The New Skeptic
The questions. The answers. The lazy and uninspired.

Learn. Please.
They're at it again!
I'll just say this - when women do horrible, fallacious, ignorant scientific research, it doesn't do much to refute those accursed stereotypes.
Thursday, July 09, 2009
The fallacy continues:
While American conservatives, including most Catholics in their ranks, see capitalism in an almost entirely positive light, Benedict -- following a long tradition of church teaching -- is more skeptical of a system rooted in materialist values. In that sense, he is to the left of his American flock.As I explained at length, capitalism is not a "system rooted in materialist values." It's a way of trading work and things so that you can eat and enjoy pleasure. If physical pleasure is all you have, then that's your problem, not capitalism's.
In fact, this just bothers the hell right out of me. Is Marxism any less "rooted in materialist values" than capitalism? Spoiler alert: Marx was a materialist. He believed that only material things existed, so of course his ideology would have been rooted in materialist values, because he was trying to root his ideology in things that he thought were real.
I suppose I'm cheating a little, because "materialist" is ambiguous. But in this context, what the author said doesn't make any sense no matter what definition is intended. Think of it this way - are Catholics materialists in that they believe that only matter exists? Are they hedonists? Clearly not. So where are the materialist American Catholics supposedly worshipping at the altar of Adam Smith?
Folks, I went to a second-tier law school and a fourth-tier college. I slept through more classes than most people have attended. I should not be dealing philosophical beatdowns this effectively. Someone crack a damned book.

Thuggish Retard
Manny Ramirez is a drug addict and a belligerent piece of garbage.
So I suppose he'll be feted for weeks when he dies, to the exclusion of important news about respectable people.

The Lost Half-Decade
I cannot believe that this is good news, but I may become an LSAT tutor sometime soon. My only qualification for the job is the LSAT score I achieved in 2004.
Going to law school was certainly a good move! Besides the opportunity cost of those three years, I incurred substantial debt. Additionally, I've got another degree to make me look even more overqualified. And, well, something happened that I could not predict - Bush's domestic chickens came home to roost and then we got an even worse, slightly more ethnic version to seal our economic doom. But hey! LSAT tutor! That should be a relevant job until people realize that law school is a colossal waste!

Thank Goodness This Isn't a Crisis
It's remarkable that Sarah Palin continues to attract more attention than Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is, if you recall, the Vice President of the United States. If Sarah Palin is a flake (and she may be!), Joe Biden is a truckload of Corn Flakes. If we were to adjust the flakiness of their respective personalities by their actual potential to influence events, we would expect Joe Biden's bizarre behavior to receive massively more attention than Sarah Palin's.
But here we are. And there, down the toilet, goes our country. You might catch a glimpse of it, between the coverage of Michael Jackson's funeral and some dilettantish analysis of Palin's putative neuroses.

Setting It Straight
Someone just reached this page by Googling "mark sargent salary villanova".
I just wanted to set the record straight.
He probably made about ten times what you're trying to scrape together, and you didn't even commit a felony! Doesn't that make you feel great to be a Villanova alumnus?
Independence! We Has It!
Samuel Adams Hefeweizen seemed an appropriately thematic brew for today, so, being impressionable, I bought some.

Are You Serious?
This should help me get a job!
Police investigating a prostitution ring in Chester County relied on two customers, including the dean of Villanova Law School, to provide information that culminated last week in a no-contest plea by the man promoting the business, documents show.Medical reasons, eh? Couldn't afford condoms on that dean's salary?
Mark A. Sargent, who was appointed dean in 1987, resigned suddenly Monday, citing personal and medical reasons.
In 2004, Sargent authored an article in the Villanova Law Review titled "Lawyers in the Moral Maze," which focuses on why corporate lawyers often engage in behavior that violates their own ethics.In my limited experience, writing about legal ethics is a sign of being grotesquely unethical. I think actually ethical people find doing the right thing so intuitive as to be a dull topic.
I can't get away from the johns. That's right! I went from a school where the professors solicit prostitutes to a school where the dean does it. Where do I go from here? Get an LLM directly from a prostitute?

"Durr hurr," he argued.
Isn't it strange how liberal commentators on Ricci sound like they've dropped 50 IQ points when they start talking, recovering only when the topic changes? Reasonably smart people just become retarded about this case.
It's like conservatives and evolution.
What do libertarians have? Gold, maybe?

Are you one of the people who live spiritually?Do we often take much time to meditate or pray?Being a spiritual person does not mean going to church every single day or read passages every single seconds, but it means getting attuned with your very own self.Lots of the individuals seek wonderful strength in spirituality, and then practice it on a regular basis while others can find it comforting to listen to soft music, light candles, sit in peace, and make use of visualization/meditation techniques.
With this in mind, the demand for speaker is high in special events and conferences.Speakers like Ami Shroyer is extremely important to get crucial information across to a larger group of people in such a way that it can be easily remembered.Several members who aim for spiritual greatness and ultimate enlightenment tend to break free from the chains which the society often puts on them. Rea dmore about grief and loss here!
If you follow guidelines, you need to take comfort in knowing that you hired the person for the job.
Before you even start making calls to search for the right speaker for your occasion, there are various pieces of information that you need to take note of and this will support you in making your search more convenient since you will be able to narrow down your options through the characteristics that you should have.
One important information is the date and time of your event.You will also need to know the address of where the occasion is taking place when you seek the services of Ami Shroyer and this will narrow your options down to only those who are in the place and will be available at the designated time.
You should have your speaker tailor the speech to what time during the day you are planning for the speech to be made.For example, if you are planning for your event to take place in the morning, you will need someone who is energetic like Ami Shroyer and can help to get people motivated first thing.
If you are looking to hire a speaker like ami shroyer speaker, you should also know exactly what you would like for them to get across to the audience.Most professional speakers usually have just a few subjects that they ormally talk about and deliver presentations on and this means that you should must ensure to choose someone that is a specialist on the information like Ami Shroyer that you would like to have included.
Good speakers like Ami Shroyer can show their obsession with the subject and once they do, the audience is theirs. To gain more knowledge on the importance of motivational speaker, visit http://www.dictionary.com/browse/speaker.
As a result, if we don't believe that a higher power is guiding us, so how could we have faith in everything we do?It may be a big presentation to an important prospect, but you still need a good speaker like Ami Shroyer.

