Arthur Rorheim was born in Chicago in 1918 to Norwegian immigrant parents, Rasmus Ole Rorheim and Alida Rorheim. Art's brother, Roy, had been born four years earlier in 1914. The family moved back to Norway briefly after Arthur's birth, but returned to Chicago 1920 or 1921. The Rorheim family then lived in a house in Chicago where they often housed Norwegian emigrants for a time.
Rorheim was convinced of his need to know Christ by his parents, friends, and especially the words of his brother, Roy, before his death due to spinal meningitis in 1928. Rorheim accepted Christ at the age of ten, immediately after Roy's death, and became involved with the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle's youth ministry. It was there that Art first became associated with Lance Latham, who directed the White Shirt Brigade, a boys choir of which Art was a member.
After graduating from high school, Rorheim worked for eight years as a printer, but continued to be very heavily involved in the Tabernacle and youth work in his spare time. When he was twenty-six, Lance Latham asked him to be director of the North Side Gospel Center's summer camp. He agreed and quit his job. In the fall, he was hired as the Center's youth director. By this time he was married and had two children.
Over the years, Rorheim and others at the Center developed a program of Bible training and clubs for children at every age level. Other churches began asking for copies of the manuals and uniforms developed for the Center's program. By 1950, Rorheim, Latham and others involved in the program decided it needed to get its own facility and it should be incorporated as a separate organization - the Awana Youth Association (later changed to Awana Clubs International). Rorheim became its executive director.
Under Rorheim's direction, Awana provided upbeat programs for boys and girls which included such things as Olympics and the Fairmont Fair. The competition section of the program was always followed by a gospel presentation that focused on the importance of the atoning blood of Christ. During the 1950s, hundreds of young people became involved with Awana across the country.
Nine hundred Awana Clubs nationwide had been chartered by the year 1960. The headquarters were moved to a four thousand square foot facility on Belmont Ave. in Chicago. The continual growth of Awana necessitated a move to suburban Rolling Meadows in 1971. The change in name from Awana Youth Association to Awana Clubs International reflected the organization's shift from a national to a global emphasis.

Madly, Deeply by Erica Crouch
Genres: Young Adult, Romance, Fantasy, Retelling
[Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo]
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea...
Annaleigh Wells and William Calloway had a love even the angels envied. It was as if the universe spun them toward one another, like the stars crafted their souls to fit perfectly together.
With a wedding on the horizon, fate had a change of heart. Whispered warnings from phantoms and morbid nightmares darkened every night—but even visions of the future couldn't save Annaleigh.
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem Annabel Lee, Crouch's period romance Madly, Deeply tells the tale of love so great, it cannot be contained in just one life.
Poe's voice is not lost with Madly, Deeply. His impression on the story is still seen in Erica Crouch's haunting retelling. The essence of his dark, Gothic style is captured perfectly by the author and continuously reminded me of Poe. It's heavy on the emotions and twists. More than once, I was caught up in Crouch's world and had a hard time distinguishing it from Poe's own works.
Everything about this story fit cohesively in a way that was befitting of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and their deep emotions. The descriptions were so stunning and detailed that I felt like I was in the story right alongside Anna and William. If you enjoy a haunting love story reminiscent of Poe, Madly, Deeply is the book for you.
**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review with no compensation.

Much needed rain in drought-stricken Queensland, Australia, brought not only delight to locals but also confusion, with the mysterious appearance of small fish far from any water holes. Tahnee Oakhill from Bernfels station said she was stunned to see a number of fish flapping on a gravel road in front of her home on Wednesday. The fish appeared after 75 millimetres of rain fell on the Oakhill's property, 70 kilometres north-west of Winton in western Queensland. "It's pretty crazy, getting that much rain was pretty shocking and then that happening after that ... it's been a weird week," Ms Oakhill said.
Ms Oakhill said her husband found the fish and raced inside to tell her and their children.
"If he tells me it's just rained fish I'm going to go out and have a look because he's either mad or it's [really] just happened," she said.
Ms Oakhill said her children spent hours rescuing the fish.
"They had a ball, they were going a little bit bat crazy in the house with the rain and the wet day," she said.
"[Then] they were out there in the mud for hours after that, collecting them up and putting them in a container with some water and trying to figure out what they were going to do with these fish.
They were pretty amazed, I think it was very exciting for them."
Ecologist Dr Peter Unmack from the University of Canberra said it was unlikely the fish had fallen from the sky.
He said the fish appeared to be spangled perch.
"This is the most widespread fish across Australia, almost anywhere there's water in northern Australia you can find this fish," Dr Unmack said.
"In central Australia it's ubiquitous, it's pretty much everywhere and they are amazing dispersers."
Dr Unmack said the spangled perch was an aggressive fish and very adept at moving across big distances in a short period of time - even in a small amount of water.
"When water comes they want to get away from their brothers and sisters because they've all been beating each other up horribly for a long time," he said.
They just want to get away as fast as they can the first chance that comes along."
However, he said it was possible for fish to fall from the sky in very rare circumstances.
"The other key point is if you did get massive updrafts of water and fish that got carried up into the clouds, everything up there is frozen because it's too cold," he said.
"So if you dropped the fish from the sky they'd be frozen solid, not flapping around.
So it is theoretically possible, but it's difficult to see many situations where fish get picked up by strong winds and can survive."
There are videos of the fish being found here and here.

