The Kjeldahl method was developed in 1883 by a brewer called Johann Kjeldahl. A food is digested with a strong acid so that it releases nitrogen which can be determined by a suitable titration technique. The amount of protein present is then calculated from the nitrogen concentration of the food. The same basic approach is still used today, although a number of improvements have been made to speed up the process and to obtain more accurate measurements. It is usually considered to be the standard method of determining protein concentration. Because the Kjeldahl method does not measure the protein content directly a conversion factor (F) is needed to convert the measured nitrogen concentration to a protein concentration. A conversion factor of 6.25 (equivalent to 0.16 g nitrogen per gram of protein) is used for many applications, however, this is only an average value, and each protein has a different conversion factor depending on its amino-acid composition. The Kjeldahl method can conveniently be divided into three steps: digestion, neutralization and titration.
The food sample to be analyzed is weighed into a digestion flask and then digested by heating it in the presence of sulfuric acid (an oxidizing agent which digests the food), anhydrous sodium sulfate (to speed up the reaction by raising the boiling point) and a catalyst, such as copper, selenium, titanium, or mercury (to speed up the reaction). Digestion converts any nitrogen in the food (other than that which is in the form of nitrates or nitrites) into ammonia, and other organic matter to C02 and H20. Ammonia gas is not liberated in an acid solution because the ammonia is in the form of the ammonium ion (NH4+) which binds to the sulfate ion (SO42-) and thus remains in solution:
N(food) ® (NH4)2SO4 (1)
After the digestion has been completed the digestion flask is connected to a recieving flask by a tube. The solution in the digestion flask is then made alkaline by addition of sodium hydroxide, which converts the ammonium sulfate into ammonia gas:
(NH4)2SO4 + 2 NaOH ® 2NH3 + 2H2O + Na2SO4 (2)
The ammonia gas that is formed is liberated from the solution and moves out of the digestion flask and into the receiving flask - which contains an excess of boric acid. The low pH of the solution in the receiving flask converts the ammonia gas into the ammonium ion, and simultaneously converts the boric acid to the borate ion:
NH3 + H3BO3 (boric acid) ® NH4+ + H2BO3- (borate ion) (3)
The nitrogen content is then estimated by titration of the ammonium borate formed with standard sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, using a suitable indicator to determine the end-point of the reaction.
The concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles) required to reach the end-point is equivalent to the concentration of nitrogen that was in the original food (Equation 3). The following equation can be used to determine the nitrogen concentration of a sample that weighs m grams using a xM HCl acid solution for the titration:
Where vs and vb are the titration volumes of the sample and blank, and 14g is the molecular weight of nitrogen N. A blank sample is usually ran at the same time as the material being analyzed to take into account any residual nitrogen which may be in the reagents used to carry out the analysis. Once the nitrogen content has been determined it is converted to a protein content using the appropriate conversion factor: %Protein = F´ %N.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages. The Kjeldahl method is widely used internationally and is still the standard method for comparison against all other methods. Its universality, high precision and good reproducibility have made it the major method for the estimation of protein in foods.
Disadvantages. It does not give a measure of the true protein, since all nitrogen in foods is not in the form of protein. Different proteins need different correction factors because they have different amino acid sequences. The use of concentrated sulfuric acid at high temperatures poses a considerable hazard, as does the use of some of the possible catalysts The technique is time consuming to carry-out.

A friend recently reminded me that in addition to the beach and ski vacations, there is also the eating and drinking vacation. An excellent point, especially as we are going to Paris in December, which has neither beach nor mountains, and I am very excited about it. Though of course we'll be seeing the sites and I'm looking forward to just wandering around in that beautiful city again, what I'm really looking forward to is the eating and drinking. Likewise, J and will be in New York for a weekend in November, which will also be an eating vacation. We have already mapped out our restaurants.
One more entry on Egypt coming shortly…

"If you don't know my midnight, don't be jealous of my morning." That is a quote from Mr. Willie Boulware, my former employer. What he meant was that we should not be envious of others' success if we did not know the troubles those people had been through. In the 70's, I was the school secretary and he was the principal at the Alternative School, a school for children with discipline problems. He was a man of great wisdom, and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with him and learn from him.
He was a poor black kid in the south in the 40's and 50's. He became a talented musician and played in those wonderful first soul/rock and roll bands. And oh, the stories he loved to tell! During his adult life he taught school and was a principal, a preacher, and served on community boards all over town. He ended up with six college degrees, in everything from English literature to education to ministry.
According to today's local paper, the Rock Hill Herald, Mr. B used to also say to his children "Do your best and strive for more". He not only said that to his children but to his students and his employees. Most people who were around Mr. B for any length of time improved their lives — either by going back to school, seeking a better job, or broadening their thinking. He was forever encouraging, actually pushing everybody to do more, to go for their dreams.
Mr. Boulware died Monday after some years of illness. I am so very grateful for the impact he had on my life. He was a good man who made this world a much better place. Oh, what a legacy! Thank you, Mr. B!
P. S. Thank you to the Rock Hill Herald for information.