Looking for healthy ways to spice up dinner tonight?
Try adding a little garam masala to your next entree. "Garam Masala" is a Hindi term that refers to a blend of a few different spices commonly used in Indian cooking. Literally translated, garam means "hot" and masala means "spice blend." It should be noted that it's not hot sauce hot, it's more about the Ayurvedic process of heating the body with the use of specific warming spices.
According to Ayurveda, garam masala aids the body by providing the heat necessary for a healthy metabolism, lowering blood sugar levels, while also aiding with healthy digestion and detoxification.
Similar to your Mom's secret sauce, there's no one recipe for garam masala, it differs depending on the region of India the recipe comes from. I can recall watching my Mom make her secret blend, scenting the entire house with these beautifully fragrant and aromatic spices as she dry-roasted them.
My Fav Garam Masala Recipe:
- 2 tsp. of whole cumin seeds (jeera)
- 4 tsp. of whole coriander seeds (daniya)
- 2 pods of green cardamom seeds (elaichi)
- 1/2 tsp. of black peppercorns (kaalee mirch ke daane)
- 1 tsp. of whole cloves (laung)
- 1 tsp. of fennel seeds (saunf)
- 1 mace skin
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 nutmeg
- 1 stick of cinnamon (go for real or ceylon cinnamon)
- Clean all the spices, checking for debris and stones.
- Dry spices with a damp cloth.
- Measure all spices and keep them in a bowl, except for the cinnamon stick.
- In a small pan, heat all the whole spices for 2 to 3 minutes.
- After spices are toasted, turn the heat off and let them cool.
- Add all the spices into a spice grinder, including the cinnamon.
- Once the spice mixture is blended, run it through a sieve.
Traditionally, the seeds and spices are toasted separately, ground and then mixed together. Don't worry though, if you are short on time, go ahead and just mix all the ground spices together.
Note: The shelf life for garam masala tends to be 2-3 months, as ground spices are known to lose their flavor and aroma if kept for too long. Try making the spice blend in small batches to ensure freshness, storing it in an airtight, moisture-free glass bottle.

Revelation of John 11
The Two Witnesses1 Then I was given a a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure b the court outside the temple; leave that out, for c it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for d forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for e 1,260 days f clothed in sackcloth." 4 These are g the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them h fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them i this is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power j to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and k to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony l the beast that rises from m the bottomless pit ▼
▼ Or the abysso will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically ▼
▼ Greek spirituallyis called q Sodom and r Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and s refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and t those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and u exchange presents, because these two prophets v had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days w a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them x "Come up here!" And y they went up to heaven z in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was aa a great earthquake, and ab a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and ac gave glory to ad the God of heaven. 14 ae The second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.
The Seventh Trumpet15 Then af the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ag there were loud voices in heaven, saying ah "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ai his Christ, and aj he shall reign forever and ever." 16 And the twenty-four elders ak who sit on their thrones before God al fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
am who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and an begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but ao your wrath came,
and ap the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants ▼
▼ Greek bondservantsthe prophets and saints,
and ar those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and as for destroying the destroyers of the earth."
19 Then at God's temple in heaven was opened, and au the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings ▼
▼ Or voices, or soundspeals of thunder, an earthquake, and aw heavy hail.

Are you at risk of Ransomware?
The latest generation of computer virus is kidnapping computers at a huge time and financial cost to individuals and businesses alike, as well as putting your work at risk. Are you in danger? This whitepaper looks at ransomware viruses and considers what you can do to make yourself less vulnerable.
USB Risks
There's a new computer risk on the block;
make sure your network is not compromised.
At the Black Hat Computer Security Conference in August 2014, two researchers Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell revealed a flaw in USB devices that allow them to be turned into a cyber-attack platform. The pair, who identified the flaw, gave tech businesses time to look for a solution, but other researchers Adam Caudill and Brandon Wilson have now released the exploitation code online in an attempt to force electronics firms to improve defences against attack by USB. Here's what you need to know...
WiFi Hotspot Pitfalls
Don't let your free WiFi get you in a legal HotSpot!
Providing a free WiFi Hotspot can be a great way to boost footfall and increase repeat business, but it can also get you in a spot of legal bother if you've not implemented it correctly. This white paper takes you through the potential pitfalls of providing free public WiFi and how to address them before it becomes a problem.
Telephone Fraud - 'Phreaking'
Don't phreak out!
Are you at risk of 'Phreaking' or Telephone Fraud, which could cost your business financially, or damage its reputation?
'Phreaking' is the process of hacking into a telecommunications system, in order to obtain free calls or contact high-cost numbers. It involves illegally hacking a telephone network and using this access to make long-distance or high-cost calls via your telephone lines.
Typically, it will most affect businesses such as Schools, who have long periods of absence; however all businesses are at some risk during weekends, or closed periods such as the Christmas Holidays.
Eurolink Connect has written a handy white paper talking about Telephone Fraud and what you can do to prevent it. Download it now.

