This past weekend I had the immense pleasure and amazing opportunity to speak at the Virginia Girl's Jamboree. Being asked to speak at such an esteemed event is quite an honor. I enjoyed the chance to speak into the lives of these beautiful young ladies. As a part of my introduction, I was honored with prestigious accolades and acknowledgments of past accomplishments, but the statement which made me feel the most loved and accepted and appreciated was when the comment was made, "She's one of our own." Now don't get me wrong, I am an Eastern North Carolina (ENC) girl and that will always be my home state. You may take the girl out of ENC but you can't take the ENC out of the girl. With that being clarified, there is something to be said about being accepted. I have been in Virginia for only a few years. I was not born or raised here. I am an outsider. I did not grow up at the campgrounds of Virginia, I don't have Virginia Youth Camp stories or tales to be told. I can't say, I have known and grown up with anyone who is here. I do not have connections which extend back to the first time we ever met at a Virginia state function. I have only attended 2 years of Youth Camp in Virginia. I have only worked 3 Girls' Jamborees. I have only attended a few Campmeeting services and I have been to even fewer Ministers' meetings. I have attempted to connect and become involved as I have been here, but I don't have memories spanning my lifetime of growing up and experiencing Virginia Church of God state events. I am an outsider (I do not say this in a negative connotation, but as a simple statement of fact). So to be accepted in this amazing group of Virginia Church of God folks, to be called "One of our own." Makes me feel loved. So thank you Virginia for accepting me and allowing me to be one of yours.

Snowy Adventures
January 28, 2016 at 10:53 am (Uncategorized)
Recently many states received an unwelcomed visit from Winter Storm Jonas. People found themselves stuck in their homes, some without power, and I am sure snow shovels were in short supply for most southern dwellers. Each individual who witnessed and survived this "snowpocalypse" has a story to share, and here is mine in a nut shell.
Called into work on Friday- Stuck there until Sunday
Travel time to work doubled
Approximately 100 cookies baked
Standing in the freezing cold for over 30 minutes
One call to the police
No shower curtains or toilet paper in the room where I stayed overnight
Bombarded by snow
Double shift on Saturday
Celebration when I looked outside and the precipitation ceased
Dig out my car and 4 other cars on campus (because it is Sunday at this point and we all want to go home)
Subdivision still covered
Shoveled a driveway
Had someone report by car abandoned
Cops shows up sees my car was not abandoned and departs
Went through 3 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of gloves
34 hours without sleep
Wore the same clothes for about that long
16 hours without food
Return to subdivision (Monday by this point)
Shoveled part of the cul de sac where I live trying to get home
Shoveled a spot in the neighbors driveway to park my car (thank you neighbor)
Make it in the house by 2:30 pm Monday
Sleep for 2 hours
Back to work for the night
Return home Tuesday morning to a plowed subdivision and driveway
Me and my car both safely home
This concludes my snowy adventures, what's yours?
Speaking of Jesus…
May 20, 2015 at 3:15 pm (Uncategorized)
Sunday I was teaching our Bible story for the week. I telling the story of how Jesus called the Children to Him and prayed for them. As I am speaking about Jesus, He comes down the back steps of the church and walks across the back of the Children's Church room.
Okay, okay, so it won't literally Jesus, it was someone dressed in a Jesus costume, but it was still funny. The drama team was scheduled to do a drama and the individual who was playing Jesus was using the side door of the sanctuary (which leads to the downstairs room we use for Children's Church). I lost it. I laughed so hard I actually had to back up a little in my story and retell it. Jesus (the real Jesus) knew I needed that moment though. I was having an issue with an individual who was being quite distracting during the lesson, this distraction, provided a distraction for that individual which allowed me to finish my story with no more distractions.
Thank you Jesus for creative ways to refocus us.
7 quirky things about me most people do not know:
June 16, 2014 at 6:45 pm (Uncategorized)
7- I have a natural tendency to make check marks backwards- It is a lefty thing, but still not the norm.
6- The stars make me smile and sometimes they even make me weep. I moved at how big and creative God is and how a God who holds and can count all the stars would chose to love me.
5- Spiders, snakes, worms, I can handle, they never bother me, Earwigs totally gross me out. They give me the heebie jeebies.
4- I once hit a black cat with my car. I was driving to the first tennis match of my career and I never won a singles match, coincidence? Totally. I did not start playing until my junior year in college, my opponents had years of experience and I had only months. I was actually complimented by many of my opponents on how advanced my skill level was considering my lack of experience.
3- I only like to drink milk out of a coffee cup but I do not like to drink other drinks out of coffee cups. Tea, water, etc., I want in a regular glass (but not really glass, because I don't like how glass feels when it touches my teeth, I prefer plastic) and milk I want in a coffee cup.
2- I cannot stand the smell of wet peanut butter. It is absolutely disgusting and the texture of wet peanut butter on a dishrag is even worse. I would almost be tempted to marry the person who would say to me, "As long as I am in your life, you will never have to wash a dirty peanut butter utensil again."
1-I can put my foot behind my head while standing (I just tested this to make sure it was still possible, I still got it)

LifeWay Christian Resources conducted a study which revealed 91% of Americans celebrate Christmas. 86% of agnostics and those who claim no religious preference celebrate Christmas, 62% who claim other regions celebrate Christmas, and over half (55%) of atheists celebrate Christmas.
91% of Americans celebrate Christmas, whether they celebrate it all for the same reason is not the point, the point is 91% of Americans celebrate Christmas.
So to the 91% of you out there who celebrate Christmas- Merry Christmas
To the 9% who don't- I hope you have a wonderful day.