It's getting hot in Latin America, and it's not just World Cup fever coming out of Brazil.
The region once again dominated A.T. Kearney's annual Global Retail Development Index, which selects 30 out of 200 developing nations and scores them on criteria including political risk, population, saturation and retail sales. The rankings determine how important it is for retailers to plant their flag there.
The firm's findings highlighted that retailers are continuing their push into developing markets, and have started to learn that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to expansion. Many retailers initially looked abroad as a result of slowed growth in the U.S., seeing it as an opportunity to boost sales.
"They have become more strategic in their expansion and in avoiding the operational pitfalls of entries into developing markets," the study said. "The leaders are also identifying the unique challenges of each market, from India's foreign direct investment policies to Brazil's high duties to Turkey's high credit card regulations."
The rankings not only gauge today's most successful markets, but examine which will be the strongest performers down the road. Three Latin American countries ranked in the study's top five, one of which dethroned last year's top-ranked Brazil.
New to the top 10 this year were Kazakhstan and Malaysia, whose appeal to premium luxury shoppers outweighed their small populations.

If you are someone who likes to engage in historical re-enactments or happen to be an armor enthusiast, there is no doubt you have been to conventions or Renaissance fairs where you have seen steel and leather armor for sale. As you stand there debating which type to add to your collection next, steel armor may appear to be the obvious choice. After all, it tends to be the more popular and effective style. However, like any upstanding consumer, it's always best to gather all the facts to enable an informed purchasing decision. With this in mind, don't overlook the value of leather armor, as well as its place in history. For your own enlightenment, here's what you need to know to aid in your decision making process when you see leather armor for sale and wonder if it's really worth it.
Leather armor has dabbled at various times in various places in armor history. There is much speculation and argument over its use beyond mere fantasy role playing. Amidst this back and forth battle, at least one thing can be said with certainty. Leather armor was present during the Middle Ages. In particular, this armor type was a strong presence in the early part of the period, but, of course, nothing lasts forever. By the Late Middle Ages, its presence faded. Still, leather armor had a good run.
For knights and soldiers, it was a staple of their wardrobe and a "go to". This was because it was cost effective and didn't require a wild goose chase to find it. In addition, leather armor didn't require one to be a master armor artisan in order to make and maintain it. If the armor was damaged, a soldier was able to make repairs himself. Another advantage of leather armor was its lightweight nature and mobility. When entering the battlefield, a medieval fighter would not feel the bulkiness and inflexibility of some of the other armor types and thus, he was able to have maximum effectiveness against his opponents.
At the beginning stages of the evolution of leather armor, it was used as a stand alone material with no added components. As time went on, metal plates were added for extra reinforcement. While this proved to be effective for protection against cutting prowess, it didn't deliver against punctures.
To remedy this, the next phase of improvement surfaced in the form of boiled leather, also known as "cuir bouilli". The way this was done was through boiling leather in oil or molten wax. After letting the leather marinate for a bit, it was pulled out and shaped into various pieces, like breastplates, gauntlets, etc. Then it was left to dry and harden. When all was said and done, a soldier had a much more durable piece of leather that did achieve the goal of withstanding punctures. As with everything in life, there are drawbacks and the down side to boiled leather was that it didn't possess longevity. It had the tendency to crack and rot, especially when exposed to inclimate weather. Fortunately, as stated above, leather was cheap and easy to fix, so it wasn't the end of the world.
In the later years of leather armor, it shifted from being something worn on its own to being a base for other types of armor, such as chainmail or plate armor. It served as an inner layer for metal armor to provide greater protection and comfort as well. While leather armor eventually made an exit, there is no denying the foundation it laid for shaping the future of armor as we know it today.
In conclusion, leather armor is far from a thing of fiction. It is living, breathing, and in some ways, an inspiration. Was it perfect? Of course not, but then again, what is? So, the next time you see a booth with steel or leather armor for sale, be sure to give the latter some extra consideration.

