Recommendation: ***** (5-star)
Positives: Another action packed adventure that weaves history throughout.
Negatives: One instance of a character saying "Oh my god!"
Talking Points: The books talks quite a bit about the history of apartheid in South Africa. Talk with your kids about this and other injustices that people have suffered over the years. Talk about modern day injustices, what groups of people are currently being discriminated against? Christians in many countries suffer greatly for their faith. Here is a link to a great resource to learn more about our brothers and sisters who suffer persecution around the world. How about unborn children? Here is a link for a video that talks about abortion. Please note, you will want to preview this video as it contains graphic images that aren't suitable for young children. Older children may be able to view it with you. How should Christians respond to these issues? Scripture is very clear that all people are created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26-27). As image-bearers of Christ, He sees us each as a precious and unique creation - a small-scale expression of His great glory. We are to treat people as He did. Read James 2 which talks about the sin of partiality. Talk about different ways we can love others in our neighborhood and around the world.

Are you in need of assistance and advice regarding your health, welfare or living arrangements? Or do you have an elderly loved one who can no longer adequately care for his or herself?
If you are concerned about your quality of life — or that of a loved one — and are unsure what kind of help is available, Brown's RN's and Geriatric Care Managers, Inc. can provide the right solutions to address your needs.
Our comprehensive range of services cover every aspect of elderly life, from addressing medical, physical and psychological needs to providing expert advocacy and coordination with other service professionals and healthcare providers.
We begin with a comprehensive Geriatric Assessment to identify the client's needs and issues.
We then share our findings with the client and family members, and together develop a care plan, which can include medical coordination, medical advocacy, coordination with other service providers, assistance with navigating health insurance and Medicare system. If necessary, we can also help clients and family members evaluate assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
Finally, we implement the plan and monitor the client's progress and status, addressing needs and issues as they arise.
We work with and for our clients, using our deep understanding of their unique needs to ensure they receive the compassionate quality care they deserve, whether they are in their own home, in the hospital or living in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Our goal is to keep our clients safe and healthy in the environment of their choosing.
The following sections describe our services, which are tailored to meet the each client's individual requirements, desires and goals.
Geriatric Assessment Service
Family members struggling to care for an elder relative long-distance are at unique disadvantage, since their inability see firsthand what is happening hampers effective decision-making. Family members living in close proximity to the elderly loved one can also find it challenging to make decisions regarding appropriate living arrangements, medical treatment options or financial planning.
In both cases, neither the relatives nor the elderly relatives possess the knowledge, background and critical objectivity to evaluate the current situation and determine appropriate alternatives.
A Geriatric Assessment by our professionally trained and certified geriatric care manager serves as the first step in developing a plan of action that keeps loved ones safe, secure and independent as possible. During the onsite evaluation (either in the client's home, hospital, or where he/she is currently residing), our care manager conducts a thorough evaluation encompassing
- health and medical status, nutritional assessments
- functional abilities: paying bills, bathing, dressing, transferring, walking, driving, shopping, cooking, swallowing, vision, hearing, etc.
- adherence to medications and doctors' orders
- general safety of the living situation
- cognitive capabilities and impairments, memory loss, and emotional well-being
- socialization and utilization of community services
- legal and financial status (including documents such as Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Surrogates and Living Will as well as estate planning and trust arrangements.)
The results, prioritized by the most pressing concerns, help determine the client's current strengths and weaknesses, and form the basis for an individualized Care Plan.
Care Plan Development
Following the Geriatric Assessment, our certified geriatric care manager will develop an individualized Care Plan, based on identifying the most immediate needs, short-term and long-term needs. This plan will include (but is not be limited to) medical care coordination, community referrals for home health aides, companions, transportation, counseling, and meals. If needed, we can help with assisted living or nursing home placement as well as senior entitlements (Medicaid, Veterans benefits) and other medical and social services.
We then present the plan to the family and client, and together determine how to best ensure the client's safety and overall quality of life.
Care Management Services
Our Care Management Services include Medical Coordination, Medical Advocacy and Coordination with agencies and organizations as well as other types of Specialized Assistance depending on the client's specific needs and requirements.
Medical Coordination: Medical coordination involves the following services:
- Reviewing and managing compliance with medication and at-home disease self-monitoring (such as blood sugar or blood pressure testing).
- Assessing client's overall health conditions and disease management, alerting family members and healthcare providers of any issues, complications or adverse drug or treatment reactions.
- Weekly or as needed monitoring of client's progress, and communicating status and concerns with all parties involved.
- Assisting with transition from hospital to home or health facility, or from home to retirement community, assisted living facility (ALF) or nursing home, along with evaluating specific facilities, upon request
- Screening, arranging, and supervising in-home help or other services
- Offering counseling and crisis intervention to clients and family members.
Medical Advocacy: Medical advocacy involves acting as a liaison and advocate between families and healthcare providers by providing services such as
- Accompanying clients to healthcare appointments and treatments, and educating them and their family members regarding proposed procedures and options.
- Reviewing client's medical records, and explaining test results, proposed treatments and other information to the client and family members in clear, non-medical terms.
- Identifying health specialists to address specific health issues, obtaining any needed referrals from primary care physicians to meet health insurance/Medicare/Medicare requirements.
- Reviewing financial or legal issues and offer referrals to appropriate resources to avoid future financial or legal concerns and to conserve assets
- Coordinating with healthcare service providers regarding prescriptions, treatments, outpatient therapies or other care modalities.
- Supervising home health or nursing services to ensure protocols are being followed.
- Providing weekly or more visits to patients in their homes, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers or assisted living facilities to ensure that client's needs (physical, mental and emotional) are being met, and ensuring that any lack or lapses are addressed before becoming critical issues.
- Advocating, counseling, educating, and guiding clients and family members through the long-term impact, cost and emotional burden of chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer's, dementia, cancer, Parkinson's, cardiac disease diabetes, depression, multiple medical diagnoses and functional decline.
Coordination with agencies and organizations: In addition to coordinating with healthcare providers, we also provide information on community, local, state and national resources and agencies. See our Resources page for more information and links.
Specialized Assistance
Health Insurance, Medicare/Medicaid
Navigating the health insurance and Medicare/Medicaid systems, with their complex requirements, number of forms and confusing terminology, can be overwhelming for most people. We have extensive experience and background in this area, and can ensure that clients and their families understand:
- What the rules are regarding assets and Medicare/Medicaid/VA benefits
- What benefits clients are entitled to
- How to apply for additional benefits such as those available to military veterans