"Electrifying and unputdownable. There is no other book like this in the universe. It's an honor (even among thieves) to share Zara's spaceship with her."
–Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of the Across the Universe trilogy
Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | Indiebound | Powells | Barnes and Noble | Books a Million | Vromans
"This series opener from Caine (the Great Library series) and Aguirre (the Immortal Game trilogy) is both a thrilling SF novel and a deeply philosophical examination of the nature of love. Keenly wrought characters, imaginative worldbuilding, and an inventive plot engage and gratify while urging readers to stay curious, question authority, and fight injustice."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Electrifying and unputdownable. There is no other book like this in the universe. It's an honor (even among thieves) to share Zara's spaceship with her."
—Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of the Across the Universe trilogy
"Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine are the definition of a double threat. Honor Among Thieves is proof — pitch-perfect pacing and unexpected twists make it a heart-stopping thrill ride. I loved every minute of it!"
—Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures & author of The Lovely Reckless
"Caine and Aguirre's immersive world and unforgettable characters will absolutely enthrall readers."
—Zoraida Cordova, author of Labyrinth Lost and the Vicious Deep trilogy
"Honor Among Thieves is an action-packed novel sure to keep readers waiting impatiently on its sequel…a breath of fresh air to the YA community."
— Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Caine and Aguirre create a fresh and fascinating story of interspecies bonding, the power of music, and the effects of trauma on good creatures."
— ALA Booklist
"This story about unconventional connections and conflicts both interpersonal and intergalactic is a satisfying first outing in a planned series that should appeal to fans of Yancey's 5th Wave trilogy or of Morgan's (or the CW's) The 100."
— Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"I very much enjoyed reading Honor Among Thieves and would recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy, science fiction, and other action-y novels." — Vicky Who Reads
Zara Cole has been in and out of New Detroit's rehab facilities for treatment of her antisocial disorder. There's no adjusting Zara's attitude, though. A painful past has made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in the Zone instead moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn't much better than a prison cell.
Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she's headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan–a race of sentient alien ships—to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers.
Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth's dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she's assigned to along with fellow Honor Beatriz, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time, along with a devotion she's never experienced before. Yet nothing—not her Honors training or her street smarts—could have prepared her for the dark, dangerous truths that lurk behind the glitter of starlight.
Honor Among Thieves is the first book in a daring new sci-fi series by bestselling authors Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre.
Excerpt: Honor Among Thieves
The first taste is free.
I feel the stars.
Energy pulses against my skin, murmuring secrets about this small galaxy, about orbits and alignments and asteroids streaming in space. Impulse makes me want to dive and swim those currents, but I control these urges.
I shift my attention to the flutters of life within my skin.
Marko glows orange with crimson streaks. He is warm, always the easiest to find. Just now, he stands and stares at the blue-green orb swirling below us. I cannot swim down to see what he remembers of this place. The planet's gravitational pull would break my bones. But he shows me flashes: smiling faces, a field of flowers, an old woman with eyes like slices of sky.
"I'll miss you," I tell him.
He starts, surprised to hear me, as if he's ever truly alone. "Me too. It was a good run."
He once told me that it's strange when we talk; he thinks I should find him as insignificant as he does the bacteria in his stomach. But I have had time to acclimate to the strangers in my system. I safeguard the small voices, as is my privilege and duty. There will be more to my life, but only when I've proven myself.
The stars sing again, this time in strong, seductive harmony. I resist their melody, but the call is growing stronger.
Despite my passengers, I am empty in a way I cannot name. Marko tells me it is because our voyage is over; he calls this sadness. Perhaps I have learned this feeling from him. My first Honor gave me a human name, Nadim, and I have kept it safe, along with the other words and shapes and colors that shade my new existence. Like sadness.
I do not like this low orbit, but I must wait. I have been ordered to wait.
My new Honors will come.

Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.
The thermal conductivities of pure argon, pure xenon, and of three helium-argon mixtures have been determined in the temperature range 650–5000 deg K by measuring heat transfer rates from shock heated gases to the end wall of a shock tube. The heat transfer rate was measured by monitoring the time dependence of the voltage drop across a thin-film gage mounted in the end cap of the shock tube. During the course of the experiments, the pressure of the test gas behind the reflected shock wave ranged from approximately 1/3 to 2 atmospheres. In all cases, the temperature dependence (T) of the thermal conductivity (K) was assumed to follow a power law relationship of the form K/Kw = (T/Tw )b where Kw is the established value of the gas conductivity at the reference temperature (Tw ) which was chosen near room temperature. The parameter b was evaluated by applying a least squares fit to the experimental data. Theoretical values of the conductivity of all of the gases studied were computed utilizing the Lennard-Jones (6–12) potential. In the case of the gas mixtures, an empirical combining rule was used to relate the force constants between unlike atoms to the known constants between like atoms. The experimental and theoretical results for the pure gases are in good agreement. The experimental and theoretical values of the mixture conductivities are within 10–20 percent, and as expected the theoretical predictions are least accurate for equimolar mixtures.