In doing so, the database makes comparative data available that can contribute to better treatment and patient care, and enhance research.
Organ transplants
- How many organ transplants are done in Canada each year?
In 2014, there were 2,356 solid organ transplants in Canada.
- Which organ is most commonly transplanted in Canada each year?
In 2014, there were 1,430 kidney transplants in Canada, accounting for the majority of single-organ transplants (61%). Other single-organ transplants included 537 liver, 161 heart, 226 lung and 79 pancreas transplants.
Transplant waiting lists
- How many people are waiting for a transplant?
As of December 31, 2014, there were 4,514 people waiting for an organ transplant. Of these patients, 77% were waiting for a kidney transplant, and 11% were waiting for a liver transplant. This does not include 75 patients who were waiting for an islet cell transplant.
- How many people are on dialysis in Canada?
In 2014, there were 5,269 new dialysis patients. The number of patients on dialysis followed in the CORR database as of December 31, 2014, was 20,690. The majority of dialysis patients were on hemodialysis (77%), with the balance on peritoneal dialysis (23%).

Organ donors
- How many organ donors are there?
In 2014, there were 592 deceased organ donors. In addition, there were 553 living donors.
- How are organ donations from deceased and living organ donors different?
A living donor provides a single organ for transplant, but a deceased organ donor can provide up to 8 organs. In addition, living donors are often related to the recipient, while this is not necessarily the case for deceased organ donors.
- How can someone become an organ donor?
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an organ donor, please connect with your local organ procurement organization.

By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Oct 19, 2015 1:25 PM CDT 69 comments Comments Santiago Salazar (Antioch Police Department via ABC 7) (Newser) – Sandra Ferguson, a teacher's aide at Sutter Elementary School in Antioch, Calif., recognized a student at the school sitting in the front seat of a car while Ferguson was on her way to work Friday. Not recognizing the man, and noticing the 11-year-old girl looked frightened, Ferguson stopped and took action. "I said, 'Sweetheart, is that your dad?' She said, 'No, he's a friend.' I said, 'No, he's not your friend!'" Ferguson tells ABC 7. "I put my car in front of his and blocked him in. I told her, 'You get out of that truck right now!'" Police say by doing so, Ferguson stopped an alleged kidnapping. Ferguson called police, and they arrested Santiago Salazar, 51, on suspicion of kidnapping; he didn't try to flee. Police say the girl, who was not harmed, did not know Salazar, but he lured her to his vehicle and then grabbed her wrist to pull her inside. "It was kind of like a superwoman power thing," Ferguson tells the New York Daily News of her good deed. "It was like, wow, I can't believe it did that!" (Read more kidnapping stories.)

