management Slideshow: Make Your Ideas Bulletproof
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 10-28-2010
It's a classic corporate scene: A CIO presents a well-researched IT initiative to other department heads and senior managers. While the idea arrives with risks, the CIO is confident that all "deal killer" arguments can be addressed. But, the push-back is even more fierce than anticipated. Your CFO argues that there's no cost justification for making any changes. Your senior marketing folks bring up several frightening "what if" scenarios that would surely derail their department's mission. Your CEO listens to it all and shakes his head, crushing your confidence without saying a word. If your initiative isn't dead after this, it's certainly on life support. If all of this sounds familiar, take heart. The new book, Buy-In: Saving Your Good Idea from Getting Shot Down (Harvard Business Review Press/available now), presents effective strategies to win over those who want to slay your great ideas and derail your objectives. Authors John P. Kotter and Lorne A. Whitehead explore obstacles such as fear mongering, character assassination and "death by delay." The authors also offer tactics that can showcase your skills as an IT leader. Kotter is a professor of leadership at Harvard Business School. Whitehead is leader of education innovation at the University of British Columbia, where he is also a chairperson in the department of physics and astronomy. Here are highlights from their book:

Results in on why life, the universe and everything exists
10-year study indicates that theoretically it shouldn't
It's one of the most difficult questions that human philosophy and science have ever faced: Why are we here? Why is the universe and all that's in it here?
The question becomes particularly knotty when one reflects on modern physics and the issue of antimatter. Theory shows that at the creation of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been called into existence.
The trouble here is that when matter meets antimatter, both are instantly annihilated in a devastating blast of energy. Thus, according to theory, everything should have swiftly become nothing again. Instead, much much later, we see a universe in which there's a lot of normal matter - though certainly very thinly spread out - and almost no antimatter at all.
What boffinry can't account for is why there should have been more matter than antimatter at the beginning, and thus how it is that life, the universe and everything comes to be in existence now.
"The question is: why was there an excess of one over the other in the first place?" says Pieter Mumm, physicist at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. "There are lots of theories attempting to explain the imbalance, but there's no experimental evidence to show that any of them can account for it. It's a huge mystery on the level of asking why the universe is here. Accepted physics can't explain it."
Mumm and his colleagues had rather been hoping to sort this out by conducting a 10-year probe into neutron decay at the NIST Centre for Neutron Research. There are two ways for a neutron to decay: both result in a proton, an electron and an electron antineutrino, but they come out in different configurations. If the lengthy investigation had shown that either path was more commonly taken than the other, this would have given the physicists a handle on just why anything now exists.
Sadly from the point of view of an answer to the Great Question, no such difference could be detected. Still, Mumm and the crew aren't too downhearted as their results, at least, have shut off various speculative theories.
"We have placed very tight constraints on what these theories can say," Mumm says. "We have given theory something to work with. And if we can modify our detector successfully, we can envision limiting large classes of theories. It will help ensure the physics community avoids traveling down blind alleys."
The research is published in Physical Review Letters, and there's commentary for laymen by NIST here. ®

Though the Senate health reform bill released Wednesday didn't contain the extreme abortion coverage restriction attached to the House bill, the bitter fight over abortion funding in healthcare reform isn't over. Senator Orrin Hatch has already promised to offer his own version of the House's Stupak amendment when the bill comes to the floor, and even if the bill makes it out of the Senate without it, another fight over the restrictions is all but inevitable when two bills go to conference.
The Senate bill offers prochoice advocates hope of reversing the disastrous House vote. But to keep Stupak's restrictions out of a Senate bill and, most importantly, the final legislation, it's necessary to understand why the well-organized and well-funded women's health movement wasn't able to avert the "Saturday night massacre" in the first place.
Consideration of the Stupak amendment, which would strip abortion coverage even from women who pay for premiums through the health insurance exchange with their own money if they use any federal subsidy at all, shouldn't have come as a shock. Similar amendments had been afloat in both the House and Senate earlier this summer. And throughout that time, Stupak and his antiabortion colleagues had been threatening to do exactly as they did. What's more, despite prochoice gains in the last two election cycles, the House still doesn't have a prochoice majority. And indeed, a number of prochoice leaders report being unsurprised that antichoice House Democrats forced a vote on the extreme measure.
Even so, at least some of the Stupak problem was about how women's advocates played the game: extremely nicely. Women's groups were measured in their politics, trying hard to get along and keeping their gripes and dissatisfactions to themselves. But such good behavior rarely does well in Washington. And against the kind of strong-arm techniques that the bishops and antichoice Democrats wielded, it didn't stand a chance.
Stupak is even more of an insult to prochoice groups when you consider what they really wanted: to have abortion be treated as an integral part of healthcare. Rather than being paid for with dollars that are practically fingerprinted at every turn, abortion, in this view, would be more like a vasectomy–a routine, if personally delicate, outpatient procedure. But hoping not to muddy the overall health reform process, advocates tried, at first, to leave abortion politics out of the legislation. The tack was eminently reasonable; health reform, after all, was a much bigger issue. Why did abortion have to get mentioned at all?
By the end of June, they had their answer. Nineteen Democrats, including Bart Stupak, sent a letter to Pelosi announcing they would not "we cannot support any healthcare reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health insurance plan," making it clear that the high-minded effort to keep a fight over abortion out of healthcare reform hadn't worked. Stupak's demand meant changing the status quo on abortion and indeed his amendment would ultimately result in many women losing abortion coverage they already have. It would also likely erode abortion coverage throughout the entire insurance industry, public and private, according to a a report from the George Washington University School of Public Health.

