Simón De Agüero's elegant constructs appear as tent-like canopies or translucent vertical and horizontal intersections lightly tethered to the landscape like atmospheric currents. His work redefines space in subtle ways that combine elements of both architecture and sculpture. De Agüero approaches fabric as a delicate building material, constructing spatial relationships that beautifully integrate his interests in architecture (he holds a Master of Architecture degree from The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture), sculpture, and design. His structures, often made of fabric in combination with adobe or other organic materials, suggest a nomadic, tenuous relationship with the environment, like clouds passing overhead. For Simón studying, experiencing and designing quality spaces is a life long passion.
When belief negates believing in anything, Nothing emerges into nothing all being is non being It is perhaps also described as a place your definitions Must be left behind and all that is Remaining, is Spirt and Soul But even those words hold too much tension for this sensation Distant, yet all competing voices long for acknowledgment, sensed The calling rythums of our heart pulse into the Infinitely opposite, balancing directions as a call to dance.

At SFAI
I was fortunate to have several roles in the Santa Fe Art Institute. I worked, attended residency workshops, curated festivals and exhibition and helped create the education outreach program from scratch with that assistance of hundreds of artists and thoughtful people. SFAI provide a perfect sanctuary for my creativity to be tested and discussed. As a budding architecture student, I explored and interacted with every component of the complex. As a graduate of Master of Architect from Taliesin I curated the Ricardo Legorreta memorial exhibitions. My 7+ years of direct interaction with SFAI was life changing and well worth the challenges became my responsibility.

Where the creative process normally ends, there is Marieke's start. Her broadmindedness brought forth magic like Supertoys, Vieze Poezendek and Milkshake Festival. The festival scene lacked a for all who love ethos with an endlessly diverse crowd. Taking brands she fully supports to a higher level: this also makes her heart beat faster. Starting D.O.L.HOUSE (brands & concepts) was the next logical step in the career of Marieke. Her creative spirit combined with commercial insight are the exact needed instruments that get the best out of a collaboration. Her motto? The time is always now.
Maz Weston moved to Amsterdam at the end of the 80's and organized with 'Soho Connection' the very first illegal Acid House Warehouse Party in the town: exciting times where everything seemed possible and a whole new musical revolution took place. She works currently in Paradiso as producer – or mostly 'trouble shooter' – for events such as Manifesto, Oud Hollandsch Acid Feest, Black Tea Party, F*cking Pop Queers, Gouden Kabouter Awards and Lovedance. This year she's taking care of the music programming for Milkshake. What makes Amsterdam an exciting place to be? Possibly the fact that so many different cultures and scenes live, work and party together bringing color, tolerance and sensation to the city. Milkshake brings everyone together in the same positive way – it's a day to celebrate life.

20 things to do while not multiplying churches
1. Call yourself an apostle. Have some business cards printed. Hand them around.
2. Throw lots of money at subsidizing unhealthy, declining churches.
3. Throw money at "experimental missional initiatives" and never evaluate their effectiveness.
4. Set goals for multiplying new churches but don't make it clear who is responsible to accomplish the goals.
5. Make someone responsible but don't give them any real authority, discretionary time, or funding. Change the appointment every two years. After ten years, save money by retiring the position and making everyone else responsible.
6. Appoint a committee to undertake a study and write a report. Wait three years then do it again.
7. Hire a consultant to undertake a study and write a report. Wait three years then do it again.
8. Appoint the wrong people to plant churches. When they fail conclude that church planting doesn't work.
9. When you see a healthy church plant say, "Yes it's growing but it's not really a Reformed/Baptist/Assemblies of God/Presbyterian/Methodist/New Vine/etc (choose one) church."
10. Require pioneering leaders to be theologically trained before they can plant a church.
11. Throw your best leaders at your biggest problems, not at your greatest opportunities.
12. Watch pioneering leaders exit your movement and then comment on their lack of commitment.
13. Reward pioneering leaders with promotions. Get them away from the front line. Harness their drive to keep the institutional wheels turning.
14. In the 1960's change the word "missions" to "mission." To usher in the new millennium change "mission" to "missional." Around 2010 plan to change "missional" to "postmissional."
15. Agree to plant new churches when: (a) You're large enough (b) You're healthy enough (c) You have the leaders to give away (d) You have the money to spare (e) God has clearly shown you it's time (f) When the cow jumps over the moon.
16. Run workshops on church planting. Hold conferences on church planting. Offer a course at your theological college on church planting. Do nothing to follow up with the people who show an interest. Make sure only experts get to teach. Keep the practitioners away from the students. Keep the students in the classroom.
17. Grow your church, facilities, staff, and budget as BIG as you can. Let your vision stop at your car park. Let church history end with you. Let the Kingdom dream die.
18. Set ridiculous but catchy sounding goals like "500 in 5 years," or "2,000 by 2,000." Three years after the target date expires set new goals. Don't forget to change the dates!
19. Modernize your theology then postmodernize your theology. Remove evangelism and church planting from the centre of God's mission in the world. When decline hits make sure the paid professionals are the last to feel the pinch.
20. Lastly, set up a blog on church planting. Link to other bloggers on church planting. Be sure they link to you. Add smoke and mirrors.

Well Guy, I guess you felt it was time to take the gloves off huh? What makes this both humorous and sad at the same time is the truth found in each statement. Catchy phrases, inspiring goals, etc will never take the place of plain ol' hard church planting work. You need to frame this one. I'm going to use your post this week in my training of SC Churches. Thanks!

These are too funny.
I have to disagree with #20, though. We have really benefited from the wisdom coming from church planting blogs. We read and reference you guys fairly often, and are learning valuable, PRACTICAL tools from people who are actually in the trenches.

I agree with kiki. What's wrong with blogging ... so long as it doesn't kep us away from the front line of real contact with those who are not yet Christians.

Ellon Rugby Club got their 2016/17 season underway with a bonus point win over a Deeside team which started the match with just 13 players and ended it with only 11 following injuries.
The result takes The Meadows side to the top of BT Caledonia League Division 2 North (East) after week one, leading Banff in second place on merit of points scored.
Despite starting the match with two fewer players, Deeside got the first score on the bored and converted to lead 7-0.
Ellon pegged their visitors back to 7-7 and Deeside managed to hold onto this score until around the half hour mark when Ellon started to cross the line frequently.
The match ended 48-7, securing all five points for the home side.
Next up for Ellon will be the visit of Banff this Saturday, who beat Shetland up in Lerwick by a score of 32-7 at the weekend.
This will be followed by home and away fixtures with Garioch, Shetland and Aberdeen Grammar 2nd XV before the league is split and Ellon face three new teams from BT Caledonia League Division 2 North (West).