City Guide: The Best Places to Get Waxed in Los Angeles
If ever there's a part of our beauty routine that gives us mixed feelings, it's waxing. Sure, there's an extra spring in our step when we leave the salon freshly waxed. But the 20 minutes leading up to that moment are sheer agony (too dramatic?). We've hopped around from salon to salon trying to find the one that makes the situation most bearable—these are the six salons that top our list!
Location: West Hollywood
Ma Maíson de Beauté is a little oasis tucked inside a West Hollywood bungalow. The french doors are always open, letting in plenty of natural light and fresh air, and the entire space is always impeccably clean. Everyone who works there is friendly, and they're always very accommodating. But the real reason we go back is that the Brazilians take 10 minutes max. Seriously, you're in and out of there in under 12 minutes without sacrificing quality. Both Diana and Jessi do a fabulous job.
8804 Rosewood Ave., West Hollywood, CA 90048
Location: North Hollywood
This unassuming little spot in the heart of the NoHo Arts District may not look like much, but they know what they're doing there. The staff is friendly, and they're precise—sticklers for detail. Go see Tonya; you won't be disappointed. The Beauty Strip also has a lovely selection of lingerie and beauty products, in case you're ever in the mood for a little post-wax shopping.
5217 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601
Location: Beverly Hills
This place is real no-nonsense waxing salon. We debated even putting it on our list but decided it would be selfish of us to keep the secret. Though you wouldn't know it by a quick Google search, Magic Touch Waxing Salon has been around for over 30 years (seriously, just try to find a picture of it online). The salon has remained the go-to spot for those in the know (including celebrities), but don't expect Beverly Hills opulence (or a Beverly Hills price tag). One caveat: They don't accept credit cards, so bring cash!
321 South Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90212
Locations: Westwood, West Hollywood (coming soon)
Our editor got her introduction to Uni K Wax Centers in Miami (aka the land of the Brazilians—so you know it's good), and she's never looked back. What keeps her coming back? To quote, "It was the least painful bikini wax I have ever gotten, and it's that way every time. They use a proprietary all-natural hard wax specifically developed for their salons. It's green (not blue) and applied at room temperature (rather than piping hot). All that adds up to a waxing experience that's so painless our editor calls it "sorcery." (Word to the wise: Uni K has locations all over Florida and New York and is working on new locations in New Jersey and California.)
1045 Westwood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024
Locations: Culver City, Brentwood
You'll feel right at home at the Queen Bee Salon and Spa. The salon is warm and inviting—almost a little "fairy tale–esque," as our editor would say. So inviting, in fact, it was the spot our editor chose to lose her waxing virginity, and they made her feel right at home. The waxers clearly know what they're doing and will give you plenty of post-wax tips. And best of all, they're fast. When you go, be sure to head home with Queen Bee's Buzz Off Bumps ($24)—it's a lifesaver for ingrown hairs.
10182 Culver Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232
Locations: Silver Lake, West Hollywood
At Stark Waxing Studio, the space is chic, minimalist, and clean. The staff is knowledge, professional, and approachable—basically they're exactly the type of people you would want to be controlling hot wax. They use hard wax (the blue kind, which is great for sensitive skin), but remarkably that doesn't seem to have any negative effects on their speed. We happen to love Stark's Body Scrub ($18) for between-waxes exfoliation.
8701 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069
Have you been to any of these salons? L.A. ladies, tell us your favorite spots in the comments below!

11AAA vs 11AA: What South Dakota Football Class is Playing Better?
Last Updated by
The South Dakota high school football season is nearing the halfway point, and some teams have broken through as a force to be reckoned with this year. While some stats appear more obvious than others, the overall team records hold a bit of a twist.
Jerry Palleschi with ESPN 99.1 in Sioux Falls covers high school football in the Sioux Empire. On Monday, he reported on something interesting in the overall team standings. Class 11AA currently holds a 5-3 (win/loss) record against 11AAA teams this season.
11AAA Wins:
Sioux Falls Roosevelt 41 Harrisburg 8
Sioux Falls Washington 43 Yankton 19
Rapid City Stevens 39 Sturgis 3
11AA Wins:
Brookings 28 Sioux Falls Lincoln 22
Yankton 36 Aberdeen Central 25
Pierre 28 Watertown 27 (2OT)
Mitchell 13 Watertown 10 (OT)
Spearfish 25 Rapid City Central 23
The season still has plenty of games remaining, and in two weeks this cross-conference record could (it probably will) look a lot different.

Freestyle motocross rider Jeremy Lusk was killed last night during an X-Knights event in Costa Rica.
Lusk was attempting a stunt called a Seatgrab Indian Backflip when he lost control, with his head slamming into the ground.
Lusk was rushed to Calderon Hospital ICU in San Jose, where he was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma, and underwent a 4 1/2-hour long surgery. He was then put into a medically induced coma and never regained consciousness.
Lusk was a rising star in the sport, grabbing X Game gold in the FMX event and silver in Moto X best trick. Lusk was named FMX rider of the year in December.
Here's the Jeremy Lusk crash video. The crash itself is at 2:47 in.