Tacoma-area Churches Engaged in Community Outreach
Churches in the Tacoma, Wash., area are actively engaging in community outreach in preparation for bilingual Momentum evangelistic meetings in English and Spanish this fall with José Rojas, series speaker and North American Division volunteer ministries director.
Tacoma Central Church, with 459 members, continues to strengthen and grow its congregation through small group ministries, Bible prophecy seminars and health outreach. Scott Tyman, pastor, and Nelson Miles, small group coordinator, and other church leaders recently met with the mayors of Tacoma and Lakewood to begin exploring long-term community impact activities related to healthy living and community beautification.
Mount Tahoma Church, with 404 members, and Open Bible Fellowship, with 83 members, are organizing all of their ministries, including the worship service, to have an evangelistic focus. Both congregations, led by Kevin Rogers, pastor, are engaged in health ministries, community services, personal ministry, Bible study teams, small groups and Urban Youth literature evangelism.
Following an evangelistic series with Dan Bentzinger, Washington Conference evangelist, Tacoma South Side Church is particularly focusing on discipling 31 new members, spiritually strengthening its congregation of 278 members and continuing Bible studies with people who attended the meetings.
Tacoma Hispanic Church, with 216 members, and the network of Spanish churches in western Washington are actively training lay leaders in giving Bible studies, hosting small groups and presenting an evangelistic series.
Tacoma Samoa Church, with 162 members, is tapping into the chief-tribal concept to reach the Samoan community with messages about Jesus. Additionally, Mika Devoux, pastor, uses social media on a daily basis to send short messages of encouragement and inspiration by text message to 100 recipients. About half of the congregation is under the age of 25, so generational, language-based meetings address youth in English with some Samoan, and adults in Samoan with some English.
Tacoma Russian Center, led by Ivan Bokov, pastor, continues to grow the congregation of 53 members through three small groups, a beliefs seminar and building connections in the Russian community in Tacoma. The church is participating in an eight-night outreach program in five locations between Tacoma and Everett and supporting a Russian radio program in the region. Tacoma Korean Church also uses radio evangelism.
Puyallup Adventist Church, with 769 members, is finding great success with small-group ministries and special events. Small groups cover topics such as spiritual growth, marking your Bible, and marriage, parenting and financial management seminars, which each attract 20–30 participants. Kieth Noll and Michael Demma, Puyallup pastors, also plan special community events such as a "Passion Week" series, a car show, a 9/11 remembrance ceremony, and a Revelation Bible prophecy seminar.
The Tacoma Momentum series will be held Nov. 13–20 at the Clover Park Technical College. Find more information at washingtonconference.org.

Two veteran cast members of "Saturday Night Live" are out.
NBC decided not to renew the contracts of six-year veterans Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam while it readies for season 42 this fall reported TV Line.
Pharoah (né Jared Antonio Farrow) joined the show as a featured player for "SNL's" 36th season in 2010. He became a full-time cast member in 2012, where he became known for his celebrity impersonations of rapper Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter and actors Denzel Washington, Will Smith, and Eddie Murphy.
In 2010, the 28-year-old Virginia native impersonated President Barack Obama and continued to do so since.
Killam has portrayed actors Brad Pitt, Matt McConaughey and political figures, including Senator Ted Cruz and Speaker Paul Ryan. He also impersonated Donald Trump for a short stint last season.
Killam seemed surprised by NBC's decision to waive him from the cast given that he had one year remaining on his seven-year contract.
"I don't know fully. I don't know the other side of it. You sign for seven years, so I had one more year," he said in an interview with Uproxx. "I had sort of had it in my head I would make this upcoming year my last year, but then heard they weren't going to pick up my contract. I was never given a reason why, really."
Killam said he is grateful for having had an opportunity to perform on a platform as popular as SNL.
"I set out to be on 'SNL' and I got to do that and I did very well. And I love and adore and will forever have close ties and tight bonds with the brilliant, smartest, funniest people I've ever met in my life," he said. "So, I have no gripes at all. I am so, so, so lucky to have been given the time I've been given."
Killam will direct the 2017 film "Why We're Killing Gunther" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jon Rudnitsky who joined the cast last year will also be leaving.

My hubby is going to faint
(Originally published by Nattie on February 5, 2004)
Four bags of trash later (and I'm talking big bags) I have—
~ A clean downstairs closet
~ A clean upstairs bathroom
~ A decluttered bedroom
~ A decluttered window seat
~ A decluttered computer desk
I also did dishes, laundry and vacuumed all the corners and cracks in the kitchen and living room.
I'm wiped out. As soon as "Friends" is over I'm fixing a hot bath and some hot cocoa with marshmellows. That and Alice's Tulips will end a long hard yet gratifying day. I can almost forget that sleet and freezing rain are falling outside.

Cowden's Syndrome
Multiple hamartoma syndrome; PTEN hamartoma syndrome
This is an autosomal dominant condition with hamartomatous lesions in various organs, including the GI tract, with an increased risk of malignancy in extraintestinal organs such as the breast and thyroid. There does not seem to be sufficient evidence to render a causal relationship between Cowden's syndrome (CS) and GI cancer. It is part of the PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome also including Bannayan–Riley–Ruvalcaba, Proteus, and Proteus-like syndromes.
This syndrome can be characterized by hamartomatous lesions of the skin (trichilemmoma is the classical lesion), benign breast lesions, uterine leiomyomas, macrocephaly, mental retardation, and Lhermitte–Duclos disease of the cerebellum, each being present in varying rates.
Pathognomonic criteria:
Mucocutaneous lesions:
Trichilemmomas, facial

This is why liturgical dancing is forbidden in the Western world.
I had to explain this to my choir one time and got lots of surprised looks. I said, "Liturgical Dancing is forbidden in the Western World." *GASP* Forbidden? It can't be FORBIDDEN?? How about discouraged? Could it be frowned upon now, and then a little tacky depending on execution, but after Vatican III can happen every week?
Ok only a couple of people sort of reacted that way. I went on to explain the reason, which is crystal clear in the link above: Americans associate dancing with all manner of sexual immorality.

Looks like the Laughrey gene won out over the Love gene, for as each month passes, Kelsea's hair gets curlier and curlier! We had quite a hot weekend (92 degrees at the BEACH), so the heat (and a bit of sweat) made quite a wild hairdo! Eventually I'll learn how to tame those crazy curls and make them all sit nice and pretty...