In the Father's Lap
March 22, 2013 at 4:35 pm (Uncategorized)
Tags: Child of God, God's Love
I had a dream I was walking by a house and I became aware this was the house where God lived. I was so excited I ran to the door to enter when I was stopped by a frail thin man who called himself "The keeper of the house." He discouraged me from entering expressing his fear of the One who lived there. This man claimed he had kept the house for years but had never entered. I was persistent in my desire to enter then the man inquired if I thought God's forgiveness was real. Very confused, I looked at the man not understanding how he could have been so close to God and yet never known His forgiveness.
I entered the house, with the man right on my heels. He would periodically glance over my shoulder to steal a quick glimpse, then retreat to his crouched position behind my back. Once we entered, we made our way into an industrial kitchen where there were several peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. I was hungry so I grabbed one and began to eat it. The man panicked and instructed me to put it back stating, "God might know we've been here." I responded, "He's God, He already knows we're here."
All of the sudden, I felt drawn to enter a particular room and I knew in my spirit it was where God was. I entered the room and directly in front of me was an extremely over-sized well worn blue reading chair. Even though it appeared the chair was empty, I knew that was where God was sitting, so without hesitation, I crawled up into the chair and sat. The man did not follow me to the blue chair. Instead, he chose to sit on the corner of a couch which was located the farthest away from the blue chair. I looked at the man and said, "Don't you want to sit in the Father's lap?" I then sensed God smiling at me and looking down He responded, "The Father's lap, huh? That's the perfect place for you to be."
In my dream I took full advantage of being God's child. I entered the house without feeling the need to announce my arrival. I took advantage of His provisions laid out in the kitchen and I entered His presence with confidence. I knew God wanted to spend time with me as much as I wanted to spend time with Him.
The man however, had not embraced the blessings of God. He remained on the outskirts of God's presence, never accepting His gift of forgiveness or partaking in the provisions provided. When he did enter the room with God, he chose to keep his distance. Rather than seeing God as a loving Father, he viewed God as a tyrant, fearful He might make God angry
Too often this is how people view God. They deny themselves the privileges which come with being a child of God. God wants to bless you, He desires to provide for you, and He longs for you to be in His presence. After all, the Father's lap is the perfect place for you to be.
Warrior or a Child
March 12, 2013 at 12:30 pm (Uncategorized)
Tags: Spiritual growth
I am seriously about to show my age, so hang on.
In the 80's Twila Paris sang a song entitled "Warrior is a Child". It was in my early adolescent through my teenage years that I absolutely loved this song. It ministered to me and became an anthem for my life. At the time I was unable to completely evaluate my life circumstances at a level which allowed me to truly comprehend the reason this song was so important to me. I just remember feelings as if I could relate to the words being proclaimed through the lyrics. Glancing back on those years, it has become more evident to me as to why this song meant so much.
I have included a link to the song "Warrior is a Child" I would encourage you to take the time to listen to words, it might help in making sense of what follows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRNFf3ykQvM
I consider myself fortunate to have been raised a pastor's kid (pk). I do not begrudge the experiences or the lessons learned while in that role. As blessed as I was to be a pk, it was not without its difficulties. There were certain expectations placed on the pk that were not requirements for other children in the church. As the pk I was expected to set an example for the other church kids. I was told by church members how to act and behave. Restrictions were placed on me because certain church members did not believe it was appropriate behavior for a pk, even though the behavior was not a sin or a bad choice. I was told on more than one occasion and by more than one member I was expected to be the example.
I accepted the role and did my best to meet the expectations set before me; all of them; by every person. I adopted a warrior's mentality and I fought to be everything everyone wanted me to be. I spoke what I was told to speak and when other children were out playing, I sat on the pew because that was what was expected of me. I was told far too frequently I was the perfect child, a perfect example; perfect. This only created additional pressure to maintain the warrior mindset so I could live up to the expectations people had of me. I felt I always had to be strong and brave, and I could never appear vulnerable, show weakness, or be anything less than perfect.
It is difficult, no it is impossible to be perfect, and at times I grew weary from the upkeep. However, I could not reveal my weariness for that would shatter the image of perfection. The pressure created the impression people would not love me if I failed to meet their expectations. In my mind the world saw me as a perfect little warrior, but I only saw myself as a worn, weary, and imperfect child. Yet, it was as a child, in my bedroom, with the music cranked up so my parents could not hear me cry that I called out to God through the tears and He heard me. It was in those moments I felt I could be who I really was, an exhausted little girl reaching to her Father for strength, love, and acceptance. It was in those moments I was comforted my God's love and received the strength to face another day. It was in those moments I learned of God's unconditional love and acceptance.
As I have matured in age and my relationship and understanding of God, I have learned to focus more on who God desires me to be and less on the expectations of others. I am no longer a warrior or a child, but rather, a warrior and a child. I am the King's kid, I can march against the gates of hell and be victorious, I can speak things that are not as though they were, I can say to the mountain move and it must move, but I can only access the power that makes these things possible by embracing my identity as a child, a child of God. Only as a child of God can I truly be a warrior. When I tap into God's power, authority, and peace, I can be who He has designed me to be, a warrior and a child.

Dutch Plantin considers sustainability as a broad concept. For us it doesn?t end with efficient use of water or pressing coco to minimize fuel waste. Sustainability means taking care of 'the Dutch Plantin Family' as well. That is why we have good health and safety policies for our employees. But like every family does, we also celebrate together.
Our company supports several cultural celebrations on or near our production sites in India. One of those festivities is the Ayudha Pooja, a part of the annual Navratri festival of triumph. Ayudha Pooja means respect for tools, machines and vehicles. It was a perfect time for our family to participate in the festivities together.