Crypto-Gram: September 15, 2006: "The point of terrorism is to cause terror, sometimes to further a political goal and sometimes out of sheer hatred. The people terrorists kill are not the targets; they are collateral damage. And blowing up planes, trains, markets, or buses is not the goal; those are just tactics. The real targets of terrorism are the rest of us: the billions of us who are not killed but are terrorized because of the killing. The real point of terrorism is not the act itself, but our reaction to the act.
And we're doing exactly what the terrorists want."
Bruce Schneier's Crypto-Gram Newsletter is one that people should probably read whether they are techies or not. His observations on terrorism are so dead on it's unreal. I only wish that the media and politicians of the world had half the rationality and common sense that Bruce does.
Back in the day, I ran a dial-up bulletin board named My UnKnown BBS. This blog is the reincarnation of that board, more or less. Shout out to Erik 'the' Ratcliffe who did run across this whine fest. Another to the members of Net-109, or at least those who might remember me. Same goes for the TriBBS SysOps of the world, what few are left. Oh, the name "Kuramarujo" is my Shikona, or fighting name, in Sumo. I play a few of the virtual sumo games (think Fantasy Football) under this name.

Weipoint Address Verification
Connect your existing identity to the Ethereum Blockchain
You can now cryptographically link your Ethereum addresses to a Keybase account on Weipoint. Keybase accounts can be linked with sites like Github and Facebook, making it possible to connect your total existing digital identity to the blockchain. Attempt it out at weipoint.com/wallet/verify or view my own proof at weipoint.com/service/keybase/antonioj
Up until now, identity on the blockchain has been separate from identity on the existing Internet. While this anonymity is sometimes desirable, at other times it is beneficial to know exactly who an address on the blockchain belongs to. For example, it would be superb to know for a fact the ICO contract you are funding is authentic, or the address you are sending to does in fact belong to your Facebook friend Matt. Having this link also permits decentralized applications to utilize your identity, opening up a fresh category of possible interactions. Weipoint now permits you to provably establish this link inbetween your Internet and blockchain identity.
Weipoint creates a message announcing that your address is linked to your Keybase account. This message is then cryptographically signed by both your Keybase account and wallet containing your address, proving you own both accounts. Afterwards, this message along with the corresponding signatures are publicly displayed so that anyone can verify its authenticity. All of this is done without placing any trust in Weipoint itself.
After you accomplish the verification, Weipoint will display your Keybase account username on your address page, as well as on any clever contracts you create using that address. Additionally, Weipoint automatically detects other Internet accounts, such as Github, Reddit and Facebook, that you have linked to your Keybase account and will display your usernames for those sites as well. Addresses and contracts will be discoverable by your Internet usernames through Weipoint search.
Verifying the address with which you create your contracts can be a fine way to establish trust with your users. Since Weipoint automatically displays your linked accounts alongside your contracts in search results, your users will be able to quickly verify the authenticity of your clever contracts. If you link your organization's website to Keybase, Weipoint will also display your web domain alongside your other verifications, which can be helpful if your users already recognize your domain name. Check out an example here.

Skip to comments.A Day in the Life of President Bush (photos) - 3.19.04
Posted on 03/19/2004 6:01:42 PM PST by MJY1288
President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush leave the East Room after speaking about Iraq at the White House in Washington, March 19, 2004. President Bush told officials from 83 nations that differences over the Iraq war are in the past, that deeper resolve is needed in the broader war on terrorism and that they must resist making concessions to al Qaeda. Later in the day President Bush and the First Lady visited the wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C. ................ Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
President George W. Bush reads a baby book with U.S. Army Reservist First Lieutenant Brandan Mueller of Webster Groves, Mo., his wife Amanda, and their daughter Abigail at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Friday, March 19, 2004. Lt. Mueller was injured while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
End of Pics
Be back in a few, I have a small honey-do list to finish :-)
You know how the liberals, or left-wingers like I prefer to call them always complain that the president never went to any funerals of the troops who lost their lives (as if Billy Jeff went). Does anyone recall Billy Jeff visiting any soldiers at Walter Reed while he was president? I certainly don't
This laptop is defective! I wish it'd quit.
Lord knows I loath clinton but in all fairness, did we have any wounded at Walter Reed during his reign of terror?
I think the more important fact is there is no record that the New York Senator ever visited Walter Reed Hospital.
That's what I get for working on a church cookbook.
BTW, is there a FReeper cookbook somewhere?
On a serious note, who would want that much security and hassle when you have a loved ones' funeral, and having the President come to it?
I'm sure he does something, but imposing himself (and the media would spin it 60 ways to Saturday!) - that isn't him.