Approached by a discreet and private laneway, the property and gardens enjoy privacy and seclusion, yet so much is so close.
Temple is a small hamlet centrally located between Carryduff, Saintfield, Lisburn and Ballynahinch. There are local shops nearby and regular buses to Belfast and Newcastle making it the ideal location for access to schools and commuting. In addition, there are two excellent golf courses and restaurants within a short distance.
The well presented accommodation in the main house extends to approximately 2600 square feet and offers a superb family layout with the added benefit of a guest bedroom with en suite shower room. In addition, the original dwelling cottage remains attached to the main house and at approximately 800 square feet it provides an excellent home office and with it's own access could be used for a variety of uses or self contained accommodation.
The delightful and mature gardens extend to nearly 0.7 acre and provide many outside areas to relax and enjoy the views. In addition, there is a paddock of nearly one acre accessed from the lane and a large barn which could be used as stable block or garaging.
A most impressive country home and grounds, viewing is highly recommended.

It is the close of one year and dawn of another, and in London, hub of international commerce, readers of the Economist take heart from its assessment of the near future.
"The Reichstag and the French Chamber, the American Congress and innumerable resolutions passed by political and commercial associations in this country, all point in the same direction," the newspaper reports. The direction in question?
That leading towards peace, of course.
The dying year has been one marked by increasing prosperity and accelerating globalisation, surely the best form of insurance against general conflict. Forecasts trumpet innovation in transport and communications, binding humanity together in an ever-stronger community of interest. The dying year will be remembered in Britain for its exceptional summer, one forever viewed through a wistful haze. The newborn year requires no introduction. It is 1914.
A century ago, as 1913 died, European civilization began its elegant stroll towards the precipice. The old world and its certainties had eight or so months to live, as did hundreds of thousands of young men, rich and poor, French, German, Russian, Austrian and British. They would be the first of millions to fall, consumed in the first titanic battles of a conflict so traumatic that it would later be considered unrepeatable and thus deserving of the title "Great War".
The interregnum separating the nominal end of the Edwardian era in May 1910 from the outbreak of war in August 1914 is perceived today as a tenuous moment, a golden sunset. But there was no uniform sense of doom at the close of 1913.
Commentators, the more optimistic at least, looked forward to a century of progress, issuing a stream of predictions, comical and prescient, about the world of 2013.
"In Europe, the atmosphere could perhaps be best characterised as one of self-satisfaction at past achievements – 98 years of general peace, with only a few localised wars, huge increases in prosperity, the march of 'progress', mixed with tremors of anxiety about the future," says Charles Emmerson, author of 1913 – The World Before the Great War.
"Most Europeans felt that their continent was, quite rightly, the centre of the world. They had ridden a wave of modernisation which made the world seem more dynamic than ever. As for war, it seemed both ever-present and somehow terribly distant. Europe had been through a series of scares over the last few years and war had always been averted. Why not again? In Britain most people worried more about war in Ireland, the Suffragettes or militant trades unionism than European war."
Sir Vansittart Bowater, elected Lord Mayor of London in 1913, expressed the optimism of the time in a pre-Christmas article for the Evening Independent. Looking ahead to 2013, he predicted a world in which a horse in the street would excite more interest than a dirigible airship droning over St Paul's Cathedral, and in which people travelled from London to Paris via a tunnel under the English Channel. Travel to Mars would be possible by virtue of some as-yet undiscovered anti-gravitational force, and cancer, that terrible scourge, would be a mere memory.
The Evening Standard also peered into the crystal ball. The Empire would still exist in 2013, it predicted, but in the form of an Anglo-Saxon federation incorporating the United States. The imperial capital was expected to move west to a site on the Canadian-American border, while the British Isles were to become a kind of de-industrialised pastoral theme park, a place of veneration for the British family of nations. India might be self-governing by 2013, but probably not. More faith was placed in China. "With her wealth of internal resources and her teeming millions," wrote a correspondent in Peking, "a Westernised China must sooner or later count as the controlling factor in industrial and military struggles of the world."
Those who restricted themselves to the near-term were more clear-sighted. "Wherever we look, we see the grim apparatus of war," lamented the Daily Graphic. "Well may we pray for a Happy New Year!"
The editor of the Daily Chronicle was similarly haunted by what might lie just beyond the horizon. "It requires no gift of prophecy," he wrote on Boxing Day 1913, "to foretell that this mad competition in military expenditure will end in disaster."
No gift of prophecy, indeed. The armies and fleets were assembled, awaiting the order for mobilisation. The railway timetables were ready, for a million one-way journeys.
"The world of 1913 was a dynamic, modern place, more interesting than the sepia-tone view we sometimes have of it," says Emmerson. "In Europe, people believed in the certainty of a better world tomorrow in a way that was much harder to do in 1930. If you were quietly roasting yourself in front of the grate in London in December 1913 it would have been hard to imagine all that history was about to throw at you. That this was the last New Year of peace, the last New Year of the old order."

San Juan Islands Sculpture Park
A little treasure at the entrance to Roche Harbor is a 19-acre outdoor sculpture park, home to more than 120 unique sculptures by Northwest artists. San Juan Islands Museum of Art is the steward of this unique piece of land that features gently rolling fields of grass cut to create natural corridors between sculptures.
In addition to the interpretive center, visitors can attend family art days offered on most Saturday afternoons in July and August.
Roche Harbor Gardens
The gardens in the resort center are a lovely place to stroll any time of the day, and make a perfect place to soak in the sun while reading a book on the grassy lawn.
Two areas offer unique experiences: a more formal garden with hedges, roses and flowering perennials hark back to the gardens' origins in the late 19th century. The sunken garden features a gently sloping, kidney-shaped lawn canopied by a large maple tree and surrounded by a wide variety of fragrant perennial and vibrant annual plantings.
A corridor separates the two gardens with its signature "ADIEU" sign amidst century-old clematis vines, under which meander the slaloming yellow bricks of the old fireboxes from Battery One lime kilns.
Picnic Area & Pool
The playground and barbecue area is a great place for families to let those kids burn off some energy. Located directly on the waterfront and close to the pool, the play structure offers slides, swings, and a climbing apparatus, all next to an expansive grassy lawn. Let the kids stroll the tidelands and explore what the sea washes up while you use the park-style barbecue for a family lunch.
Our seasonal outdoor, heated (86 degrees) pool is open May 4 through September 30, 2018. The amenity is complimentary for all resort guests, and towels and locker room access included. Adult lap swim 9am; Public 10am -6pm
Off-Leash Dog Park
We know dogs are the furriest of family members, and if you decide to bring them on the vacation we've got a spot just for them. Whether you want to socialize with other "vacationers" or just let them burn off some energy before going to bed, our off-leash dog park is the perfect spot to relax while they run around. Split into small- and large-dog areas, it's sure to be a hit with Fluffy. We also have "Fido Stations" throught the resort to help ensure a healthy environment for all.