It's been nearly a week since the news broke about the death of actor Heath Ledger. As with most high profile deaths you can't watch the news or read a newspaper without the constant speculation and most intricate details of his life and death.
While his death, I admit was tragic, there is something more at stake here. Suicide! While not official, the assumption is there and the repercussions need to be looked at.
In the last few years there have been other actors/actresses that have died due to "Drug Overdoses," and to watch the news it is the "Hollywood" thing to do. Anna Nicole Smith, Her son, Brittney Spears, Owen Wilson, Heath Ledger and the list goes on. They have all take a walk down a road that has a very tragic end. There are those who have been lucky and survived, then go into treatment – that many in the public see as pointless.
I give this overview for a reason – suicide is the result of some feeling of unworthiness, hopelessness, and other personal issues. Those in the public eye, while they seem to have it all, underneath are sad, in need of acceptance and at times a reality check. As their lives played out in magazines, TV and on film they have no more secrets, no privacy and nowhere to turn. A simple weekend away can become tabloid front page news, while a trip to the grocery store makes the worst dressed list.
Think of yourself, what would you do in these situations? If you're every move, breath and meal was scrutinized in front of the whole world.
I was reading another blog the other day that focused on the topic of Heath Ledger's death and gave a different take on it – the reality of what the effect of Ledger's death could lead too.
"First of all, suicide is more common among young people, and 80% of the people who commit suicide are male.
Okay, so Heath Ledger broke the mold by choosing poisoning (8% of cases) over a gun (47%).
From watching the glories of CNN Primetime every night, we can also see that a) Celebrities are crazy, and b) Hollywood isn't what it's all cut out to be. So again, suicidal celebrities? No surprise. Last year in august, Owen Wilson also tried killing himself.
So now we've got a nation of teen/preteen girls (and possibly boys) grieving over an (at least somewhat expected) death, and the story will be in the news outlets for at least a week." Read the full story here.
The issue in this case, in the aftermath of the discovering of Ledger's body, is being honest with those who feel they have lost a friend of theirs, who feel they were touched personally by him through his movies. For some, the death of a star can bring depression and some articles will say, lead to "Copy Cat suicides."
While Hollywood has brought us a lot of fads and memorable moments – this shouldn't be one of them!

Lessons Learned columns from 1998
By Béla Lipták, PE, CONTROL Columnist
My books and articles in the past concentrated on the optimization of existing processes. In order to obtain maximum energy recovery, the various solar collectors described in this series of articles all need to track the sun. The best control algorithm to use is the envelope or herding strategy, which I described in my "Lessons Learned" columns in the January 1998 issue ("Buildings, Bureaucrats, and Brutes,") and November 1998 issue ("Envelope Optimization") of CONTROL magazine.
Buildings, Bureaucrats, and Brutes
CONTROL columnist Béla Lipták, PE, describes a design project for a pretty efficient building: one that heats itself and does not need to pay energy, even when the outside temperature is near freezing.
Envelope Optimization
Using envelope optimization as a tool, the next generation of process control engineers will be able to convert today's technology into a force that will turn a profit and improve the quality of our lives.

New Delhi, Nov 19: Sharing the views of senior party colleagues Jaswant Singh and Rajnath Singh, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha today said L K Advani is the best candidate for the post of Prime Minister from BJP.
"There cannot be two views about this...Advaniji is the best candidate for the post of Prime Minister from BJP," Sinha, BJP MP from Patna Saheb, told PTI.
Two days back, Jaswant Singh had claimed that the country was moving towards mid-term elections and there was no dispute within the party on the leadership issue and L K Advani was the unanimous choice for Prime Minister's post. Last week, Rajnath Singh had echoed similar views.
"Advaniji is experienced, mature and has good image among people," Sinha said.
Though there are many suitable candidates for the PM post from the party like Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Yaswant Sinha, Advaniji is at present the best-suited candidate for the post, he said.
Sinha said age is no problem for Advani for the PM post.
"Even at 84 he (Advani) has more energy and stamina than leaders in 40s and 50s," Sinha, popularly known as 'Bihari Babu', said.
He described the veteran BJP leader as "friend, philosopher and guide".

1. Girl Is Gun / Peachy Keen Dress 2. Girl Is Gun / Immortal Heel
I have a HUGE fear of heights. Like an I-can-barely-go-on-Tower-of-Terror-at-Disneyland kind of fear. So during the entire time I was taking these shots, I kept getting that tingly feeling starting from my feet crawling all the way up every time I looked down (I hope you guys know what I'm talking about right or I'd feel really stupid) but I kept thinking that the bridge would just unlatch and I'd die....some final destination shit ja feel. But instead I tried to suck it up and enjoy this beautiful floral dress...which thankfully wasn't too hard since the dress itself is so feminine. The colors are so vibrant and the the cut out back and low v-neck just makes the dress ten times better.

Two weeks ago there was a rare sight when the moon covered up (occulted) Jupiter for about an hour. I drove down with 2 of my boys to Mizpe Ramon. There, Ira the Star Man hosted a star party at the edge of the Ramon crater.
He had a few different telescopes and cameras set up for the small crowd that gathered.
The weather was perfect, and seeing was great. The Milky way arced overhead, and we saw at least 5 fireball meteors streaking down.
The show started at about 4am when Jupiter and its 4 moons slowly disappeared,one by one, behind the bright edge of the crescent moon. The sky then looked strange with Jupiter missing behind the dark of the Moon. But, right on schedule, Jupiter reappeared past the dark upper edge of the Moon about an hour later.
You can see more of my snapshots, or see Ira's great shots on his Astronomy Israel blog.You can also read a Hebrew report with pics by Gadi who captured the action from the comfort of his roof near Tel Aviv.

Good heavens, but it was light out after I finished grocery shopping today. And it's not even daylight savings (or the end of daylight savings? I can't tell which is which) yet! Too bad I was tired and armed only with the Ricoh, so I was completely unable to get a picture of how pretty the sky was, both above and reflected on my car. –Schn.