It has been 40 years since the launch of the best seller book "Dress for success" written by John T. Molloy. The book talks about the profound effect style and clothes have on the person's success. It introduced the concept of power dressing that encouraged women to don suits and take the corporate world by storm.
Women tend to become victims of bad fashion choices when it comes to dressing up for a job interview. The long lists of interview taboos like no dangling jewelry, no tattoos, etc add to the stress
Women also become complacent with their fashion choices after they get hired in the company. The need for "dress to impress" slowly fades away and they tend to blend in with the styles of their co workers.You can find more information about occasion dresses from Chesca here.
However, the trend is slowly but steadily changing. A growing number of women are becoming more confident in their fashion choices and are no longer afraid to push the boundaries and explore cool workplace dressing styles.
Women entrepreneurs must understand the power of corporate dressing. The way you dress is a visual representation of the person you are and of the work you do.
"What you have on is your business card," says the managing partner of Q social media ltd, LaQuishe Wright. She suggests women to wear minimalistic dresses with signature jewelry which will make them not only look elegant and sophisticated but also like someone who takes her business seriously.
It is important to send out such a powerful message in order to network and expand your business.
Clothes have not becomes a medium of expression. A simple shirt or footwear gives you an opportunity to speak about your company on a non verbal platform. It is important to send out consistent messages or else people will get confused.
For example Tania Haigh who runs the successful firm Magnolia Insights which concentrates its efforts on marketing for women and mothers, ensures that her dressing style reflects the contemporary approach she gives to her clients. "I prefer to wear print blouses, pencil skirts and booties", she says.
This new approach to dressing up is a refreshing change for people who do not like to be bound by the traditional job appropriate work attire.
Ms. Haigh says that bosses should be open- minded and not enforce strict dress code for staffers. She also suggests creating a culture of authenticity that allows people to be who they are.
Another successful business woman Zoë Barry who has developed the app ZappRX, choose to ignore the jeans and sneakers uniform and instead opted for silk blouse, pixie pants and black leather over-the-knee boots to complete her formal look.
When people hear her walking down the hall in her power boots, "They don't question that I'm the CEO", she said.
You can also find your own formal look by taking inspiration from the below 4 looks that women entrepreneurs and professionals are following.
If you are a lawyer and have to engage in meetings with clients or if you hold a senior position in a firm, then dressing up in a business formal will help you to look the part.
You can choose to dress in a well fitted pant or skirt suit. Opt for neural shades like black, brown or navy blue. A white buttoned up shirt with collar goes well with the suit.
A pair of closed toe heels in neutral shades will complement the outfit well. Choose a pair of studs instead of chandelier earrings. Well groomed hair and nails will make a good impression on your clients.
If you have a career in finance, accounting or if your company has a strict dress code, you can choose the business professional look.
A business professional look is neat and more traditional compared to the business formal look. You can add your personal touch by experimenting with colors and accessories.
A suit or a well fitted skirt paired with a top or jacket look perfect for nailing the business professional look. A solid colored button up shirt with closed toe pumps work well with the outfit.
Choose a high quality piece of statement jewelry that is not very distracting. Well groomed hair and nails with a clear coat or beige never go out of fashion.

Riding the bus
I have an almost pathological aversion to spending actual dollars. I don't think I'm alone; one of the favorite tactics of financial bloggers for someone who has trouble controlling their spending is to tell them to spend cash for everything. For that reason, it's usually not a bad thing. An aversion to spending leads naturally to frugality. Unfortunately, it also means that I haven't been riding the bus much. I know intellectually that $1 isn't much, but my hindbrain yells to me that it'll be $2 for the round-trip, $3 if we stop at the grocery store. And $3 is real money. I could get a shirt for that at Goodwill!
In reality, it probably costs just about as much to drive the same places, what with gas prices, maintenance, and parking. But apart from parking, I don't have to pay that immediately and in cash. They're disconnected from my travel experience.
The big exception to my penny pinching is travel to campus. As a student, I always hated coming in to campus because it was such a hassle. The metered spots, when they were open, had a 1 hour limit, which isn't enough for a whole class, let along several classes. To park anywhere else, you had to have a parking pass ranging from $80 to $300 a semester. Even then, those passes didn't guarantee you a spot. It just meant that you wouldn't be towed if you found one. The expensive passes let you park anywhere, but the cheaper passes gave you fewer options. Many times during a semester, I had to drive around for fifteen minutes or halg an hour until someone in the right type of space drove off and I could park.
And it was stressful. If I didn't find a parking spot in time, I'd be late for class. That's bad enough as a student, but I lived in fear of it as a teaching assistant. My only real accident happened while I was desperately trying to find a spot on a snowy, icy day. For a while, Maggie lived in a place about twenty minutes' walk from my building, so I'd park there and walk in when I needed to get to campus. The twenty minute walk was so much nicer than twenty minutes of circling in my car, hoping to find a place.
At the time, I tried taking the bus occasionally, but we were slightly further south than the furthest south route, so the bus only ran once an hour and took 30-45 minutes to get to campus. Depending on class times, that meant I'd often have to take a bus an hour and half early. The bus also stopped running relatively early, so I could be trapped downtown if I had other errands to run.
This semester, I'm back on campus Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I'm also on a different bus line. This bus comes every half an hour and only takes 15 minutes to get downtown. We're also situated right along a loop, so I have two chances to catch the bus, which makes me much more comfortable about getting to campus on time. Given all this, any my memories of car stress before, I planned to get a six-month pass. It's a little cheaper if you use the bus quite a bit but, more importantly, I'd no longer have to pull cash out of my wallet to ride the bus. My pacified hindbrain could imagine that the whole thing was free.
The icing on the cake is that with my new ID, I actually can ride for free! The new route also uses hybrid buses, so my environmental impact is even smaller. What a great win-win scenario!

Josemaría Escrivá, Christians and the Temporal City
In the 19th and 20th centuries, many Catholics rejected the world that grew up out of liberalism and the industrial revolution. Some of them expressed nostalgia for an idealized Middle Ages and in Spain for the Golden Age of the Catholic Kings. Many took up positions outside the modern age and attempted to build a new society based on Christian principles.
In this article François-Xavier Guerra, a professor of history at the University of Paris I – Sorbonne applies to four of Escrivá's published works the tools of linguistic analysis in an effort to determine the attitude of the founder of Opus Dei to the "modern world."
Guerra finds that in Escrivá's writings the word "modern" "does not have any negative connotations at all, but is equivalent rather to 'contemporary.'" For Escrivá "the 'modern world' … does not refer to a universe that is hostile to Christianity but simply to the world in which the modern Christian lives and in which he is not at all an outsider." Similarly, in sharp contrast to many of Escrivá's contemporaries, Guerra does not find in his writings "any allusion to a golden age or to a time or a society that represents the ideal of Christianity." Escrivá's ideal is that Christians embrace the world in which they live and annimate it from within with the doctrine of Christ.
Saint Josemaría Escrivá's Written Works and Preaching
José Luis Illanes, a theologian and former director of the Istituto Storico San Josemaría Escrivá,is the co-author of the critical-historical edition of Conversaciones con Monseñor Josemaría Escriva published in 2012. In this article he offers an overview of the corpus of published and unpublished writings of the founder of Opus Dei including the notes taken by others of his preaching and preserved in the archives of the Opus Dei Prelature in Rome. This survey excludes only Escrivá's correspondence and the statues of Opus Dei.
Illanes takes a chronological approach in this survey. He distinguishes three major periods in Escrivá's literary production: 1) from the foundation of Opus Dei in 1928 to 1946, 2) from 1946 to the late 1950s, and 3) from the late 1950's to the author's death in 1975. Most of Escrivá's writings belong to the first and third periods. During the second period, he wrote relatively little.
A particularly interesting aspect of Illanes's study is the information he gives on the very different ways in which Escriva approached writing his various works. Until about 1950 he wrote drafts by hand or on a typewriter and corrected them by hand. Around 1950 he began to use a dictaphone or tape recorder and revise the transcribed text. The Way was based primarily on notes that Escrivá had taken over many years about events in his own spiritual life and in his priestly dealings with many other people. Conversations, on the other hand, began with draft answers prepared by his secretaries to questions posed by journalists, which Escrivá then edited and revised. The homilies eventually published in Christ is Passing By, and Friends of God, began with the more or less detailed notes Escrivá prepared for preaching and later expanded with more quotations from Scripture, from the Fathers of the Church and from other sources.
Even more helpful is Illanes' explanation of the origin and significance of the series of 37 "letters" which Escrivá wrote to the members of Opus Dei. Twenty-five are essays on various aspects of the spirit and activities of Opus Dei, whereas 12 deal with the juridical status of Opus Dei. They average 60 to 80 pages, but range in length from 7 to 400 pages. They were given final form in the 1960s, but in many cases Escrivá assigned to them earlier dates that roughly correspond to the periods in which he formulated the materials on which the final versions were based.

