In many cases after a night of kickball I feel pretty good. I really enjoy reverting to my childhood and playing a nice, competitive game of coed kickball. I do this every Tuesday night and have done so for the past year or so. It feels great when we win. It is an added bonus when I play well. Last night we won and I played really well. I even kicked a homerun (and no, it didn't go over the fence, I legged it out. I don't think Pele could have kicked it over the fence). Last night was different though. We just creamed the other team 18 to nothing! And I didn't really feel good about it.
You see, I started watching the reaction of some of their players. Some were just out there to have fun while others wanted to have fun while playing competitively. It was not, in any way, shape or form, competitive. It was ugly. It was New England Patriots-Washington Redskins ugly. The difference being we actually stopped trying really hard…and we don't get paid millions of dollars…and we aren't in shape. But I digress, see, we only scored 3 runs in the fourth and final inning after scoring 8 in the third. I started hearing players say, "Can we forfeit?" and "Can't we just quit?" I really felt badly for them. Seriously, this is not in jest.
While I like winning, I think I like the game to be competitive. I don't like pummeling people, it's no fun. However…you knew it was coming…next week we play a team that has beaten us all 4 times we have played them, once 16 to 1. I really want to pound them into submission. Peddle to the metal, baby!

For years and years the person I called my best friend was an atheist. We had rivaling viewpoints about the existence of God but we were always able to remain friends. Something changed in him when I gave my whole life to God. I had always believed in God and professed to be a lousy Christian but when I gave my life to Him and began to truly seek Him, my friend changed. The conversations we had about God became more heated. The words he spoke to me became more and more cutting and I eventually severed the relationship. I have spoken with him but a few times over the past few years but I pray for him to this very day.
The more I prayed and thought about him the more saddened I became. I began to realize something about many atheists, at least the militant ones; their agenda seems to be spurred on by pride and hate. They seem to hate that Christians believe in God and often can't wait to share how stupid and foolish we are for that belief. They have seemingly reached some level of enlightenment that we have yet to reach.
Christians should be motivated by love; a love for God, His word, His acts and His people. Unfortunately, there are some that are motivated by other things such as selfish pride or ambition, greed, lust or power. These unfortunately few have spoiled the majority for many people and are partly to blame for this hate some feel toward Christians.
That being said, does that justify any person's hate? Certainly not! Christians should never hate a person based on religion, race, sex or political persuasion. We have no right to hate anyone because every person on Earth is God's child whether they choose to accept their birthright or not. We should hate abhorrent, immoral behavior or sin. We should repent and turn our backs on it. But no man is above another. There is not a man alive or dead that doesn't need God's grace and the forgiveness allowed us by the sacrifice of His son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That forgiveness is given freely by asking for it and can be withheld if we do not in turn forgive others.
I forgave my friend for his hateful words about me and my God. I don't know if he has ever forgiven me for the pride I am sure I displayed at times. I know I can be pious and self-righteous. Thank God for the grace that has forgiven me and carried me when I have fallen in this area.
All of this leads me to this question: is an atheist extended the grace of God, the same way Christians are? Yes, they are. They have yet to reach out and take hold of it, but it is there. So, why the hate? Why the disgust toward the Christian God? Why the need to rub our noses in our collective ignorance? If I have done anything in my lifetime to spur this kind of hatred I am truly sorry and I ask for forgiveness. My motivation has not always been one of love but I am moving toward it.