On Tuesday, the Grigg-Lewis Foundation proudly announced a pledge of $4 million to the Lockport Ice Arena and Sports Center, or LIASC, to go toward the construction of a two-pad ice arena in downtown Lockport.
"It was through the efforts of the Grigg-Lewis Foundation and State Senator Maziarz that we were able to take an idea, construction of a state-of-the-art hockey arena in Lockport, and get to this point," said LIASC President John Ottaviano. "Their partnership allowed our board to bring in experts to craft a business plan, secure the ideal downtown site, and create a real and implementable design for our vision. For the Grigg-Lewis Foundation to go a step further and commit this level of funding is amazing. I greatly appreciate the trust they have put in us."
Grigg-Lewis board President Christa Caldwell stated, "While this is the largest donation the foundation has ever made, it closely reflects the interest that our founder, Henrietta Grigg Lewis, had for the youth of our community."
The $14 million project involves the construction of an 84,000-square-foot facility at 34 Chestnut St. In addition to two sheets of ice and ample seating, the facility will house a pro shop, performance training center, and restaurant, while providing additional tenant opportunities. According to the business plan, the project creates a recreational hub by meeting the tremendous need for ice time in the region, while becoming a community asset. It is anticipated that the facility will be well positioned to host multiple hockey tournaments on an annual basis and bring thousands of people to local hotels, shops and restaurants.
The LIASC board was formed in 2009 to see the project come to fruition and to create new critical mass in the heart of Niagara County. According to Lockport Mayor Michael Tucker, "This project will propel our city forward. It's incredibly bold for the foundation to step up like this, and it shows their full understanding of how the arena can positively shape Lockport and its surroundings for decades to come."
Ottaviano added, "We have been talking to various funding sources for years now and everybody is very interested in participating, but leery of being the first money in. This commitment by the Grigg-Lewis Foundation is the key domino that will allow us to secure a blend of private financing, tax credits, energy incentives, and community pledges to complete the project."

When Vincent Kennedy McMahon bought the Capitol Wrestling Corporation from his father, Vincent J. McMahon, in 1982, he effectively carved the ancient sport of wrestling into two distinct categories: the real thing, and the really fun thing. Greco-Roman combat became a never-ending struggle between larger-than-life Faces and Heels, battling in a rigorously maintained kayfabe continuity of feuds and fragile alliances. Pro wrestling cut a fine distinction between sports and entertainment, athletes and superheroes. As concepts go, McMahon's World Wrestling Federation arrived on the scene ready-made for video game adaptation.
It didn't take long for gaming to jump into the squared circle with both feet... and a steel chair.

In an interview with Jazz Magazine in the early 1970s, Dharma, as a collective voice, outlined their method: "".Evidence of these ideas can be heard immediately on listening to Mr Robinson, the first album by the Dharma Quintet , for whom community living seemed obvious, in order to add to the aforementioned cohesion. Through this, the group members played together on a daily basis, trying out things which were worked on day in, day out. They were also listening to a lot of records, with of course a preference for free jazz, but not forgetting Miles Davis in his electric period, notably for the keyboards of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea . To which should be added esthetical-political concerns based on a refusal of hierarchy, and a desire to escape from a restrictive academic approach…It was within this framework that Jef Sicard and Gérard Coppéré (saxophones, flute, bass clarinet), Patricio Villarroel (electric and acoustic piano), Michel Gladieux (bass) and Jacques Mahieux (drums) formed the first version of a collective united by structured intentions. Because, within Dharma, individual improvisation cannot be envisaged outside of a clearly designated framework, even non-tempo. The result is a beneficial cohesion, and moments of great beauty born of a collective excitement and giving rise to ambiances which seemed almost possessed. The use of modes could seem to link Mr Robinson to the spiritual jazz of the past but that is without taking into account the fact that the benevolent spirit of Eric Dolphy seems to watch over this album. In France, a similar desire for cohesion could be found in the Cohelmec Ensemble , who had parallel preoccupations, to the point where their bassist, François Méchali, ended up by joining Dharma: there is unfortunately no recorded trace of this, just the memories.As a quintet, with however some personnel changes, Dharma recorded three albums (there is also one as a trio, under the name of Dharma Trio), which are all of fundamental importance (Dharma would also accompany, and to great effect, the songs of Jean-Marie Vivier and Colette Magny). Individually, the members would record with musicians passing through (notably Anthony Ortega, Dave Burrell) and participated in other key groups including Machi Oul and Full Moon Ensemble.