So last night we made our second trip to the emergency room with our daughter.
Our first was about a year ago when her finger was slammed in her brother's bedroom door.
Last night, my daughter had her last softball game to be followed by an awards ceremony. My son was at another field in town with his own baseball game.
We had decided that since this season has been so scattered with the rain, my husband and I would both attend our daughter's event since my son still has baseball for awhile.
My parents came to join in the fun and I had the video camera ready to go.
She was really having an amazing game, a couple of nice hits and she was able to play 1st base (her favorite). She was so happy we were all there to see it.
Then sadly, a throw came to first base and we all thought she may have actually caught it, but soon realized she got hit.
I saw her coaches go running, I turned to my husband and said, "Go." This is because he is faster than me and I needed someone there fast.
As she walked across the field, her face just began to swell, then I saw dark blue almost immediately. I really thought we'd throw some ice on it and she'd be back out there, but the more I looked at it, the more concerned I was getting, it was so huge!
I told my husband I was ready to panic and take her somewhere and that he needed to talk me down. Another parent showed concern at how fast it was swelling and my husband looked at me and said, "Go, I'll pack up the stuff and meet you there."
I am a little ashamed to say that it took my mother saying, " We'll go to J's game and meet you at home later" for me to even remember I had a son! I was panicking like no body's business.
I was a storm of emotion on the inside, but held it together until I hit a particularly long red light, where I did a little bargaining for my daughter's health.
When we arrived at the emergency room, it occurred to me I had never been there before by myself and I wasn't quite sure what to do with my car. I am very thankful for the valet attendant who took care of it all, for a $5.00 charge of course, but it was so worth it as I fumbled with locks and windows and general confusion.
Everyone at the emergency room was amazing. The hospital closest to us is a teaching hospital and I am always a little nervous, but both doctors we dealt with were spot on.
The concern was of course, a broken cheek bone. Nothing about her injury indicated that was the case, but the only way to be sure was to do a CT scan, and that brought up a whole host of other worries, like radiating my child's developing brain and such.
We decided, as the kindly Dr. Murphy assured us this is exactly what he would do with his own grandchild, to wait and see if it got worse before we proceeded with the scan.
We finally arrived home, where I was so touched by receiving a call from her coach, a teammate's mom (whose daughter threw the ball and is my daughter's friend and was very upset about it. I felt awful, I hadn't even realized who threw it and I assured her that my daughter was fine, and it was of course, and accident, they were sweet enough to grab my daughter's trophy and are headed over this afternoon so they can see her) and the commissioner of the softball league.
In all of this, the thing she is most delighted about is that she was supposed to get her palette expander put in tomorrow morning, but we are postponing that until she is cleared by the doctor and healed up. Love that she found the silver (literally!) lining.