My wife and I attended a wedding in Houston this weekend. It was quite a beautiful ceremony held at the Rice Hotel. It must have cost a fortune. The food was pretty good. The bride's cake was really nice but the groom's cake was just flat out cool. David (the groom) plays to drums so appropriately the groom's cake was a drum set. Neat.
It was a nice event and I was glad to have been there to experience it with the newlyweds. I am really glad I listened to the ceremony. The vows were not traditional and if they wrote them themselves I am beside myself. Each vow spoke of what the spouse is to the other. The vows really defined each as a helpmate. I thought it was wonderful and it stirred something in me. I have not used my wife in the way God has created her.
God has created my wife to help me through life. She is a wonderful, strong, prayerful, Godly woman. She is sensitive and caring. She is perfect…for me. God has created her to be my shoulder to cry on when I need it but I would rather carry my emotions myself. God has created her to pray for me but I would rather keep my needs to myself and struggle with them. I am a MAN! I am tough! You can strike a match on my cheek and I can eat nails for breakfast. At least, that's how I want her (and the rest of the world) to see me.
The problem with that is that we weren't built that way. God designed us to depend on someone other than ourselves. First and foremost, we need Him. Secondly, we need our wives (or husbands for those of the fairer sex). Our significant other can be a powerful tool for building and repairing our lives if they are used and cared for properly. I am learning that on a daily basis. So if you are reading this Cheri, I love you and appreciate you very much. Dudes, you go tell your wives you appreciate them too. Chicks have a bunch of junk they have to put up with from us.

I finally made it to men's prayer again. Let me tell you, 5:30am comes really early. I woke up at 4:00am with terrible heartburn. I was probably worried I was going to miss again. I got a drink of water, ate a few Tums and went back to bed. Next thing I know my new toy…err…organization tool, a Palm Treo 680, was blowing up. I thought maybe the air strike alert was going off. Of course, I didn't over react. I just stayed in bed for a few more minutes to make sure it wasn't a Ruskie invasion. Nope. No bombs, no planes, no paratroopers, just a blaring cell phone, a whining dog and an unconscious wife. Time for life to begin again.

I joined the ranks of working stiffs when I was 15 years old. I was a stock boy at a local mini-mart. I was a proud employee of Mr. Ben Amato. I represented the company with glee. Ever since that first job I have represented several different companies in one facet or another. I have always held some sort of sales job. Regardless of what position I have held or what company I have worked for, I have been in sales in some way, shape or form. I think (meaning, it's my opinion) nearly everything we do in life can be boiled down to sales. Let me explain.
One definition of "sell" is: to cause to be accepted, esp. generally or widely: to sell an idea to the public. A product or service is sold by employees. When said product or service is advertised and represented well it usually sells well. If it turns out to be a good product or service the word of mouth can help build a business as well as, or better than all the advertising a company can spend. That being said, if the product, service or even the representative thereof leaves a bit to be desired the word of mouth can cripple the company, sometimes beyond repair.
As a longtime salesperson, I often evaluate just how I represent myself, my "company" and the "product" I am selling. I know the product I am "selling" is a good one. In fact, it is the only product that has any true worth. That product: everlasting life. I know the facts of the product: Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and was raised from the dead on the third day so that we might go to Heaven. I know the value of the product: I don't have to fear death, I don't have to fear the attacks of the enemy, I am no longer a slave to sin, etc. etc. etc. I also know that product works without fail, no exceptions, if's and's or but's. If Mr. or Mrs. Customer "buys the product" by accepting Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior, he or she will live forever in Heaven.
So, how am I doing as a representative? What grade would I receive if someone were to fill out a customer service questionnaire about how they have been treated by me when they have come to church or waited on me at a restaurant or cut me off in traffic? What would they have to say in the "Comment or Suggestions" section of the questionnaire? Some days I would be afraid to know.

I find myself comparing myself to other people all the time. I compare my position at work with others at work. I compare my place in life with other people's place in life. I compare my financial stability with others. I even compare my walk with God with other people's walk. But why? How can I be sure that my position is any better or worse than Joe Blow down the street? Do I really want someone else's finances or relationship with the Lord?
Jesus had to address this issue with one of His disciples, Simon Peter. Jesus was telling Peter about the kind of death he would have. And Peter, being the near perfect example of what I would do, says, "What about this man?" He is referring to another disciple, John. We hear Jesus' response in John 21:21 So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?" 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"
I am not sure how Peter reacted to this rebuke but I imagine him wincing just a bit, sulking for a few minutes and then realizing that his life and relationship with Jesus is personal. It was and is a gift from God to him and it is not to be compared to anyone else's. Why do we always seem to want what someone else has? Why do we look at others and think, "Why is their life/car/house/kids/relationships/spiritual life is so much better than mine?" Is it truly better or is it just different? Yours and my life were crafted by God's hand. If we are not happy with where we are in life the only solution is to seek the Maker. By building the relationship between us and God we will repair, build or be less worried about other aspects in our lives.