Amber Portwood is ready to introduce her boyfriend to the small screen.
On Monday night's all-new Teen Mom OG, viewers were able to meet Andrew Glennon for the first time as he gushed about his leading lady.
"The first day of filming [Marriage Boot Camp], I was in the interview room with her and that's when I think I learned the most," he confessed to MTV producers. "From that point on, I'd try and place myself in the house where you were to hear more because I wanted to know even more."
When Andrew revealed he didn't have any kids, Amber was even more thrilled. "It's been nice, man. It's been nice just having him here to like distract me from the bulls--t," she explained. "I was in, like, a bad depression mode there for awhile until he came. I needed a big distraction though."
Amber previously appeared on Marriage Boot Camp with ex Matt Baier. After they broke up, Amber and Andrew (who was a member of production) decided to turn their work friendship into something more.

Steve Peters
The older I get, the more I find myself appreciating foods I once detested. Most recently, it was radishes. I once considered radishes a bitter and boring nuisance; an unwelcome addition to salads that I'd either pick out or leave to drown in the pool of salad dressing that accumulated at the bottom of my bowl.
It turns out that radishes can do more than just ruin a salad. At times they can even improve a salad. As with anything else, it's a matter of learning how to make them shine.
I first started thinking differently about radishes a couple of years ago when I roasted them for the first time. That's right, I cooked radishes. It was a concept that had never crossed my mind until then. I had thought they were just used raw for garnishing. But cooking, especially roasting, brought out a hint of sweetness and depth I always thought radishes were lacking. I was intrigued.
Then I grew radishes in my garden. The difference between fresh radishes and the limp, flavorless ones in grocery stores is crazy. They're definitely the kind of vegetable that is best eaten as soon as possible after picking. You never know how fresh anything is in the grocery store, no matter what they try to convince you. When I worked in the produce department of a store back in Connecticut, we'd take a variety of tactics to revive old produce and trim or repack foods to keep them looking good for longer. Trust me, I'm not proud.
So if you can, grow your own. Just get a pack of seeds and plant some in a small patch of dirt, or even a medium-sized pot or planter. They don't take up much room, aren't very needy, and the common variety takes only about a month until they're ready to eat. Keep them well watered and thin them as they grow. If you already have a garden, there's no reason not to grow them. Even if you can't be convinced to eat them, radishes are said to help improve the nutrients in the soil as they grow.
If you can't be bothered to grow radishes, check the farmers market. They're a cool-weather vegetable, and now is the time to find them, before it gets too hot to grow them again until the fall. You'll also find several kinds of radishes when fall approaches, such as the surprisingly vibrant watermelon, the large daikon, and the mysterious black radish.
However you acquire your radishes, you want to keep them crisp. No one likes a soft radish. Trim off the roots and greens before storing. The greens, if young, can be added into salads, while older, larger greens can be sautéed in oil with garlic. You can put the radishes themselves in a jar of water in the fridge. The water will keep them from drying out. Or you can place the radishes in a plastic bag lined with moist paper towels. But like I said, the sooner you can eat them the better.
While I may be coming around to the idea of radishes, you still won't find me snacking on them right out of the garden any time soon. Cooking radishes doesn't take long no matter what method you use. Grilling, braising, roasting and sautéing can all work.
To roast, halve the radishes depending on their size, toss with a little oil and salt, and roast at 450 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. To grill, it's the same thing, but depending on how hot your grill gets — mine always gets hotter than necessary — it may take only 10 minutes. Use a grill basket to keep the radishes contained, and shake them around every few minutes. When sautéing, I like to slice them rather thin and cook in butter over medium heat for just about three minutes, or until they start to turn golden.
One of the best friends of the radish is butter. I've read that people even eat them raw with cold butter. Weird. But I get it. Butter helps mellow the often strong bite that radishes can possess. I'd just rather cook them with butter, as the process of cooking also helps tame the flavor.
Once you've cooked radishes, how do you make them more than just a snack? They're not big enough to serve as a side dish on their own. Raw radishes are fine in salads, pickled or chopped and thrown into tacos. While cooked ones can be incorporated into other dishes, such as rice, added into omelets, paired with other root vegetables and added to soups.
In this simple side dish, I mixed sautéed radishes into wild rice with herbs, feta and almonds. I used enough to make them a prominent component of the dish and not an annoying addition I'd try to pick out.
Wild rice with sautéed radishes
1 ½ cups wild rice
A small bunch of radishes, about 6
2 tablespoons butter
kosher salt
¼ cup almonds
2 ounces feta cheese
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and allow the water to gently simmer. Cover and cook for about 45 minutes or longer, until the rice is tender.
When the rice is nearly done, thinly slice the radishes. Melt the butter in a small pan then add the radishes along with a 1/8 teaspoon of kosher salt. Sauté over medium-high heat for about three minutes or until the radishes just start to turn golden. Turn off the heat and keep the radishes in the melted butter, as you'll want to mix both into the rice.
Roughly chop the almonds and feta. Combine the cooked rice with the sautéed and buttered radishes, almonds, feta, vinegar and herbs. Toss to combine and serve warm, seasoned with additional salt and some freshly ground black pepper to taste.

MW Solicitors
I am solicitor who specialises in new build and residential conveyancing. My core aim is to assist purchasers and sellers with navigating this complex area of the law and making the process as straight forward as possible.
I deal with all aspects of conveyancing including:
It is of utmost importance to me to be professional, approachable and confident at all times when dealing with clients and third parties. I endeavour to always go above and beyond to achieve success in every matter.
I commenced my training in the new build department 2015. I also started my training contract in the new build department then moving to our Personal Injury department. The last part of my training was spent within the Firm's residential property department and I chose to settle down and qualify into conveyancing.
MW is a progressive Company, full of exciting opportunities. It has an eagerness to inspire its newly qualified solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and young people to excel in all areas of practice, making it an incredibly exciting environment to work in and I am proud to be part of its growth programme.
A personal achievement during my time at a MW so far has been taking part in MW Advocacy Competition. In September 2017 I was a finalist in this and had the privilege of representing the Crown in a mock murder trial at the Royal Courts of Justice.