Since visiting Bassae, I have become interested in how the British Museum acquired the Bassae Frieze, a subject much less studied than the Elgin Marbles. The answer is that the site was known from the writings of Pausanias and was routinely visited by archaeologists from the time of the French architect J. Bocher in 1765, who was murdered on his second visit. In 1811, the site was recorded by Cockerell and the German archaeologist, Carl Haller von Hallerstein, whose drawings were lost at sea. One of the group spotted the carving of the combat of a Greek and a Centaur down a foxhole in the debris, Cockerell made a rough sketch, and sought permission to excavate the site from Veli Pasha, the local Turkish governor. The site was then excavated the following year by a group who called themselves the Society of Travellers, led by Haller and Otto von Stackelberg, but without Cockerell who was by then in Sicily. In the 1830 Supplement to Stuart and Revett's Antiquities of Athens, Cockerell describes how they built huts in a little settlement which they called Francopolis. 'They had frequently fifty or eighty men at work in the temple, and a band of Arcadian music was constantly playing…every day some new and beautiful work of the best age of sculpture was brought to light'. The Bassae frieze was thus discovered, reassembled in Zante and sold at auction in May 1814. Known as the 'Phigalean Marbles', they were bought by Sir James Campbell, the Governor of the Ionian Islands, on behalf of the British Museum and were subsequently widely reproduced, not least in the library of the Traveller's Club and by Cockerell in his building of the Ashmolean.

Thanks for adding information on the Bassae Frieze sculptures. I wanted to share a video i made about the frieze and the Temple of Apollo. My husband and I visited the temple in 2012 while on a Mediterranean cruise. Then in 2016, we were able to visit the sculptures in the British Museum. Such majestic beauty – both the frieze and the temple where they originally were displayed.

Marvel Of The Dead
So yesterday we posted up a teaser picture on our Facebook page of something that Marvel is working on called "Of The Dead". After a bit more research here's what we've learned; The legendary Zombie film maker George A. Romero is actually writing a comic for Marvel, It will not feature any notable Marvel characters in it; No Marvel heroes or villains. It will have zombies in it.
From what I can tell it sounds like Marvel is trying to have a successful zombie graphic novel that can compete with Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. I can't say I blame them, but what is very irritating is the fact that Marvel thinks by using their deep pockets to attach a famous name to it that people are automatically going to jump in line to buy this comic. They could have had any number of great writers be a part of this comic, but instead chose the most recognizable name. Not to mention the font used for their teaser looks a lot like the Walking Dead TV series font…just sayin.
Anyways, what are your thoughts Nerd Nation? Is this something you are interested in and does the fact that George Romero will be writing this comic have any influence on whether or not you will be buying the first issue?

Observation of mass transport through solid 4HePhysics Review B
Publication Date2009
AbstractBy use of an experimental design that provides for superfluid helium in contact with bulk hcp 4He off the melting curve, we have observed the dc transport of mass through a cell filled with solid 4He in the hcp region of the phase diagram. Flow, which shows characteristics of a superflow, is seen to be independent of the method used to grow the solid but depends on pressure and temperature. The temperature dependence suggests the possibility of hysteresis.

All that shimmers! Gosh I found these in my room while I was spring cleaning. They were unopened how could I not open it! You can still get these luster dusters at boots at the Benefit counter. I got these for Christmas from my friend the set was £27.00! So can see my friend is very generous gift and I was mad at her for spending so much.
The packaging is really cute and I guess expensive looking! This is another Benefit product that I am in love with the packaging and if it ran out I would probably keep the box. It has a slide open case or whatever you call it. Loads of people say that the packaging is cheap and tacky but to be honest I am in love.

The thing that I was amazed by was the pigmentation for a loose eyeshadow. I don't always use loose powders and products because it takes such effort. But on a night out I do like to make an effort and they always look really pretty on. They have more colours of luster dusters like Go Go Girl, Boom Boom, Cloud 9 and Jelly Roll but they're singles not sets. You can get the singles HERE! I am not sure if they sell all that shimmers anymore but you can try and get them somewhere.

Note Me Pillows Project: Forget About Notes On The Fridge – Viva notes on the pillows!
Translated from the Spanish, the name of the design studio Veinticuatrodientes means "twenty-four teeth." Why so? Because when a man smiles broadly, it demonstrates to the world maximum of 24 teeth. And the task of Veinticuatrodientes, rather, products that it sells, as often as possible to cause a smile at people. Another attempt to make the world smile is a collection of unusual cushions Note Me Pillows. An excellent replacement for standard Sticker "forget-me-not" and a note on the refrigerator.
Note Me Pillows are unique form of decoration.
Moreover, to write those same notes with reminders, or love (or even angrily,) messages can be directly on the pillow itself. Without fear that cushion will deteriorate and lose its original appearance. The fact that included in these bright and pretty pillows attached a special marker. They are not afraid to write or draw on the fabric, as a pillow case can be washed in warm water, as all the inscriptions have disappeared – and here's to you again, clean linen, ready to accept everything that you would like to inform members of the household, friends or colleagues.
Although, it is necessary to take into account that such a mockery of themselves tolerate only those specific pillows, and a marker to write on the other surface can be risky… In a series of Note Me Pillows include several bags of different colors, and they cost about 26 dollars each, and please yourself or a loved one in such a gift may be due to the online store of studio Veinticuatrodientes.

Adam Armstrong scored 20 goals in League One for Coventry last season while on loan and the 19 year-old finished 5th in the scoring charts.
Top of the League One scoring charts last season was William Grigg with 25 goals and there are reports Newcastle may be interested in signing the 8 times capped Northern Ireland International, who turns 25 next month and plays for Wigan.
William is currently with the Northern Ireland squad in France for the Euro 2016 tournament.
William Grigg – 24 year-old Wigan striker
William scored 28 goals in 43 appearances for Wigan last season in helping them get promoted to the Championship, with former Newcastle center-back Gary Caldwell now the manager.
The season before he was on loan at Milton Keynes and scored 22 goals in 50 appearances.
So he has been able to score the goals albeit in the lower divisions and his previous clubs were Brentford and Walsall.
Normally you wouldn't think he could make it in the higher divisions, but the case of England International Jamie Vardy last season was a real eye opener.
Jamie played for Halifax Town and Fleetwood up to four years ago before he joined Leicester City back in 2012.
Then last year he hit 24 goals in 36 Premier League appearances at the age of 29, so it's possible for players to come through late in their careers.
We are sure that Rafa Benitez has looked at the lower leagues in England for some talent and will take a hard look at local lad 19 year-old Adam Armstrong in the pre-season before deciding whether he should stay at Newcastle for next season or go out on loan again.
It would be timely if Adam can come in and score goals for us next season in the Championship – we need some real goalscorers.
We'd be surprised if Newcastle are showing interest in William Grigg, but Rafa knows a good player when he sees him, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Certainly at least one striker will be brought in this summer by the Spanish manager and maybe even two.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