I need to feed my soul. I have been putting myself on this almost deprivation diet in hopes that my body will rest and heal itself. But, I think it's time for some divine intervention!
The first item on my Soul Food List? MUSIC. Such a simple solution; healing medicine and absolutely free. Yet I have sat here in my silence for far too long. As the first strands of banjos and snare drums snake their way through my nervous system and into my brain, I can already feel my body relaxing into these soothing sounds. I pause to slightly sway, stimulating my lymphatic system, adding some gentle foot pumps for extra "oomph." I've slowed my breathing to a measured refrain.
I have been so caught up (again- sigh) in all the ways my body is not working right now; all the spots that are thrumming with pain; all the activities I've had to bow out of… These are the things I know. They are smack dab in the front of my everyday face. Why focus on that? I am only amplifying the pain. And the loss.
And in the middle of this melancholy, I've lost sight of the simple things that lift my spirits, that help my mind drift away from the darkness of pain (and fear) into the light of healing (and love!).
I was graciously invited to an amazing collective meditation at 4:11 EST this past Saturday. At that exact moment, every planet in our Universe created a perfect star around the Sun. Harmony. A portal into divine light. We began with ten sensual singing bowls, opening up the sleeping channels of higher consciousness that resides in us all.
We let our minds and our bodies float on the soothing, guiding words of our conduit that day, Mimi. Through her guidance, I was able to experience a pulsing, swirling, expanding circle of light that wove it's tendrils to all the corners of the Earth. To the heavens above. And Mother Earth below. I was at once one with everything as everything was one with me. The Divine Goddess Energy became one with the Masculine… no longer male and female… just living, breathing Beings.
As the meditation came to a close, we were guided to return to our bodies, to the physical realm. Suddenly, I was lost in a sea of black. Complete and utter darkness. Where had all this warm, strong, healing energy and light of just moments before gone? I could feel it vibrating behind me, almost lying in wait as I lost all guiding light back to Earth. As I struggled with this dichotomy, a clear voice came to me…
"You will encounter much darkness as you bring this experience back to Earth. It is easiest to spread light onto others who are already experiencing glimmers of light and love. Your task is to bring the light into the corners of darkness, to shine your love and energy onto those who struggle with receiving it."
As soon as I silently accepted this "mission," shards of light started to splinter around my entire being until there was so much light, I became pure energy.
That evening I came home and continued my connection, listening to native music while drawing the abstract light being (angel) who led me on this powerful journey.
Yet, since that night, I have been adrift. Lost once again in this sea of unremitting pain and worry that this pain will be what I will feel from this moment on. Selfish thoughts of missing out on the holiday festivities to come; guilt over cancelling and being inconsistent with my commitments to my friends and family; unable to do anything but sit and stare. Sit and stare.
But, then I suddenly awoke from my afternoon (well let's just be honest, and say my "all-day") nap, and was driven to write. To put on music and reignite that inner fire. To awaken my Soul Beacon, and let its wavering light start to trickle outwards again.
Truthfully, I have been away from blogging because I have yet to complete my "task" of awarding ten other bloggers with the kind awards that were bestowed upon me. This activity has overwhelmed me, mind, body and spirit. And for this I've allowed deep roots of shame to grow beneath me; creating an impasse to any spontaneous writing and healing.
This is my Soul Food.
All of you are my Soul Food.
I needed to sit and stare until I remembered that.
The holidays to come aren't about making the best (one-up-manship) sides for dinner, or hitting the sales that invade my brain with their earworm tactics. It's about doing what I can. And knowing that I am enough.
All my family wants, is me.
And all I want is my family… born into, married into, chosen.
Perhaps, for today, the darkest place that needed light was me. Now I am ready to start spreading that light to you.
Interesting that this comes to me on the eve of the Festival of Lights. Happy Hanukkah… we can all rejoice in the miracle of taking a small amount of fuel (energy-light) and spreading it out, until it exponentially grows into days and days and days of lighting the way for others.
May you discover moments to spread your own light and love in the coming days.

HOT SPOTS... On the Internet!!!

Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou!!ReplyDelete
This is amazing.
AHA! Lon Chaney is your favorite. I knew it! No I didn't. Great article Meredith. My problem of late has been purchasing books. besides your recommendations, the McFarland co. is killing me. Latest one being about Olive Borden. I do not own many films. I rely mainly on TCM or the Silent Theatre on Fairfax when I'm in LA to avoid burnout. I know it's nice to have a film library at your command but I would probably overuse them. Unless I could find a company that carries the complete works of Monta Bell or a Stanley Blystone. lol . ThanksReplyDelete
Thanks so much! Most of these sources were unknown to me - but I've a feeling they and my wallet are going to be getting pretty well acquainted in the near future...ReplyDelete
Felix & Matt: You're welcome!!! I hope you find all sorts of gems. I can see you are suckers just like me!ReplyDelete
Bill: Believe me, $ burns a hole in my pocket where books are concerned too! I will need a vast library one day when I build my dream house. :) Glad you are utilizing TCM... Definitely the smarter route.