The Other Man
90 Minutes // USA-UK // Rainmark Films
dir. Richard Eyre
Monday, September 8th, 2008. Ryerson Theater.
Second Screening @ the 33rd Annual Toronto International Film Festival
Gala Presentation.
starring: Liam Neeson, Antonio Bandaras & Romola Garai
The latest effort from acclaimed director-writer Richard Eyre is a severely flawed one. Known for his most notable work in the Academy Award winning film Iris and the recently Academy Award nominated Notes on a Scandal, Richard Eyre is seen as a trite intellectual behind the camera; using many of the same techniques repetitively, but giving the film an intelligent sensation with his unique (and very recognizable) vision. Rather than bringing in an Oscar winning cinematography like in his last film, Eyre brought in stark and sleek stylings of Haris Zambarloukos. Eyre's directorial methods worked perfectly with Zambarloukos' feel for the camera – this being one of the few redeeming qualities of this film. When Eyre messed up, Zambarloukos shined. He had the perfect vibe for every scene. Still, it didn't help the film from being a mess, and while Eyre did contribute heavily to this film being a success in one area, he also contributed in making The Other Man another bomb. While Richard Eyre tries to bring out the pretension in all his works, this film would just not have it. The story wasn't a complex story until Eyre decided to mingle with it so much that the genre became unrecognizable. If Richard Eyre didn't allow his 'creativity' to flood the film, it would've worked perfectly as a quiet thriller. Needless to say it wasn't. He threw in ounces of romance, pounds of humor & dashes of suspense – these elements mixed were a catastrophe waiting to happen… and the catastrophe did occur.
In addition to directing the film, Richard Eyre also penned the film. Based on the short story written by German Bernhard Schlink (also the source of the Kate Winslet/Ralph Fiennes picture, The Reader – due in December 2008), this convolted tale of betrayal and revenge has made its way to the big screen. The original direction Schlink took with the story was one of realism, with decepit and manipulation, and while Eyre does incorperate deceipt and manipulation into the text, he confuses the audience member far too much for it to be memorable for the right reason. This, with a 'twist' ending, makes for a really bizarre tale that is fleshed out incorrectly. Poorly written, too. The dialogue was ridiculous, the plotting was unreasonable and the conclusion is laughable. However, despite all the flaws the film has (more than I can count with all the bones in my body) I enjoyed the film. Knowing Eyre's intention wasn't to bemuse the audience (he said so pre-film) I can't give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, but I will give him a thumbs up for entertaining me, even if it was for all the wrong reasons.
The story is simple, but the writing is complex. Harry (Liam Neeson) is married to Lisa (Laura Linney). They have a daughter, Abigail who is about to get married (Romola Garai) to Mark (Laurence Richardson). Harry and Lisa are a rich couple – Harry works at an upper class business, while his wife is in the shoe designer business. They're happy or so it seems. Lisa vanishes one morning, Harry and Abigail are in tears because they don't know where they're love has gone. Upon looking through Lisa's things, Harry comes across her cell phone – a man named Rolf (Antonio Bandaras) has called and texted her many times. Harry believes Rolf is Lisa's lover, so he goes to Lake Como, Italy (where Lisa used to go on travel) to seek out this Rolf. With a murderous and spiteful mindset, Harry goes off to kill Rolf. His daughter pleads with him to stop, but Harry is going all out. A perfectly compelling story and something many would enjoy unless someone truly dismantled the story. That could never happen, right?
While the characters are poorly developed and are put in unrealistic circumstances, the cast does a fine job in keeping the audience in their seat. Unfortunately, none of the actors could hold a proper accent. Liam Neeson had a weird Gaelic accent going on that fluxuated with a British one and to an American one – very bizarre. His emotions were excellent, but his voice was just terrible. Romola Garai (who is British herself) tried a different accent (even though she didn't have to) which went wrong because her natural accent broke through too. She also showed great emotion, but her accent was just bad. Laura Linney only spoke about fifty lines in the entire film. Her accent was solid because you barely heard it – also: what a waste of a wonderful actress. The only good performance (albeit, it was an excellent performance) in the film was by Antonio Bandaras, which ironically was the only reason I wasn't excited to see the movie. Bandaras played a swave and noetic individual, a lot like Zorro in that sense. Try Zorro with an exceeding vulnerablitiy for emotional dystrophy. A wonderful performance. Along with the cinematography, Bandaras is one of the only truly redeeming qualties of the film. **½/****

I just love to watch the boys play. Something about watching a child make-believe is just so refreshing and calming to me. What a joy!
Chase LOVES playing with his guys and he ALWAYS makes them fly. I think Chase would really love to be able to fly. It sounds crazy, but I think he thinks about that ALOT! : )
Eli loves to build guys out of legos/hero factory. He usually builds one that is shooting or fighting or something similar. It used to bother me, but I have finally realized that it is just a "boy thing". I realize that not all boys are into shooting and fighting, but lots are. For many, it's just part of being a boy.
LOVE, LOVE these pictures!!! Just priceless to me

Jessica, Fallen Angel Reviews www.fallenangelreviews.com
Crystal Inman's Perfect Timing is a time travel romance with a charming difference from the others
I've read. Kyle McClain and Rachel Brooks are never sure they can have what they have began to crave and neither is
the reader.
Crystal Inman's world is truly fascinating, but what she did with her character development is more
important. She raised my awareness of me and the people around me, of how special we all are.
That is the gift that Ms Inman's world in Perfect Timing gave me and could give you. There is a skillful
use of humor and dialog that keep the pace quick and entertaining. All together this is a great choice for your next romantic