Student testimonial about importance of practicum in their educational experience:
My practicum experience gave me invaluable, hands-on public health experience that helped to shape my career. I had an interest in violence prevention and knew that I wanted to work at the local level, so I reached out to the New Orleans Health Department to arrange a practicum. I wound up shaping the department's emerging program to address violence as a public health issue, wrote grant proposals, and learned first-hand from brilliant public health leaders. My practicum experience helped me to develop content expertise and on-the-job skills needed by the local health department. At the end of the summer, I was hired on for a full-time position with the New Orleans Health Department, where I have worked for 4+ years. This isn't a typical practicum experience – not all internships turn into jobs – but my experience shows how the practicum can serve as on-ramp for future career opportunities in public health.

My memory's always been decent...but it's scary how I've been started forgetting a lot of things these last couple of years
le angst
I have a photographic memory. Unfortunately, I also have a monkey operating the camera.
Well, it wasn't all bad in high school anyway, if I stared blankly at a study guide I could remember everything on it, down to its position. I'm just equally likely to remember all of the details of something completely random, like the wood grain of a drumstick. I can only recall particular details (to impressive accuracy) about people, but even in a class of 30 there were about 10 people I never remembered the name of in high school.
Normally, I forget most of them the next day. And since I can't control the pictures, I have never imprinted any of the shock site pictures into my mind, which is a winner.
I have a good memory. Sometimes my mind wanders and I cant remember certain things i want to, but then can remember things i dont need to remember.
LexusKing & BimmerQueen
My memory is odd it remembers all the little things nobody notices or just assumes for granted and remembers very specific things in the past events of my life, but lol my memory is worth shit when it comes to remembering what i was supposed to do or when i have an appt. or etc. common sense type of stuff lol that shit flies right straight through my head as though i was a ghost and the stuff was basicly a rock flying through my ghostly head.
I think I'm pretty good with memory, compared to others. I am always the resourceful one in the group it seems, I can recall facts/images immediately, I think it's called a photographic memory. But, of course I am prone to being the typical forgetful person that walks into a room and can't remember what I needed to do in there the minute before!
looking for the truth
I think my memory is decent. It used to be better, though. Sometimes I try to recall certain things resulting in me remembering nothing at the moment. Then a few hours or days later, It comes to me miraculously.
"The more you think about something, the more you're gonna remember it." I've been told this many times, and it results to be true.
!! ↖(^▽^)↗
well...about memory...i cant remember my memories when i was like 4-7Years old
and since now everything i do last Night i cant remember it much...
i have a Bad memory
A new year..and more Anime xD
Wouldn't be able to tell you what I did the other day let alone the past week!
넌 아름답기만 한 기억으로
I don't know why but incredibly selective.
I remember lots of things a lot of people don't remember yet forget a lot of things too.
[Excuzzes me~]
Terrible. I don't remember what forum topic I even posted in last, which was 5 seconds ago.
you only yolo once
relatively s**t!
Im back guys! Sorry for the long Hiatus but i kinda got my Mac stolen and that!
Ha ya, sounds interesting. Least i don't feel too bad about my memory now, no offense to anyone, that is. But ya i hate walking into a room going what the hell was i supposed to get in here? Then i'll walk out and not even 30 seconds later i'll be like dangitttttt i know what i was supposed to get. And ya i even forget about what forumn topic i post on so i'll be looking and just say forget it. When it comes with names and faces i couldn't tell you whose who, def. not my forte. However since i've been shy, i've been kind of the observant one, and just watch people. So people that i'd like to be friends with or just thought where cool, i still see one day, and remember their name and how i know them. Yet i couldnt tell you what i ate for dinner yesterday.
Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango daikazoku
I have a photographic memory, but the pictures look like they were taken in the 1920's.
People like me should be herded in to ditches and shot.
my long term memory is great, but my short term memory will falter at times. but it's ok i guess.
I'm hardly active.
what was the question again?