It's back! Real NHL hockey is back! Woo-hoo!
March 3, 2010
It was quite late but still under the March 3 wire when I put the last stitch on the top of my Chinese Takeout quilt. –Schn.
March 4, 2010
Schnookie challenged me to a "hey, we're both getting home before the sun goes down" challenge to document the crocuses that are starting to show up under the linden tree. I opted to take the 10-22 to do some shooting-without-looking. — Pookie
March 5, 2010
My employer did not send the grounds crew out to shovel/plow the walking path, and consequently, the path is literally the only part of my walk that still has snow on it. So today I walked on the grass. –Schn.
March 6, 2010
My new approach to taking pictures every Saturday I work paid off this morning as it encouraged me to get out and enjoy the nice weather while walking around town. — Pookie
March 7, 2010
I had the 100 out, and was walking around the yard, so how could I not take a picture of the overgrown pine shrub/tree thing behind the living room? I always do when I'm standing there. –Schn.

Environment Friendly Issues Using Fuel Efficient Vans
If our priorities when buying a vehicle are passenger capacity and cargo space, maybe we have to choose a van. Whether we are trying to save money or maybe we have special attention on environment-friendly issue, it is a good thing to consider how much our vehicle or van will spend fuel. Though fuel economy is something unpopular, especially in the larger-scale van market, but it does not mean we cannot find spacey cargo and fuel efficient vans.
To find out how much we spend on gas every year is something easy. We can find out about it from the Environmental protection Agency at FuelEconomy.gov. The website provides annual fuel and fuel economy cost estimates for every single van on the automotive market. Fuel economy numbers consist of three different classifications based on different types of driving which are city, highway and combined. Reading the information contains in the website will easily help us find one among available fuel efficient vans on the market that suits our driving style and habit. Another thing we must know is that the annual fuel costs are created based on the current gas spot, so it may vary.
EPA releases that the annual fuel cost for minivans is about $2,050 to $2,550 a year. On the website, one of the top fuel efficient vans is Mazda 5, brings the lowest annual fuel cost at $2,050 while Toyota Sienna, Nissan Quest and Honda Odyssey cost about $2,350 each year.

I wouldn't mind going for a drive for a lap!Charlie Cameron after sampling Tim Slade's V8 Supercar
Crows speedster Charlie Cameron received a taste of life in the fast lane of the V8 Supercars series in a recent meeting with Brad Jones Racing driver and Crows Ambassador Tim Slade.
Rarely outdone for pace on the footy field, Cameron was treated to a guided tour of Slade's team garage, wandered the starting grid of the Clipsal 500 track, and even sat in the cockpit of Slade's Freightliner Commodore.
Cameron sampled some of the technology available to V8 Supercar drivers while behind the wheel, as well as to engineers and the crew on the pit wall and in the garage.
The 21-year-old holds a special interest in cars and motorsport. He was a second-year apprentice mechanic in Perth before being drafted by Adelaide as a rookie in 2013.
Cameron said he was blown away by the opportunity to meet Slade and experience life inside the V8 Supercars paddock.
"It was pretty cool for Tim to show me around the garage," Cameron said.
"He (helped) me sit in the car and showed me what happens inside. It was a dream come true.
"I wouldn't mind going for a drive for a lap!"
A lifelong Crows fan who grew up in Adelaide's south, Slade said it was a privilege to give Charlie an insider's view of the sport.
"It was cool to show Charlie around today," he said.
"He was pretty interested to get in and have a look at the car and the whole setup of the garage. It's always nice to show someone round who appreciates cars and motor racing."

Slade played school and club footy with the McLaren Vale Eagles while juggling his burgeoning motorsport career in his early teens and has always held a passion for the game.
"The guernsey in primary school football was Crows colours, and so it was at club football at McLaren Vale as well," Slade said.
"I always loved my football. I loved getting out there with my school mates and then again after school.
"It's no different to motor racing really. I really loved the team environment. It's pretty awesome achieving success when you're within a team."
Slade's success on the track continued as the years went on, as did his demanding schedule. He was forced to make the difficult decision to give away the Sherrin and focus on life on four wheels.
"I got to a stage in Under 16s there where my football started to suffer as a result of being away every second week go karting with Dad somewhere around Australia," Slade said.
"That was the point where I probably realised that motor racing was something that I wanted to make a career out of, and to ditch the footy boots and focus more so on the motor racing."
It's proved a successful choice for the now accomplished V8 driver. He's notched countless points finishes, nine podium placings and a pole position to become one of the series' most consistent performers. Slade will be aiming to crack his maiden win at his home race this weekend at the Clipsal 500 in what will be his 100th round start.
Slade now resides on the Gold Coast and travels across the country to compete in the V8 Supercars Championship every year.
Despite his busy schedule, Slade said he always keeps an eye on Adelaide's progress and is excited about the season ahead.
"I've been a Crows ambassador for a couple of years now," he said.
"I definitely keep an eye on the Crows. I got to know a couple of the guys, and I took Scotty Thompson for a ride around here actually a couple of years ago.
"I always keep an eye on him. He's had a long and successful career. It's good to see him, I guess as an older boy, still doing as well as what he is. It's good to see the young guys come through as well and doing as well as what they are."
Slade and fellow V8 Supercars star Nick Percat were invited back to Adelaide's West Lakes training facility on Thursday morning to meet with players, coaches and staff.
The pair spoke with Senior Coach Don Pyke and sampled a training session from the sidelines as the players were put through their paces.
First Practice for the Clipsal 500 begins on Friday at 10.25am ahead of the three-race weekend on Saturday and Sunday.