Welcome to The Future!
MINORITY REPORT is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (as were BLADE RUNNER, SCREAMERS, and TOTAL RECALL), was directed by the truly talented Steven Spielberg (JAWS, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, JURASSIC PARK, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) and stars Tom Cruise (INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, VANILLA SKY) as John Anderton, a Washington D.C. detective in the year 2054. Spielberg reportedly consulted many experts in a variety of fields in order to portray a realistic future. We'll see.
John isn't just any detective he's in charge of the pre-crime division. Mental images from three genetically engineered precogs (precognitives) downloaded to police computers allow these lawmen to solve murders before they happen. The act of murder disrupts the space-time continuum in a unique way and the three psychic precogs, who spend all their time floating in a vat of milky fluid, can provide enough detail before the event happens to allow the police to show up and arrest you before you kill anyone.
The movie raises a very cool moral quandary here that will generate many late night discussions. Is it ethical to arrest and prosecute someone for something they haven't done yet?
The squad flies into action as the precogs see a jealous husband (Arye Gross: HOUSE II) walk in on his wife and her lover. A "heat of passion" murder like this is much more difficult to see than a premeditated murder so John and his officers have to react fast to get there in time.
The pre-crime division has been so successful (there hasn't been a murder in D.C. for six years) that Congress is about to vote on a proposal to take the program nationwide. Congressional scrutiny shows up in the form of Ed Witwer (Colin Farrell: DAREDEVIL), a Fed clearly after John's job.
John's boss, Director Burgess (Max von Sydow: THE EXORCIST, FLASH GORDON), seems certain that everything will be fine. He has great faith in John, because he knows John is motivated by the murder of his son, an event that destroyed John's marriage to his ex-wife Lara (Kathryn Morris: SLEEPSTALKER). John is driven and dedicated, but he's more than that. We quickly learn that he has a host of flaws that makes him human and that put his career in jeopardy.
That's piddly compared to his real problem. The next day John goes in to work only to discover the precogs have detected a new murder, and John is the murderer. He sees the images of himself killing a man he doesn't know. What the hell is going on? Wally (Daniel London), the precog caretaker, is the only other witness to this vision. He tells John, "You've always been good to me, boss. I'll wait two minutes before I hit the alarm."
Let me end the suspense by saying that yes, I agree with every critic in the country. This is a great movie, maybe Spielberg's best ever. The effects rock, the performances are top notch and there is a roster of memorable characters: Wally the caretaker is at first loving but then creepy as he cares for Agatha (Samantha Morton), the female precog. Dr. Solomon (Peter Stormare: THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK, 8MM) is the terrifyingly casual black market surgeon and provider of untraceable eyes. And my favorite is Dr. Iris Hineman (Lois Smith), the genetic engineer who created the precogs in the first place. John learns the hard way that showing up uninvited in the garden of a slightly wacky genetic engineer can be dangerous.
Wow, all this sci-fi has left me hungry for a
Gah! Leave me alone!
The glaring science error involves Greideon (Tim Blake Nelson), the prison warden. He's in a wheelchair. Mr. Spielberg's experts clearly didn't include any neurologists, because 50 years from now the only place you'll find a wheelchair is in a museum. We are so close to being able to regrow damaged nerve tissue that it's not even worth talking about.
FeoNote: Moreover, the movie shows that we have the ability to grow nerve tissue so easily that the procedure is practically outpatient, as when a character orders home-based surgery to have both of their entire eyeballs replaced by "donor" eyes.
That stalk connecting eyes to brain is a nerve stalk. So what's the problem with legs?
Finally, before Mr. Spielberg's head grows too large (ha!), I must point out a couple of flaws. First, several plot points depend on John gaining access to restricted areas by using his police clearance. One would think that the moment he became a wanted criminal all those clearances would be revoked.
Second, there's a very disturbing aspect of the precogs that isn't discussed in the movie at all, but that certainly should have been. The three psychics look peaceful, floating in their tank, but we find out that in fact they're constantly tormented by the brutal visions they experience. They only look peaceful because of all the drugs in their systems.
Much worse, we find out that they aren't there voluntarily. The precogs are, in fact, slaves. Whatever good comes from using them is tainted by that basic evil (just like the clones are slaves used and sent to their deaths by the "good guys" in George Lucas' latest Star Wars: The Clone Wars -Feo).
It's a good movie, but glossing over slavery has gotta cost you at least one shriek girl. I give MINORITY REPORT a four.

How It Works
SPU Recycle provides recycle and compost collection infrastructure and service to every building on campus.
For most buildings, this means that each individual space (whether an empoyee workstation or residence hall room) is provided with a recycle bin that can be emptied into a central collection bin serviced by student employees. Compost bins are located in central areas where food is prepared or consumed (i.e. break rooms, floor lounges, etc.).
Our program is continually working to increase the percentage of waste SPU diverts from the landfill though infrastructure improvements and education.
Where Does It Go?
The following provides a brief summary of where common items should be sorted. All recyclable items (paper, plastic, metal, and glass) can be deposited in any recycle container on campus--no sorting necessary.
To determine if additional items are recyclable or can be composted, use Seattle Public Utilities' "Look It Up" feature. Our compost hauler, Cedar Grove, also has a list of approved compostable packaging.
Departmental Efforts
Various departments have worked to integrate waste diversion principles into their operations. Here are some examples:
- Composting: Food waste is collected for composting at all food service locations on campus. The University's Grounds crew collects yard waste for composting as part of their operations.
- Auto Shop: Oil, oil filters, antifreeze, and vehicle batteries from the University's motor pool are recycled or turned in for refinement/recharging and reuse.
- Building Maintenance: University-owned appliances are turned in for recycling or reuse, while metals (iron, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) are collected to be refined and turned back into raw form for resale.
- Computer Equipment: University-owned computers are donated or recycled at the end of their life cycle.
- Construction: The University makes a concerted effort to recycle construction and demolition waste as well as everyday materials. For example, construction of the Cremona Classroom Building, completed in 2011, achieved a 93% landfill diversion rate.
For information on how to recycle additional miscellaneous items, such as printers or non-University owned furniture, please refer to the Solutions section of this site.

The federal government estimates 45.7 million Americans, including 9.2 million children (Source: State Health Access Data Assistance Center, 2007), lack health coverage of any for kind for an entire year. Nearly one in five working adults is uninsured.
For the ninth consecutive year, the Greater Kansas City Cover the Uninsured Coalition in conjunction with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is working to keep this issue in the public eye. The coalitionís goals include:
• Educating the Kansas City community about the problem of the uninsured. In Missouri, more than 15.8 percent (744,027) of the population do not have health insurance. 145,150 of those uninsured are children. In Kansas, 16.6 percent (335,413) are without health insurance. 57,511 of those uninsured are children (Source: State Health Access Data Assistance Center, 2007).
• Providing access to existing insurance programs
• Connecting the uninsured to available health-related services
• Developing sustainable partnerships that can continue to work toward coverage of the uninsured
During the past seven years, the coalition has organized health fairs, presented health coverage seminars for small business, created a health resource directory (available at www.kchealthresource.org) and distributed it during a phonathon on KSHB-TV, helped provide free eyeglasses to Kansas City schoolchildren and launched awareness campaigns through churches, schools and the media.
This year's phonathon is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on KSHB-TV and the health fair located at UMKC Health Sciences Hospital Hill Campus (2464 Charlotte) takes place on Saturday, April 9 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will provide immunizations, cholesterol screening, blood pressure, osteoporosis screening, diabetes foot exam, blood glucose screening, vision and hearing screening, dental screening, skin cancer screening, full physical exam for those under 18 years of age and much more.
Members of the Greater Kansas City Cover the Uninsured Coalition include Advocates for Family Health Project of Legal Aid of Western Missouri, Ascension Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carondelet Home Care Services, Carondelet Manor, Kansas City Health Department, Kansas City Wellness Network, Providence Medical Center, Regional Health Care Initiative-MARC, St. Maryís Medical Center, St. Mary's Manor, Saint John Hospital, St. Joseph Medical Center, Saint Vincent Clinic, The Salvation Army, Seton Center, Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System, Unicare Health Plan of Kansas, UMKC School of Pharmacy, West Central Missouri Area Health Education Center and Villa Saint Joseph.

