The other day, a friend and I got to talking about housekeeping and such.
Somehow we got on the subject of messes we had made in our many combined years of housekeeping � actual Good Grief messes!
It started when she said that she had accidentally turned over a pitcher of tea in her fridge.
She had to take every single thing out, clean out the fridge with soda water and wipe everything off before putting it back in.
�And a good bit of the sweet tea went on the kitchen floor, under the fridge and so I had to mop the floor as well,� she said. �What a mess.�
I got to thinking, trying to see if I could top her �disaster.�
My most current mishap came about a month ago.
I had to replace my coffee pot, reason being I broke the carafe on my old one, a mishap in itself, even empty.
And I�m still finding little shards of glass on my kitchen floor.
But the new coffee pot led to another Good Grief mess, other than breakage.
So, on to the new pot.
About a week after I got it, I set it up to make myself four cups.
I thought I was familiar with the workings of that new pot, even though I hadn�t had it all that long.
Goes like this: Water in, coffee in, plug in.
And then I was off to the workroom to fold a load of clothes.
Whilst there, I decided to put a different CD on the player. The music from �The King�s Speech� had been playing off and on for months.
Hmm. Took me a while to decide on the Statlers.
I�m singing along with �This Bed of Roses,� when all at once, I heard a peculiar noise from the kitchen.
I can�t believe I poured the water in the coffee maker and turned it on, but I didn�t put the pot in place.
Lordy, I had coffee all over the cabinet, all down the sides and even in the silverware drawer, which I had left open.
Oh, and change that silverware to �stainless.�
What a mess!
It took me half a day to clean up that coffee.
It is amazing how far four cups of coffee can spread when it has free rein.
I can tell you one thing for sure. I am most careful about putting the pot in place when I make coffee now.
Excuse me while I knock wood so it won�t � really won�t � happen again.
A good while back, last summer I think, I had another kitchen accident. It too was nobody�s fault but mine.
I was fixing to go outside and work in the yard a bit. I decided to put a canned Coke in the freezer, for just a little while, you understand. Just long enough to let it get icy cold for later on.
Meanwhile, I went outside and started raking and pulling weeds.
It was right hot, and before too much time had passed, I decided I needed that cold drink.
In I went, took the drink out of the freezer and yanked out the tab.
Well sir, Coca-Cola sprayed everywhere: floor, cabinets, fridge and even on the ceiling. In fact, most of it went on the ceiling.
Nobody was home but me. I knew I had to clean it up and I did.
But we had to have the ceiling painted to hide the splattered Coke.
That little episode taught me two things.
Do not put a carbonated drink in the freezer, no matter what, and do not put a carbonated drink in the freezer, no matter what.
Write to firstname.lastname@example.com and stay cool.

Genea-Blogger Randy Seaver, of GeneaMusing.com has a series of Blog Posts on the importance of Research Notes. I would encourage you to read each of his Blog Posts on this topic.

Creating Research Notes in RootsMagic 5 - Post 1
Creating Research Notes in RootsMagic 5 - Post 2
Do the Research Notes Transfer via GEDCOM to Family Tree Maker 2012?
Do the Research Notes Transfer via GEDCOM to Legacy Family Tree 7.5?
I found is observations very interesting. Having spent quite a bit of time dealing with the exchange of information between Genealogy Software packages, using the GEDCOM option, including the three Randy has shared,
I had made a quick blog post, earlier, but was not in a position to provide details:
Research Notes
I now want to see how I have done or am doing in the area of Research Notes, within Family Tree Maker 2012 already, as I really haven't focused on this topic, but I have been using the features, just hadn't been doing it consistently or "on purpose". More or less by accident to track what I have or haven't done.
The first thing I did was to look at the Help file, within FTM2012. This is from the Help menu Index for Research Notes Report.
Looking at that, confirmed that we have many options, based on what level we want to keep Research Notes for. There is a place for Citation Notes, Person Notes, Fact Notes, and Research Notes for a Person.
The Person Notes, are normally where I keep and enter the "stories" of people, as I find them. Part of my Clean Up of my file, is to restoring the field for that purpose, as these Note features have not been around for that long, nor have we had the ability to Print Notes Reports.
In the People Workspace, Person View, the Person Notes are in the Left Column, near the bottom of that Panel, it's the First ICON, and the "stories" or Notes are typed into that area of the screen. (NOTE: these Notes can be marked as Private).
Also, each FACT has the ability to have notes. There are blog entries on how I have used this.
For this specific Example, I have recorded the History of the 11th Kansas Cavalry. The "story" of this Civil War unit is in the Notes section. Above the notes are the Events of this Unit in the Civil War, with Dates and Places where the battles were fought. That data will be displayed in a Timeline Report.
Researching this unit, I found some battle specific information, which I put in the FACT Notes on the Right. If I want more details about that battle, they are right there. In this specific case (the example), that data was found on page of the Citation. Having played around with the Output, that is where I thought these notes would be helpful. It more Battle Related and NOT Unit Specific. The Unit Specific notes ARE in the Notes for the unit. For me, it's two different pieces of information.
I am still searching information on this Civil War Unit, so I have entered some Research Notes for the "person" (person, in this example, is Unit).
This is the 2nd ICON, under Person Notes. (between the Person Notes, and the Private NOTEs on/off ICON).
It notes what I HAVE found, and two more places, at this point, where I want to Research. I had looked at Fold3.com before, but want to go back and look, and I haven't looked at Wikipedia yet. If I think of other places to research, I can put those Notes here. Looking at what I have and haven't done, I don't document normally what I have found and where, as I can see that based on the Facts and the Citation for those facts. BUT, I put conflicting information notes here. Open Conflicting information are in the Task List for that person (the 3rd Tab on this page). So, research notes would contain how conflicting information was solved.
Citation Notes are in the Source Workspace for the Citation.
I have lots of Citation Notes, or better said, there are not many Citations that don't have notes. This is more for me, and it helps be "remember" more about the Source and the Citation that is displayed in the Citation Details, and Citation Text.
Now, what about the Output. How is this information presented in a report?
The Publish Workspace, Person Collection is where the Notes Reports are. Now, I am taking my lead on this from Randy presenting the Research for his PERSON. That is what I am doing as well.
Bringing up that Report, here are the Options: Person Notes: Fact Notes: Research Notes:
The about is the basic summary for this unit and the report is 6 pages in length.
This next report is the FACT Notes, where the Military Fact Notes are presented. In this case, it's information about the Battle and not Unit Specific. Remembering the the Unit's participation in the Battle is in the above (or Person Notes) part of the report.
The Research that I have to do, or conflict resolution notes would be shown here.
NOTE: Randy made a number of Valid comments about Family Tree Maker: 1) Timeline does not allow for Citations, and 2) the Research Notes in Roots Magic 5 are in Chronological Order, where FTM2012 are not.
I attended a class which brought up the Chronological Order of Citations was important. I also looked at the Roots Magic Research Notes that Randy discussed but didn't have that great of an impact on me, as it might have on a very experienced researcher or a Professional Researchers.
The Research Report that I generated from within FTM2012 helped me.