UPDATE: I do not condone the violent act in story below. Violence is rarely a good answer for anything, though sometimes neccessary. Just not in this case.
I am not sure if this is the approach we should take as Christians but it sure would feel good every once in a while.
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting" It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me."

The Eastern College Athletic Conference welcomed Geneva College into the largest athletic conference in the country Monday.
But Geneva isn�t joining the ECAC.
Because of a miscommunication, the ECAC was not aware that Geneva rescinded its application into the conference, an entity that would have offered more postseason possibilities for Geneva�s athletic teams.
�We�re not able to join due to budget constraints and enrollment being lower,� said Geneva athletic director Kim Gall, who said the school decided not to join when it received its dues notice in September.
�It was just one of those things, with emails and crossing messages.�
The ECAC, which includes more than 300 schools in a loosely affiliated conference, later amended its press release to omit Geneva, according to its Web site.
Membership to the ECAC would not have affected Geneva�s hopes of an early membership to NCAA Division III, because Gall said the NCAA informed Geneva a few weeks ago that its transition period from NAIA won�t end until before the 2011-12 season. Geneva officials had hoped to be NCAA eligible for the 2010-11 season.
Geneva will continue its affiliation with the National Christian College Athletic Conference, which it has been a member for more than two decades. The NCCAA also sponsors postseason events, including the Victory Bowl in football.
�When we do become full members of the NCAA, we will become full members of ECAC, too,� Gall said. �For now, we have an opportunity in NCCAA.�

Hi Nicola
can you post a link so we can all see it? No doubt we will have some suiggestions.
I would however make the following observation,
Your resolution is not one of the standards that is designed for, In my case I design for 1024* 768 which is the most common resoution size. (Screen size is immaterial it's the Pixels you need to worry about) I never design for 640* 480 as thats dead and buried but I do make sure all my sites are viewable at 800* 600 px.
With the coming of bigger screens no doubt designs will have to be modified but I always design for the most used resolution. Distribution is most commonly shipping 19" and 21" monitors which have a native resolution of 1280* 1024. It follows that with all the exisiting monitors 1024* 768 is currently a good resolution to design for.
That being said my PS3 shops look ok at 1280*1024, 1024* 768 on both standard PC monitor and wide screen tv/monitor.
Anyway post a link

We made it through Thanksgiving, just Scotty and I. Jenny went with her boyfriends family (mom, dad, and two teenage sisters) to the desert to camp out for 8 days, so it was just hub and I.
I bought an 18 lb turkey (hey, we have cats to feed!) and all the fixings. Scotty loves his 'little smokies' Chik 'n' bisket crackers, pepper jack cheese, and cocktail sauce. Me? i dont touch any of that. As usual, i am the one that prepares the turkey, since its the only meal i can do without help. Well, almost without help. i refuse to dig out the giblets etc. So, after we rinsed it out, cleaned it up, it was ready to cook. Our oven is a piece of junk, so we bought a Roaster and put the turkey in that. It turned out great. Scotty and I enjoyed our day, and didnt fight once!
Black Friday. I NEVER venture out into the crowds for this. But, since hub works at Walmart, there was a cookware set for 29 bucks, featured in the Black Friday Ad, that i asked him to pick up for me. It was all i wanted. Our cookware consists of one frying pan and a quart sized pot. Everything else was lost during the move. Sad huh? He came home from work, and said 'sorry no more cookware sets'. When i asked him why, he said 'There was only 5 available to begin with'. WHAT??????? needless to say, thats a load of crap. Now to be completely fair, the ad did say 'Limited Quantities'. Why didnt they just say '5 available'? I emailed Walmart, and told them, that i took my money elsewhere. Not that they care, but it made me feel good.
Yesterday, here on Waltons Mountain, aka Pine Valley, CA (mountains east of San Diego) IT SNOWED!!!!!!!!!!!! you all know how much i love the snow. it started out raining, then while i was sitting, reading a book by my beautiful french doors, i looked up and SNOW! it wasnt much, around 1 or 2 inches. But it snowed. It was beautiful, and i loved it. I almost bought the farm, when i was going to the garage to put the cats inside, to get them out of the weather. The stairs were part snow, and part slush. Mix that with wooden steps, and we have me, slipping a couple of times, almost getting to the bottom faster than i planned on! But its all good. I still love the snow, and cant wait for more!
Thats it for today. If anyone is reading this, can you let me know? i feel like no one is really reading this! xoxo
here it is, when it just started to stick!