I know Fred will never see this, and it wouldn't matter to me if he did. Though I'm trying to forgive him (and myself) and let it go, I have to get this out. I hate to broadcast my "dirty laundry" and drama. Besides, I feel if you don't want drama, you need to go live in a cave, even then, I'm sure survival mode will have drama of its own. Letter to Fred that will never be sent:
Dear Fred,
I'm trying to forgive you for taking most of my life from me, and forgive myself for being so stupid as to allow you. I've had much time to think, and I know my "perceptions" of your treatment of me most of the time was, in fact, just plain cruel. I am astonished anyone could be so cruel to me, after all I've done for you. Yes, I, too, have done things that weren't right, but I was never outright nasty and cruel to you. You were right in what you once said to me, "I think we balance each other out well." Yes we did, you've been more cruel to me than anyone in my adult life, and with the exception of my son, I've been kinder to you than anyone in my entire life. Perfect balance, 50/50, in that respect. 90/10 (me/you) in taking care of each other, 75/25 (you/me) hurting each other.
Your promises to never break up or let me go, we belonged together and would be forever, blah, blah blah, were things high school couples say to each other. I was foolish, yes, a high school relationship it was, that lasted longer than normal. Or, are you just a player? Yes, as I looked through my journal entries, you were playing me the whole time. You were good, very good, even Oscar winning. You used me for money, "space" at my house, rides, my vehicle, anything you could get from me. When it became crystal clear I had nothing left to take, you figured, "Oh well, easy come, easy go." When before, you refused to ever let me go, when I'd even mention it, or gave you "outs", like you need to tell me yesterday if you even think you can't be with me. "Oh, I can handle you, I'll never leave you, no matter what." High school, or great performances, because you knew you'd lose all I had left to offer? Definitely "player", because that's what happened.
No, you didn't "officially" say the words, "it's over", "I don't want or can't be with you anymore", or anything like that. You stated, "If we haven't been able to work things out by now, we never will." I perceived that (as anyone would) as the same thing as a "break up". I never ended it, and even said "If you need anything, you can call me anytime." You didn't. You had in the past because there was still some hope you could get more out of me. These are all based upon facts. 1) Right after my 1st miscarriage, you hit me, out of pure anger, over something that was to your benefit. I was ready to walk out the door, you were so sorry, broke down, and swore to get control of your anger. (I still had money) 2) Right after the 2nd miscarriage, you said such cruel and hurtful things, all because I wasn't there to help you with something I didn't even know you needed me for. You were so angry, "Where were you today when I needed you, you're worthless and good for nothing but drama!" I shot back, not in anger, but in shock and pain, "Where were you when I was screaming in pain losing our second child?!" You bent down beside me and laughed…a most sinister laugh. I started out the door, you said, "If you go out that door, don't ever come back!" I calmly said, "Don't worry, I won't. Good luck, you're gonna need it." I was halfway home when you called me, "Please come back, please." Foolishly, I did. Though you were calmer, you weren't be very nice. I wanted to leave several times, you wouldn't let me. I didn't sleep that night at all, and had to work an early 8 hour shift the next morning. (I still had a bit of money, and "precious" items of yours at my home.) 3) After my hugest breakdown last fall, you were rightfully angry, as it was the worst one I ever had that you witnessed. You still continued to come to my house. (you needed to tend to your "precious" things, do your laundry, etc.) You know I could give many more examples, but I'll stop here.
Oops! I have to take a small part of that back. In the 1st few months we were together, you had told me, never contact me again, etc. I was so foolish as to beg you: "Oh, please take me back!" What you were doing was "testing the waters" to see if you should pursue. When you realized, "Wow, I've got her! She is pathetic and desperate!" Ah, you knew then you had a weak, mentally ill and stupid woman, who had money. Taking candy from a baby. Since I was already in a relationship, it was an added benefit that you were able to "steal" a person, you defeated 2 people at once! Now, that's downright cruel and inhumane.
Breaking up with you on Christmas day was truly cruel of me, I know that, and I'm still very sorry about that. You never contacted me (you knew I had nothing left). After 3 weeks, it was me (again) who broke down and begged you. I suppose you actually took pity on me and figured, "What the hell, she'll drive 45 minutes down to get me once a week and bring me home the next morning! I can do my laundry, get a massage and foot rub, AND get laid without any effort on my part!" Oh, yes, you'd give me $10. Honey, 10 bucks didn't cover the gas and noticeable increase in my water bill. After a couple weeks, though I had no money left, you found there was hope that I could still possibly be of more use to you in other ways. Oh, but you were oh-so-careful this time. Your "precious" stuff you brought into my home, was not really that special to you, and you could care less if you lost it. If you hadn't been the whole time we were together anyway, you met someone else who could be of more use to you than me. You didn't have the balls to tell me, you just treated me like total shit, and knew I was so weak I'd end it, leaving you off the hook. Of course, you didn't contact me. After 3 weeks, on Memorial Day, being miserable by myself in the king size bed, Jacuzzi suite (at a non-refundable rate) I booked for us months ago, I called you. Your store was closed, I blocked my number, and you answered: "Hello". You never answered your phone when you were closed unless it was me or your Mother. Of course, that's only when I was around, so I guess I truly don't know for sure. The ONLY time you EVER answered simply, "Hello", (that I ever heard) was the 1st time I called you, almost 6 years ago. You always say "********" (your store's name), unless it was me or your Mom, it was, "What are you up to?"
Combined with your total disregard for my feelings, utter indifference, could-care-less if you ever heard from me attitude, tells me you are, without a doubt, talking to (at the very least) someone else. I went a few days without contacting you, then your Probation Officer called me asking for you. I couldn't figure out why he called me, and you're lucky I didn't give him your real phone number. I felt it was the right thing to do to give you the message. We talked and had a pleasant conversation, I figured you'd call me later that night, you didn't. I remembered, you ended the conversation with "I'm sure I'll talk to you at some point." Without thinking, I called you when I was walking into work yesterday morning, and asked, "Just what does 'I'm sure we'll talk at some point' mean?". Your reply, "That's just something you say when you end a phone call." WTF! You've NEVER said that to me, or anyone!!!!! You asked if I wanted to come to your house later and stay the night. I was so tempted, but said no. Besides, I wouldn't put it passed you to have been an hour away at your Mother's, you know, the address you changed your driver's license to so you wouldn't have to worry about your Probation Officer showing up where you really live? Then you could say, "You never showed up." Sorry, history has proven you are more than capable of such cruelty.
You may have a genius IQ, an excellent memory and be great at solving problems (so you say, but, history has proven that not to be completely true). Though I'll always remember the incredible sex and how hot you are, you sir, are a coward, manipulator and the cruelest (sure I still don't yet know the depths of your cruelty) person I've ever met! You're an expert in "double-talk" and "side-stepping". You haven't given a solid answer to anything in months! You once said you would like run for County Commissioner someday, you should! Your the perfect candidate, and would need no advisor!!! You told me more than once, "I can 'dance' and I will cut you down".
I hate to say it, Barney was right, you are a despicable person who took advantage of a vulnerable woman! I have to laugh when you once said you were more of a man than Barney or my son's father combined. Hah! You were and never will be even a tenth of the men they are!! Well, congratulations, you must be so proud! You took down a mentally disabled woman, who was kinder to you than anyone ever was (so you said). Ah, yes, something a "real" man should be proud of…
I do believe in Karma, being "played" by you is mine for hurting Barney like I did, 10 fold. Karma shall come for you, also. It's so tempting for me "help" it along by naming you and your store, I could, as I'm not committing libel or slander. Everything I've written in my blog or told anyone is true, and I have proof that it is. You would have to prove that it's false AND damaging to you in some potentially negative, life altering way. If I still didn't have some love left for you and other people I care about who could be hurt, I WOULD. I just hope and pray Karma finds you before you have a chance to do this to another person…