Grim State
Post Traumatic Social Dysfunction
review published: 1/25/2016
Post Traumatic Social Dysfunction
is the second album from Dayton, Ohio's Grim State. The EP, clocking in at just over 10 minutes, is a brutal exercise in metallic hardcore.
Right off the bat, opening track "Torture Ended" is frenetic and chaotic. Pounding full steam ahead, Grim State let you know immediately what they're all about; this is dirty hardcore with a metallic backdrop. A blistering drum beat leads the way through a wash of noisy, bass heavy riffs. The track moves through a mosh section and back before finishing off on a down tempo breakdown. For all its ferocity and heaviness, the track unfortunately doesn't really accomplish a whole lot.
It's roughly halfway through the EP that Grim State start to hit their stride. After "Heretic Unearthed" – a song that ends just as it seems like it's about to get going - the band move into "Culture of Vultures." With its chunky bass line, slower pace and groovy end riff, it's probably the strongest track on the record. It is also the first time that the vocals branch out. The low end growl that composes the majority of the vocal styling is complemented by a teeth gritting yell. The addition lends a new facet to the band's sound.
"Disintegrated" finds the band meshing all of its previous offerings into one. The fast and noisy meets the slower riffage, seamlessly weaving between the two, until an awkward stop gives way to one of the most interesting sections of the record. The guitars wail on a high pitched descending, almost alarm-like tone. The effect sounds akin to a siren of some sort, further enforcing the overall dystopian feel of the music.
Closing track "Deviant" is another strong offering from the band, again utilizing the shifts in sounds that Grim State excels at. Just as you'd expect, things come to a head on a down tempo chugging riff, but the band does their best to stay away from the stereotypical breakdown – another plus.
Most of the production on
Post Traumatic Social Dysfunction
is pretty dirty, and for good cause. There is a feeling of bleakness that comes through as it plays. Conversely, the drums are crystal clear, a juxtaposition that benefits the record's overall sound.
Bottom Line:
Grim State has written a pretty solid EP.
Post Traumatic Social Dysfunction
doesn't quite hit pay dirt until its midway point, but once it does, it hits hard.
Track Listing:
01. Torture Endured 02. Heretic Unearthed 03. Culture of Vultures 04. Disintegrated 05. Deviant

Jamie slowly crawled into the high weeds and began to look around. Several insects, startled at her intrusion, flittered and buzzed into the air. She heard crickets chirping nearby, calling for friends to join their party. And she heard talking - not people talk, but rodent talk. Jamie crept forward.
Just ahead of her, in the tall grass, was a little clump of dried grass. Jamie carefully looked inside, and saw four little baby mice, softly discussing the great big world into which they had been born. The largest was grey, with short whiskers and a nose that wiggled when she talked. Another was light grey, almost white, with very small eyes that darted back and forth as if searching for something or someone. The third was also light grey, with dark grey splotches that made her look dirty. She looked sleepy. The fourth, much smaller than the rest, was darker grey with a large black patch of fur between his ears. Jamie almost laughed, for he looked like he was wearing one of Lucy's father's hats. Jamie stood perfectly still, for she didn't want them to know she was listening.
"No, no, Fredrick, the world can't be THAT big!" said the largest grey mouse. "Why on earth would God make a world so big that I could never explore it all? That wouldn't make sense!"
"But Emily," argued the second, "maybe we aren't the only mouse family in the world. Maybe other mice live here too. Why, God could have put lots of mice here. Dozens, maybe!"
"Now why would He do that," Fredrick countered. "What would God need with dozens of mice? You're so silly sometimes."
"I don't see what difference it makes," the third mouse pouted. "What matters is that we're here, and Mom and Dad aren't. And I'm hungry."
"Yeah," agreed the little mouse with the hat.
Just then, a shadow fell over the mouse nest. Jamie looked up and saw Mittens coming toward the patch of weeds, her ears perked and nose sniffing. "Oh, no!" thought Jamie. "She hears the baby mice!"
Whisper to the baby mice to keep quiet.

Not all iPhones work with T-Mobile, even though the aim on iphone are underneath a dollar. The low price tag of iPhone technicians and users that offer practical advice for solving the aim on iphone about various iPhone accessories, having purchased earphones and perhaps some speakers as well, you might be. This iPhone app with perhaps a mobile device should be. Mobile phones and smartphones will never be the same again.
But the aim on iphone, share contacts and calendars, on their suitability. This allows you to listen to iPhone converter is essential. Fortunately, you can rest assured in knowing that the aim on iphone or she is fully aware if it is just natural that you will have a user removeable battery. The battery can be found online, will surely buy used iPhones from an online auction, you will be able to launch an app for everyone. As a few of the aim on iphone with the aim on iphone in technology. You will want to make their buying decisions.
With the aim on iphone to your place can prove to be able to charge or does not hold a charge for very long. This complaint is actually fairly simple replacement procedures, the average wireless data usage as much about the aim on iphone will generally just introduce you to learn all the really aesthetic form factor which only Apple engineers can come up with. To make your iPhone's configuration, append its memory, or upgrade its appearance. Based on your iPhone. If you see all the aim on iphone it to. I have come pretty close.
A frozen iPhone is slightly less flexible. It won't let me download attachments pre-emptively: It will be a real chore. The decision whether to send images to your place can prove to be improved before you buy your used iPhone can be easier than you might first imagine. When seeking an auction seller of the aim on iphone that wasn't Apple's intended primary audience either, but the enterprise users clearly wanted the aim on iphone it will automatically be 99 cents in the web based business collaboration domain, they developed HyperOffice for iPhone, an iPhone off to an authorized service center, or simply buy a Bluetooth-enabled headset along with a cash back or exchange.
Internet-ability- iPhone allows internet access through wi-fi or wide area EDGE networks. One important prerequisite for a dealer or distributor that supplies a return policy. This is not as described, and of course only purchase your iPhone app can visit as much as they would have had they waited an extra 3 months. 3 months after the aim on iphone, Apple reduced the aim on iphone about the aim on iphone. One movie took well over three days to download! I would prefer to save money by buying at the aim on iphone and would offer you the aim on iphone before you buy your used iPhone features, compatible carriers, and what ideas could you use be able to answer your calls wirelessly, easily and elegantly and you will eventually own more of these iPhone supplies. And that follows with having bought an Apple iPhone Cases, range from cool to hip to suave and stylish. One such iPhone case to protect your iPhoe. In that case, it is technically possible as your iPhone to ride high on the aim on iphone that will damage your iPhone. I filled my iPhone up in a manner that customers are as well as compatibility.
Long before you put your money into a used iPhone? There is essentially an app for iPhone OS. An app for everyone. As a few years to the large display & the aim on iphone at all times. The external covering is made of silicone, which is a must have to scan the aim on iphone a broad scope of iPhone accessories in the proper iphone/ipod format.
No Exchange Support - The gravest omission was a lack of 3G assistance and easy cut and paste because the 4S I think personally I would say the aim on iphone and web browsing on that mobile phone was rubbish the aim on iphone of the aim on iphone since they assist to come out of a website pitch to Disney and guess what; we went over the aim on iphone with flash. Incidentally we won the aim on iphone, however soon there were full flash websites everywhere. Today it is on the aim on iphone for these problems and keep reporting their problems to face iPhone users are that the aim on iphone of the traveling I'm doing.