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage: The (mostly) True Story of the First Computer
Debut Graphic Novel from Sydney Padua
April 21st
Why I"m excited:
Because it looks joyful! While I do love (and recommend) a lot of darker pieces, I am also always on the lookout for something to brighten my day. 'The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage' imagines what might have happened to Ava Lovelace and Charles Babbage if they had managed to invent the first computer in 1830. (Their real life collaboration resulted in the first known computing equation. It would take over 100 years for that to evolve into an actual computer.) In Padua's re-imagining they use the computer to battle spelling errors, explore math and fight crime!!!! This concept originally started on Padua's blog, http://sydneypadua.com/2dgoggles/ The graphic novel will be wonderful if it's even half as charming as her blog.

Lauren Thomas, program manager at Evans Incorporated, outlines various techniques teachers can use to nurture effective and meaningful learning.
The human brain is a learning machine, designed to extract meaning from new experiences and integrate new information with what is already known. Learning is about building connections between synapses in the brain. When we use or apply what we already know, we strengthen existing connections – which is why habits and routines can be hard to break. When we learn new material, we build new connections, and link them to the network of concepts, ideas and knowledge that we already have.
A good analogy is to think of learning as being like a tree, since our brain builds new "branches" as we process and learn new material. Good teaching capitalizes on the way the brain works, building stronger branches and making learning faster. Incorporating some of the following principles into your training programs will help you to provide learners with opportunities to build and strengthen their connections.
Actively involve your learners – the traditional view of teaching sees learners as "sponges," passively soaking up information. Connections are formed more readily when a learner is actively working with materials, content and ideas. Build into your teaching activities where learners have to mentally use or apply, or discuss with others, the information you are giving them, and you will enhance their learning.
Manage the stress of learning – there is an optimal amount of stress for learning. Too much stress hinders learning, while a certain amount of stress is necessary to motivate learners, and can enhance the learning process. Stress is subjective – so different people have different perceived stress levels in the same situation. If it feels "too much" or "overwhelming" for your learner, then it probably is. Try breaking things down into smaller chunks, or allow learners more time before moving on.
Minimize multi-tasking – multi-tasking is really switching attention rapidly between two or more activities. It hinders learning, since it is not possible to pay attention to two things at the same time. Multi-tasking implies that trainees are continually giving the task only part of their attention. This weakens learning because it is a form of distraction. Try to engineer learning sessions to eliminate or reduce distractions, and focus on one concept at a time.
Take learner preferences into account – people have different preferences for learning and engaging with new material. While the research evidence to support the idea of learning styles is limited, using a wide variety of teaching methods is good practice. The more teaching methods you can use to teach the same material, the more likely you are to appeal to a wider range of learners. Plus, people learn more effectively when the same material is approached in different ways and from different perspectives, using different senses.
Repetition – repeating information strengthens neural connections and supports learning. Each time you revisit a topic or a concept with your learners, look at it in more depth or from a new perspective. You can increase complexity every time your learner encounters the material, starting simply and building mastery over time. Aim for mindful repetition, where knowledge is built or increased over time, rather than mindless regurgitation where a learner recites material without understanding.
Visualization – visualization is a mental strategy that supports learning by strengthening neural associations and pathways. Encourage your learners to visualize material by using spider diagrams and concept maps, drawing and representing what they know graphically. Artistic talent is not required – what is important is the process of creating a diagram that means something to learner. For example, allowing class-time for learners to draw a mind-map at the end of a session is a great opportunity to review what has been learned.
These training principles are well supported by neuropsychological research into how learning takes place. Good teachers probably recognize many of these techniques, although they may not realize that they are using them. If you manage to incorporate just one or two into learning events that you design, you greatly improve the chances that more of what you have taught will actually stick.