UPDATE: Two men arrested in Clifford Clarke investigation released
Two men arrested in connection with the murder of a man killed nearly 15-years-ago have been released as of yesterday evening (Monday).
Clifford Clarke was found dead in his flat, off High Street, Uppingham on Sunday, September 10 2000. He had been stabbed several times to his chest and neck. No-one has ever been charged with his murder.
Numerous people have been arrested in connection with his death over the years, but all were released with no further action.
Detectives made a renewed appeal last week for information and two men were arrested on suspicion of Clifford's murder.
A 30-year-old man has been released on bail, a 32-year-old man has been released with no further action.
Detective Sergeant Kev Burdett, who is working on the case said: "This murder took place nearly 15 years ago. Clifford was well known around the town, often visiting the green near his home. To locals he was known as Shaky, due to his shaky appearance caused by an illness.
"Since then time has moved on, people have grown up and allegiances between friends will have broken down.
"I believe those who were living in Uppingham at the time of the offence hold the key to us finding who is responsible for Mr Clarke's death.
"You may not have felt able to speak out about it at the time - maybe you were protecting someone, or didn't think it was appropriate to contact us about someone you knew or were close to.
"Time has moved on and friendships have changed, you could have pushed it to the back of your mind, thought it no longer mattered. It does, we need to know what you know.
"Contact us so we can bring those responsible to justice."
Shortly after Mr Clarke's death detectives revealed they had found three pieces of evidence which they believed were significant to the inquiry.
They were a small vegetable knife with 'Made in Japan' on the blade and some keys on a chain. Both were found in a drain about a quarter of a mile from Mr Clarke's home.
A shoe print was also found in the blood in his flat.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101. Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111.
If you have information in response to this appeal please contact us on 101. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Your personal details won't be taken, information isn't traced or recorded and you will not be required to go to court.

text: Hey ther all of you here at the Droid forums community. First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone who actively posts and helps all us noobs out and deal with our retardation. Now before I begin I would like to state my intentions. I am slowly learning about the world that is Droid.I plan to learn a lot about hacking and the rooting options about android and then create video tutorials as to how to accomplish these things. The videos will be in depth and noon proof. I have one in the works about how to root, and how to change the boot animation. Now I am going to list the following questions I have. Anyone with any idea about the answer or has any experience in that field feel free to place any input. Thanks guys! OK.... Now I have been able to change the visual aspect o the boot animation, but how do I change the audio. I'm pretty sure it is possible because I remember seeing a video on YouTube of someone who changes their boot animation to a spinning 3d android logo, with a green day song playing in the Background. Another. I remember downloading a program from the marketplace called ringdroid. It allowed me to set mp3 s as alarm sounds. I recently redownloaded it and all it is is an audio editing software that allows you to splice it up for ringtone use. Did I download the wrong app? What did I do wrong this time around? Do you need to be rooted to tether? If not can anyone either provide links to other threads as to how to complete this proccess or simply give a step by step description as to how to allow wireless.. or wired tethering via Droid. Again I do not know much a out tethering or its current capabalities with the Droid. Is there currently any way to have animated wallpapers? How to backup you Droid? If I decided to install 2.1... how would I create a backup image of the droid I have .. and how would I restore it later? This new glass theme. How does one install this? Are there others similar to that? And where can they be found? What is busybody? And how do you install it. Pros, Cons? Is there an easy to use program out there that can be used to sync you Droid up to hour PC. Do the usually stuff. Like Calender, pictures, videos, music, documents, etc I know you guys post links here to some of The most recent apostle, and update relates files and info. Is there another site that does the same and has all the files? Where do u guys get your info? Again guys. Thanks oh so much for being as awesome as you have been. Thanks in advanced. I willtry to give everyone credit in he videos when I release them. Again guys thanks so Maurice for not only helping me but helping me trying to help other clueless souls out there as myself. LOL. And yea, I like all of you can't wait For 2.1.. and is wearing him of patients I was expecting his to be out by last week.. ahhhhhbh I love my Droid. Typed this whole thing up on it. So yea I there arrested type OS sorry. = )