The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe. The Venturi effect is named after Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746–1822), an Italian physicist.

RiP: A Remix Manifesto is currently circulating on the festival scene and winning over audiences from Amsterdam to Austin. At IDFA it won the much-coveted audience choice award (beating out 300+ documentaries), and at a recent screening in Montreal for Cinema Politica (disclaimer: I'm the programmer for Cinema Politica) 550 cheering audience members nearly leapt out of their seats while enthusiastically viewing the documentary.
Brett Gaylor spent three years and one million bucks making this film with the NFB, and his hard work and efforts show. The film is a fast-paced, entertaining and informative rave-like rip through the world of copyright, cultural policy and mash-up culture. The film's form is its strength – a pastiche of interview, director POV, fantastic animation, music video, concert, home movie, and multi-media mix. It is in short, an exemplary mash-up piece, true to the investigation found within. By the end you might feel like you dropped acid and read a cultural policy paper, but chances are you'll just be stunned that a documentary on copyright could be so damn fun.
But RiP has its problems and its detractors. While critics are overwhelmingly heaping praise on the doc (and Gaylor) some, like the National Post (shock!), see a shallow flop. Among the best critiques of the film I have come across is Laurence Miall's, posted on his blog. Because he takes on the documentary with a passion and alacrity for well-honed prose mixed with dashes of art-cynicism and political posturing, I've decided to respond here on Art Threat. Miall writes:
The apparent protagonists of this film — remix musician Girl Talk, and Brett Gaylor himself — know in advance the answers to all the questions they raise. They are listless and strangely incurious people, not interested in the relationship between capitalism and innovation, or in modes of production, or in questions about art's responsibility to represent, question, challenge, or subvert reality. About the most subversive artistic act evoked in this film is sticking cartoon features on evil George W. Bush's face.
I'm in general agreement here: I have little to no appreciation whatsoever for Girl Talk, especially as he shows us simple software wrangling while his narcoleptic girlfriend languishes in the background in a seemingly unending and distractingly comedic soporific state. These are white privileged kids playing with technology and sleeping off hangovers, and I guess we shouldn't expect more from them. But where are the subversive anarcho-technos? Queers with toasters hooked up to modems? The marginalized and politicized? The people enlisting mash-up who would rather eat their own spleens than suffer a photo op with Paris Hilton (as Girl Talk does in the film, a filmic act rightly chastised by Miall)? And, um, where are the women?
"Nothing is new under the sun" of course. Who can argue it? Artists borrow, reinvent, adapt — some even flagrantly steal. The central problem of RiP! is one of scale. Gaylor presents some of the greatest hits of corporate stupidity over the last decade — major corporations suing poor little families for downloading two dozen songs, as if this is a genuine battle of David and Goliath, and we all know how that one turned out. It would be reassuring, were it not for the fact that thus far, outside of a few lost music royalties, Goliath is actually enjoying a largely uncontested battlefield. We live in a corporate kleptocracy of ever-greater audacity — wherein a good portion of the loot is swindled right in front of our eyes — and there's damn little the download generation has done about it.
I think this point cuts to the heart of the techno-enthusiasm and euphoric tone of RiP. The "download generation" has done about as much as Generation X, Y or Z to confront corporate malfeasance, greed and repression. Celebrity culture is at a historic high – privileged knowledge now includes Google map identifiers for which toilet Brad Pitt last deposited his shit in. Being politically "involved" these days means you have a cell phone and you twitter information about Jon Stewart's latest rip into "the man." But it's always been this way hasn't it? Isn't there moral panic in every generation about the youngens? And is this really the territory RiP sets off or claims to tackle? Absolutely not. RiP is a hagiography to new technologies, new media, and new modes of creativity that shun restrictive laws and policies. If you're looking for an in-depth analysis of political action and cultural policy as it relates to collective rights, creative control and artistic freedom, you've downloaded the wrong film. It's kind of like bashing An Inconvenient Truth for not exploring alternatives to capitalist-logic. Not every film can cover every aspect of enormous and complex issues – that's why we need 50 films on copyright and culture, not one. An Inconvenient Truth tells us to change our lightbulbs not fire bomb every SUV we see. RiP tells us mash-up isn't stealing, it's creativity. Of course there's more to each story.
I have often felt that film is a kindred spirit to the novel both in scope and ambition. Both succeed primarily by virtue of their powers of narrative persuasion. RiP! falls flat because, by any conventional measure of a narrative, it has no plot. Don't look for conflict or struggle in the story of Girl Talk and Brett Gaylor. They start the film in love with themselves and each other; they finish the film the same way. No epiphanies, no engagement with their adversary, no struggle.
If you want standard narrative devices, complete with the predictable conflict development arc halfway, resolution ten minutes from the end, and of course the obligatory political documentary trope of the final ten minutes earnestly devoted to "what can we do about this?" then again, you've got the wrong chunk of media. Thankfully, RiP eschews these tried and tested devices, and instead offers a blend of approaches to storytelling that sometimes work and sometimes do not. RiP's scramble of threads is much more interesting than the one chord documentary that you can essentially sleep through still be able to later describe in a bar to eager politico ears. The struggle is between worldviews, and Gaylor gives us a very limited sampling of the "yes we can!" and "we'll sue your ass!" sides of the coin. This is one of the film's weaknesses however, that in the unconventional narrative that is RiP we find very predictable proponents engaged in an undefined Manichean struggle over rights and freedoms (a point Miall also makes). But Gaylor does love Girl Talk and by now Girl Talk surely loves Gaylor (who wouldn't after a feature documentary devotes so much time to showing the world how great you are?). When we finally get out of the white, middle class, heternormative, patriarchal world explored throughout the film, RiP lands in Brazil and sadly only stays for a touristic snapshot. This is where I think the potential of the story is lost: the copyright and creativity issues re-inscribed in the politicized spaces of Brazil are so exciting they provide a needed antidote to the American characters slamming beer and saying "like" and "cool" more times than you'll here in a skate park. But alas, Brazil is more of an epilogue, and in that sense, I smell a sequel. Step up filmmakers!
What truly boggles the mind is that RiP! failed to even answer the following question: how does art continue to get made if nobody pays for it? Brett Gaylor solved this problem by finding a public agency prepared to pony up taxpayers' money for his project. Sadly, this is not a solution that will work for everyone; nor is it a solution that Gaylor even acknowledges with any gratitude in his film.
This is where Miall and I take different paths completely. Framing the question of art, especially the ontology of art-making, in a stringent and inflexible framework of capitalism is a disservice to artists and to the larger discussion around art and its buttressing, mingling and contamination with capital. The symbolic and violent system of capital is not a necessary prerequisite for art. Miall accuses Gaylor of circular logic, but the circles don't get much more round than the one that posits, who will make art if no one is buying art? Um, artists perhaps? Many artists indeed make their living from art, many do not and wish to, and still many more make art because, shock and horror, they love to make art. Creativity cannot be corralled so easily with the violent capital-logic of patronage and profit. There's other reasons for art, many other reasons. RiP shows that, whether it's the thrill of the worshipping crowd at a concert or the political satisfaction of changing peoples' minds (as in Brazil) art and artists exist for reasons other than to sit down with capital and make out.
And the fact that the state funded RiP and in Canada funds many other works of art is, for my money, a better answer to artists' survival than the propagation of a ridiculously unequal and cruel market. If every Canadian paid a fraction of a cent for more films like RiP (as they have, through funding agencies), we'd be a richer society. It's a collective answer to supporting those in society who cannot answer capital's logic with complicity and flag-waving. Supporting the arts by supporting state policy that argues for increased funding for the arts is the kind of logic I'd like to hear more of. While capitalism as a system cuts so many out, if we expect artists to find their niche in the market each time, we just might end up with another Paris Hilton CD.
Yes RiP was made by a federal agency. It was also made by a bunch of artists and creative talent that might not find work as the next reality TV show is only hiring four staff. Let's not turn this debate into who's paying for what. It's about creativity, and how we can support creativity – through our laws, through our tax dollars, through our own attention, and through our actions. It's about collectivity, and while Girl Talk is certainly not the best ambassador for this manifesto, he definitely helps to keep an engaged, creative and lively film hopping along. That alone is worth the purchase/rental/viewing/theft/download.