Danganronpa [PSP] - Game discussion
Seeing as the sequel is just around the corner (and the SA Let's Play thread just recently finished the third chapter of the first title), I figured that now would be a good time to make this thread.....
Anyway, this is a thread to discuss the "Super High School Level" mystery game that is Danganronpa! For those unfamiliar, this is a VN-type of game that involves a group of quirky students with specific talents who all get trapped in a school run by a demented robot bear named Monokuma (or Monobear, as he's better known as by us English-speakers at this point), who proclaims that the only way to escape from the Academy of Despair is to graduate..... through murder. Just about anyone familiar with this title will tell you that this game can be described as a fusion of Phoenix Wright and Battle Royale, (right down to each chapter containing a climactic courtroom battle, which has some fun gameplay mechanics!). Yes, with its colorful cast, kickass soundtrack, and a plot filled with thrills, chills, and spills...... well, this is definitely one wicked mystery title to watch out for.....
"But wait", you may ask. "Isn't this some niche Japan-only title? How can we discuss that here??" No worries there! See, thanks to a certain Let's Play thread on Something Awful, This franchise has gotten the exposure it deserves to the western audience. And it's a great thread, too: The OP goes out of his way to not only translate the whole plot, but even posts a bunch of pictures, provides the appropriate music that's played for each scene (and I really must stress that this is an excellent soundtrack, as well) and even posts videos for the trials and various other scenes. Heck, he even posts bonus stuff like developer interviews and concept art! orenronen, my good sir, I salute you.
However, a bit of a warning: I think this should go without saying, but it would most definitely be best to POST ANYTHING PLOT-RELATED UNDER SPOILER TAGS, ESPECIALLY IF IT PERTAINS TO THE SEQUEL. Mind you, I'm already familiar with how the game ends myself (played and beat it about a year before the LP thread appeared), but since my knowledge of the Nihongo was (and still is) minimal at best, I'm basically experiencing the plot properly for the first time through the LP thread, as well. So of course that means I'll also be strict on myself about spoilers. Now, with that being said.....
Let's get this thread started, you bastards! Upupupu~~~
UPDATE: As some of you may already be aware, the first game's LP was completed a while a go. So for anyone who finished it, you can now check out the in-progress translation for Super Danganronpa 2 as well as the prequel to the series, Zero!!

^Ah, but as I already noted in the first post, the whole game IS being translated as we speak! Just check out that thread I linked to. The entire game's plot has already been translated up to the beginning of the 4th chapter (along with some other additional content). Furthermore, some folks in that thread already considered making a patch for the game using that translation as the basis (which the OP has even agreed to assist with). So I assure you that the language barrier problem is already being taken care of.

Yeah I'm reading it right now. I guess I can see why my friends who can speak japanese say it's an awesome game
And having the translation in thread/post format is a pretty cool idea too since during the intermission between translations we can see many people in that thread actively discussing on what's happening in the game.

Damn! I can't access the webpage for spoilers anymore. I don't know why. I was reading until the first trial chapter! What on earth is happening!
And now the database isn't available. I can already guess who the culprit is and how though.

As far as the third trial goes:
BTW, who's everyone's favorite characters? Surprisingly, I actually find myself liking main protagonist Naegi a lot more than I thought after reading this translation. I'm also fond of Mondo and Yamada (fun fact, OP fans: The two of them are voiced by Zoro and Usopp's VAs, respectively!). Monebear is also one heck of an awesome villain (who's even voiced by Doraemon's VA of all people.... I mean, wow!). As for female characters, I like Fukawa since.... well, I'll get into that later. I'mma just wait for the next update, now....

^Updates usually come along about every 2-3 days, but note that sometimes they might come along sooner or even later depending on the size/content of said update (the latter is especially true when it comes to the court scenes). I can't really be sure how long it'll be before he even completes those social link events, though.....