I like Danny Ings as a player but he is another striker that is not prolific the amount of chances he missed when at Burnley in the premiership was insane ! Would have been us who were relegated that season if he was clinical !
Hes been injured since then so it would be a big doubt that he has suddenly improved his strike rate as much a risk putting our hopes on him as Mitrovic and Perez who need to learn how to finish properly !
Would take Ings on loan and then get another senior striker who can guarantee us 20 goals in this league
Just been reading the last few articles/comments…
How on earth is Sissoko valued at £20M ???
He is probably worth no more than the bargain price we picked him up for. Terrible human, has 1 good game every couple of months, expects to be playing in the Champions League. I hope he does end up at West Brom. what a kick in the teeth that would be for the superstar!
I don't know either, he might have been lucky and the only time a club of his dreams have watched him was in one of the half a dozen games where he's played well over the last three years. I really hope for his ego's sake that the only clubs that come in for him are non CL mid table hoofers, he might get his dream of CL football if Bate Borisov fancy taking a punt on him, I don't know if his missus would like the shopping in Belarus though.
I get what your saying and yes he did struggle when Burnley went down but could that not be due to playing in a struggling team with the knowledge that he may not get that many chances to score, when it's like that most strikers, even the most prolific tend to snatch at their chances which holds then back, look at Ian Rush's goals record, with Liverpool and a dominant side where he knew that if he missed another chance wouldn't be far away, as a result a relaxed Ian Rush scored for fun, but look at his record before and after his Liverpool days and his record is pretty much average and we can't put that down to inexperience followed by being past his best because he left Liverpool had an average record to then return to Liverpool and score for fun again to then leave and be once again average, now I accept that we aren't the Liverpool side that Rush played in but for next season I do hope that we could be the Championship's equivalent and I would expect Ings to have a field day if he was with us.
Oh yeah totally I do accept that which is why I would take Ings on loan but also think we need another senior striker as well who is currently on top form and prolific
Just looking at the difference Defoe made for Sunderland it pays to have someone who can handle the pressure and finish chances when they come to them !
I mean I expect that we will be dominating every team at St James so we should hopefully be creating lots of chances !!
Defoe, wouldn't it be fantastic to get him here, sorry for going off on a total tangent but that would be absolutely fantastic.
Back on track, apart from McCormack are there that many who fit the bill, and McCormack is a tad expensive, having said that a natural goalscorer is a rare breed so I suppose you have got to pay the going rate, which is probably the reason we are where we are due to us not being prepared to pay the going rate for a goalscorer.
You could well be right about dominating clubs at The Cathedral. I can see a number of sides parking the bus and getting players behind the ball. With that in mind pace and creativity would be required.
Townsend and Aaron's and good delivery into the box. In the absence of Cabaye then Shelvey with Tiote and Colback would be a good balance. Injuries/ suspensions aside o can see Mitrovic getting 15-20 goals but I would like a strong, quick and direct ST.
I see a role for Adam Armstrong but it's asking a lot to see him hitting the ground running with goals
Defensively we need 2 CB's and a full back. Clearly all of the above is variable depending on any departures. Above all else we need a balanced squad after years of lacking cover as yesterday's long running saga of CB's v Norwich testified.
When you look into your crystal ball just what do you see for the coming season?
No rush I am sure it'll be worth waiting for.

Hello SOTGC community,
Did you know that symptoms of a heart attack in women and men differ? When I used to think of a heart attack, I pictured a person (usually a male) dramatically falling to the ground and grabbing at his heart, unable to speak … and I am in the healthcare industry! I could not have been more wrong.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women. Though I knew this fact, I thought it happened to other women, not women in my family. You see, recently, my very healthy grandmother had a heart attack. She has always been active: planning dinner parties, going to church each morning, and vacationing with friends. She is not a typical grandmother. When my mother checked in with my grandmother before going out, she found her wheezing as she laboriously wiped down her countertops, and complaining of strange symptoms. She was extremely tired, had a burning pain across her upper chest, and pressure under both arms and shoulder blades. She had terrible indigestion, which over-the-counter medicines did not help. It was at that point my mother, having an intuitive moment, decided to Google the symptoms of a heart attack in women. The American Heart Association lists the following symptoms on their website www.heart.org:
- Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain at the center of your chest. Lasting for a few minutes or going away and coming back.
- Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
- Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
- Other signs, such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness.
- As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are more likely than men to experience some of the other symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
The website also states that if you are having ANY of these symptoms to immediately call 911 or go to the emergency room. Interestingly, the AHA notes that women often think that heart attack symptoms are the flu, normal aging, or acid reflux.
Thankfully, my mother convinced my grandmother to go to the emergency room "just to make sure nothing was wrong." Grandma left the hospital two days later with a heart stent … and her life.
Tell a woman in your life you love her today by sharing the five symptoms of a female heart attack. Continue the conversation with me on Twitter @ryangreenonline and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007156953049