Welcome back to my wilderness story. If you are just joining us, you can catch part one here, and part two here. If you're in the middle of the valley - in the wilderness - I pray that the story He is building in me gives you hope for today!
Let's do a quick recap - we've discussed what a wilderness season might look like in your life. We've seen how the Isrealites (like myself) tend to turn back to Egypt while walking through the dry seasons. Today we are going to end with the HOPE that comes from deciding to stop turning around when it gets hard, but keep going!
Today we are going to pick up in Isaiah right after God tells the people He will break them like a potter's jar where not one shard will be recognizable. (Isaiah 30:12-14)
"For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said:
In repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength."
But you were not willing,
And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses,"
Therefore you shall flee!" (Isaiah 30:15, 16)
Did you catch that???? Repentance and rest will be our saving grace. Our strength will come from quietness and trusting in Him. I had not been willing! So often I am not willing, y'all.
This has me thinking, why is rest and quiet so hard? Perhaps it's because I idolize busy. People who are busy seem to be important or at least have a lot to offer. I tend to think I need to say yes to everything because that might make me a "good Christian", anybody there with me? I don't trust Him to choose the best for us, so I choose all of the good things, hoping one might be the best thing. But then when the BEST thing finally comes along, I don't have time - or I can't even hear the call because my mind is cluttered and chaotic.
Verse 18.
"Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound o four cry; when he hears it, He will answer you. Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, our Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, 'This is the way, walk in it' whenever you turn to the right or to the left. And you will defile your graven images overlaid with silver and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure things and say to them, "Be gone!"
Reading this passage is like taking a deep exhale, right? If you find yourself in this wilderness season of life, looking back toward Egypt - please feel this message of hope today.
This has become my promised land, y'all. I want so badly to hear a voice behind me saying, "this is the way, walk in it." This is my ultimate goal.This is purpose.
But what is required from me to accomplish that? Repentance. Rest. Quietness & Trust.
God wants my compassion, my obedience, my trust… not just my sacrifice. He wants my heart, not my check in the box. He desires me to, like Mary, choose the better part - Him.
He doesn't need our service. He simply wants us.
The wilderness is our opportunity - welcomed or not - to be still before Him. It's our chance to press into Him, to depend on Him ALONE. It is the place He brings us to so we have no other choice. Think about all of the miracles that the Israelites saw because of the wilderness:
The parting of the Red Sea which included walking on DRY LAND and the drowning of all of Pharoah's chariots, horses and men.
Being led by a pillar of fire and a cloud.
Bread raining from heaven. (Can we stop right there and talk about this? Eventually they begin complaining about the bread and begging for quail. Who, in their right mind, would ever complain about eating bread every single day???? I WISH I could eat bread that rained from heaven every day, y'all. They're crazy!!!)
Sweet water from a rock.
The supernatural writing of the ten commandments.
And that's just a few.
Miracles, y'all. Because of the wilderness, not just in spite of the wilderness.
Did you know that most scholars suggest that the journey from Egypt to Canaan was 30 days - at most?!
Exodus 13: 17 says "Now when Pharaoh had led the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, 'The people might change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.' Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea". (Emphasis mine).
God saw that they might change their minds when they see war! So he took them through the wilderness to protect them both mentally and physically. His desire wasn't to slow them down, but to build up their faith, preparing them for the war that was definitely coming, but in His timing which, unfortunately, is often not ours.
In other words, He taught them things in the wilderness that He wouldn't have been able to if they had simply gone from point A to point B. If we went straight from mountaintop to mountaintop there wouldn't be much time for reflection, gratitude or refinement. But for some reason, I still find myself fighting the valley between instead of embracing it. Do you?
I have found that it takes a lot of discipline to be still and yield to the unwanted seasons of life. It takes a lot of faith to hang on and believe that God will do what He says He will. We are not alone in that struggle. Even after building up the Israelites' faith in the wilderness, only 2 out of 12 leaders ended up believing that God would do what He said that He would. Only two, y'all.
We have to remember that the wilderness wasn't the consequence. WANDERING in the wilderness was the consequence. The wilderness was the way taken out of protection, provision and preparation - all in Gods sovereignty.
We fight the wilderness like it is somewhere we shouldn't be. But God takes us that way to show us miracles that we otherwise wouldn't see. To still our hearts and provide for us the BEST parts of Himself. To prepare us to trust Him when we get to the banks of the Jordan when we can't see any way through, around or across.
The Israelites could have avoided 40 YEARS wandering around if they would have just trusted God to come through on His promises. If they would have simply remembered all that he had done for them and promised to do for them, they might have avoided it all. They gave up forty years in a land of milk and honey because they put God in a box and said that this fight was too big for Him.
So what is up ahead for you? What do you need to believe Him for today? What thing seems impossible for Him - the thing that you wonder if He even remembers you are waiting on?
Turn back to that page between the Old Testament and the New Testament and grab hold of it tightly.
Do you feel forgotten? Do you feel lonely? Do you seek God but feel silence? Think about those 400 years of silence and what that must have felt like. How dark and deserted it must have been. Perhaps that is how you're feeling now. Let the weight of that sink in for just a moment.
Now turn the page to Matthew 1:1.
"Now here is the genealogy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ."
Not only did He show up, He gave them JESUS.
He always shows up.
He showed up for the Israelites time and time again. Even in the wilderness, even in their disobedience, even in their complaining. He showed up. Even after 400 years of silence, when they felt like they had been completely abandoned and forgotten. He showed up and He sent the Messiah! That was a wait worth having!
"For the Lord your God has blessed you in all that you have done; He has known your wanderings through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord you God has been with you; you have not lacked a thing." Deuteronomy 2:7 (emphasis mine)
We have not lacked one thing.
Even in the wilderness.
If you are in the wilderness with me today, let us all take time to look for the Manna that is raining from Heaven. We can decide to keep our focus on the promises, not just the Promised Land. Let's intentionally remember what He has done and is doing in the waiting.
It won't be easy, but God never promises easy, does He? Or quick timing.
"Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
"Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert. " (Isaiah 43:18,19)
Will you not BE AWARE OF IT?
I guarantee He's showing up if you just look for His faithfulness. Trust Him to do it. To walk with you. To guide you. To be that sometimes still and small voice behind you saying THIS is the WAY.
But we must be aware of it.
What is your wilderness story? What is He doing for you in the deserted and dry places of your life? I pray that if you find yourself covered with the dust of the wilderness journey, that you'll find hope in His words today. Praying that we each walk well... baby step by baby step today. Thank you for allowing me to share with you!