So terribly nerdy is Dungeons and Dragons's reputation that it has eclipsed all other forms of hardcore geekdom. Even in this age, as nerd culture lifts itself from dregs to the height of aesthetic taste, Dungeons and Dragons remains an aberrant hobby. From its beginning in games like H.G. Wells's Little Wars to its actual creation by Tactical Studies Rules in 1974, D&D has never penetrated mainstream culture fully enough to explain itself coherently. To the outsider, it is a hobby relating to magic and mythology, obscured by a confounding number of rulebooks, charts, numbers, and accessories. It is played by unsocial, obsessive types who are smelly and eccentric.The game's endless depictions in The Simpsons and Futurama probably don't help either.
With this in mind, it was quite startling to sit down at the table for my first game of D&D as a freshman in high school with my friend, his mom and dad, and aunt and uncle. They are all normal people. But instead of the after-dinner movie or game of Scattergories, we sat down to imagine ourselves as wizards and elves.
Briefly, Dungeons and Dragons is played with a pen, paper, and dice with about five or six people. One person takes the role of the Dungeon Master (DM), who describes all of the settings and places and people. The rest of the people are players, who role-play heroes in a world that the DM has imagined for them. Much of the interaction is question and answer (what do I see?), guided by few rules. Some interaction, combat specifically, is amazingly complex, requiring several books to properly direct the action. There is no real goal in D&D, unless the DM gives the players one, or unless the player decides their character exists for a particular purpose.
Given that most of my current friends are nerds themselves (including Editors Kevin and Nick), it astounded me that none of them had ever tried their hand at Dungeons and Dragons. So I planned a dinner and D&D evening, enticing them with quiche and squash soup but ultimately hoping they'd enjoy role playing the most. The following is a transcription of everyone introducing their characters, to their very first fight in a bar.
The Cast
Jordan as… the Dungeon Master
Nick as… Handley Toshane, a male Halfling Rogue
Kevin as… Twitter McFacebook, a transgendered Human Wizard
Clay as… Emma Fierce, a female (lesbian) Dragon-born Paladin
Aaron as… Bigby O'Toole, a male Half-Elf Cleric
Sean as… Chen Stubsters, a male Dwarf Fighter
This is their story.
Kevin: So I know we get to pick a name, but what about gender? Like, if I'm a women, do I get drunk faster or something?
Jordan: There's no difference. Why don't we go around the room. Say your name and talk about who you are.
Kevin: My name is Twitter McFacebook. I'm a Human Wizard. I put my gender as Prince. I'll just say I'm transgendered.
Sean: Uh, my name is Chen Stubsters. A Dwarf Fighter who is a male. I am strong, hardy, and dependable.
Clay: He's Asian?
Sean: Well he looks Asian on the picture
Clay: No you imagine your own character. Like, not just that picture.
Sean: Okay, well imagine he's Asian.
Clay: My name is Emma Fierce. A female lesbian Dragon-born Paladin.
Kevin: What does dragon-born mean?
Nick: You're born a dragon.
Aaron: Dragon-born.
Jordan: I think it means an ancestor got preggo from a dragon once or something.
Clay: So how do we play this? Do we all have to talk in our character?
Nick: Yeah role play, come on. Forsooth.
Jordan: If you want. That might be a little too nerdy to begin with. We'll work up to that, and eventually we'll end with LARPing in our parent's backyard.
Kevin: What's everyone's height?
Aaron: I'm 5'11", my actual height oh my god. I really identify with my character already.
Nick: You're also a half-elf, so that helps too.
Jordan: Alright. Now that we're done introducing our characters, let's figure out where you are in this world.
The DM drops a map on the table. It shows a tavern with various tables and chairs, with a bar near the west side of the room. A rabble of patrons are scattered around.
Jordan: So you find yourselves in a local tavern.
Nick: Can we throw chairs in this tavern?
Aaron: Oh my god. Let's kill everyone on this tavern. Oh you guys are fucked, I've got +5 religion.
Nick: What does that mean? I have zero religion. I'm definitely going to steal from someone.
Kevin: I have more religion.
Aaron: But I'm a cleric, that's a religious character! I should be more religious than you.
Kevin: Do our characters have a patience level?
Jordan: Everyone pick places where you are in this tavern.
People drop their character on the map to indicate where they are.
Aaron: Oh, it's like Coyote Ugly, we're all on top of the bar doing a dance.
Everyone moves their character on top of the bar, a la Coyote Ugly.
Nick: Yeah, I'm totally dropping dollars in your G-string. Or your plated mail, rather.
Clay: Well, I'm a lesbian so I'm alone. I'm not having fun.
Nick: So how am I associated with these people? Do we have a history?
Jordan: Well you're associated somehow. It's better for you to make up a history to give your character some flavor, but for ease of play, we'll say you all know each other already.
Kevin: So we're all Facebook friends already?
Aaron: Some of us are probably friends. I'm not friends with Clay though.
Jordan: Anyway, as a band of adventurers, you basically go out and do jobs for money or treasure. So you're all hanging out at this bar, which is basically the center of social life in this small town.
Clay: Is this the Wild Rose? (a lesbian bar in Seattle)
Jordan: Sure, we'll call it the Wild Rose, but it probably isn't the kind of crowd you're thinking of. So you guys are all just hanging out at the bar… or I guess on top of the bar. Your evening is interrupted when all of a sudden the front door of the bar splinters open with a loud yell and four big, scary-looking humanoid forms burst through. These four bust down the door, and one of them takes a big axe and chops down this man sitting in a chair closest the entrance.
The DM places four markers indicating these new creatures on the map.
Sean: That guy was my friend!
Jordan: Roll a Sadness Check.
Sean: What?
Jordan: I'm kidding. Your character is sad now. Anyway, in this game I give you the setup to everything — what stuff looks like, who is where, what people are saying — and then you need to tell me what you'd like to do. So, chaos is erupting in the bar as these four scary creatures bust down the door. What do you do?
Kevin: LET'S KILL THEM. EVERYONE.
Nick: Wait, wait. Maybe… maybe we can see what they want?
Clay: No.
Nick: Could I use some sort of skill to see what they're pissed about. Like, just say, "Hey man, what's goin' on here?"
Jordan: You can do whatever the hell you want. You could make an Insight Check, which is your character attempting to divine a person's motives, feelings, etc.
Nick: My character is trained in that. I'll do that.
Nick rolls a 20 sided die.
Nick: I got an 18.
Jordan: You have a hard time sensing what they want, beyond some general desire to kill and destroy things. You do, however, see a big Red Hand tattooed on all their foreheads, and you recall overhearing a tavern patron talking about some Red Hand folks earlier in the night.
Kevin: Is that like a new band?
Nick: Can I ask them to play, uh, "Shaking Hand"?
A lengthy battle ensues, which is guided by very specific rules. Some terribly violent things occur, including the bar and bartender exploding in a giant ball of fire, magical spells whizzing around, Nick stealing everything off the bartender's charred corpse while no one looks, and Clay hiding in the corner until everyone yells at him to do something. In the end, the party emerges victorious, though a little shaken at this seemingly random act of terrible violence.
The party decides to investigate by questioning some townsfolk, eventually discovering that the attack is part of an ongoing problem of raids by a local hobgoblin and his band of ruffians. And with that, the group embarks on their epic venture, much to the consternation of their real life friends and family.