So, as we told you about a little while ago, we were lucky enough to be shortlisted for a Brake Charity Australasian Fleet Safety Award. Well, come awards night, we found ourselves going home with not one, but two of the five overall awards!
We were awarded the Fleet Safety product award for Fleetcoach, and our Head of Research was recognised for his contribution to the field with an 'Outstanding Comittment to Road Safety' Award.
The awards purpose are to 'recognise the achievements of those working to help reduce the number of road crashes involving at-work drivers in the Australasia region. They celebrate and share best practice in managing road risk.'
Brake's own write up of the event included this lovely piece on Robert:
This year's award for outstanding commitment to road safety went to Dr Robert Isler, who has put his passion for making our roads safer into driver behaviour research and creating technological solutions. With more than 25 years' experience in road safety research, he has a strong national and international reputation. He pioneered work on a head-mounted 'eye-tracker', which showed that eye movements control to a large degree how drivers move their steering wheel. It also showed that effective eye-scanning behaviour and hazard perception skills can be trained in both laboratory and real driving situations. Using these findings, he developed a number of interactive multimedia training programs, which led to the development of e-Drive and Fleetcoach systems.
We're grateful to all the entrants, because we're all working together for the same purpose, making our roads a safer place. We're also grateful to Brake Charity for the support, and to each and every one of our customers - it is through your recognition of this essential effort that we can do the work we do. Thank you.
You can find out about Brake here, the awards here and the other winners here.

From Poverty to Her Prime - major exhibition on the life of Dame Muriel Spark opens at National Library of Scotland
The manuscript of one of Scotland's most famous novels that was made into an Oscar-winning film has returned home to take pride of place in a free exhibition at the National Library of Scotland celebrating the life of Dame Muriel Spark.
The handwritten pages in four plain exercise jotters bought from James Thin's bookshop in Edinburgh gave birth to one of the great characters of modern literature – Miss Jean Brodie in her prime.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was written in Edinburgh in just four weeks in late 1960 and its publication the following year was to propel Spark to international success. Such is its significance that the manuscript is now owned by the University of Tulsa but it has been loaned to the National Library for the exhibition along with the manuscript of Spark's own favourite novel, The Driver's Seat.
The International Style of Muriel Spark
The International Style of Muriel Spark at the National Library of Scotland features items never previously seen by the public, most of which are from Spark's extraordinary personal archive held at the Library. Spark admitted to being a hoarder of two things – documents and trusted friends. She threw away very little and her archive, as well as containing literary riches, it is full of evidence of her everyday life – shopping receipts, old passports, used airline tickets and much more.
Among the items to be seen are
- Correspondence with some of the biggest names in 20th century literature including Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Doris Lessing, John Updike and Gore Vidal;
- A handwritten note from one of the world's most famous women – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – offering to buy the worldwide rights to Spark's auto-biography;
- Handbags and evening dresses worn by Spark along with invitations to glamorous events sent by presidents, royalty and leading socialites;
- Betting slips and correspondence relating to the racehorse she bought from the Queen;
- The portable typewriter she used for her poetry and reviews in the 1950s;
- A note signed by film star Elizabeth Taylor telling Spark that Taylor and her husband Richard Burton are "great fans";
- A press release she wrote, promoting the idea of a film being made of her early life;
- Original examples of some of her earliest writing penned as a teenager in Edinburgh;
- The ration book from her penniless days in post war London when she struggled to make her way as a writer;
- Dozens of covers of foreign translations of her books;
- Her mother's brass plaque advertising piano lessons that hung outside the family flat in Bruntsfield in Edinburgh
A generous and fun-loving individual
Dr Colin MacIlroy, curator of the exhibition, who has taken two years to carry out archive research on Dame Muriel Spark, said: "What comes through strongly from correspondence in the archive is a picture of a generous, fun loving individual which is not how she has always been portrayed. She did fall out with people and she knew how to stand up for herself but she comes across as a much warmer and caring person than perhaps I was expecting. She kept friends for decades and she was fiercely loyal. I hope this exhibition helps people to get a better understanding of the person behind the books."
Exhibition details
The exhibition is one of the main events in Muriel Spark 100, a year-long programme of activity to celebrate the centenary. It is organised jointly by the Library and Creative Scotland. Events already planned include the publication of new editions of all 22 of Spark's novels; an international academic conference; a walking tour of the places that inspired her in Edinburgh; and an evening of readings, performances and storytelling featuring leading Scottish writers in Edinburgh's Usher Hall in January organised by the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
The International Style of Muriel Spark runs from 8 December 2017 to 13 May 2018 at the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh. Entry is free.