Eutelsat participates in live satellite-delivered 3D-HD demonstrations
March 19th, 2009
Eutelsat Communications is taking part in a full satellite demonstration in Europe of the end-to-end 3D broadcasting chain at the Sat Expo Europe 2009 international conference and exhibition in Rome from 19-21 March. Using capacity on Eutelsats Eurobird 3 satellite, a live music performance will be filmed, transmitted and projected in stereo 3D-HD on a cinema screen and on prototype models of stereo 3D-HD television sets.
Organised by Eutelsat, OpenSky and dBW, the demonstration will reproduce in full the conditions of a live 3D event. The three-dimensional shooting and production is managed by dBW, a specialist production company based in Rome, while OpenSky, which specialises in transmitting digital content via satellite will manage the encoding, decoding and projection. The three companies have also agreed to combine their resources and expertise in order to be able to provide end-to-end 3D services in Europe, from filming to playout.
The full-scale demonstration in Rome of a 3D out-of-home viewing experience is a prelude to a radically new way of experiencing cinema and television content. In addition to enabling an audience to share the same level of sensation as in a theatre for a live performance, stereo 3D-HD has the potential to enrich the entertainment offer in cinemas and theatres and transform them into innovative multimedia entertainment centres delivering premium content.
The demonstration in Rome marks a new step in Eutelsats participation in the emerging market for 3D transmissions. Satellite capacity at the Groups 9 degrees East position occupied by the Eurobird 9A satellite has been transmitting a test 3D channel over the last three months as a testbed to analyse the performance of screens, encoders and decoders, and to gather experience on the use of 3D content in the home and public locations.

Mardi Gras
So I have been terrible about blogging lately, mostly because we are in the 2nd half of the term, so I suddenly have midterms to grade and a final to write, and actual work to do while at home. I will try to get caught up as well as be better from now on. So recently we were at our new home away from home HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery). It is super close to our house, is totally green, serves great organic food (pizza, burgers, etc) and really yummy original organic beers, and best of all is totally kid friendly- so you can see why we basically live there. Anyway, we were there for dinner and Rory was totally flirting with this table of 30 something guys. Well of course she was wearing an assortment of accessories (she will not leave home w/o beads, glasses, hats, or some combination on her person) so they started calling her Mardi Gras. "uhoh here comes mardi gras again." they were really nice to her, but Pat was less then thrilled with the nickname or the bead wearing for that matter. (wait til he sees that I put up naked mardi gras pictures!!) I think this story lost it's point somewhere, so I will just add the pictures. THese are all from april and demonstrate her new love of accessories. sorry for the rambling... ps- I especially like that her beads frame her tummy- I am sure that this picture will torment her

Last night I got into a discussion on what game theory is. Now I have been a student of theories my entire life, as I see it. All that information got snarled up before I could say a word, so it was not easy to define game theory in a flash. However I did realize that we were playing a card game so I used that as my analogy.
Game theory is the study of strategy used to get results. It is a plan to win a chess game, to win a hockey game, an election, war or even to get a job. The strategy you employ (whether you know your strategy or not) is the game theory you use to obtain your goal. Everyone uses game theory. One of the most popular theories is fight or flight. That has been changed to fight, freeze or flight due to the fact that some people get so nervous that they can do nothing but collapse/freeze.
When we have events such as the Jasmine Revolution, we can look to see what the theory was and map it out. Did Mohamed Bouazizi know that his actions would spark the Jasmine Revolution, would cause a number of other events in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen and the Occupy movement all over the world? You would have to believe that he did not. However his own personal actions had been rooted in the theory that if he set himself on fire the government would take notice and make changes to the current system. That was his game theory and he was right.
Now this is a very simple example of game theory. There are much more complex psychological strategies which have been studied. Yet the currents and streams of thought on the subject all deal with plans that a person or group uses to achieve a goal.
Game theory is often studied along with the art of decision making and information gathering. These three elements are all part of strategy. You need the right information to make the best decision so that the correct strategy is used.
For example we can ask why a government would rather shoot its people than allow protesting. The initial reason is to gain control of the populous. Governments feel threatened by large mobs of protesters so that mob has to be put down. That is one level. The other level is the personal one where the person in charge, Prime Minister, President or General also feels that their life is in danger or their job. This personal level hinges on dignity, power and self-image. The leader feels that the people should be grateful for the life provided and a large protest is a slap in the face. Also the leader sees a possibility that they will be ousted from power so that has to be fought. Next there is the image that no one else has the right to hold the position that the leader now holds, it is theirs and the mob is trying to steal it.
How leaders deal with these perceptions is where game theory comes in. They must ask themselves, what is the best method to end the protest, to retain power and to regain the admiration of the people. Shooting them is a popular choice because it does work, for a time. Shooting and killing is the theory employed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Burma, Columbia, Libya, DRC and the list goes on.
For peaceful examples we have Poland Solidarity Movement 1980, Czechoslovakia Velvet Revolution 1989 which lead to the peaceful 1993 seperation of the Czech Rebublic and Slovakia, and the Ukraine Orange Revolution 2004. Each has taken place in the last few decades. We can go further back for examples of peaceful revolutions yet these are perfect enough. As you can see the use of peace as a strategy is a successful game theory and it often results in a stronger country. Of the peaceful examples Ukraine had a number of setbacks, yet the initial game theory of peaceful demonstration worked.
That is a quick summation of game theory. My theory in the game of understanding is that by using such broad examples it is easily understood.
Just as I was writing this I have learned that Vaclav Havel has died this morning. He was the person put up as the leader for the Velvet Revolution. Rest in peace my friend you did a great job, we need more like you.