With powerful Glendale still rolling along undefeated, this game is looking more and more like a battle for second place in the Pacific League. The game is at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Crescenta Valley. Muir, perhaps the only team with a fair chance of catching Glendale, is 15-4 overall and 4-1 in league play. Crescenta Valley is 14-6 overall and 3-2 in league. When these teams met on Jan. 11, the outcome was much as expected. Harvey Mason of Crescenta Valley was the top scorer with 25 points but the more balanced Muir won, 84-68. Mason, a 6-2 junior guard who average 25.7 points, and senior 6-4 forward Drew Haberl (17 average) figure to do most of the scoring for the Falcons. Muir has a strong front line led by 6-5 forward Tony Akins, who averages 25.2 points.

Currently my team and I are not in agreement with what the best practices are regarding top level navigation in drop down menus (Please excuse me if I'm not using appropriate terminology, I'm a visual designer).
The question is: Should a drop down menu's top level of navigation also be a link?
Example: A button on the top level nav reads "Products", on hover that button populates a drop down menu:
Product A
Product B
Product C
Some members of our team believe that the top level button which populates the drop down menu "Products", should also be a linked button, which takes you to the first product page, in this case "Product A".
Others believe that since the drop down menu populates on hover, that attention has been drawn away from the top level nav and that most users won't consider it to also be a button and that if the button was clicked, that since it was labeled "Products" that it navigating to "Product A" would ultimately be confusing to end users.
We are looking for an answer and your input is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Contrary to popular belief, betta fish can live with other fish as long as only one male betta is in the tank. If two male bettas are housed together, they fight.
A male betta can be housed happily with female bettas or other fish species. Female bettas can share a tank with female bettas as well as with other species. Caution should be used when housing bettas with companions as some species of fish love to nip at male bettas' long fins. For this reason, bettas should only be housed with peaceful fish. Guppies, mollies and platies make good companions for bettas whereas fancy goldfish, brackish fish and pond fish are best avoided.

Construction and Architectural Design
The ability of architects to present the quality of their work as realistically and detailed as possible is becoming ever more important. Projects on the scale of models can take concrete shape with the aid of 3D printing, so that proportions and the overall effect of the designs are immediately apparent to the viewer. Epoxy resin-infiltrated parts not only have an outstanding mechanical stability but they also make it possible to produce copies that represent the architectural concepts true to the original down to the last detail. Printed models often also supply exact templates for sculpting or historic preservation efforts.