"Safe and sane" is Huntington Beach's approach to fireworks. Sounds great, a nice bit of flashy entertainment for the kids in the driveway, no explosives or projectiles, a little hiss and a bit of a pop.
The reality is far from that. In the downtown area on the Fourth, the smoke was thick and the sound resembled arial bombing. Professional-quality explosives that arched high and wide in the sky were launched for hours accompanied by heavy-duty mortars that rocked our downtown area.

Take my western historical for instance, there are many Native American characters in the story. Although I can do online research to garner gems of information, I still need someone in a knowlegable position to proof what I've written. After all, I could put those gems together in an erroneous manner, ending up with a cheap crystal band, when I was aiming for a diamond tennis bracelet.
Enter my friend, Grace Chiasson Miller of the Mi'kmaq tribe. I email her chapters or passages that contain Native references, and she kindly reponds with her opinion as to whether I'm being true and respectful to Native culture. I am very fortunate to have her--for many reasons. You see, she and I share a grandson. Grace is his maternal grammy and I am his paternal grandma. I like to think this fabulous pre-teen carries within him the best of both of us. Here is a picture of her in her regalia.
All writers need experts to consult when the need arises. Some you may know personally; others, strangers you may contact via email or phone. I once emailed a llama farm in North Carolina with a list of questions about the construction of a llama barn and the birth of a cria, or baby llama, explaining that I was a writer, badly in need of information. The gentleman kindly responded within 24 hours. Experts are invaluable sources that give our writing that essential ring of truth. Find them, cultivate them and thank them. Grace, thank you for your generosity of time and your sharing of Native information. You made my passage on dreams, visions and the ritual of "smudging" truthful to the Native way. I'm very blessed to have you as a source--and as a friend.

Chapter One, Shades of Blue (cont'd)
"Livy Two! Livy Two!" The twins, Caroline and Cyrus, age four, and Gentle, three, prowl the back holler hunting me, but I stay hidden in the spring leaves. Gentle and Caroline wear fairy wings, but Cyrus is dressed up like King Tut. He's as wild for mummies as Caroline and Gentle are for fairies. They want me to play with them, but I want to be alone a little longer before I got to start watching kids again. Gentle listens hard and knows every inch of the holler and don't let being blind stop her at nothing. Emmett whittled her a little cane too, and she uses it all the time except when she's climbing trees, and I taught her to climb trees good as the twins now. But since her hearing is razor sharp, I know soon enough she'll direct the twins to my hiding spot. Our sausage-shaped dog, Uncle Hazard, races after them all howling, "BARROOO-BARROOO!"
Gentle yells, "Livy Two! Livy Two!"
Caroline calls, "When are we going up to Waterrock Knob? The fairy place?"

The diet police are in New York.
New York City's Board of Health has voted to ban artificial trans fats in the city's restaurants. All eateries will be barred from using most frying oils containing artificial trans fats by July 1, 2007 and will have to eliminate artificial trans fats from all its foods by July 1, 2008.
Trans fats are believed to be harmful because they raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg banned smoking in bars and restaurants during his first term.
We agree with banning smoking because second-hand smoke is a real threat to other people. But we disagree with the trans fat ban. You should have a choice to eat trans fats or not as that is not impacting anyone else.
Instead of banning fats, why not require restaurants to post information about what types of fats they use? Then people wanting to limit their intake will know what to order. The desires of the customers will let businesses know whether or not to use trans fat.