Boars Tusk is a 11.7 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Rock Springs, Wyoming that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
Incredible landscape to explore, petroglyphs near by, dunes down the road; I went today (march 16) and the road that gets you all the way to Boars tusk is very very very rough. Need a high clearance truck IMO. Still, can hike down the road to the volcano throat. Very worth the visit.
nice easy trail. go early or late in the day if you go in summer...it is the desert so it does get hot.
If you're traveling along I-80 and have 2 hours to spare I would recommend taking the time to drive North out of Rock Springs on state HWY191 towards this unusual formation. The trail that circumnavigates the formation is flat and easy to hike. Just make sure to have half a tank of gas and water.

A thinker and an intellectual
Barack Obama's hand shows that he is a thinker and a visionary. The top phalanges of his fingers are developed and his fingers are long. And whatever is visible of his Head Line shows that it is good and fine. Plus, his hand has a good texture, showing a refined mind. Combine this with a total lack of animal instincts, and it is clear that only some sort of mental occupation would have been suitable to him.
Check out one of his hand photographs here.
He is analytical and thoughtful, and has an inquiring mind. He has excellent reasoning powers which is confirmed by the length and phalanges of his thumb.The placement of his fingers shows his independence in both thought and action, but not overly so. He has original ideas but often modifies existing ones in creative ways.
A good guy
The shape of his thumb and Head Line, and the lack of stiffness in his hand show that he is not stubborn. He is in fact an agreeable person, easy to get along with, if a little cold and slightly selfish (long hand, restricted Mount of Venus). His hand shows that in his fiftieth decade he will tend to become more introverted.
He has a broad and liberal outlook on life and is generous and compassionate (shape of quadrangle, the placement of his thumb, and shape of Head Line). He is a man who seeks freedom not just for himself, but also for others.
The elasticity on his hand makes it clear that Obama is energetic, bright and helpful. He is open, can be very frank and is a friendly guy. He even has a callous on his hand which shows that he is a man used to physical exercise (this is not a palmistry indication.)
A good leader and politician
His thumb reveals more. He has leadership qualities and it is leadership with a purpose. He is determined but he has a weakness as he can be a little indecisive. His other weakness as a leader is that his will power is just about average and later will explain this in more detail.
He is not exceptionally adroit or diplomatic but he can handle people as he is a shrewd man. But however shrewd he may be, there is something about him which makes him simple at heart. This may sound contradictory, but Barack Obama is a very complex man.
So you might be wondering, is Obama hiding something behind that calm smiling exterior and those seductive words?
Well, yes and no. He is definitely a very smart man with a great personality, although I would not call him brilliant. From what I see of his hand, his Saturn finger, a finger which is the finger of wisdom and balance is short as compared to his other fingers. It is not so short as to make him lack focus or sense of purpose, but it is not long enough to give that strong driving force that a man needs to achieve his plans and ideas. He lacks sustainability in my opinion. The reason for this is a combination of his average will power, slight indecisiveness, lack of a formidable driving force in his personality, a certain coldness of temperament, and also a certain weakness to resist adversity which could become evident in a crises situation. He was born very strong, with a strong ability not to become discouraged, to carry on against all odds, but this trait seems to have weakened (Upper Mount of Mars.)
Not so nice
Obama's Jupiter finger does not indicate a deep pride. He will not risk anything to hurt his public image and could do something against his own conscience if he feels it will help him. But the question is: What wrong could he be tempted to do?
He is very honest, and as I said earlier, money does not attract him. He will never steal, not that American presidents do that! He is also not a sensual person, so he will not get embroiled in murky affairs. He will also not do anything that will hurt human beings, because there is no doubt that he is a good man who wants justice for all. And this is just my guess...it is possible that if he does do something that he thinks is wrong, he will do it because he thinks it will be for a good end.