text: INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Drugmaker Eli Lilly & Co. reportedly is courting ImClone Systems Inc. and is offering approximately $6.1 billion for the biotech company. Indianapolis-based Lilly is in advanced talks about the deal, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week, citing people familiar with the matter. The newspaper said Lilly is the unnamed large pharmaceutical company that ImClone's chairman, Carl Icahn, has said offered three weeks ago to acquire the company for about $70 a share, pending a review of its books. In a statement, ImClone said a "large pharma company" had completed a due-diligence review of ImClone's books and made a buyout offer not subject to financing or more due diligence. It did not say how much the company was offering. "Negotiations between the parties are under way and the large pharma company has requested that ImClone not divulge its name until negotiations are completed," the statement, which the company attributed to Icahn, said. The deadline for the review of ImClone's books to be completed was just before midnight Wednesday, at which point ImClone said it would reveal the suitor's identity and whether there was a firm deal or the potential buyer had backed out. Lilly spokesman Mark Taylor would neither confirm nor deny that his company is the buyer, saying it doesn't comment on "market rumors and speculation, especially if they relate to potential deals." "This is market speculation," he said. "We're not going to comment." The tug-of-war over ImClone started three weeks ago, when the company rejected an offer from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., its partner in developing and marketing the blockbuster cancer drug Erbitux, and said it had a secret suitor offering $70 per share. Icahn, a billionaire corporate raider, rejected the $62 offer from Bristol-Myers CEO James Cornelius as "absurd" and suggested Cornelius could find better ways to enrich his lawyers or draw publicity.

Do thoughts of dental hygiene leave you feeling overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to locate dental care information? If so, then you have landed in the right place. Keep reading to learn sound advice on how to resolve any dental problems you are experiencing, as well as prevent future problems from occurring.
To clean your teeth effectively, select a soft-bristled toothbrush and be sure that the size is appropriate for your mouth. Don't let bacteria grow on your toothbrush. Rinse it thoroughly after use and allow it to air dry. Your toothbrush should be stored in a location that contains lots of space so that air can circulate.
Brush your teeth after each meal. Waiting a long time to brush your teeth after a meal allows plaque to build up, which can cause damage. Brushing within a half hour after you eat will limit plaque damage. This can help save you from toothaches in the long run.
It is extremely important that your toothbrush remain clean. Make sure that you clean all of the toothpaste and debris from it after you are finished with it. Be sure to place your toothbrush in a proper toothbrush holder to prevent the bristles contacting anything dirty. Storing the brush in the container or on a counter encourages bacterial growth. Avoid this. Be sure to buy a new toothbrush on a regular basis.
See your dentist at least once a year. You will greatly improve the health of your teeth with regular dentist appointments. It is far less costly to prevent dental problems than it is to treat them. Even the most seemingly minor concerns can escalate quickly and with dire consequences. Fast treatment is important for your wallet and your mouth.
Your molars are just as important as your front teeth. It's easy to focus on just the teeth you see in a mirror, but this can cause plaque build-up on back teeth, which can progress into decay. Be sure to habitually brush the back and front of your teeth to help prevent problems.
Are you afraid that your brushing sessions aren't long enough for effectively eliminating plaque build-up? Consider using mouthwash or a disclosing tablet. Follow the directions on the product. Any problem areas should appear on the tooth surface as a pink or blue stain. Keep in mind, however, that these products must be thoroughly brushed away after use. This is definitely something that you should only use when you have nowhere to go.
Dental Care
Although finding good knowledge on proper dental care can be difficult, this article should have provided you with great knowledge for getting started. Dental care involves many things, from locating an excellent dentist to having your cavities filled. Use the information you have learned to help keep your teeth healthy.