"A bed of fine fire clay of the best blue flint quality has been found at Martinsburg, at a depth of 195 feet. Just above this clay is a layer of white clay 2 feet thick and above the white clay is a vein of coal 3 feet thick. The coal is hard and clean and produces nearly twice as much heat as soft coal, it is claimed."

During the work the road surfaces will be slick from the fresh oil, the highway department said. It warned motorists to use other routes when possible. When driving on the treated roads, District Engineer G. E. Wolf said, slow down. The roads in Audrain are Route 151, seven miles, north of Route 22; Route Y, two miles north of Route 22; Route M, 2.5 miles south of Route D; and Route D, 2 miles west of Route M."

There is increasing convergence between the goals that human rights advocates aspire to, and the development work of the World Bank. This was the consensus reached at a panel discussion on Integrating Human Rights in PREM's work, organized as part of the Conference organized by the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) network on May 1 and 2, 2012. The panel included Otaviano Canuto, Vice President of the Network, and other experts at the Bank working on labor, justice, poverty, and governance issues from a rights-perspective. It was moderated by Linda van Gelder, Director of the Public Sector and Governance group.
The panel showcased innovative ways in which a human rights perspective is being integrated into the Bank's work. In Vietnam, the governance team has engaged the country in looking at how right to information can further transparency and how awareness of rights can make the state more responsive to citizens. A team in PREM is looking at the Human Opportunity Index as a means of assessing inequality of opportunity among children. The World Development Report on Jobs emphasizes the concept of 'better jobs' that improve societal welfare, not just 'more jobs'. Several of these programs are supported through the Nordic Trust Fund that furthers a human rights approach to development issues.
The panelists emphasized that the Bank had progressively integrated a more expansive view of development in its work, and one that enables the realization of several of the rights enumerated in the international human rights framework. The introduction of stringent social and environmental safeguards to ensure that Bank-funded development projects protect the right to existence and livelihoods of communities affected by these projects – is a prominent expression of sensitivity to protecting the rights of communities and individuals.
The Bank has also expanded much beyond a focus on aggregate macroeconomic indicators of growth such as GDP, to looking at welfare outcomes at the individual and household level – a basic driver of this shift in emphasis is the recognition of the individual's right to development. Concerns about equality have driven the development of disaggregated indicators looking at disparities in outcomes for specific sub-groups and households.
An increasing proportion of the Bank's lending now goes to social sectors - towards improving access to health, education, access to social security, and adequate standard of living – all areas that improve quality of life of the individual and are recognized as fundamental dimensions of human rights in the UN Convention of Social, Economic and Cultural Rights. The Bank works actively for the realization of the Millennium Development Goals, which also contribute directly to the realization of the fundamental rights enumerated in this Convention. An implicit commitment to social and economic rights has undoubtedly been very significant in this shift towards a more expansive view of development.
Over the last decade, the institution has also accelerated its engagement on governance, social accountability, and transparency as necessary conditions for better delivery of services, and more effective outcomes on development. Accountable governance requires that citizens have the right to access public information necessary to effectively monitor public expenditures and performance, to participate in policy-making processes, and form groups and coalitions to monitor the delivery of services and provide a check on corruption. Supporting these outcomes necessarily furthers essential rights recognized in the international human rights framework.
Potential points of tension between the human rights and economic policy approaches remain, however. Economic policy is inevitably about choices, prioritization, and trade-offs in the face of resource constraints. Policy interventions supporting outcomes that might enable the realization of one set of rights might mean that programs directed towards the fulfillment of other rights are left unfunded or under-funded. For instance, limited resources directed to making AIDS vaccines available to a poor neighborhood in a city might mean that a village does not get clean water in the short term. Economic policy seeks to resolve these dilemmas using tools such as cost-benefit analysis, but this would fly in the face of the foundation of a human rights approach – that rights are indivisible and inter-dependent. Leaving room for prioritization and the progressive realization of rights might be the workable compromise on such issues.
The tension might be further precipitated when judicial decisions on the enforcement of certain rights might conflict with the policy priorities set by the Executive, creating a conflict between the obligation of the judiciary to enforce rights, and the resources available to policy-makers to further some rights and not others. To the extent that rights are legally enforceable, the ability of governments to implement what they see as the policies that create maximum net welfare might become constrained by judicial decisions. One approach is to look at rights as priority goals, rather than binding constraints for government action.
Despite these open questions, the panel concluded that engagement between the human rights and economics approaches and disciplines continues to be important. Economic policy offers tools and instruments that can achieve the goals enumerated in the international human rights framework, which might lack the policy prescription to accomplish the goals. At the same time, approaching development issues from a human rights lens can help strengthen the design of development programs in a direction that increasingly improves welfare, empowers individuals, and furthers what one panelist called the 'self-esteem agenda'.