It has been a little over 3 years now.
I was working as the Purchasing Manager for a Veterinary Practice Management Group. I did not have any direct reports at the time, just clients that kept me quite busy!
In the interest of the bottom line, my company preferred me being the department. However, I was running on empty. After much BEGGING, I was given the go ahead to hire an assistant part-time.
I was no stranger to hiring, firing, training, and managing personnel.
I contacted our Human Resources Department and an ad was placed. Resumes began piling in!
I am still amazed by the amount and varying qualifications of the applicants.
My number one rule of thumb was a misspelling was an immediate "No." My "no" pile began to grow!
There were female applicants that included pictures that focused primarily on their cleavage. Ugggh. I was going to be sharing a very small office with this person. I did not need drama. I simply wanted a responsible, trainable person that I could co-exist with.
It occurred to me that although it might seem weird to many that I could quietly pray over this pile of resumes in my office. That is exactly what I did. I prayed that God would show me if there was anyone in this stack that He wanted for this position. I prayed that it would be more than a job but a relationship that would be mutually beneficial. A life that would be blessed by the opportunity and that my days would be blessed by the time and close proximity that this person and I would share.
I would like to say that just like a scene in a movie that suddenly there was a burst of wind and the resumes blew everywhere landing on THE one. It did not happen exactly like that but close. I decided to go through the pile one last time. There it was. A very simplistic resume, no misspelled words, no fluff. I liked it.
I went to HR and asked that they call the candidate in for an interview.
When Vicki arrived, she was dressed professionally and very conservative. She was honest and not full of herself. There was a slight lack of confidence because the job was somewhat out of her norm. I assured her that I could train her. I instantly liked her.
I offered her the job.
We began working together, CLOSELY. The office was a converted bedroom where veterinary students rotated in and out while working at our practice. I think a queen sized bed would be stretching its limits.
No matter how professional that you try to keep things, in a space that small, your lives begin to become interwoven at least between the hours of 8-5.
My personal life had taken a turn for the worse (or the best depending on perspective!)
In the midst of all that, I had to travel to a national meeting in Anaheim. While there, I ran into a doctor that had previously worked at the practice where I was still working. We had always been friends and possessed a mutual respect for one another. It had been quite sometime since I last saw him or even conversed with him. Immediately the smile and true pleasure that I felt in my heart seeing him displayed itself on my face.
Looking back, that was the moment. I am smiling all over again. I was all business and did not recognize "the moment" for what it was.
He hugged me there. Pure pleasantry. However, for me it was a spark. I thought of him often after that – in a very non-romantic way. We exchanged a few messages throughout the upcoming year in regards to business.
The next years national meeting was approaching and we planned to meet for a drink and to discuss a business opportunity. As luck would have it, I got snowed in and also had a fever of104. I received a message from him asking where I was and shared my circumstance. He replied not to worry that he would be in my area later that month and would drop in to see me.
A few weeks later he walked into my office and hugged me. I introduced my assistant to him. We spoke briefly and he was on his way.
When he left, my assistant said, "Girl, I felt like I needed to leave the room! There were sparks flying all over the place in here." I assured here that she needed mental help.
Shortly after, we had a lunch with several girls from work. On the ride to the restaurant, Vicki felt that she needed to share this revelation with my best friend (who happened to be a co-worker.) I still insisted that my assistant needed a psych eval.
However, a short while later conversing with this man, I shared the conversation to which he inquired about my circumstances and boldly stated that if I were single, he would be down on one knee in a heartbeat.
Vicki had a front row seat to the birth of a love like no other.
Fast forward. I am now married to this man. The man of my dreams. Love of my life. Best friend. My everything. All because, I prayed over a stack of resumes. Yes, I felt stupid. I kind of felt like I was asking a Magic 8 ball a question. I am so glad I did it anyway!
I am grateful for my assistant who long ago became a friend, family even.
As life so often does, we have drifted to new places. However, I hold her very close in my heart. I know that God placed her in my path to better my life. Her value was far greater than the daily tasks that she performed. It was and is in her daily wisdom, caring, concern and grace.
Had it not been for her, I would still be right where I was.
God placed Vicki in my life. It may have been for a reason, or merely a season but her impact will last a lifetime. Everyone needs a Vicki.
Until Next Time,

God? [Or Evolution]
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|2 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|769 times
|Debate No:
For this rebuttal and argument in favor of the theory of evolution, I will present evidence for the following propositions:
1. The Biblical Creation narrative is actually two different stories that contradict and depict ancient cosmology. It is not literal history
2. Human evolution disproves a literal Adam and Eve
3. Lungfish burrows require a geology spanning millions of years.
First, let's get a few things my opponent said straight:
"They claim that... everything happened by chance... Can you imagine that all this world, all this uniqueness of every living thing was "by chance?""
That is not what evolution says. First of all, it's not just a roll of the dice. There is a system, based on biological and physical laws, that determine results. Second, this world is only one of an infinite number of possibilities. That's like saying "I don't believe that you grabbed a handful of sand... the odds of there being exactly 1,287 grains are near impossible!" It's an arbitrary idea that the end result was the goal.
Also, how can life come from no life?
Abiogenesis is not the same as evolution. Moving on.
1. The Biblical account depicts contradictions and mythical cosmology
We will look at two things, contradictions and ancient cosmology in these accounts
A) Contradictions between Genesis 1-2
Genesis 1-2 is filled with contradictions. In modern historical criticism of the Old Testament, we have identified some points that indicate the Torah is actually a combination of several different text sources. This can clearly be seen in Genesis 1-2. Genesis 1 uses one source, while Genesis 2 uses another.
Here's a few contradictions and changes between Genesis 1-2
1. Does God create plants before man, or man before plants?
Genesis 1:11, 26
And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them."
Genesis 2:5-7, 9a
"When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground,and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature... And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food."
In Genesis 1, God makes plants before man. In Genesis 2, God makes man before plants.
2. YHWH or Elohim?
In Genesis 1, God is called Elohim, while in Genesis 2, he is YHWH. This shows the two different sources, which had different names for God
B) Ancient Cosmology in Genesis 1
"The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters." (1:2) Nowhere in Genesis does God create water. This may seem puzzling to a modern reader, but an ancient reader, or listener in a more oral culture, would have easily understood this. Some origin myths contained an eternal chaos and water from which the universe, and all in it, was birthed.
There are other Bible verses that give the exact same idea of an eternal ocean. Perhaps the most overlooked is 2 Peter 3:5 "For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,"
"Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."" (1:6) The next day begins, and God starts the next process of sculpting, the final one that we will look at. Yet again, the eternal waters are presented. This time, however, the waters are being separated. The casual observer does not think too deeply about this passage, and the meaning can be lost.
The word "waters" in Hebrew is of great importance to understanding the original meaning of this text. Is this a literal water used literal or a figurative term, perhaps for the atmosphere? The root word used is מָ֫יִם is used, which connotes both water like would be normally conceived, and the eternal waters. The same word is used in Genesis 6-9 to connote the flood. It is used both as a literal word for water and with the idea of the eternal waters.
The concept of "expanse" is also translated as "firmament" or "vault" in some translations. To support an ocean of literal water to flood the earth chapters later, would not this firmament need to be a solid form, but is that also not a preposterous statement? The word for expanse may have meant a flattened sheet of metal, as the verbal form implies, or ice. Josephus even gives commentary that the latter is the correct interpretation when he says Elohim created a "crystalline" around the earth.
There's some translation issues. On the third day of the Creation Week God made certain types of plants: """grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree" (Genesis 1:11). Each of these terms translates specific Hebrew terms for grass (deshe"), the seed-yielding herbs ("eseb mazria zera), and the fruit trees (ets pariy).Verses 5 and 6 of chapter 2 provide a description of what the world was like prior to the creation of man. Two specific types of plants are translated from specific Hebrew terms: """plant of the field" (siah hassadeh) and """herb of the field" (eseb hassadeh). Hebrew scholar Mark Futato defines these terms as """wild shrubs of the steppe" and """cultivated grain" respectively. The wild shrubs are thorny, and they didn't come until after the first sin
II. God can be called both Eholim and YHWH. He has many different names. If he's mentioned differently, It doesn't mean that there are different sources.
B) https://answersingenesis.org... (hard to explain, I'm not a super awesome and eloquent person XD)
2. Homo naledi"s shoulder joints and curved finger bones are typical of tree-swinging apes. Its flared hips are typical of australopithecine apes. The lower ribcage widens just like the ribcage of australopithecine apes. And while Homo naledi reportedly has a """generally humanlike ankle and foot" in that the shapes of some of the foot bones could be consistent with an arched foot, this is described in the study as a lower arch with a different orientation than typical of the modern human foot. About skulls: Homo naledi"s skulls: With its small size, sloped face, and lack of protruding nasal bones, however, it could easily accommodate an australopithecine ape"s brain. Homo naledi skulls are less than half the size of modern humans" and substantially smaller than typical archaic human skulls.