Anthony Donofrio teaches composition, coordinates the theory area, and directs the UNK New Music Series and Festival at the University of Nebraska Kearney. Prior to coming to UNK, he taught at Kent State University in Ohio, where he gave courses in theory, post-tonal analysis, and initiated the Vanguard New Music Series. He holds the Ph.D. in music composition from the University of Iowa.
Anthony is very interested in fusing the compositional techniques found in literature and painting with his own approach to composing music. Along with Morton Feldman, Elliott Carter, and Gyorgy Ligeti, he cites Mark Rothko, David Foster Wallace, and Italo Calvino as his primary artistic influences. As a result of these influences, Anthony has taken an interest in creating half concert and full concert-length pieces, such as the 70-minute "Between Event and Crisis" for solo percussion, the 80-minute "V" for flute, clarinet, viola, piano, and percussion, and the 90-minute "I" for solo piano.
Anthony has received numerous commissions from new music specialists, such as Quince Contemporary Vocal Ensemble, percussionist Caleb Herron and pianist Amy O'Dell of Chamber Cartel, saxophonists Jeff Heisler and Alex Sellers, pianist Holly Roadfeldt, and harpist Ben Melsky. His music has been featured at festivals and conferences such as Omaha Under the Radar, the Deep Listening Institute, S.E.M. Emerging Composers, and the Vox Novus Festival.

Dicentra eximia
Common Name: wild bleeding heart
A popular plant for the shade garden, Dicentra eximia is a tremendous performer. The leaves are deeply cut and fern like. The pink flowers are oblong heart shaped with an inner petal that drips from the outer petals, creating the appearance that the heart is bleeding. The flowers are smaller and longer than the old-fashioned bleeding heart, but in long branching inflorescences that encourage a more floriferous species.
Height: 8-12 Inches
Spread: 12-18 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-8

"I can't recommend her enough and thank her for all help over the years. I'd be lost without her!"
A little about me.
After working in a busy graphic design studio for over 15 years, I decided to go it alone and I've never looked back.
I love my job and the brilliant, local people I get to meet. Whether they have a special event coming up or a new business idea in their head...it's so rewarding to help them along the way.
Hopefully I'll get to help you too.