What most of us take for granted when using CAD/CAM/CAE technologies had to come from somewhere, correct? By that I mean the mathematics that underlie and drive all CAx applications. From the basic math numerical models are derived as the output of systems. The output of these systems are geometric shape descriptions of modeled objects. As these systems were being developed a new branch of mathematics, known as geometric modeling, was created – and that's what the book, Geometric Modeling, is all about.
Fundamentally, geometric modeling studies the methods used to construct and control numerical geometric models of real and imaginary objects.
Geometric modeling is entirely dependent of several areas of mathematics, but primarily differential geometry (that employs differential and integral calculus and linear algebra for developing planes, curves, and surfaces in 3D Euclidean space) and numerical methods (to find numerical approximations – the more precise the approximation, the better the model).
How basic math becomes numerical modeling that becomes geometric modeling is the subject of a new book, Geometric Modeling, by Dr. Nikolay Golovanov. The book is based on the author's experience gained throughout his career, and especially during the development of the ASCON Group's C3D geometric kernel as a principal architect.
In a nutshell, the book outlines the methods of geometric modeling, including methods for constructing curves, surfaces, and solids. It describes the algorithms and data structures behind geometric objects. It also presents the principles of the interconnections between the elements of geometric models. Finally, the book examines some of the applications of geometric models, such as determining model physical characteristics, rendering, simulation, etc.

Copycat Seinfeld…but will Oprah get revenge?
Yes…she's a scheming golddigging bitch…but I kinda love Jessica Seinfeld. So sinfully manipulative it's delicious. And somehow she has entranced Jerry Seinfeld. He is completely addicted to her. Saw her at Cannes – as put together as anyone you've ever seen, and even better than KFed Junior at playing the doting wife, popping out 3 children in quick succession, and immediately looking picture perfect. With a lot help.
Especially from people like Oprah.
So Mrs Seinfeld claims she was inspired one day while cooking for her kids. Keep in mind that Jerry is 2nd only to Oprah among wealthiest celebrities. And Jessica still claims she actually has to labour in the kitchen! Her concern was that her children refused to eat enough vegetables.
"While I was cooking dinner, pureeing butternut squash for the baby and making mac and cheese for the rest of us, I had the crazy idea of stirring a little of the puree into the macaroni. ... The colors matched -you couldn"t really see the squash in there -and the texture was perfect."
So of course she launched a book. And of course Oprah had to dedicate an entire show to it 2 weeks ago, gushing and fanning intolerably over the "Deceptively Delicious" recipes. The most nauseating sight ever…at the time. Until she did the same thing this week with Jerry Seinfeld and Bee Movie, guffawing at everything he said, so irritating she was begging for a good slap.
As expected, Jessica's cookbook became an immediate smash hit, soaring sales the next day, so much so that she sent Oprah 21 pairs of shoes luxury shoes. Are you Rossuming?
But wait…
It turns out her brilliant recipes all brilliantly resemble recipes found in a book by Missy Chase Lapine that was released in April. Wrote Lapine:
"If you want to hide something in macaroni and cheese, you have to match the color of the dish. You could easily introduce white bean puree in the mac and cheese."
Even Oprah fans noticed the similarities. Needless to say, Jessica's reps are quickly coming to her defence:
"She admits she didn"t invent pureeing. But she never saw the [Lapine] book. And she worked really hard on hers."
So is Jessica Seinfeld a plagiarist? More importantly though – will Oprah haul her ass out in front of a television audience and rip her a new asshole like she did James Frey for A Million Little Pieces?
James – a former drug addict! – grossly embellished his story. But he still wrote his own book! And it was a compelling read. Jessica on the other hand ripped off someone else's ideas and claimed them as her own. Will she suffer the same fate, faced with an angry hysterical Oprah-mob and the bruised ego of an egomaniacal pontificating bully???
Of course not.
But still the lambs follow her word – Women! Power! Learn to Love yourself! Angels and Africa! Rah rah rah!
And THAT, gossips, is what you call the Oprah Double Standard.

"The Qt development toolkit is undergoing a major overhaul. The developers behind the project announced the availability of the Qt 5 alpha release this week. It's a key milestone on the path to the official launch of Qt 5, expected to occur later this year." The kind of stuff to read Ars for.


text: I forgot to add that my son ended up being in special care for over a week due to some unforeseen issues, so I was not able to nurse him for several days, and when I eventually was, it was only every four hours. They gave him a pacifier and he was bottle-fed both formula at first and then pumped colostrum and milk, and we didn't have any issues with nursing. If you do give birth at that hospital, it may mean dealing with some things you'd rather not, but it doesn't doom your nursing. I hope it goes better than you expect.

A 34-year-old West Michigan jail inmate was found unresponsive and later died after twice attempting to escape from his cell.
A 34-year-old West Michigan jail inmate was found unresponsive and later died after twice attempting to escape from his cell.
Deputies at the Muskegon County Jail placed Dahnontae McKinley in a "restraint chair" Saturday afternoon after pepper spray didn't deter him, Sheriff Dean Roesler said Monday in a release.
McKinley was found unresponsive during a routine check later in the day and taken to an area hospital. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Autopsy results were pending.
McKinley had been in the jail, about 35 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, since Dec. 14 on charges of robbery, solicitation of prostitution and domestic violence, according to Roesler.
Video recordings from Saturday show him "pushing past a guard to escape his cell," the sheriff said.
Several deputies took McKinley back to his cell, but he "again tried to forcibly escape" and "physically resisted" the officers, Roesler said. Two jail deputies were treated at a hospital for injuries and released.
Pepper spray was used on McKinley, but had no effect. He eventually was subdued and placed in a restraint chair alone in the cell.
Katrina McKinley told WOOD-TV that her husband was healthy.
"I had just talked to him the day before," she said. "He sounded just fine. He was ready to come home. I just want to know what happened."
Jail video has been turned over to the Michigan State Police, which is investigating McKinley's death, Roesler said.

GM Sandy Alderson said a $100 million budget is news, and he hasn't spoken with owner Fred Wilpon about next season. Alderson anticipates a payroll between $100 million and $145 million. That's a wide berth, and the spectrum ranges from being able to compete to being a bottom feeder.
When he took the job, Alderson said expectations are high in this market and meeting them means spending. Alderson said it is not guaranteed the Mets won't make an offer to Jose Reyes. There can be no assumption made, Alderson said, Reyes will be is gone.
Alderson has made some conflicting comments regarding his role and the Mets' financial picture. He said going in he knew money would be tight around the Mets, and indicated just because money will be come off the books doesn't mean there will be wild spending next winter. He also said he's been assured there's enough money to make a contract proposal to Reyes.
How big that proposal is uncertain, but there doesn't appear to be any indication it will be made any time soon.
Considering Alderson's reputation, I find it difficult to believe he doesn't have greater knowledge of Wilpon's financial problems then he is letting on. Maybe not to the penny, but definitely with a handle on next season's budget.
How do you take such a job without knowing that information?
Or, considering he took the job at the urging of commissioner Bud Selig, maybe he knows it all and is just minding the store until it is sold.