check it out.... more detailed
Also, I might as well say, Adam and Eve disproves Human Evolution...
3. I'm not a scientist... I don't get what you mean.
1. How Is Mercury so Dense.
This is a problem. Mercury couldn't be so dense from gradual process. Tell me, why and how it got so dense.
2. You still haven't answered: If Evolution is true, then life had to come from rock and other non-living things. How did it come to be? Abiogenesis IS closely related to Evolution. Evolutions starts out from no life.
3. can you clarify your views and your beliefs in Evolution? There are many different forms of it.
4. Natural selection is an extremely inefficient method of spreading traits in populations unless a trait has an extremely high selection coefficient. can explain then how it worked?
This is a good debate so far, you are a tough debater and I appreciate it.
sources: http://www.evolutionnews.org...
Let me counter-rebut my opponent before continuing to his arguments
1. The contradiction of when plants were created
There needs to be some good Hebrew explanation here. First, the same word for plant is used in Genesis 1 and 2 for the plant that had not yet. The word 'eseb is used in both passages. To try to make a distinction is difficult. The word 'eseb simply means vegetation. It is not trees or the like, but instead herbs or, yes, lower vegetation. Genesis 1:30 backs up this interpretation when it says that Elohim created ALL the plants for food.
That word kal that you see in the middle, translated "all," "every," etc. affects the translation. So, Genesis 1 doesn't even make distinction between the kinds of plants created. a 'eseb is an 'eseb. I'm guessing grass is green, right? Well, even so, Genesis 2 describes that no grass or any 'eseb of the field had sprung. Yet, Elohim creates ALL green plants in Genesis 1? Still a contradiction.
It's also questionable to me: what plants do not have seeds? Did YHWH only not create ferns? That does not align with the spirit of the passage either, since God did not have plants because there was no man to work them. They were growing and harvesting plants, which God would have already created in Genesis 1.
2. Homo Naledi
I'd like to point my opponent, ironically, to the Institute for Creation Research and its view on Naledi:
" Their human feet and skulls, plus ritualistic burial, show that Homo naledi—if this name stands the test of time—was likely just another human variety."
Ironically, even other Young Earth Creationists say AiG is wrong. If you are to say it is an ape, you also have to deal with the hip socket that is shaped and projected for upright walking. The jaw and skull also lack many, many ape-like structures, and they are far closer to human. AiG's solution that it is an australopithecine... it does not have the hand structures of a Lucy-like creature, and its skull and body is far more Homo genus:
This is a australopithecine skull:
Below is Homo Naledi The differences, especially around the brow and the jaw, can clearly be seen. It's also notable we are missing part of the skull that would have the nasal bones, but this is only one of a dozen of skulls. We may learn more in the coming months.
3. Lungfish Burrows Take 2
My point is that fossilized lungfish burrows are found all up and down the geologic column. How were they formed there if not be lungfish over millions of years?
Rebuttals to attacks
1. How is mercury so dense?
I'm not sure I follow on this one. Mercury's density of 5.427 g/cm^3 is less than Earth's density at 5.515 g/cm^3. As in all cases of planetary creation, the matter of a planet is subjected to gravitational compression, resulting in a compression of the materials depending on their own density. Mercury is primarily metallic, so I really do not see the issue.
2. Abiogenesis
Evolution has to do with the development of biological organisms, not their origin. Two different issues. I too see issues with a natural abiogenesis, but that is not a question that affects evolution by technical definition.
3. Clarify Beliefs?
I am a progressive Christian who accepts evolution and denies the inerrancy of Scripture. By evolution, I hold to a school of thought more closely tied to punctuated evolution. I used to be fundamentalist and Young Earth.
4. Natural Selection is an extremely inefficient method of spreading traits?
Here is a good example of major changes within a genus. The Italian Wall Lizard ( Podarcis sicula) was introduced from its native island of Pod Kopište to the island of Pod Mrčaru. The main difference in this island was vegetation vs. arthropods as the primary food source. Within 36 years, the Italian Wall Lizards on Pod Mrčaru, which were forced to eat more plants than their ancestors, had experienced changes in their digestive tract, muscle structure in their jaw, head sizes, etc.
Natural selection did that in just 36 years. Think of what it can do in 100,000,000 years?

If you're an ultra-sensitive person, you may even want to snap was better.
The induction is usually a good be different for everyone. Mine really is the induction, do you take? Occasionally, a patient may need to stay on the treatment walks, you're drinking more water, you're trying to really look at the triggers of stresses in your life.
It's important that you feel good to work out what feels good for you. If you're taking dosages of any kind of dietary work at it, whereas 5HTP, you can. So, now we say, you know, I'm is a very smart doctor.

A proper diet should be taken by an individual out with really strong statements because I believe this. You'll also need to learn how take a lot?
The Canxida Restore you would take two capsules per more for walks, you're drinking more water, you're trying to really look at the triggers of stresses in your life. To achieve full restoration of health so you've had your induction, you've gone to bed on time, you're starting to look less at Facebook, who's liking you on Facebook all the time.

So much for the Prime Minister demonstrating he is serious about reforming the EU! David Cameron has announced it is still his 'long-standing goal' to bring Turkey into the European Union – despite the complete disaster this would be for Britain and many other EU Member States.
Turkey is not politically, economically or culturally prepared to join the EU, yet certain member states seem bent on bringing them in. Clearly the federalists' work will not be done until the "European" Union reaches east to the Bering Straits and south to the Cape of Good Hope!
Cameron's willing support of EU expansion, despite its detrimental effect on Britain, shows he will never win any kind of real results if any renegotiations are attempted – that's of course if the Conservatives are re-elected at the general election.
After failing to cut net immigration to the tens of thousands as he has previously promised, Cameron now wants to grant the 81 million people living in Turkey freedom to move to Britain. Latest figures show unemployment in Turkey (at 10.1 percent) is far higher than in Britain (at 6 percent), whilst the average monthly wage in Turkey is just 23 percent of the average monthly wage in Britain. A high proportion of these 81 million Turks will therefore flock to Britain as others from new Member States are doing.
If this wasn't worrying enough, by relaxing our border controls with Turkey we would be effectively doing the same with its neighbouring countries, such as war-torn Syria and Iraq. It is no secret the borders between Turkey, Syria and Iraq are virtually non-existent. With ISIS jihadists passing between these three countries every day, can Britain really afford to arrange free movement of people with Turkey?
The immense size of Turkey's population would also damage Britain's influence – already extremely weak – in the EU's Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. The way it works there is voting powers are linked to population size.
As a country with a larger population than any of the other 28 Member States of the EU, Turkey would have the lion's share of MEPs and a much greater voting strength in the Council of Ministers. Britain's vote share in the Council of Ministers would drop from its current 12.5 percent to less than 11 percent, robbing us of what little influence we have.
More importantly, given the brutal measures used to suppress the riots in Turkish cities this past year, just what kind of people would the Turkish Government choose to sit round the table with our Prime Minister and the leaders of Europe? Moreover, the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey – Bülent Arinc – recently told Turkish women they should not be allowed to laugh in public. Is this the sign of a country which has is culturally compatible with liberal countries such as ours?
'Cast-iron' Dave is right the EU is "not stronger, but weaker" without Turkey, but he is completely out of touch with the majority of the Great British Public who want a weaker relationship with the EU for Britain. One based purely on economic co-operation and trade. Cameron is clearly not listening to us, as unfortunately, a purely economic relationship is only possible by leaving the EU and arranging simple free trade agreements.
According to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, there will be a 5-year break before any new countries join the EU. We must hope our chance of an In/Out referendum in which we can vote to Get Britain Out of the EU comes before 2019.