ISO 9001 is a customer service-oriented, quality management standard first adopted in 2000 by the international organization for standardization (ISO). According to the standard, organizations must demonstrate the ability to meet or exceed customer satisfaction in terms of product function, quality and performance. Likewise, compliant organizations must also maintain strict adherence to regulatory requirements, industry standards, and best practices regarding production processes and outcomes. In short, ISO 9001 standards ensure that organizations offer quality products while simultaneously encouraging and acting on feedback from customers, end-users, and regulatory agencies.
International consensus was used to help determine standards universally applicable to all organizations regarding products and services that meet both customer and regulatory requirements. Conformity to regulatory requirements and customer expectations, however, are not enough to meet ISO 9001 standards. Organizations must also establish systems for and actively participate in continuous improvement initiatives. Self audits, voluntary client audits, and independent third party certification bodies are encouraged to help organizations with efforts for continuous improvement.
The ISO 9001 standard and its requirements are intended to apply to all organizations, regardless of size or industry. As such, the ISO does not dictate how an organization must meet requirements, only that guideline requirements are met. Generic standards provided under such conditions allow each organization to determine its own unique processes and controls to maintain compliance. Certain clauses within the text of the standard outline criteria by which an organization may qualify for exclusion in the rare event of an inapplicable requirement. Excluded standards cannot affect the organization's responsibility to ensure quality production, lest claims of conformity be subject to refusal for ISO 9001 certification.
Among the ISO 9000 family of standards, ISO 9001, as revised in 2008 and supplemented in 2009, is the only standard for which organizations can seek certification. Certification is not a requirement of compliance, but certification serves to reassure customers that the organization is indeed in compliance. When applied to business to business environments, an ISO 9001 certification helps instill confidence, especially in situations involving new business relationships or joint ventures.
For example, a manufacturing plant in the United States may struggle to perform due diligence on an overseas supplier due to geography. Knowing the organization is compliant with ISO 9001 standards can help allay concerns. Documentation that the supplier not only states compliance but has passed the rigors of certification further instill confidence in the new business to business relationship. All things being equal, ISO certification could, in fact, sway a contract or business relationship decision, especially for organizations with limited resources to conduct due diligence.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

40 Prayers for 40 Days Day 35
Monday—Holy Week
John 12:23-28
Should I Pray…
Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!"
This is it! The final seconds are ticking by, the basketball comes your way. The game is on the line! What will you do? Hit the pause button? Duck for cover and let the ball fly out of bounds? Catch it and pass it to another player, hoping the game clock doesn't expire? What will you do, when the game is on the line, and you have the ball in your hands? Close your eyes, throw the ball up in the air and hope for the best? Or, will you turn to the basket and think of all those other shots you have taken on the playground and at practice, while your friends counted down the seconds? You square up to the rim, say a prayer, and fire up the "winning shot"!
It is clutch time for Jesus. The final moments of his life are ticking by. The Cross is looming on the horizon. Rejection by the crowd, the people he came to save, is the reality of the day! What will he do? Will he run and hide? Does he take the easy way out and escape to live another day? What will he do?
We know the answer. It is what we need to do, when our life and witness is on the line. He PRAYS! "Father, GLORIFY YOUR NAME!" He prays the prayer of ultimate commitment. We are here for a reason: to bear witness to the Father's love! This is our moment to pray: "FATHER, GLORIFY YOUR NAME!"

There are plenty of old wives tales around especially when it comes to beauty. We did the research and found five home-made beauty remedies, for five common skin and hair woes, that work. Acne Remedy: Asprin Why it works: Salicylic acid, a key ingredient in acne fighting products is a prime ingredient in Asprin. For an emergency fix, make a paste with a crushed tablet and water and apply on a pimple to heal it, and reduce redness almost immediately. Dull Hair Remedy: Yogurt Why it works: Ridged cuticles on your hair cause hair to look unruly and dull. A change in pH helps condition and smooth out the rough bits. Sour yogurt is high in acidic pH and works better. The protein in yogurt helps fill in the ridges, allowing hair to reflect light better and look shinier.
Weak Nails Remedy: Vitamin E Capsules Why it works: Massaging your nails with vitamin E, helps seal in the hydration and protects your nail from damage. Dry nails are more prone to breaking so a regular oil massage keeps them healthy.
Puffy Eyes Remedy: Cold Milk Why it works: Accumulation of lymphatic fluid around the eyes causes the look of puffy, red eyes. Cotton pads soaked in cold milk, work as a cold compress to help drain the excess fluid. The natural fats in milk additionally hydrate the area and calm the skin, hence reducing the redness. Wrinkles Remedy: Egg whites
Why it works: The albumin in egg causes tightening of skin when egg whites are whipped and applied as a face mask. However this is not a permanent solution as the tightness is temporary and works best as a additional measure to counteract wrinkles and not a primary one. A good anti-aging regime is far more effective.

The Republic of Malawi is a country located in Southeastern Africa. Formerly called Nyasaland, Malawi is bordered by Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. The country is one of Southeastern Africa's most densely populated areas. Its capital, Lilongwe, is home to more than 400,000 people. However, Lilongwe is not the most densely populated city in Malawi, as Blantyre is home to more than 600,000 people.
Malawi hosts the third-largest lake in all of Africa, called Lake Malawi or Lake Nyasa. In fact, this lake ranks number 10 in size throughout the entire world. It accounts for approximately 1/5 of Malawi's area. The country is also known for the Great Rift Valley, which spans vertically through its territory. It is within this deep pocket that Lake Malawi runs.
Subtropical weather marks the country's climate. It has a definite rainy season that extends from November through April. However, from May through October, the country sees very little to no rain. October through April is hot and humid, particularly along the lake, in Lilongwe, and within the Lower Shire Valley. Other parts of the country see warm temperatures, but less heat and humidity, from October through April.
June through August brings warm temperatures to the area surrounding the lake and the far southern portion of the country. The rest of the country, however, sees rather chilly temperatures in the evenings and into the night. During this time, temperatures range from 41 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to –14 degrees Celsius). As far as the outdoors is concerned, Malawi has its own system of parks. It has five national parks in all.
Malawi's population is largely impoverished, a problem that has a catastrophic effect on life expectancy. Sadly, the average life expectancy of a native Malawian is just 36.5 years. This is due, in part, to the lack of proper nutrition, poor access to medical treatment, and low average income of the country's citizens. Some people believe the low life expectancy can also be attributed to the misuse of donations coming from other countries. Also, it is impossible to overlook the spread of HIV/AIDS as one of the causes of the lower life expectancy.
The situation for children is just as dismal. Malawi's child mortality rate is about 103 per every 1,000 children. As of 2003, there were more than a million orphans in the country. Many of these children lost their parents to AIDS. Besides disease, the country's children and adults alike cannot help but be affected by the famines that have repeatedly bled the country.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Put a Screen Lock on Your Galaxy S 4
The most basic effort you can take to protect your Galaxy S 4 is to put some kind of a screen lock on your phone. If you are connected to a corporate network, they may have a policy on what you must do if you are to access your corporate network. Otherwise, you have eight choices in increasing degrees of security:
Unlock with a simple swipe across the screen
Unlock with your face
Unlock with your face and your voice
Unlock with a pattern that you swipe on the screen
Unlock with a PIN
Unlock with a password
Encrypt everything on your phone and unlock with a PIN
The first seven options are selected in the Lock Screen option in Setting. The Encrypt everything on your phone has some serious implications, so be sure to look into that option in detail.
If you want to choose one of the first seven options, here's what you do:
From the Apps Screen, tap the Settings icon.
This should be old hat by now.
Go to the My Device tab.
Scroll down and tap the Lock Screen option.
Tap Screen Lock.
This brings up the options seen in the figure.
Each option prompts you through what it needs before establishing your security selection.
For reasons that sort of make sense, your phone uses some terminology that can be confusing. To clarify, the term Screen Lock is an option you can select to prevent unauthorized users from getting into your phone. The term Lock Screen is short for the action of locking your screen or enabling the Screen Lock option.