True superstardom in the adult entertainment industry is a tough thing to achieve. And this year's Dirty Dozen certainly underscores that.
Just five of the actresses we listed among the industry's most popular last year make return appearances in 2012, as new faces have come along — and some veteran performers made a comeback.
With the industry's annual expo under way in Las Vegas Jan. 18-21, we've once again assembled a list of the most popular porn stars. This year, instead of basing the list on past and present award nominations, we've polled industry insiders — ranging from studio presidents to publicists to stars — to get a unique view of who's queen of the mountain. Their answers were based on several criteria, including which performers have the biggest fan bases, whose face on a DVD cover boosts sales and which stars have seen the biggest popularity increases in the past year.
That drawing power is more important than ever to the $14 billion porn industry. DVD sales have been in freefall the past five years due to piracy and competition from online content. Vivid Entertainment founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch estimates income from DVDs has fallen 70 percent since 2007. (He said only 20 percent of the company's revenues come from DVDs today.)

I uploaded a photo of my girlfriends and myself at Radio City Music hall in NYC at the Rockettes Christmas show. They had passed out Santa hats so we have them on in the photo. I surprised my friends with a card with our photo on the cover and they loved it! The cards came out beautifully and they were shipped to me really quickly. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and plan to use FineArt America again very soon!
"I see the world through a frame. I am drawn to an image by the qualities of its light and composition. Each image lends itself to a particular medium. In acrylic I find the mysteries hidden in shadows. Clues are revealed in pools of light. The sharpness of neon is a particular challenge - there is a subtle glow of colour cast on all the surrounding surfaces. I achieve a diffused light or a rich texture by layering thin washes of colour. In watercolour I prefer to render the subject with bright colours, contrast and fine detail.

Dealing with Doubt in a Fallen World
Martin Ayers
- Martin Ayers is Assistant Pastor at All Saints Church, Preston, and author of two books, 'Naked God', which looks at the evidence for faith, and 'Keep the Faith', which considers the origins of doubt. View all resources by Martin Ayers