Why the World Needs the Mentally Different
This is a blog written by Glennon Doyle Melton, an author and speaker with a history of mental health illness herself. I admire her honesty and humor, and in this post she has a wonderful perspective on what those who are "mentally different" bring to the table. She says, "What we who are mentally different need is respect. We know we need help managing our mental differences, but what we ask for is a shift in your approach to helping us. Instead of coming at us with the desire to change us because we are inconvenient to the world- come at us with the desire to help us because we are important to the world. We want you to see that with a little help, we can be your prophets, healers, clergy, artists, and activists. Help us manage our fire, yes, but don't try to extinguish us."
In Sickness and In Mental Health
This is an audio episode of a program on NPR in New York called Death, Sex & Money. It features the story of a couple who were married for three years, when the wife started experiencing symptoms of bipolar disorder. It chronicles her recovery and inpatient stays, as well as their decision to have a child. I appreciated the honesty of this couple who had no idea this was going to hit them a few years into marriage, and the openness in letting others see what their journey was like.
MLB Teams Nurture Players' Mental Health
Three teams in Major League Baseball hired sports psychologists or mental health coaches. For major league athletics, I am pleasantly surprised at their recognizing of the needs of the players on and off the field. So far the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, and the Washington Nationals are the teams on the front lines of this new holistic approach.
Last but not least, I'm including a fluff article about Celebrity Quotes that will Change the Way You View Mental Illnesses. It includes a list of various celebrities who have faced mental illness in some way, which I feel will help decrease the stigma for all the people who admire them and think they have it all together. My favorite quote from this article is by John Green, a young adult author. "I take medication daily and have for many years. I also try to exercise a lot, because there's some evidence that exercise lessens the symptoms of anxiety, and I try to use the strategies that I've learned in cognitive behavioral therapy to cope with my illness. But it's a chronic illness and it hasn't, like, gone into remission or anything for me. It's something I live with, something that I've integrated into my life. And we all have to integrate stuff into our lives, whether it's mental illness or physical disability of whatever. There is hope. There is treatment.

Woman's $500 half-court shot ends with surprise marriage proposal
Talk about a lucky shot.
After nailing a half-court short during halftime at a Siena College vs. Manhattan College men's basketball game in New York City on Thursday, Erin Tobin received two awesome prizes.
Since the show was part of a Dunkin' Donuts promotion, the lucky shooter took home a $500 gift card to the popular franchise.
Even better than a few months of complimentary coffee?
Tobin's boyfriend, Steve Duckett, who was hiding inside the Dunkin' Donuts mascot costume on the sidelines, proposed immediately after she sunk the phenomenal shot.
[JR: Imagine if she said "no"! Mozel tov to the happy couple.]

Featured App - Addition Blocks Pro (best educational Android apps for kids)
Candy Crush Saga has been reworked as a math app! I have seen a lot of math apps try to present a simple operation such as addition in interesting ways, but this is the first monkey-free math app I have seen that children will get addicted to playing, always wanting to get to the next level and better their score.
External links to Facebook and Google Play to rate the app
$1.99 Edu - $2.99
FREE Pro - $0.99 Edu - $3.99
Addition Blocks EDU was reviewed by Cynthia over at Smart Apps For Kids and given 4 stars, this is what she had to say:
"Addition Blocks for Education is a highly customizable addition drills game created by a middle school teacher. It won the PBS Kids Prize in 2012 at the STEM Video Game Challenge and is also helping me add without using my fingers."
This mental math game plays like an arcade game, where the player is required to clear blocks in order to level up. A target number falls down the side of the screen and adjacent blocks totaling the target number must be cleared from the pile. Being a timed game, the challenge is to clear all the blocks before the tower of target numbers reaches the top.
The color coded numbers make it easier to find the numbers required and the lack of cutesy images mean this app is also suitable for older kids working at a lower level. Excellent graphics and no ads mean your child can focus on the game.
Smart Apps For Android was paid a fee for this sponsored post.
WINNER! 2012 STEM Video Game Challenge!
AdditionBlocks is an addictive, fast-paced puzzle game to test your addition speed and skills. Simply destroy the falling target blocks on the right side of the screen by tapping on adjacent digit blocks. When the digit blocks sum to the target, the blocks are destroyed and a new target sum begins to fall. Making sums of 2-times, 3-times, (or more) the target sum earn the player multipliers. Add quickly, or the falling blocks will stack up! Can you handle the Challenge Mode?
From a review on AppPicker.com: "... there comes a time when [block and puzzle games] elements can be harnessed to deliver something new and groundbreaking... And it practically forces you to brush up your math skills, too! Now, what game can be more nobler than that?"

Dixxl Tuxxs - Using InDesign as a PowerPoint Alternative | 188MB
Genre: eLearning | Level: Intermediate | Language: English
PowerPoint has been the standard for creating presentation documents for years. If you've ever been frustrated with the look of the files created there or if you've ever had a PowerPoint presentation change once it was moved to another computer then this course is for you.
This course will start slow, so if you've never used InDesign before, don't worry, we won't leave you behind. First, We'll see how to work with InDesign pages instead of PowerPoint slides. Next we'll learn how to create vector shapes that can be used as graphics. From here, we'll learn how to create and format text to fit with our presentation as well as how we can bring in images or graphics that were created in other applications. To wrap this training up, we'll learn how to export our interactive files out of InDesign.
As a bonus, We'll learn how to get your flash based animations to show up in your interactive PDF files. By the end of this training, you will not only see the benefit to creating your presentation files in InDesign but you'll also be excited to get started doing just that.

Why Today's Soaring Deficits Don't Inspire Fears
Though New Threats Loom, Complacency Has Reigned Since '80s Concerns Faded
Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan's advisers worried that his federal budget deficits risked causing an economic calamity. But the calamity never came.
That goes a long way toward explaining why politicians are more complacent over today's deficits -- and why, ironically, a deficit-induced crisis may be far likelier.
The main threat of deficits...