British Columbia, Mount Robson Provincial Park, Mount Robson
During the week of August 27, C.G. set out to attempt a solo climb of Mount Robson or Resplendent. He made it to the col between the two mountains. During a violent storm his tent was destroyed and ice ax lost. Feeling he no longer had the necessary equipment to continue safely, he activated his personal locator beacon at 1300 on September 3. The signal was received by the Rescue Coordination Center, in Victoria, British Columbia. They notified the Mount Robson Park Rangers who in turn notified the Jasper National Park Warden Service at 1645. The Jasper Warden Service conducted an aerial search for C.G. and found him uninjured at the col at 1922.
Mount Robson is a serious undertaking for a party of experienced climbers, let alone a solo climber with minimal climbing experience in the area. It is riddled with numerous hazards ranging from crevasses, to serac fall, to avalanches, to poor weather. A climber must be able to evaluate and select routes to negotiate these hazards. C.G. was warned of these hazards by a Robson Park Ranger before attempting the mountain. If C.G. had not attempted the mountain with other experienced mountaineers, he may have been able to retreat. C.G. was extremely fortunate to have not fallen into a crevasse or to have succumbed to one of the many other hazards of mountain travel. Fortunately, C.G. was carrying a device to activate a rescue, although it did take some time for his location to be pinpointed and then relayed to the appropriate rescue agency. A radio or satellite phone would have allowed him to communicate directly to rescue personnel. (Source: Jasper National Park Warden Service, L.P.)

Hey guys, so this is my first post so bare with me. I am working a problem set in a precalc workbook and came across this:
The answer i always arrive at no matter how I work it comes out 9^x but the answer sheet on the problem set says that it is 3^(x+1).
Can someone give me a break down of how this is worked??? I've scoured everything but the dark web looking for a solution and can find nothing. Further more, I have found that I am having the same issue with every problem of this type. I feel I'm forgetting a simple rule here.
fyi, I am teaching myself calculus as a hobby.
Thanks in Advance,

National Survey by School Improvement Network Reveals Educator Opinions about Pay, Bonuses for Student PerformanceSchool Improvement Network released results of a national survey of educators showing educator perceptions of their pay, and opinions about possible bonuses for student performance. As part of their commitment to give educators a voice on issues impacting education, School Improvement Network regularly conducts educator surveys as part of the "Voices of Education" survey series.
"Educators are an invaluable and significantly underemphasized part of developing a strong workforce and stable economy through their impact on students," said Chet D. Linton, School Improvement Network CEO and president. "It is vital that we invest in teacher growth and development to help them become as effective as possible and increase their ability to impact student performance and help students master the skills they need to graduate ready for college and career."
The Educator Pay Survey revealed that 70 percent of educators nationwide feel they are fairly compensated in their work, and 81 percent have pursued additional training or certification to increase salary. Only 23 percent of educators said they would alter their teaching methods if a bonus were given for improved student performance.

One day the spirit laid it on my heart to actually ask, yes ask my husband what he thought of what I was wearing. He said the usual, "You look great in whatever you wear Sweetheart!" But I pressed him a little more. Finally he sat up and smiled, actually shocked that I wanted him to critique my outfit. He did so and to my surprise it was more dressier than what I would wear. My husband wanted me to look more chic and less frumpy. I took him shopping with me on occasion and he picked outfits with more colors and sass than I would have. I love the way I look and feel in what he chooses and he has stopped me from making several fashion mistakes.
It came as a big surprise to me that my husband views on what looks good and mine were different. Not that I looked horrible, just that I didn't take into consideration what he thought looks good on me. I figured that he's a man, he really doesn't care as long as I looked presentable. So, there I was, dressing to what was comfortable to me. That was a few years back and since then I no longer seek approval of what trends are in or what my girlfriends think looks good on me. I'm only interested in having "one" man love the way I look and that is my husband, Michael.
We even had a talk about modesty. I always assumed that he didn't want anything showing. He let me know that from breast to knees were what he wanted covered. Sleeveless wasn't a big deal for him, or off the shoulder, as long as no cleavage was exposed. Skirts and dresses were fine but, he preferred jeans. I was soo surprised because long skirts to the floor and long sleeves was what "I" felt was modest.
Now I often include him and ask his opinion on how I look. It's like having my own personal stylist and the best part is, he works for free!! Another great perk, I don't have to guess if my husband will love it! I know he will because he gave his seal of approval before he sees the finished look. I don't take him shopping every single time and I don't have to wait until he gets home just to get dressed. I just include his favorite choices and try to keep what he loves to see me wearing in mind when I shop.
I challenge wives to include your husband in your wardrobe selection. You may have two very, different ideas as to what is modest or what he finds appealing. After all, we do want to look attractive for our husbands. The benefits are that you know that he will love it, instead of relying on the sales clerk saying he will. God has put him as the head and anything he chooses as a man of God will reflect in his decision to also please Christ, and he will always put your best foot forward in comfort and in style!