Cold-blooded Detective Work
When I was an unconverted Undergraduate, I remember once sitting in a room with friends and one of them was reading from a Christian tract he had been given. It had a section inviting you to become a Christian with an ABC that Ive since seen many times: first, Admit youre a sinner; secondly, Believe that Jesus was the Son of God and died for your sins; and thirdly, Confess that Jesus is the risen Lord and in charge of your life.
My mate who read out the tract was pouring scorn on this ABC of salvation, and as far as I can remember now we were all basically agreeing with him. Our big beef was with the B for believe. Heres why: If you dont believe, how can you help it? How can you be judged for deciding that youve not seen enough evidence to persuade you to believe this stuff about Jesus? Is it like make-believe? Are you expecting me to delude myself so that I can be saved?
Part of the problem here is that belief in the Bible is more than intellectual conviction its about trust, or reliance. But that still leaves the issue, if someone isnt intellectually persuaded that Jesus is who he claimed to be, or even that Jesus existed at all, then how can that person be commanded to put their trust in him?
But behind this objection is a presumption that is all around us, and which must be challenged. Its the presumption that our minds are neutral and unbiased when we look at facts about God, Jesus, the Bible and everything else.
Were accustomed to understanding that our hearts are far from neutral. If there is a God who made us to live for him, then its fairly clear that something has gone pretty wrong with our desires. We dont want to do what God wants; we want to do what we want instead.
But what about your mind? If you think that your mind is neutral and that other peoples minds are neutral then this will affect your whole approach to the Christian faith.
- If youre surrounded by people who seem very reasonable and sensible but who are not Christians and say they are unpersuaded about Jesus, then youll probably feel unsettled yourself. What if youve missed something? What if theyre right and youre wrong about Jesus?
- If youre struggling with doubts yourself, you might want to go back to the proverbial drawing board in the Christian life. Perhaps youll stop going to church for a while, because you dont want to waste time living out the Christian life, relating to Jesus, and thinking about who he is and what hes done for you until youre sure again that its really true. In the meantime, you might shift your focus away from Jesus in the Bible and fill your mind instead with intellectual arguments from both Christians and non-Christians, from the realms of science, history, philosophy, archaeology and the like, weighing up the evidence like a good old-fashioned detective and seeing if youve changed your mind.
Thats if our minds are neutral, and certainly thats how we tend to think about our minds. But what does the Bible say?
Heads and Hearts
The problem with this approach is that Jesus is very clear that our minds are not neutral at all. Consider first what Jesus said to Nicodemus about people not believing in him:
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. (John 3:18-20)
Jesus knows people inside out, and he says that its not that were neutral when we come to work out what we believe about him. Rather, people dont believe in him because they prefer to live in darkness. They do not want to believe the claims of Jesus Christ because of what it would mean for how they live; it would expose their deeds as being evil.
Jesus explained that the desires in our hearts influence the thoughts in our heads, so that as fallen people we just dont think straight when it comes to questions about God.
As we live surrounded by non-Christians we see a crowd of well-educated people and we hear an overwhelming, thunderous bombardment of well-crafted, fine-sounding arguments, but in all of it Jesus sees and hears only one thing. Rebellion. Rebels steadfastly refusing to accept who he is. Rebels whom he will hold responsible for their response to him.
Fallen Minds
If we turn to Romans 1, it helps us to understand whats going on under the surface. Paul begins his explanation of the gospel message by clarifying the awful predicament that the world is in without Jesus:
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:18-20)
The God of love and light, of grace and compassion, is angry, and hes revealing his anger against people. Why? Because, despite what were told from other sources, God says that the truth about him should be plain to everyone just from looking at his creation.
The world around us declares his glory. Its as though everything in the universe, from the Orion Nebula to the Mississippi Delta, from the orang-utan to the water vole, from Victoria Falls to Palm Beach, everything is crying out to us, We have been made by a glorious creator!
And yet many people look at the world around us, they see what has been made, and they say, There is no maker.
We are accustomed to thinking that this is a legitimate neutral position. But the Bible tells us that people are suppressing the truth. They would rather reject God and pin their hopes for life on other things than accept that God is there.
Have you ever packed a car for a holiday, only to find that youve got too much stuff? You end up with the boot so full you push down on the door and it just keeps springing back up at you. If there are soft things inside, such as clothes and bedding, you can end up pushing down on the boot door with all of your weight to try and force everything inside.
Well, that image of a guy trying unsuccessfully to close his over-filled boot is a picture of what God tells us people are doing with the truth about him. Its jumping out at us everywhere, from everything we see. But people are pushing it down, keeping their weight on it so that it wont spring out at them.
Thats why God can blame people for not believing in him. Its not that the evidence for God has been measured and found wanting. Its that people refuse to accept what should be obvious to all of us, because they do not want to honour God.
And the consequence is a downward spiral in our thinking. As fallen people our hearts are turned away from God, and so our thinking follows suit. Paul goes on to say as much in the next verses:
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. (Romans 1:21-23)
Do you see the way things progress from bad to worse? As fallen human beings turn away from the truth about God, our thinking becomes futile. And so we choose to build our lives on other things on false gods - rather than turn back to the God who made us.
Im showing my age when I say this, but I remember back in the 90s Brian May had a song called, Let your heart rule your head. It was all about a guy trying to persuade a girl to stop thinking so sensibly and carefully about their relationship, and instead to rush in and trust her feelings. Do you see the assumption? Our heads are neutral, and cautious; our hearts are open to being seduced, jumping in and making decisions we might regret in the cold light of day.
What the Bible tells us though is that you cant separate our hearts from our heads like that. The truth is much more complicated. Our hearts already influence our heads all of the time. We cant help it. If we really dont want something to be true in our hearts, then our minds will look for reasons to avoid thinking its true.
And the problem we all have, when it comes to God, is that as fallen human beings we really dont want him to be there. We dont want there to be a God who can rule over us. We certainly dont want there to be a judgment day. Even subconsciously well look for any reason we can to avoid the notion that were accountable to a perfectly good creator for how weve lived.
This connection between our hearts and our heads is something all of us has, whether Christian or non-Christian, and from which none of us can escape. So if our minds arent neutral after all, how should this change the way we deal with our doubts? I think there are a number of really important applications, but let me briefly outline two of them here: we can handle our doubts better by taking courage, and by getting focused.
Taking courage
Will we allow this truth to encourage us when surrounded by unbelievers? Its not easy to keep going when our faith in Jesus Christ is dismissed with mockery and abject scorn. But Gods word can help us enormously in these situations, because it tells us that this is not just an intellectual battle. Something spiritual is going on. We live in a society united in suppressing the truth about God, so standing up against that united opposition takes courage.
We shouldnt feel so unsettled when people around us dont believe in Jesus. He assures us that weve got all of the evidence we need. Everything around us declares the glory of the God who made it. Its just that rebellious, fallen humanity is doing whatever can be done to airbrush God out of the picture so that his rightful rule can be ignored. Remember this and take courage when you feel surrounded by opposition and unbelief.
Getting focused
And what about the connection in our own lives between our minds and our hearts? Will we resolve that, when faced with doubts, we will get focused on Jesus Christ, instead of drawing back and shifting our focus on to intellectual arguments?
Sometimes, of course, we can have genuine intellectual objections to the Christian faith that nag away at us. This is very common. Its what makes websites like bethinking.org so helpful, as we address our concerns. Evidence still has a key role to play.
But what weve seen here is that doubt is also a spiritual matter. Our heads are influenced by our hearts. The more we shift our focus away from Jesus because of our doubts, the more that well risk becoming infatuated by other things turning good things around us into god-things and worshipping them instead. The more that happens to us, the less well want the Gospel to be true, and that will affect our thinking. Our doubts will get worse.
When Jesus was teaching at the Feast of Booths in Jerusalem, the Jews were wrestling with the question of who he was. But Jesus didnt target their intellectual faculties. In John 7:17 he said, If anyones will is to do Gods will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. Later, in John 8, Jesus said to Jews who had begun to believe in him, If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
The solution to doubts about Christianity isnt less Christianity, its more Christianity. Following Jesus Christ is an all-or-nothing experience, and its as you go for it with the whole of your life that your conviction grows. Its the only worldview that makes perfect sense of the world around us.
If you respond to doubts by drawing back from the Christian life while you work out where you stand, youll grow in your confusion and uncertainty. But if you live out the Christian world view in everything you do, and nurture and develop your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, reminding yourself of the gospel message that he died for you, loving and serving him wholeheartedly, then you will grow in your confidence that its true and your doubts will dissipate. If we worship straight, we can think straight.
In my experience, it is all too common for Christians with doubts to retreat into what they think is an intellectually neutral position. They spend less time reading the Bible while they spend more time listening to the arguments of non-Christians and weighing up the evidence. I hope that this article encourages you instead to listen to Gods word on issues of faith. In doing so, while praying that God would graciously help us with our doubts, we might get the help we need to keep the faith in a fallen world.

Intel case showcase why aproach of AMD/Nvidia is a bit better.
Instead of X people working on Linux driver, they have 10 * X working on driver that is usable both on Win and Lin (OpenGL part, Video Decoding, etc.).
Intel have bigger team for Win, and thus they are able to make big leaps in Win driver (OGL 4.0, better perf), than Linux team.
On the other hand both AMD and Nvidia have separate efforts for SoCs drivers, and AMD choosed to pick up open source Linux drivers (but close it), instead of rewriting Catalys. It show that Bot catalyst and nvidia driver are COMPLEX.
And for sure MS FORCE closed source model for GPU drivers on Windows (Vista, 7, 8). With code SCRAMBLED and OBFUSCATED on purpose. All to "protect" its DRM subsystems.
That is also why Video engines on GPU are kept secret. Too much too loose on Win side of things.
Other area that is kept secret is Power Management, as it is area where competition is high, and innovation possible.
And 3rd highly competitive area is driver development itself. Good drivers make or break hardware. And writing those for GPU is hard.
So there are solid and sound reason for not releasing gpu driver as FLOSS.
Yes we loose a lot on that. (Eg. support for new kernels and X.orgs would come way faster for FLOSS Catalys)
But AMD/Nvdia have their reasons.
Intel is/was newcomer, so they did not care much (they had least advanced gpu hardware, and least advanced drivers), but even they keep their PM docs secret.