text: Broncos John Elway has mastered yet another aspect of the NFL By Zac Stevens Posted on September 6, 2017 [get_snippet] [theme-my-login show_title=0] Share Tweet Email Print ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The injured reserve is much like a cemetery for an NFL roster. Often a grim, depressing "place" where players' seasons typically go to die for the year, there is rarely any positivity coming from the daunting designation. The Denver Broncos, however, are an exception to this in 2017. Instead of the dreary designation that it is, the Broncos, led by John Elway's mastery, are treating the IR as a waiting room, holding talent for the future. Less than a quarter into Denver's first preseason game, rotational defensive lineman Billy Winn got tangled in a pile of players, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and damaging other ligaments in his knee. Just a few plays into Winn's season, it was over, with a season-long trip to the IR in Winn's future. Winn's misfortune is a typical example of why, and how, most players end up on the doom list. For the Broncos, however, Winn is the exception, not the rule. At least as of now. Denver currently has two other players on the IR outside of Winn: starting outside linebacker—and former first-round pick—Shane Ray and rookie third-round pick wide receiver Carlos Henderson. While it's not ideal that either are on the list—as it means they will miss at least some regular season action—Elway's brilliant use of the IR in both cases lightens otherwise dark scenarios. In the case of Henderson, he'll have to wait until his sophomore season until he can play again as he was placed on season-ending IR. So, how can there be positives when a talented player is forced to miss an entire year? For Henderson, it boils down to this: he wasn't likely going to see much of the playing field this year anyway. As a third-round pick in April, at a position of need, the initial thought was that Henderson could have an impact in both Denver's offense and special teams during his rookie year. However, as the offseason progressed, it became clear that the learning curve was significant as the Louisiana Tech product transitioned from a non-Power Five conference, Conference USA, to the NFL. Because of this, it seemed as if Henderson would take a year to learn the NFL before seeing much playing time. On top of that, in Henderson's first, and only, preseason game—in which he sustained the injury that put him on season-ending IR—he fumbled two kickoffs. Although he recovered both, it put doubt on his ability to be an effective special-teams contributor this season. After the game, it was discovered that Henderson tore a ligament in his left thumb and later underwent surgery. Although the exact timetable for his recovery was never released to the public, by the time Henderson would have been able to come back, he would have likely been so far behind in his progression that he wouldn't have been able to catch up enough to play this year. So, Elway and Co. put Henderson on season-ending IR to free up a roster spot, while keeping him in the organization and allowing him time to recover from his injury and also catchup with the playbook. Essentially, for Henderson, 2017 is a redshirt season without using a roster spot on a player that was likely not going to play anyway. While other teams have utilized the IR for similar purposes in the past, as the Broncos did with Henderson, what Elway did with Ray is truly masterful. Just days into training camp, it was determined that the Broncos' pass rushing specialist tore a ligament in his left wrist that required surgery. What was initially believed to be a six-to-eight week recovery, according to Vance Joseph, putting him back on the field in the middle to end of September, apparently was delayed a few weeks. Instead of keeping Ray on the roster and using one of the 53 valuable spots on a player that wouldn't be able to play at the start of the season, Elway decided to use the IR to his advantage. "With the surgery—it kinds of falls good for us and here is why we decided to go that way: He has to be on IR for eight weeks. Our [Week 5] bye week counts, and then our [Week] 8 game is on a Monday night. With that being on a Monday night, the eighth Sunday counts as a game. We'll get him back for the [Week 8] Kansas City game. He's only going to miss six games," Elway said. "We didn't want to use that spot. He's not going to be back any earlier than that. When he does come back, he'll really be ready to go. Having that fall that way for us, it helped us with that extra slot." Essentially, Elway made the mandatory eight-week IR turn into six games and opened up a roster spot for over a third of the season in the process. Sure, the schedule fell perfectly for the Broncos in this situation—with the bye week coming in the first eight weeks and their eighth game falling on Monday instead of Thursday or Sunday of that week—but Elway recognized the IR rules and took full advantage of it. In a business where every yard matters, finding even the smallest advantages matters, and when it comes to the 53-man roster, coaching staffs value every spot as gold. While teams occasionally use the IR to their advantage, the IR rarely becomes a great asset. At the start of the 2017 season, the Broncos, led by Elway, have mastered the IR, turning it from a place of doom to an advantage. Log in Username or E-mail Password Remember Me Lost your password?

NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia —
Police in New South Wales had a laugh when calls about a suspected domestic disturbance led them to a man deathly afraid of spiders.
More popular and trending stories
We'll let the police give you the rest of the story, as told on their Facebook page.
21/11/2015 Wollstonecraft 2.00am. Police received numerous calls in relation to a violent domestic, with reports of a woman screaming hysterically, a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, your dead! Die Die!!", with the sounds of furniture being tossed around the unit.
Numerous police cars responded to the address and began banging on the door. A man answered the door, out of breath and rather flushed with the following conversation:
Police: "Where's your wife"
Male: "umm I don't have one"
Police: "Where your girlfriend"
Male: "umm I don't have one"
Police: "We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?"
Male: "I don't know what you're talking about I live alone"
Police: "Come on mate people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit"
At this point the male became very sheepish.
Police: "come on mate, what have you done to her."
Male: "it was a spider"
Police "Sorry??"
Male: "It was a spider, a really big one!!
Police :"what about the women screaming?"
Male: "Yeah sorry that was me, I really really hate spiders"
As it turns out the male was chasing a rather large spider around the unit with a can or mortein. After a very long pause some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left.