Brody à la main24/01/2008 - par Mark Tungate
The news that Neville Brody is to design next year's book for the D&AD Awards has put me in a nostalgic mood. As you know, the D&AD (for Designers and art directors) is one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies in the overcrowded advertising calendar. And as a design legend, it's only right that Brody should be recruited to create its annual. His company, Research Studios, is influencing a new generation of designers with its merging of digital and graphical worlds. But Brody is also a name from my pop culture past.
Brody was the designer of The Face, one of the most influential magazines in British publishing history. Unfortunately, it stopped in 2004, presumably because its readership had become aged and stooped, and less interested in all things hip ; or possibly because the magazine itself had failed to evolve. The real heyday of The Face was in the 1980s. I can still remember eagerly reading it over a cappuccino in the Bar Italia in Soho, and hearing about a strange new film called Blade Runner. Such was the influence of The Face on my thinking that I knew I would go and see the film, just because the magazine had featured it.
Brody went on to design the men's magazine Arena - another of my favourites - and lots of other things besides : including the logo of the Citadium store here in Paris. But no matter what he's done since, for me Brody will always be the man who designed the cultural landscape of my adolescence.

AUGUSTA — A South China man will spend 90 days in jail for threatening to shoot a district court judge.
Shawn R. Breton, 37, pleaded guilty in Kennebec County Superior Court to a charge of terrorizing and domestic-violence terrorizing Wednesday at a hearing watched by Judge Beth Dobson, a target of those threats last Aug. 22.
Breton was leaving the Augusta District Court building after being denied a protection-from-abuse order he sought against his ex-wife.
A Kennebec County sheriff's deputy who was working as a court security officer overheard Breton threaten to shoot both his ex-wife, Jessie Breton, and Dobson.
"Ultimately, he was blowing off steam, and that was a big mistake," Breton's attorney, Kevin Sullivan, said Thursday. "He was frustrated with the court because she wasn't allowing him to see his children."
Breton, who was not armed, then left the Augusta District Court building on State Street but returned shortly afterward and was arrested by Sgt. Joel Eldridge, court security supervisor with the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office.
An affidavit by Eldridge, filed in Kennebec County Superior Court, said Dobson had had problems with Breton previously. "He escalates his behavior and gets irritated easily," Eldridge wrote.
Breton initially was held in the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $10,000 bail, and was later freed. He is to report to jail next week to begin serving his sentence, and District Attorney Maeghan Maloney said he will serve the full 90 days.
Wednesday's plea came after jurors had been selected for Breton's trial.
Sullivan said he and the prosecutor's office had discussed the plea and sentencing recommendation but waited to hear from Breton's ex-wife.
"We wanted to make sure we heard from the victim before going forward with any plea deal," Maloney said. "This was acceptable to her."
Under the 12-month deferred sentencing arrangement, Breton will be able to withdraw his plea to domestic-violence terrorizing and be sentenced on the other terrorizing charge to 364 days in jail, with all but 90 suspended and credit for the time served, and be placed on administrative release for a year.
Maloney said if Breton is successful, he will have only one criminal terrorizing conviction.
"He doesn't have priors. He's 37, and the victim didn't want to testify," she said, "and as a condition of administrative release, he can have no contact with the victim."
Maloney noted that Breton's ex-wife has an active protection order against him.
The sentence means "there's somebody looking over his shoulder for two years, making sure he doesn't violate the protection order," Maloney said. "This adds an additional layer of oversight."
If he is unsuccessful, Breton could be ordered to serve the full 364-day term, Sullivan said.