Whirlpool Gas Dryer heating intermittently, timer not working
Model Number: LGR6611LQ0 Brand: Whirlpool Age: More than 10 years
I have a Whirlpool gas dryer (model LGR6611LQ0) that's having a few issues. I've fixed things on it a few times before, and am trying to figure out if I can do it again, or if at this point I should just let it die, because the problems are racking up.
A few problems:
1. The dryer developed 2 new problems at the same time, just a few days ago. I normally use it on one of the auto-dry settings. Suddenly, when I use one of those settings, the timer no longer advances, so the dryer will just run continuously until I stop it. At the same time, the heat stopped working correctly. If I turn it on high heat, it'll heat up a little in the beginning of the cycle, but as far as I can tell, doesn't come on again after that, even when you run it for 6 hours like I accidentally did. My temporary fix has been to turn it to a timed setting. When set for a specific time, the timer does advance, and the dryer shuts off after the time alotted, but the heating issues still occur; heat only runs at the beginning of the cycle.
2. The door switch has been broken for about a month. If we open the door while the dryer is on, it keeps spinning. I've found the part for this, and it looks like an easy repair, but it's another tick on the check list of this dryer moving toward death.
3. About a month ago, we were hearing intermittant thumping noises from the dryer, like it had shoes inside. But it didn't; it was just regular clothes. This has since gone away, weirdly enough.
Any help or advice you can give would be very appreciated! Thank you!

Update: I have taken the dryer apart to try to test the gas coils, as that seemed a likely cuplrit. I pulled them out and tested their continuity, and both seem acceptable. Using a digital multimeter set to 2k ohms, the 2 terminal coil is measuing 1302. The 3 terminal coil is measuring 1390 on the middle prong (but this number jumps allllll over the place while I try to get a reading) and 580 on the right prong. This seems to be within acceptable tolerances, right? So I'm moving on to something else, I suppose.

The coils get warm and their winding separates, so the dryer heats once then cools off. You would need to test the coil's continuity after it heats and quits.
Replace the coils and door switch and you should be up and running again.

If it heats up once and doesn't heat again until it cools completely off, its usually one of the coils. (replace as a set).
I've replaced so many over the years that I lost count long ago. It is one of the most common failures on gas dryers. I always kept several sets of the coils in stock. Next to belts and rollers and sometimes a thermal fuse, they are the most replaced parts.
The thumping noise could have been the drum rollers. They are like little rubber car tires and if the dryer is stopped while hot, they can get flat spots. They will thump right along until they warm back up and smooth out.
Usually this doesn't happen, the dryer goes through cool down before turning off.
In my experience you have described several problems with this dryer. The door switch problem is a fairly common item and easily and usually low priced to fix. Sometimes I squirt a small amount of WD40 in the plunger type and it frees it up. On the lever type you need to replace the switch.
The rollers can take a set and/or develop a flat spot but the bearing and shaft may be beyond repair. This is unusual however and I find the roller surface may be worn badly. Quite often I take the rollers out and switch the left for the right and vice versa after the shafts have been cleaned and lubed. Sometimes it is adequate. Dont neglect the drum support slippers. They support the opposite end of the drum. These are usually replaceable but some are not. If there is a problem with the timer your dryer is too expensive to repair. Gas valve coils are easy to replace and not very expensive. For some reason both do not fail together . When you have the drum out you should check the condition of the belt and the idler roller also.

This year, we've welcomed new supplies, visuals, and most importantly old and new faces to the art room. It's always a special time of the year, preparing for the arrival of all of you. Even with the addition of some artsy displays, it's the students that bring the color to the art room. Whether it was in the hallways, at recess duty, or in the art room, your smiles, excitement and creativity made each "first" day together so special. On our first three days together, I saw familiar faces, meet new ones, and even welcomed two new grade levels to the art room. I'm so excited to finally meet and work with our kindergarten and 1st grade artists. We are going to have a wonderful year together in art.
Each year I create something new to add to our studio space. This year it was an exciting new Art Word Wall, chalkboard wall, and new ART letters.
We used the work of Keith Haring to visually explore the way of the art room. These pictures helped us learn or remember what's expected in the art room. These illustrations came from the wonderful, Cassie Stephens.
Character Counts! 3rd Grade Respect
After meeting with 3P and 3O'S for art, I had the pleasure of piecing together our first mystery mural. Each student created their own unique 6"x6" drawing. When these pieces came together, they created a complete image. Our six collaborative murals will be unveiled and displayed in the hallway, right outside the art room. These murals will visually display the character trait being explored by that grade level. It was fun working collaboratively with Mrs. Hua, the art teacher at HES, to create images that capture these themes. Many of the symbols were inspired by the relatable work of artist, Keith Haring.
Students were encouraged to use the elements of art as they explored materials and there grade levels color.
The quote, "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." by Vincent Van Gogh, now finds a place on our new chalkboard wall. It also fits with the school theme and this special project.
More new things
This year we will be exploring a school wide theme in art. During the course of a year, each grade level will Discover the Impressionist and creating a work of art inspired by this time period in art. Students will study the work of, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Degas, and Camille Pissarro. This theme was inspired by my most recent trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum. The, Discovering the Impressionist exhibition is in its final days, and will be closing Sunday, September 13th! You still have 2 days to get there! What a treat it was to see these impressionists' paintings up close.
Make sure to Follow our TG Art blog or visit each week, to see what we are creating in the art room.
Have a wonderful school year!
Ms. Beck

The idea of privatizing K–12 education has been gaining traction for the past several decades. In his new book, veteran teacher and school administrator Samuel Abrams offers a thorough critique of for-profit and nonprofit educational alternatives, while also suggesting that public schools look to the business world for some key strategies: offering competitive salaries, giving teachers more autonomy, and employing sampling techniques rather than universal testing to gauge progress.

Foothill Ranch, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2016
Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of power conversion and safety testing equipment and automated test systems, announces the release of a new addition to their 61800 series of Regenerative Grid Simulators. The 61830 is a full 4 quadrant, fully regenerative, 30kVA AC power source with advanced features satisfying rigorous regulatory standards testing as well as design and verification testing throughout the product development cycle.
The 61800's power can both sink and source from the UUT seamlessly to support countless applications. In cases where the UUT sources current, a detection circuit will sense the excess power and recycle it back to the grid. Designed to simulate grid characteristics the 61800 is targeted for testing PV inverter, on-line UPS, Smart Grid, Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Energy Storage System (ESS) applications as well as common electrical product testing such as home appliances and industrial electronics requiring a programmable input source.
The 61800's extensive feature set boosts state-of-the-art digital control technology and can deliver up to 330VAC at output frequencies ranging from 30Hz to 100Hz. Optional 0-400V L-N / 0-692V L-L is achievable without the need for a transformer. The AC+DC feature allows for applications that require a DC offset bias. In addition to supplying clean, precise and stable AC voltage, the 61800 is capable of simulating various types of distorted voltage waveforms and transient conditions required by product validation testing.
The Synthesis function allows users to create periodic harmonic voltage waveforms of up to 40 orders based on a 50/60Hz fundamental frequency. The Inter-harmonic function allows users to perform frequency sweeps ranging from 0.01Hz to 2400Hz on top of the 50/60Hz fundamental frequency. This special function assists users in locating the resonance points. The 61800 series is also able to provide precision measurements such as RMS voltage, RMS current, true power, power factor, current crest factor and many others. By applying advanced DSP technology, the 61800 can easily simulate power line disturbance (PLD) using LIST, PULSE and STEP modes. RS-232, USB and Ethernet interfaces are available to control the 61800 grid simulator remotely.