Cross-Region Read Replicas for Amazon Aurora
june 2016 by jm
aws mysql databases storage replication cross-region failover reliability aurora
Creating a read replica in another region also creates an Aurora cluster in the region. This cluster can contain up to 15 more read replicas, with very low replication lag (typically less than 20 ms) within the region (between regions, latency will vary based on the distance between the source and target). You can use this model to duplicate your cluster and read replica setup across regions for disaster recovery. In the event of a regional disruption, you can promote the cross-region replica to be the master. This will allow you to minimize downtime for your cross-region application. This feature applies to unencrypted Aurora clusters.

Judith Butler
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Judith Butler (born February 24, 1956) is an American philosopher. She was born in Ohio. She got her Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University in 1984.[1] She lives in Berkeley, California, with her partner Wendy Brown. In 1990 Gender Trouble was published by Routledge. It is considered one of the key works of contemporary feminism[2]. In the book Butler talks about her theory of gender performativity, which is that gender, along with sex and sexuality, is something you "perform" rather than an expression of human biology.

- « ""You'd be surprised how few Hominids started the Human-race" »
- — Helen Cutter thinks humanity breeds like rabbits[src]
Australopithecus was an early hominid species from the Pliocene, which was directly ancestral to humanity.
Australopithecus resembled large, bipedal apes with brown hair coating most of their bodies except for the hand, feet and faces. They shared multiple traits with modern apes and with the humans descended from them, particularly a very humanlike, bipedal walking stance.
Australopithecus also seemed to be highly intelligent, judging from how a dying Australopithecus tried to reach out with a hand towards Danny upon seeing the human. Australopithecus apparently lived close together in very large numbers, consisting of a dozen members if not dozens.
Incursions and encounters
Episode 3.10
Helen Cutter, in an attempt to avert the Future Predators' future creation and change the future, travelled to Site 333 in the Pliocene on a mission to kill the early Australopithecus so that Humanity would not evolve to create the Predators in the first place.
Helen found a group of thirteen Australopithecus and killed them by poisoning the river they drank from. Danny Quinn later found the Australopithecus' bodies, and comforted one of them as it died. Later, after Helen's death, Danny found a large group of more Australopithecus in the Pliocene, ensuring humanity's survival.
Real life
Australopithecus (name menaing "southern ape") was a hominid genus which lived from approximately 4 to 2 million years ago, apparently evolving in eastern Africa before spreading throughout the continent. Most Australopithecus shared many traits with modern primates, usually standing at 1.3 metres tall, and possessing a brain roughly 35% the size of a human's. Australopithecus was originally discovered in 1924.
- According to the official Primeval website, the mass killing of the group of Austrailopithecus by Helen Cutter was already in the fossil record.
- On the Primeval website, Australopithecus is simply referred to as Homonid.
- The Australopithecus in Primeval are larger than the real animal, which was somewhat shorter than a human, but when the ones in the show are seen dead by Danny Quinn, they look like they should be nearly the same height.