She was also interested in traveling and was thrilled to visit England, Ireland and Alaska. Well known for her crossword puzzle solving skills, she was also an avid reader who took great joy in participating in her book club. Evelyn was an active volunteer and member of Sacred Heart Parish.
Evelyn is survived by her son, Matthew Barbero and his wife, Katherine of Rock Tavern; her daughters, Julie Mughal and her husband, Imran of Fairfield, CT, Rebecca Corbett and her husband, John of Greenville, SC; as well as her brothers, Primo Antonucci, Ralph Antonucci and his wife, Nancy.

Evelyn was also blessed with a wonderful extended family of brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her husband, Julius Barbero and her sister-in-law, Camille Antonucci.
Visitation hours are from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, March 12th at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Avenue, Newburgh, NY 12550. The Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Church also in Newburgh, at 11 a.m., Wednesday, March 13th followed by burial at Calvary Cemetery.

She is designing the Kensington Palace apartment for William and Kate. She has designed homes for many celebrities including the Beckhams, and spearheaded the seminal "east meets west" design style. Here, she reveals the next step in her journey.
Everyone has their personal bucket list, a mental file of things they'd like to do before it's too late. For me, it was television. I'd been asked many times to do a TV show, but I wanted to do it when I could have real input and make it properly. I'm pleased to say Superior Interiors will be shown in the United Kingdom next year (and may follow soon after in Canada).
It's a little nerve-racking, to be honest. There are already quality TV shows about design. And while I can't say too much about my show at the moment, I can tell you that I absolutely loved doing it. The people I worked with had extraordinary stories, some very heartfelt, and I know that I helped them and changed their lives a great deal. What I wanted was a feel-good show rather than being negative in any way, and I think the production company did a phenomenal job in making that happen.
I now also look at television and film in a totally different way, and I have a huge amount of respect for people who work in the industry. Filming is tiring. Really tiring. You've got to retake it and retake it, from the left, from the right.
It's strange when people tell me that this show is what will make me a household name. I've been working as a designer since I was 16, and I'm 52 now. My first book, East Meets West, was also a huge hit and helped to raise my profile in the design community. I guess the television exposure is simply the next step in my journey.
The most important thing, though, is the show's ability to make a difference to somebody who is not in the highend bracket financially. That means a hell of a lot to me and it's what really attracted me to doing the show. It's not just me going out into someone's house and saying "paint the walls taupe" or whatever. The most important part about doing up any home is getting into the owner's head. It's not just about buying pretty things.
It's about understanding how you want to live. My TV show isn't solely about interiors. It's about the psychology of people.
Rather than selling their homes, more and more people are now looking at ways in which they can do them up. And on the show, we've done it from a miniscule amount, right up to $100,000. After all, my style is my style. It doesn't alter just because someone spends more money. I think the press has made out that designers like myself don't get out of bed for less than a king's ransom, but that's just not true. We design for celebrities, but we also design for the ordinary person in the street. People are people. Celebs still sneeze, they still swallow, they still eat, they still sleep. The only difference between any of my jobs is how much money people spend on a project. Everyone has the same fears, the same anxieties, the same arguments, the same laughter. There is no difference whatsoever.
Granted, since creating interiors for people like the Beckhams, I've become known as a designer to celebrities. What's more interesting, though, is how the design ideas I've created have filtered down into the mainstream. Everywhere you look there is a high-end design being duplicated. Check out the offerings of the big names, including Ikea, and you'll see topdesigner looks being duplicated. Consumers are also better informed, reading magazines or studying design books to see what works at the top end of the market and then using the more affordable offerings from big brands to replicate that look in their own home. A design democracy, if you will.
And this where my TV show comes in. Now I'm going into more people's homes and showing them how they can change their lives by revamping their living space. My career has come full circle.
I never had any ambitions to be a celebrity, like these high-profile chefs that seem to spend more time on TV than they do in their restaurant kitchens. I don't need fame, because I'm a designer, first and foremost. My only aim is to help more people live happier, fuller lives in a place they love.