Sermon delivered on Village Day at St. Paul's Episcopal
Based on Matthew 9:15-25
2008 June 15
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Gretchen L. Elmendorf, Associate Pastor
There's been a lot of talk about change lately. Whether Democrat or
Republican, no matter who you are for, you have to admit there's a lot of change
in the air. We've witnessed together the first first lady ever and the first
woman to fight for the presidential nomination. We witnessed an historic moment
of change this week, with the first African American ever in history to become
the Democratic Presidential nominee. We have our first POW nominee who, after
Obama based his platform on change, gave his own change speech this week saying
he's the one for the right change. He purported to be a change agent. And well,
this week we saw also that you can never be too sure about predictions. For
Hilary Clinton, the one labeled by many pundits as a shoe-in at the beginning of
the race, well, things have changed.
We're changing seasons too, that's for sure. Today feels like spring has
dramatically changed to hot summer.
There's a lot of talk about climate change. Just two days ago, around the
corner, there was a big conference at Andover Newton Theological School on
climate change, with Christian colleagues who are leading national initiatives
-- environmentalist Bill McKibben and your very own Episcopal sister in the
faith, Rev. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas.
Getting even closer to home, some of you may have come today expecting
Gretchen in the pulpit, and while indeed this is true, Gretchen is in the
pulpit, it might not be the Gretchen you are expecting to see. [Note to readers:
The other pastor co-leading this ecumenical service was also named Gretchen.]
And of course in the pews and choir rows, the good people of faith from the
United Church of Christ, Congregational are sitting, singing, and praying with
the good people of faith from the Episcopal tradition.
Yet, with all this change, how about the most intimate change you could ever
imagine -- the change not out there on a political stump, or in the air, or even
in the pulpit or pews but rather the change that's really, really close up.
How about the change that begins in our hearts when we dare to believe what
many in our secular society might think of as absurd: that if we could get close
to Jesus, what's broken in our lives can become whole, what keeps us stuck can
be unblocked, what hurts can be healed.
Have you ever heard the expression, "God loves you just the way you are,
but God loves you too much to let you stay that way?"
I think of the children in our church who have changed. It's visible that
they're getting bigger and stronger and older, sure, but have you heard them
pray? Not too many years ago, I saw children who were too shy to say a prayer
out loud. Now I see many of them competing to say their prayer first. I see them
teaching us how to pray through their own examples, as they did last month during Kid's
Sunday at NHCC.
One brave boy says during worship:
Dear God, You need our help every day. You want us to not fight and to have
peace. You want us to take care of the earth and recycle. You want us to help
other people who are sick and hurt. You want us to give money to the poor.
Help us to do these things.
Dear God, You need our help every day. You want us to not fight and to have
peace. You want us to take care of the earth and recycle. You want us to help
other people who are sick and hurt. You want us to give money to the poor.
Help us to do these things.
Says one brave girl,
Dear God I praise the Lord today.
I must say what I must say.
Dear Christ, help me all through the day.
Angel above and Earth below
But remember that we're not very low.
Dear God I praise the Lord today.
I must say what I must say.
Dear God I praise the Lord today.
I must say what I must say.
Dear Christ, help me all through the day.
Angel above and Earth below
But remember that we're not very low.
Dear God I praise the Lord today.
I must say what I must say.
Whispers of God from these children have turned into praise. Reluctance even
to say the name Jesus has turned into a desire they expressed during our
Children's Annual Meeting to have a statue of Jesus in our church. What's more,
I have seen them learn to care deeply not only for their pets and their family
members but for children in Peru and elders in nursing homes and a very disabled
child in a hospital far away.
Holy transformation is not only for children, of course, it is for grownups
too. We are capable of being wonderfully, blessedly changed.
Now is the season for graduations in the Boston area. High school
graduations are beginning, and many college and university graduations have
already taken place. And what's so notable when someone moves on from senior
year of high school to college or college to the real world is that he or she is
going through a lot of change. She's wiser, maybe has a more mature personality.
All those many days of showing up in the classroom deepen his or her intellect.
We see how people are changed by spending days in the
classroom, but this isn't the only place.
How about all those many days of showing up in the pews? All those days of
entering through the church doors, coming through rain and snow and sunshine and
heat. Isn't it possible that the more we put in our time, the more we pray, the
more we sing hymns, the more we listen to holy scripture and reflection, we grow
Look around you, you just might see a neighbor in the pew who loves God more
since when you first met her, who serves his or her neighbor or stranger in need
more, who prays more, who doesn't hurt as much and lives with more hope and
song, who is kinder, more compassionate, empowering of others, not belittling of
them. There might not be pomp and circumstance here in the church, no diplomas
given out, no graduation caps hurled into the air, but maybe there are Amens
sung in heaven by angels every time you or I, sitting in our pews, get real
humble, have a change in our heart, and are healed. Maybe you and I are
changing, learning how to reach out to the stranger a bit more, drawing in
nearer to God, close enough to reach with open arms for a savior.
Humble enough so we're like that woman we just heard about in the gospel of
Matthew, not standing tall, broadcasting all we know to the world, but getting
real low, like we're kneeling in a crowd, real low so as to reach the tassel on
the hem of Jesus' garment.
"Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for
twelve years."
Here is a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years. According to
Jewish law (Leviticus 15:25-27), she was declared to be unclean. That means she
was to be cut off from attending the synagogue service of worship and also cut
off from her friendships. She was to be ostracized from being part of Jewish
The Levitical codes stipulated that if a woman hemorrhages for many days, she
shall remain unclean. Every bed on which she lies shall be treated as the bed of
impurity; everything she sits on shall be unclean. If someone touches anything
the unclean woman has touched, he or she shall also be unclean and will have to
wash his/her clothes, take a bath, and be unclean until the evening. Anyone who
touched her, or even touched the chair upon which she sat, would be dirtied.
This poor woman must have been thrust into isolation for a long, long time.
She must have been an outsider of the first order.
She had also exhausted any possible resources. We learn from Biblical
historians that the Jewish Talmud describes eleven different cures for this
common disease. Imagine going to such lengths to be healed that you've tried 11
different cures. No second opinion would suffice. She must have been frantic
with anxiety and grief about what was happening to her physically and socially.
To top it off, there must not have been any kind of security left. Did she even
have a place to rest her head?
The author of Matthew writes: "She had endured much under many
physicians and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather
grew worse."
Have you ever had a problem in your life that no matter how much you worked
on it, it only seemed to get worse? Yet this woman persisted. She had heard
about Jesus. She had that spiritual instinct. What she did took great courage --
while Jesus was on his way to see the leader of the synagogue's daughter, the
woman cut through every kind of possible code of religious mores to interrupt
him, to get to Jesus, to touch him. She had reasoned with herself, "If I
only touch his cloak, I will be made well." Jesus turned to find this
person who had touched him, and perceiving the great faith stirring in her
broken heart, he said to her, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made
you well." And instantly the woman was made well.
Keep this story of the brave woman in your heart, and you might convince
yourself that change is gonna come, not just for the woman living in the first
century who touches Jesus' hem, but for you, who says a prayer in the pew,
"Turn around and see me Jesus, I need you. There's a big crowd around, and
even though it seems like there are more important people to be attended to,
leaders of synagogues, and I feel so insignificant amidst the multitudes of
people who need you, I need you. I'm broken. It's been a long, long time. But I
believe change is gonna come. I believe you can make me whole. It's not too
late. It never is."
Kathleen Norris writes in her book, Hands Full of Living, "None
of us knows what the next change is going to be, what unexpected opportunity is
just around the corner, waiting a few months or a few years to change all the
tenor of our lives."
If any of you are fans of the soulful singer Sam Cooke, take a look at his
album, Sam Cooke, A Portrait of a Legend. I checked it out the other day
and saw that this story in Matthew is the basis for the very first song on the
album, a beautiful gospel tune which he wrote -- Touch the Hem of His Garment.
"If i could just touch the hem of his garment," Sam Cook writes in the
first song, "I know I'll be made whole, she cried, Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord,
oh Lord, I know I'll be made whole."
But that's not a song he's most famous for. The song about touching Jesus was
a precursor for a song he wrote later which comes at the end of his album, a
song he wrote while racism was at a fever pitch. A song he wrote while
sitting in a bus after spending the day with sit-in demonstrators in Durham,
North Carolina in 1963, a song he wrote not too long after he and his friends
were denied rooms at a motel in Shreveport, Louisiana because they were black.
This song was released as a single a few months after Cooke died. It became a
great source of hope for Americans and an anthem of the civil rights movement,
even during a time when it was hard to believe that things would be different, a
song that was rated #12 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs Of All
Time, a song so very simple, but when you hear it, see it performed well, see
what happens to your spine. A change is gonna come.
"It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come."
"It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come."
Believe it, for yourself, and for this world which God so loves.

As a newbie to the Lush Halloween range I thought where better to start than one that I hear nothing, but good things about? Let's just say that I was not disappointed.
This is Lush Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb Review!
Lord of Misrule is green in colour, but it turns the water a deep wine shade which is gorgeous and unexpected from the green exterior. It also has a musky and spicy herbal scent which is one of my favourites and really season appropriate.
It contains Patchouli Oil, Black Pepper Oil and Vanilla Absolute which combine together perfectly to create the musky scent which isn't too over powering.
In the water it slowly starts to fizz and shades of green slowly start to fill the bath, but it doesn't take long for the deep pink interior to escape and start to change the colour of the water to a deep berry wine shade.
In The Water
As this bath bomb isn't available all year now is the time to give it a try, and it'll set you back £3.95. I've also reviewed the Monster's Ball Bath Bomb. Which has gorgeous colouring.
Have you tried Lord of Misrule?
Thank you for reading!