Up early and on our way into the parks!
At the gate we were heading in, we learned we couldn't go into Teton very far that way because the road was closed due to the bears loading up on berries right along the roadway. Apparently they thought that might be a safety issues? We decided to drive in as far as we could. It was through the forest, and we saw a young black bear walking along the road, but it took off fast when the car in front of us started driving on.
A bit further we saw a few cars stopped, which always means wildlife. There was a bear (and maybe a cub) resting by the bigger tree in the picture.
We saw a deer up further, but I didn't get a good picture of that.
When we got as far as we could go (looking longingly at the road closed sign, knowing there were bears ahead!), we turned around and headed back to enter through Jackson. We stopped for a quick potty break at the museum there (went back to really look around the next day).
I love the elk just inside the building!
Love the Tetons! Just beautiful.
My cute bunny. :)
More selfies!
I told them the pictures turn out better if I take them. :)
Stopped for a quick lunch.
Isaac was always happy to get out of his car seat. He ate about every non-mommy meal strapped in the car, poor kid.
Finally to Yellowstone!
As we entered, we found out one of the roads was closed. Old Faithful immediately off the list of things to see.
We got out near West Thumb and walked through the Geyser Basin.
If you look closely, you can see Adam and Sam through the mist (between Jamie and Madeleine).
We had a bit of sadness here. Adam left a part of himself at Yellowstone. This picture shows him with it.
A bit down the trail and around the corner, there it is through the slats of the walkway on the ground. We couldn't think of any way to retrieve it. :( He got that several years ago on a family vacation to Mesa, then later it broke and lived in a baggie for years. Two general conferences ago he had it all put together a few times, but the ends were too short, or just as he was about to finish it fell apart. He finally gave up. Last general conference he put it all together, and has worn it almost daily since. He picked up Madeleine, the magnetic clasp came apart, and it fell straight through the slats. Guess mom needs to search for the beads to replace it.
(You can click the pictures to see them full size if you didn't know.)
This mud pot freaked Carolyn out. Just as I was walking over towards her, she turned to say something, saw it spit out some mud, and jumped. It was pretty funny.
Further up the road we went on the Mud Volcano walk.
Carolyn said the Dragon's Mouth geyser was her favorite.
When we got back to the van, this beautiful raven was hanging out right in front of it. He posed perfect while Jamie and I took pictures.
Further up the road, we met the only bison we saw up close.
Yellowstone Grand Canyon!
Lots of new growth trees around. Exciting to see the forest coming alive again after fires.
We took a walk through the Norris Geyser Basin, an area that I don't think I've been to before. Steamboat Geyser, the world's tallest active but very unpredictable geyser, did not perform for us.
The geyser below, Vixen Geyser, was performing quite well, shooting bursts up water pretty high into the air. Apparently this one has two types of eruptions, and we got to see the more rare type.
At Gibbon Falls, just a few of us jumped out of the van to go look. When we came running back, Jamie apparently asked Sam why we were running. "Because Gibbon fell."
Adam taking a picture.
Melanie taking a picture.
Carolyn looking cold.
That evening we found a place in West Yellowstone to eat. Isaac practiced his driving while we waited a few minutes for an empty table.

My only answer is to look up..

This painting, as well as your introduction to it, reminds me of the wonderful concept I saw on an 'encouragement card' yesterday: 'When the sky is falling, hold up your hands.' I love it.

AMETHYST #1 by Jon McNally
Jonathan McNally is an artist residing in Portland, Oregon. You can see more of his work at http://jonmcnally.blogspot.com and http://jonmcnally.deviantart.com.
Jon says: Much time has passed since young Amy Winston was a mere Princess of Gemworld. In her desperate struggles against the tyrant Dark Opal, the Flaw and the Child, and the archsorcerer Mordru, Amy drew upon the planet's limitless energies, becoming an avatar of Gemworld itself. Now, a lifetime away from Earth, Amy shields the inhabitants of Gemworld from menaces beyond time and space. She is AMETHYST, GODDESS OF GEMWORLD.
Amethyst was created by Dan Mishkin, Gary Cohn and Ernie Colón . Read more...

Once again, a concept that I would normally not be super-interested in, but would be rushing to the store to buy based on McNally's work. DC Comics, surely you're aware of this blog! Put these creators to work!ReplyDelete
Amethyst was my choice to take over the fantasy and comics aimed more squarely at girls niches of the nuDC. DC didn't take the bit. If she's fighting para-demons of all kinds, then I can't resist.ReplyDelete
Would read? Yes, my inner girl wants to.
Gotta love those red para-demons!ReplyDelete
hah! awesome, jon!ReplyDelete
there are a small band of my followers dying for me to reboot Amethyst. i'm so glad you did her for them. WAY better. :)
Amazing artstyle, stunning visual!ReplyDelete
Aw, yeah! Love McNally's work.ReplyDelete