Mission Statement
A Global Vision
Although there are 370 million indigenous peoples in 70 countries
they are only 4 percent of the world's population, but they represent 95 percent
of the planet's cultural diversity. The earth's more than 5,000 indigenous
groups are scattered from the rainforests of the Amazon to the deserts of India and
from the Arctic polar ice to the vast outback of Australia, and they speak some 6,000
different languages. But here comes the awful news: within the next century, 90 percent
or more of that linguistic diversity -- all but 250 to 600 languages -- will probably
disappear. In one way it is a trend that may facilitate communications between different
However, it also threatens to erase forever aspects of the cultural identity
of the tribes or ethnic groups affected. Language not only assigns names to objects
and abstractions, it also reveals the importance a particular culture places on kinship
and other relationships between individuals.
To keep these languages alive has therefore
become a pivotal interest in Angel Conservation's work. So, with our "first
friends" the Pemón, we made our initial baby steps in what we hope will
become a global effort in sharing lessons learned through our successes in Canaima with
many other cultures worldwide that face the same threats.
Angel Conservation's
board is an eclectic group of well traveled internationals from many different walks
of life but all have at least two things in common: the deep love for native cultures
and the fierce determination to help keep them alive.

- ""I'm Badili. The big, friendly leopard.""
- ―Badili introducing himself
Badili is a leopard who appears in the The Lion Guard episode, "The Trouble With Galagos".
Baili is a nice and friendly leopard, but he is also very cowardly and doesn't have the confidence to stand up for himself. The Lion Guard teaches him to be brave and not to let others push him around.
Badili is a pale cream-colored leopard dappled with brown rosettes outlined in black. He has a small tuft of brown hair on his head. His ears are pointed, with dusty brown inner ears rimmed in darker brown. He has thick, dark eyebrows and almond-shaped brown eyes. His nose is dull taupe-brown, and his claws are dark gray.
- Skilled Combatant: After being trained by the Lion Guard; it can be assumed that Badili has become a capable combatant.
- Animal Strength: Like all leopards, Badili is very strong. Beshte helped him build up his strength.
- Animal Speed: Badili has enough speed to almost keep up with Fuli. She helped him build up his speed.
- Animal Agility: Like all leopards; Badili is very agile.
- Animal Leaping: Like all leopards; Badili can jump the highest of all big cats.
- Animal Stamina: Like all leopards; Badili's stamina is very high.
- Climber: Like all leopards; Badili has very good climbing skills.
Role in the Series
The Trouble With Galagos
The galagos tell the Lion Guard that a leopard has moved into their tree and they head to the galagos' tree, where Badili first appears sleeping in the branches. When the Lion Guard confront Badili, he tries to growl at them, But his courage instantly fails him and he cowers begging the team not to hurt him. He says he thought they were baboons because he dreamed about them chasing him. Ono asks him if he's the big, scary leopard, but Badili says no and introduces himself saying a he's big friendly leopard.
When urged by the Lion Guard to return to his home in Mirihi Forest, Badili reluctantly does but is confronted and intimidated by a larger leopard named Mapigano, who had driven Badili out of Mirihi Forest. Angered by Mapigano's attitude, The Lion Guard come to Badili's aid and force Mapigano to leave.
The next day, the Lion Guard find Badili back in the Pride Lands and learn that Mapigano has driven him out again. Kion realises that it must be Badili himself who must get rid of Mapigano for good. The Lion Guard train Badili in how to be brave and confident.
When deemed ready, Badili returns to Mirihi Forest and confronts Mapigano, who at first laughs at Badili's attempts of bravery and attacks him. Badili eventually plucks up courage and roars at Mapigano, causing the latter to flee Mirihi Forest for good. The Lion Guard congratulate Badili on his victory to which he thanks them for their help.

Beer Review - Tropigamma
As soon as I heard about this beer, I knew I was going to love it.
Tropigamma by Beavertown is a 7% ABV Tropical IPA. Produced as an ode to their classic American Pale, Gamma Ray - Tropigamma is brewed with what Beavertown describe as bucket loads of fruit; lactose, pineapple, mandarin, papaya, passion fruit, guava, mango and lime juice. This may sound a bit of a strange combination to some people - but if you have never tried a beer by Beavertown before, then you are going to be in for a surprise. I was lucky enough to pick up a few cans from Westhill Service Station
Upon cracking open the can and pouring into a glass, aside from the fruity aromas, the first thing that you notice is the colour - You are greeted with a thick, dark, pulp like substance that oozes fruit. The juicy tropical fruit flavours in this beer are explosive, and unlike any beer I've ever tasted before. The such bold fruitiness of the beer could almost leave you thinking that it is an alcoholic fruit juice. But that's where the bitter hops come in, combined with the addition of oats to remind you that this is infact one helluva beer first, and fruit juice second! The result is a masterpiece by Beavertown - these guys don't do half measures.
Again, the folks at Beavertown have produced another freaking awesome looking can to go with the rest. I really wish they would start printing their designs on tees. Although, it's maybe better they don't...as I'd want to buy them all!
Tropigamma continues Beavertown's stellar reputation for making incredible beers. They are the masters.
I love Tropigamma so much, it may just rival Bloody Notorious for the crown of my favourite beer. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on some, be sure to check it out while you can 🍻