An 1828 birth in Scotland given in the 1841 census in which the person was a boarder at age 12...
... with no mention of parents, and none found since. Scotlandspeople web site say birth was not registered. Any other way to find parents ?Not on death certificate
Where Thomas Slade Peters got his middle name
He was born in Derby in 1869. His parents were Philip Peters (born in 1837 at Newport Gwent Monmouthshire) and Mary Ann Swainger.
Mary Ann Swainger was born in 1843 at Painswick Gloucestershire to Charity Slade and Joseph Swainger (sometimes spelt Swanger)
Charity Slade was born in 1775 or 1777 in Wiveliscombe, Somerset Devon and was christened at Fivehead or Finehead Somerset. Her parents according to Genealogy.com were David Slade and Betty Robbins.
The interesting thing is that descendents of all Slades from John Slade of Maunsell House in Somerset are descended from Thomas Arundell of Wardour (born c 1595) who because of his valiant deeds was pronounced by Emperor Rudolph 2nd (Turkish)by a unique decree to be Count of the Holy Roman Empire---whatever that may be!!!!
Further back in the lineage are Philip 3rd of France, Henry 3rd of England and Ferdinand 3rd of Spain. Impressive eh? I came across this info surfing the net for Slades. Someone has compiled this looking for the Neville family who are also descended from Thomas Arundell.

Why was the Son of God have to be named Jesus? Why not Immanuel?
I'm not really sure what that means, but I got up to level 23 in Skyrim (not to brag or anything, but there is increasing evidence that I am the Dragonborn) and it was a lot of work. So level 33 has got to be really good.
However, I hit level 40 today on Star Wars: The Old Republic. My Jedi Sage seriously kicks Imperial butt, so a level 33 Alien at NASA? He could easily beat him blind folded...but then he's blind and relies on the force to guide him, but still...he could!Oh what it means to be a geek. And so next season of Ancient Aliens we've got Dog The Bounter Hunter, a Level 33 Alien, a Dragonborn and a Jedi.I think this could get interesting.

Quote from: kin hell on May 12, 2012, 05:52:39 PMall we need is love .....the eighth letter of the alphabetand the true message is revealed h8 h8 h8Did you just make that up? That is good!
On rare occasions I come across someone whose mind is so bent on seeing whatever they want to see that its just sad.
Are there really 888 Jesuses in the NT?
A while back, my local telephone service provider needed to adjust the phone numbering system in this area. The first three digits, of the seven digit number, identifies the local geographic section of the subscriber. A certain section known a K ville, typically blue collar and particularly churchy , was given the prefix numbers 666. Don't you know that the offal hit the rotary blades! There was a near armed rebellion before the situation was resolved. The telephone company held their ground and many of the most reverant subscribers cancelled their phone service so as not to be marked by the sign of the beast. (sigh!)
The social security administration decided to mark one of children with the mark of the beast. I thought about appealing their decision but eventually decided against it. Can you imagine the paperwork that would have taken?
It probably wouldn't have worked in any event. The SSA grants such requests only under extraordinary circumstances. Even in cases where you've been the victim of identity theft, the SSA typically won't change your number.
This guy sees coincidences everywhere.
Probably sees Yeshua in his toast. The page below was written in excruciating detail, describing all the "coincidences" leading up to "Jesus's" name equaling 888 in Greek, and many more in his personal life that would be way too embarrassing for normal people to admit to. Doesn't seem to realize that Jesus wasn't his actual name. Kinda painful to read, even for me.
According to Ask, Jesus is mentioned 1,276 times.-Nam

This weekend, my daughter finished second in the Washington area Student Congress championship tournament, a competition she won last year. She also qualified, along with two of her teammates at Walt Whitman High School, for the national championship tournament. This is the third time she has done so. Power Line reader Mark McManmon, coach of arch-rival Gonzaga College High School, had two debaters qualify for "nationals," one of whom edged my daughter to become the local champion.
In judging debates during the past eight years, I have noticed a significant change in "sourcing." In my day, we relied on major newspapers, news magazines, and college professors. Nowadays, the first two types of sources have been joined by websites, while the third source (professors) has virtually been replaced by think tanks. And the most quoted think tank is the Heritage Foundation.
In this regard, the debate circuit mirrors official Washington, D.C. Newt Gingrich makes this point in his Foreword to the new book Getting America Right, by Edwin Feulner, president of the Heritage Foundation and Doug Wilson, chairman of Townhall.com. Gingrich recalls the influence of Heritage Foundation policy experts on his thinking. Indeed, Heritage's "Mandate for Leadership: Policy Management in a Conservative Administration" served to a considerable extent as a policy blueprint for the Reagan presidency and the subsequent Contract with America.
Getting America Right is in the same tradition. The authors' blue print is founded on an examination of government programs and policies based on six questions: (1) Is it the government's business? (2) Does it promote self-reliance? (3) Is it responsible? (4) Does it make us more prosperous? (5) Does it make us safer? (6) Does it unify us?
These questions strike me as just the ones that should frame the debate over the direction of the conservative movement and the country. And Feulner and Wilson for the most part are convincing in applying them to the major issues we confront.