Ryan Scott, Executive Editor: So BioShock: Infinite, huh? It's all in a floating city or something, right? Is this just BioShock on a Plane, or what? Give me the lowdown.
Mike Sharkey, News Correspondent: No getting around it: Infinite is, simply put, BioShock in the sky. But it's important to put that into context. This isn't Speed on a boat, Under Siege on a train, or any other lousy, carbon-copy sequel made simply to cash in on a popular brand. This is Ken Levine and the team behind the original BioShock taking the core elements that made the first game so enthralling and telling an entirely new story in an all-new time and place. That time is 1912, that place is Columbia, and yes, it's a floating city in the sky.
Ryan Scott: What's Columbia like? Much has been said of the attention to detail that Irrational paid Rapture in the first BioShock. What sort of mood are we looking at here?
Mike Sharkey: Fantastical as all get-out. Like the concept of an underwater city, a floating city in the sky instantly evokes a sense of childlike wonder. And Irrational delivers, making Columbia just as detailed and awe-inspiring as Rapture. There's no signature architectural style like Rapture's Art Deco, but the devs said they were inspired, in part, by the famous White City built in Chicago for the 1893 World's Exposition.
The mood in Columbia is the polar opposite of Rapture. When you were trapped underwater, in the darkness, and with objectivist propaganda all around you, Rapture felt like a suffocating Art Deco nightmare, even before the Splicers started howling. Columbia is open, bright and beautiful -- the Fourth of July in the heart of America on the perfect summer day, complete with gazebos and bunting. If Rapture was a nightmare, Columbia is a dream.
Ryan Scott: What's the central conflict in this sky-paradise? Any idea if it's connected to previous BioShock games?
Mike Sharkey: This time out, players won't find themselves in the middle of the ocean with no clue who or where they are. You'll play as Booker DeWitt, a former Pinkerton Agent turned gun-for-hire. And a client has a very specific job for him: Find a woman trapped in Columbia and get her out. Exactly what the central conflict is in the floating city is unclear, but the developers said the woman DeWitt is searching for, Elizabeth, is at the heart of it.
I don't think there's a linear connection to the Rapture-based games, but it's impossible to say at this point. The first game takes place in the alternate BioShock-universe history of 1960. Infinite opens in 1912. I suppose Andrew Ryan's parents could be frolicking in Columbia somewhere.
Ryan Scott: Did the developers note any specific philosophical ideologies they're exploring this time out? Are any Big Daddies or Little Sisters (or anything of the sort) running around in Columbia?
Mike Sharkey: As we quickly learned in the gameplay demo, Columbia's idyllic setting masks an ugly truth: The people of the city are racist, sexist, Bible-thumping zealots. To put things in perspective: One of Columbia's propaganda images features a sanctified George Washington standing with the Liberty Bell in one hand and the Ten Commandments in the other. Cowering at his feet are hideous caricatures of all the other races, religions, and nationalities of the world. It's a controversial image that clearly defines the ideology of Columbia's inhabitants: an ultra-extreme form of Americanism.
As for Little Sisters, the devs promise the game will feature morality-based decisions, but what form they'll take is unclear at this point. We did see a number of Big Daddy-like bad guys running around, though. This time, they take the form of steampunk cyborgs. But even these massive circus-strongman-meets-RoboCop villains look tiny compared to the biggest bad guy we saw in the demo: a monstrous robotic eagle the size of a tour bus.
Ryan Scott: Badass. What kinds of new weapons and powers do you use to mow these sons of bitches down? And are all of Columbia's xenophobic residents out to get you?
Mike Sharkey: I didn't see too many weapons -- a scoped rifle and a shotgun are all that come to mind -- but powers were on full display. I saw DeWitt fry enemies with electricity, grab weapons (and an artillery shell) using telekinesis, and even bend a flock of birds to his will. After chugging a black bottle labeled Murder of Crows, DeWitt called upon his new feathered friends, and they came swooping down on his enemies, pecking and clawing like a scene from Hitchcock's The Birds.
And no, not everyone in Columbia wants you dead. Elizabeth, the woman you were hired to find, turns out to be much more than just a damsel in distress. In the gameplay demo, the curvaceous heroine unleashed her own powers, saving DeWitt from a horde of attackers. And when the two combined their abilities -- Elizabeth summoned a rain cloud and DeWitt used his electricity powers to turn it into a lightning storm -- the results were devastating. It appears Elizabeth plays a huge role in the game, acting as an NPC sidekick for much of DeWitt's adventure. I even heard some murmurs among fellow journalists about co-op play, but Irrational didn't want to give away too much at the unveiling.
Ryan Scott: I know co-op play was something that a lot of people felt like BioShock didn't need, so it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. Any last thoughts, based on what you saw?
Mike Sharkey: Irrational has been working on Infinite for three years now, and the game isn't slated to ship until 2012. That's a ton of time for a proven, talented team to put together another landmark, narrative-driven gaming experience. The devs are determined to outdo themselves -- and, based on what we've seen so far, they just might pull it off.

6 Clever, Stylish DIY Fixes for Ugly Eyesore Floors
If you are looking to cover an eyesore of a floor— be it plywood, vinyl, or tile— here are 6 bold, geometric ideas to get you inspired.
1. Geometric Stenciled Floor, DIY from A Beautiful Mess: Sarah Sherman Samuel from, Smitten Studio & A Sunny Afternoon, wanted to spruce up the flooring in her new studio and decided the least expensive and biggest impact would come from painting the existing tile. She wanted the floors to have some personality, but she did not want them to compete with all the patterns she creates for A Sunny Afternoon products, so she came up with this floor design to compliment a couple of her favorite prints.
2. Black & White Checkerboard Floor, DIY from Amy Merrick: on a whim, Amy ripped up the vinyl floor in her kitchen and found an old, wooden floor underneath. After many hours of sanding and prepping, she decided to paint a ivory and black diamond checkerboard. You can find the before here.
3. Painted Floor, DIY from Tynan Kerr for Ship & Shape: Maddy tore out the carpet in her house to reveal hardwood flooring, which she refinished, but there remained defaced plywood subfloor in the porch area. She wanted to fix them up, and after months of contemplating many motifs, she finally had the bright idea to enlist friend and artist Tynan Kerr to paint a masterpiece.
4. V Patterned Floor, DIY from Retropolitan: Erika despised the tile floor in her laundry room, and decided painting them would be the most affordable option with the biggest impact. After some research and prep, she used painters tape to create a unique design.
5. Striped Linoleum Tile Floor, DIY from Design Sponge: Orlando covered an old floor with inexpensive linoleum tiles. By cutting them in half and laying them in a striped pattern, he made them look extra chic.
6. Screen-Printed Bathroom Floor, DIY from Lazy Cozy: when Rachel and her husband couldn't agree on whether to cover their paint-splattered plywood bathroom floor with tile or linoleum, Rachel decided to try a low-cost DIY using a favorite screenprint pattern. She papered the floor with thick lining paper and waterproof PVA, then tiled the floor with thick art paper already screenprinted with the pattern, and finally sealed it with three coats of the waterproof PVA.