Cheryl Bormann is representing Walid bin Attash in the 9/11 plotters trial at Gitmo. She is wearing the hijab at the insistence of her client, and she wants the court to require all women in court to wear it as well.
"She (Bormann) further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."
So, a lawyer, an American lawyer wants the American court system to legally order non-Muslim women to cover up because to do otherwise would offend Muslim males. In an American court, during a trial under American jurisprudence we have a lawyer usurping American law and instead pandering to the worst kind of discrimination against her own kind; the American people. Is there no punishment strong enough to wipe clean the pompous and arrogant fumes emanating from every anti-freedom orifice and pore. Bormann is a disgrace to the legal system, her country of origin and her oath as a lawyer and needs a quick trip into the cornfield.
Putting Muslim sensibilities ahead of American ethics and values makes her a traitor in my eye.
From FoxNews May 6
Attorney in hijab defends call for other women at 9/11 hearing to wear 'appropriate' clothing
The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs.
Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash, attended the arraignment Saturday dressed in a hijab, apparently because her client insisted on it. She further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."
What about the faith of the majority of the American people, do they not count in this? It is a sin for the defendants to use the system as they are determined to do, and because of this disregard, faith in the system is being tested. Does that not count for anything?
At a press conference Sunday at Guantanamo Bay, Bormann said she dresses in a hijab at "all times" when she meets with her client "out of respect" for his beliefs. Asked why she requested other women do the same, Bormann said, "When you're on trial for your life, you need to be focused."
A tacit approval of the demeaning way women are treated in Islam. It strongly implies that Bormann knows that Muslim men are not in control of their little head, and must be shielded from any wanton and lustful impulses, which women provoke in men just by existing.
Bormann, who is not Muslim, claimed the issue came up several years ago, when a paralegal wore "very short skirts" and it became a distraction for the defendants. She said that on Saturday, "somebody" was also dressed "in a way that was not in keeping with my client's religious beliefs."
"If because of someone's religious beliefs, they can't focus when somebody in the courtroom is dressed in a particular way, I feel it is incumbent upon myself as a counsel to point that out and ask for some consideration from the prosecution," she said. "Suffice to say it was distracting to members of the accused."
No. You tell your client that in an American court you accept the rules of conduct, and that means dealing with any personal beliefs in your own mind. If they can't focus that is not the fault of the court, it is the fault of the client and their belief that Islam is superior to everything else.

Carbon talks fuel conservative outcry
Nobody expects the idea to be enacted anytime soon, but some liberal and conservative thinkers are having a quiet, informal dialogue about imposing a tax on industrial carbon emissions.
The result: a burst of loud criticism from the right.
Story Continued Below
Supporters of the idea say the spotlight being shown on the conversations is overblown and based on unwarranted scare tactics from critics.
"The problem is even something as innocuous and no-big-deal as this should be, you're going to get certain people in this town who are going to seize it as something that it's not," said David Jenkins, vice president of government affairs for the Republican-leaning group ConservAmerica.
Last week's hubbub arose from a private gathering Wednesday hosted by the American Enterprise Institute. The agenda lists officials representing organizations including Public Citizen, Taxpayers for Common Sense, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Brookings Institution and Resources for the Future.
A loose collective has been discussing the idea of a carbon tax off and on since 2010, after prospects for Congress to approve a cap-and-trade plan died and EPA was set to move forward with climate change regulations instead.
Wednesday's session was "a very casual, informal meeting," Jenkins said. "It seems to be portrayed as some sort of strategy session. It was nothing like that. It's all so preliminary and hypothetical and just basically brainstorming."
The roughly five-hour gathering — which included lunch — was split between sessions providing an "update on posture of key constituencies" and "framing and selling a carbon pollution tax."
Former Democratic Rep. Tom Downey — who last served in Congress in 1993 and is now husband to former White House climate chief Carol Browner — was there to talk about "building bipartisan support and navigating [the House] Ways & Means" panel, according to the agenda.
Kevin Curtis, a senior official with Al Gore's climate campaign, was slated to give "initial thoughts on a post-election public opinion and education campaign."
Jenkins — whose group was known until this spring as Republicans for Environmental Protection — and AEI's Kevin Hassett were among those providing the pulse of congressional Republicans, Mitt Romney and business leaders. Rob Shapiro, former Clinton administration Commerce undersecretary, was expected to discuss the view of economists and deficit hawks.
Jenkins and others who attended the meeting said they agreed it was off the record and declined to publicly elaborate on the discussion.
"In meetings like this, there's such a diversity of opinion," he offered. "They probably couldn't agree on which side of the street to stand on. I hope that's the case on just about any issue."
But conservative carbon tax critics did a pre-emptive strike — leaking the agenda to select reporters hours before the start of the Wednesday gathering and later posting it on public blogs.
One of those blog posts — written by Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow Marlo Lewis — noted, "In general, when left and right join forces, the appropriate question is: Who is duping whom?" He denounced the gathering as an "AEI-hosted carbon tax cabal."

I propose that we create a Scout: Explorer Of The Year Award.
I propose the following:
Entries should adhere to the following two Explorer Badge requirements:
1. Plan, conduct and evaluate three expeditions of increasing challenge.
2. Explain risk management for these trips, including safety precautions necessary.
The first requirement serves to inspire and the second serves to educate.
The rest of the requirements are unique to this award.
Scout Troops are eligible to submit their electronic package(s) (including text, photographs and/or videos) outlining three expeditions undertaken by their Troop within one scouting year (e.g., September 1, 2012 - August 31, 2013).
Entries must be submitted by October 15 of the Scout year immediately following the year in which the expeditions were conducted (i.e., 45 days after year end) and the award will be judged promptly and the winners announced on November 30 of the same year (i.e., 90 days after year end). The mechanics of submitting entries and judging and voting will be determined later.
For this award, the three expeditions must be related to each other. Each must build off of its predecessor. For example: the first can be a training exercise to expose new Scouts to the activity (e.g., the first backpacking trip or the first winter camp or the first canoe trip, etc.). The second expedition can be an extended journey pushing the limits of the endeavour allowing the Troop to become further conditioned and experienced at the activity and the tools used in the activity. The third expedition should be the fulfillment of the purpose of the endeavour (e.g., summiting a peak, reaching the headwater or mouth of a river, circumnavigating a geologic land or water feature, etc.)
Expeditions must be lightweight, self-propelled journeys in a wilderness setting of at least 5 kms. The first must be a minimum of one night, the second must be a minimum of two nights and the third must be a minimum of three nights.
Each of the three expeditions must be of progressively increasing challenge as a consequence of: distance, elevation, terrain, season or technical difficulty (or any other factor that might contribute to each successive expedition being somehow more challenging in addition to the increase of nights required).
While the participants in each expedition do not have to be the same, consistency in team participation should be a factor in the judging of the award.
Keep in mind also, the definition of the word "expedition":
The three expeditions must share a common purpose and each must bring the members progressively closer to the achievement of that purpose."an excursion, journey, or voyage made for some specific purpose, as of war or exploration."
Submitted for your consideration......
Note: In the badge above, Polaris indicates true north and the compass rose indicates magnetic north.
Expeditions are a place of learning. They are about diving into a place you've never been,
and learning how to experience the world through your surroundings.
Without mystery, there is no adventure.
-- Mike Libecki