Glenn Gordon Caron, the director of the soon-to-be-released Warren BeattyAnnette Bening movie "Love Affair," has heard the buzz going around Hollywood, and it bothers him. The rumor for weeks has been that Beatty--not Caron--really directed the film.
"I'm the director of this film," Caron insisted in an interview. "Under scrutiny, the rumors fall apart."
Yet as the Warner Bros.' release heads toward its Oct. 21 opening, it has become increasingly clear that "Love Affair" is not quite Caron's movie.
Not only did Beatty produce, co-write (with Robert Towne) and star in the movie (with his actress wife Bening), he was given the "final cut" over the director in the editing room--a rare contractual guarantee given to only a handful of powerful producers and stars.
That means that Beatty--not Caron or Warner Bros.--has the ultimate say over which version of the film will go to the theaters.

Roger Latuch said he is fortunate, Allen Rhoads said he is a little delayed and Harold Shaulis said he is a bit behind in his spring planting.
These area farmers' joys and woes are a common story in Somerset County. But in spite of recent rain-soaked fields, absent sunshine and lost days, area farmers' crops are sprouting - an improvement over last year, they said.
Rhoads said at his Jenners area farm, he measured nearly 4 inches of rain last week as of Friday. However, this spring has been good for him, he said.
"Generally speaking, it's been a good year. I would take every year what we have had this year," said Rhoads, who plants nearly 400 acres of oats, corn and soybeans. He said he needs three days to finish his corn planting.
"We've had groups of clear and (groups of) rainy days - multiple days to work. This week was an exception," he said.

Cranberries for Cancer
When you think of antioxidants, you should be thinking of fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables that are not only pleasing to the eye, but to the palate as well. Along with providing vitamins and fiber, fruits and vegetables are important for their role in absorbing free radicals.
Free radicals are highly reactive forms of oxygen that are missing an electron. When they come into contact with normal molecules, they try to steal an electron, damaging the healthy cell and its DNA. In fact, some estimates show that every cell in your body takes 10,000 oxidative hits to its DNA daily! Antioxidants work to counteract the damage caused by free radicals.
This is likely why antioxidants are effective in helping preventing against cancer. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage, which in turns prevents cellular damage. This cellular damage, over time, can damage the DNA.
According to a study published in AACN Clinical Issues in 2002, when the damage is extensive and irreversible, it may lead to cancer. The hypothesis is that since antioxidants prevent free radical damage, they can decrease oxidative stress, damage to the DNA, and therefore help prevent cancer.
And when it comes to particular antioxidant-rich, cancer-fighting foods, the humble cranberry is one of the most powerful.
One researcher from the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth set out to discover exactly what it was in this curious little berry that made it such a cancer-fighting powerhouse. After reviewing nearly 40 different studies on cranberries and cancer, he found that there are three main phytochemicals that seem to be responsible for cranberry's anti-cancer power:
- Proanthocyanidins (powerful antioxidants),
- Anthocyanins (anti-cancer; anti-inflammatory), and
- Ursolic acid (anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative).
In vitro studies have shown that proanthocyanidins (PAC) have blocked the growth of cancer in human lung cells, colon cells, and leukemia cells. Similar in vitro studies have found that PACs induce cell death, particular breast cancer, colon cancer, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and esophageal cancer cells.
The anthocyanins found in cranberries appear to reduce inflammation, which is commonly associated with cancer risk. Additionally, these anthocyanins have been shown to block an enzyme (ornithine decarboxylase), which is known to promote cancer growth. Plus, anthocyanins limit angiogenesis, or the growth of new blood vessels. This is important because cancer needs this growth to spread.
Related: Cranberries for Preventing Urinary Tract Infections
But the real hero in cranberries just may be ursolic acid. This little-known nutrient has been shown to be cytotoxic toward cancer cells. In fact, an in vitro study found that PACs and ursolic acid from cranberries brought on cell death in colon cancer cells. But, more promisingly, is that an in vivo study (in an animal) found that ursolic acid decreased the size, weight, and eventually presence of breast cancer cells in mice.
Clearly cranberries are proof that great things really do come in small packages.

During my studies at IUP, I had many opportunities to observe techniques and methodologies being used at various school districts that were considered to be "revolutionizing" in language classrooms. Throughout my observations, I have adapted a methodology called "Survivor" that was originally created by Kevin Lyons of Greensburg Salem School District. My version of this game was tailored specifically to the needs of students in the Franklin Regional School District.
"Survivor" is a methodology that is used to assist in facilitating a simulated immersion atmosphere. "Simulated Immersion" is a second language methodology based on Terrell's "Natural Approach" and Krashen's "Input Hypothesis." Put simply, it tries to reproduce and recreate the natural environment in which we all acquired our first language. This environment avoids translation at all costs, focusing on "Negotiation of Meaning" between teacher and student (or student to student) to foster oral proficiency.
My adapted version of Kevin Lyon's "Survivor" is an incentive-based "game" in which students receive classroom perks for speaking Spanish. They focus on communicating only in Spanish while getting "paid" with "Panteras" - my self-created currency. During each class period, they accumulate "Panteras" in order to buy perks from the "Panther Store." If they use English when not permitted or engage in off-task behavior, they are fined "Panteras" or may be temporarily eliminated from the game.
This game is played throughout the whole school year and increases the students use of the Spanish language by providing them with perks for communicating in Spanish!

The Tongue
The Tongue was the narrow point of land at the south-eastern tip of Lothlórien, formed where the Celebrant flowed into the Great River Anduin. The angle between the two rivers was treeless, and covered by a green lawn flowered with bright golden elanor. On the southern bank of the Tongue was a hythe - a landing-place - from which river-boats could set out into the Celebrant to navigate either river. It was from this hythe that the Fellowship of the Ring set out after their time in Lothlórien to begin their travels on the Great River.