Stitches (US - BD RA)
Gabe mostly enjoys his time with a very unfriendly, undead party clown...
Jaded Richard Grindle (Ross Noble) is the sleaziest clown working the children's party circuit in Ireland. Arriving late to one birthday, his timing is off, the bratty kids a nightmare and a prank goes horribly wrong - he falls on a kitchen knife and goes to that Big Top in the sky. Years later the same nasty kids attend another more grown-up bash. Little do they know, thanks to a black magic clown cult, Stitches will be the uninvited guest of honour, seeking revenge on those responsible for his untimely death. (From the official synopsis)
I think it's safe to say we live in a time where the frightening qualities of clowns outweigh the memories of a time when they were considered jovial entertainment for children. If a clown character is going to don the traditional greasepaint and red nose for comedy the odds are that the joke will be ironic or, at the very least, dark. Stitches is the latest entry in the grand 'scary clown' tradition and it isn't quite sure if it's an ironic comedy or a gross-out horror, but it's sure ready to try and be both at the same time. It doesn't quite work, but you've got to respect its determination. Co-writer/director Conor McMahon is best known for his work on…um…well, he's not very well-known. He's directed some shorts, episodes of a web series called Zombie Bashers, and two STV cheapies I've never heard of – Dead Meat and The Disturbed. Regardless of experience, he clearly has a general idea of what he's doing. The film's lack of funding is pretty obvious, but I imagine the budget was even lower than it appears. McMahon has issues with tone and rhythm, but makes good use of an amateur cast and limited locations. The issues with modulation clearly begin with the script, which McMahon co-wrote with one David O'Brien. Perhaps the writing relationship was not the most harmonious thing, because there doesn't seem to have been any agreement on which direction to take the limited, EC Comics-inspired concept. Tonal inconsistencies have worked for horror/comedy hybrids in the past, but, usually, there is an underlying sweet or sourness to guide the audience through the ups and downs of comedic horror. In this case, the comedy takes vast precedence over the horror and the push/pull between styles of rarely mixes.
There are also just too many ideas floating around throughout the first act. As the movie begins, it promises to be some kind of surrealistic comedy that plays on the strengths of comedian Ross Noble, who plays the title clown. Soon after, though, it seems that we're dealing with one of those naughty kid movies that were popular in the early '90s, but only for a few minutes, because then we're set firmly in gross-out horror territory…though only for a sequence, because then things turn all pervy high school flick. And everything found in this first half is so disappointingly stereotypical, based on the subgenre being briefly aped. Finally the promised house party begins and the movie settles into its obviously intended groove. Genuinely interesting bits of 'evil clown' mythology is occasionally injected into the mix. These little stories and glimpses of Stitches' gory supernatural abilities (he pulls a rabbit from a victim's throat, his nose is detachable and has a mind of its own, he scoops a boy's brains out with an ice cream scoop) are clearly the reason the movie was even made. Once again, I'm met with a feature-length horror movie that would've worked much better as a short or part of an anthology. And it's not just the unnecessarily slow-moving first half, the whole movie could do with some tightening up, which pretty unfortunate considering that McMahon and O'Brien apparently make their livings outside of writing/directing zero budget horror comedies. Almost every scene drones on a little too long, rendering the joke unfunny. It's especially sad, because there are some great gags here, better than I've seen from a high-concept gore show in some time. The super-slow-motion gore is plenty clever, appropriately gross, not to mention well-executed, and it completely justified the film's existence, but there are also some enjoyable little character interactions, the best of which break with the film's overly traditional approach to genre material.
I can't find the specific specs online anywhere, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that Stitches was shot digitally, using one of the better HD camera models. The image is colourful and glowy with soft gradations blends. Details aren't hyper-sharp, but only because high contrast isn't a high priority. Previous Dark Sky releases have had some issues with sharpening effects/edge haloes, but that's really not an issue here. The majority of lines here are well-defined while still appearing pretty soft, thanks to the plush photography. A couple of the darker shots (most of which seem to have been shot outdoors) have slight issues with overall definition. Otherwise, patterns and textures are still plenty complex without any notable artefacts. Colour quality is quite impressive and incredibly eclectic throughout, including natural outdoor shots, unsaturated night shots, and hyper-saturated party scenes. The colours are tightly fitted with smooth gradient blends (important for that plush look), appropriate highlights, and black level support. The dark bits are solid without low-level noise effects or too many hues bleeding into the blacks.
There's no mistaking that Stitches was made on the cheap, but for the most part, it covers its budgetary restrictions with attractive photography and decent performances. However, the constraints really show on this DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, which is quite thin. The most effort is put into the slo-mo gore scenes, which are heavily layered with definitively gross foley and given surprising stereo, surround, and even LFE involvement. The rest of the film does feature its share of directional enhancements and immersive ambience, but most of it sounds artificial and weird. Nobel's voice seems to have been entirely over-dubbed in post, perhaps to add an otherworldly quality to the whole thing, but the effect usually sounds more like a production error. On occasion, the limits of the mix are particularly obvious, specifically a scene where Stitches watches teens dance through the staircase banister. As he gazes, he music the kids are dancing to is muted by a creepy circus theme. This makes stylistic sense, yet we can still hear the dancers' footsteps hitting the floor for some reason.
The extras begin with a commentary featuring writer/director Conor McMahon and star Ross Noble. This is an expectedly jokey track with McMahon and Noble speaking over each other and giggling at their own jokes, but it does feature plenty of behind-the-scenes information. The interesting thing is that Noble is the one determined to discuss uninteresting factoids about locations and special effects trickery. It seems that both participants are aping other commentary tracks they've listened to, rather than letting things flow naturally. As the film progresses, they loosen up a bit and find their own flow. Downtime and long silences are a relative rarity, but there are obvious moments where McMahon is stuck and uncomfortable without anything to say.
Up next is a fluffy making-of featurette (20:00, HD), featuring interviews with McMahon, Noble, effects tech Ben O'Connor, and other cast members Tommy Knight, Thomas Kane Byrne, Shane Murray Corcoran, Eoghan McQuinn, Roisin Barron, Gemma-Leah Devereux. The behind the scenes footage is entirely devoted to the final half of the film where Stitches is killing kids. This keeps the focus on effects and characters. Things end with a blooper reel (4:10, HD) and trailers.
It's nice that co-writer/director Conor McMahon wasn't content to merely make a gross-out, clown-themed short, but there's so much unneeded filler that I can't recommend Stitches as anything but a great horror comedy short that has been unfortunately stretched to feature-length. Still, I recommend the film overall, just with the warning that the first half is over-padded. The silly, clown-themed gore scenes are enough for most horror fans to enjoy the experience and the mostly unknown cast really shines. Dark Sky's Blu-ray looks great, sounds a little weird, thanks to some weird mixing, and features a couple of entertaining, but relatively fluffy extra features.
