Learn Scrum From Those Who Created and Maintain It
PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER™ (PSM) is a 2-day course that covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master in it.
This course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises, and teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement.
Over the 2 days, students will see why PSM is the cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness.
- ➡ The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioral shifts.
- ➡ Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace.
- ➡ In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team.
- ➡ This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.

Our trainers bring their own style and experience to courses, but all trainers use the same materials around the world so that students are learning from the same content regardless of where the course is taught and who is teaching it.

A McLaren 570S drive experience in northern Finland
This package is no longer available
A winter holiday in northern Finland is magical enough in itself, especially when you'll be staying at Javri Lodge. Combining the best of both old and new Scandinavian design sensibilities, Javri Lodge has played host to a who's who of international dignitaries.
The only way that holiday could be even more magical is if you were driving a McLaren 570S on a specially designed circuit at one of the country's largest winter proving grounds. There, you'll have a chance to push the 570bhp supercar to its limits across two days of driving.
In addition to the thrill of piloting one of the world's finest supercars, the challenging snowy and icy conditions will give you a rare chance to hone your driving skills. The slightest twitch of the wheel, brakes and throttle could see your car careening across the slippery surface.
Good thing, then, that McLaren's professional instructors will be on hand to instruct you on the finer points of ice driving, taking you through progressively more difficult courses and making you look like a driving god in the process.
Great food, naturally, is on the menu, with all meals provided throughout the experience – the highlight of which is a celebratory Finnish feast at Laanilan Kievari.Read More

Video: Aquaponicscomments (0) February 19th, 2010
Video Length: 4:10
Produced by: Rob Torcellini
Aquaponics combines fish farming and hydroponics. I read about it in "The Spotless Garden" in yesterday's New York Times and was intrigued. In this video, Connecticut gardener Rob Torcellini offers a tour of his greenhouse setup that allows him to grow vegetables year round. The yield dwindles considerably in winter (see the Winter Update video on YouTube when you finish watching this one). It's amazing what he's put together with off-the-shelf parts and some computer wizardry.

On our day off, my boyfriend and I watched "The mortal instruments - City of Bones" (really bad!) and "The Wolverine" (at least the action was good, even with a lacking story). I also found some more amazing pictures by Abigail Larson:
My sewing machine rattling on
What did I ask myself?
Sudden burst of motivation or panic that I have "nothing to wear"? ;)
What did I read?
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. All in all it was amazing! I now borrowed "Mirage" by Matt Ruff from my friend Trisha and it is equally confusing and catchy!
What did I work on?
A skirt, a hat and some finishing touches on a vest.
I was happy about...
WGT next week, days off work next week!
I was annoyed about...
Having to work Today. But there was no chance to get a day off!
I bought...
Spray paint, a feather and rubber foam.

I have been hibernating torts successfully for the past 30 years. So I thought I would post the following information for the benefit of tortoise owners everywhere......
Hibernation is an essential part of a Hermanns' life. Because it begins at a cellular level in each individual tortoise you could say it's in a torts bones. They are predisposed both physically and genetically to hibernation.
When a tortoise hibernates it becomes biologically programmed to do so for the rest of its life. That is why it is so difficult to keep a tortoise up at a time when it should be hibernating. It is hard for a tortoise to fight this natural instinct. And so it can be seen that more than just heat and light is involved. Indeed a tortoise's biological clock will tell it when hibernation time comes around each year.
Hibernation is the most natural thing in the world for a Hermanns'. They are cold blooded creatures and are not designed to be active and eating all year round. Hibernation offers them a rest period in which their metabolism slows down and they get a chance to recharge themselves before the season begins again in spring.
Those of us who have studied natural history understand that Hermanns' have evolved as cold blooded creatures over many thousands of years and are designed to hibernate. Any other approach is not only unnatural but wrong.
Moreover, there is a wealth of experience that shows hibernation is in fact beneficial. I have a 50 year old female Hermanns' that I have been hibernating successfully for the past 30 years. She has never had any health problems. I put her constant good health and great longevity down to the fact that she has always been hibernated.
So, if you want your tortoise to live a long, healthy and happy life then I would highly recommend hibernation.
Darran the owner of this website and forum has a very useful guide to hibernation on the homepage. New and experienced owners would do well to read this information and apply it when hibernating their torts.
Best Regards
Hibernation Benefits

This is the last post in our 5-minute meal series from Kelsi Windmiller.
For the last fast recipe of the month I would like to share with you how to make a simple stuffed avocado. Avocados are amazing on their own but here is a quick way to make a meal of one. Start by making an easy corn salsa, and add black beans for protein and hot sauce for spice. Then all you need to do is top your avocado with it!
1 Avocado
1/4c Black Beans
1/4c Raw Corn
1/4c Diced Tomato
Picked Fresh Cilantro
1/2 Lime Juiced
Salt & Hot Sauce To Taste
Combine the black beans, corn, tomato, and cilantro in a small bowl.
Toss with fresh lime juice and salt until evenly coated.
Slice your avocado in half. Remove the pit and discard.
Fill the avocado halves with the black bean mixture and top with your favorite hot sauce.

WSSU Student Learning Outcomes
Winston-Salem State University has seven student learning outcomes: Critical Reading, Critical Thinking, Information Literacy, Oral Communication, Quantitative Literacy, Scientific Literacy, and Written Communication. WSSU's goal is to incorporate and assess the seven student learning outcomes across the curriculum as well as in co-curricular activities. Data for courses and co-curricular activities mapped to a WSSU student learning outcome are submitted through an online survey. Units are also encouraged to report and store additional information in Nuventive Improve (TracDat), the university's assessment management system.
Data Collection for WSSU Student Learning Outcomes
Each semester, instructors who teach courses mapped to an institutional learning outcome are expected to apply the corresponding SLO rubric to a course assignment/artifact/activity. At this time, instructors report course-level rubric data through an online survey. Co-curricular activities mapped to institutional learning outcomes are also invited to submit rubric data through the online survey.
The data collection for fall 2019 is now open. All General Education courses being taught in fall 2019, as well as co-curricular activities that assess student learning outcomes, are required to submit data.
Student Learning Outcomes for Degree Programs

A Few Simple Tips to Paint a Children's Mural with No Experience
I recently had a client contact me for a quote to come and do a mural for her twin's baby nursery. She knew exactly what she wanted - so I gave her a ballpark quote over email without seeing the space. She decided that the project was way over her budget. I made a suggestion to maybe call around to local high schools to see if there might be students in the art departments that could come and do the mural for a cheaper rate.
She wrote me back and thanked me for the advice and said that she was going to try and attempt the mural on her own. She followed with these common questions:
- What type of paint should I use for smaller items in the mural?
- Can I purchase paint from a craft store?
- What brand of paint do you prefer?
- How do you achieve shading in the background areas like sky and landscape?
- What color paint should I use to darken or lighten the existing paint colors?
These are all great questions and when I was responding to her email, I decided that it would be great to share my answers with you as well.
Here is what I wrote:
I use acrylic craft paint for smaller things within a mural and I use latex paint for larger background areas. I don't use any specific brand. You can go with the 2 oz containers of acrylic that you would find in any craft store. Michaels carries them. Be sure to bring your reference pictures with you to the store so you can buy the exact colors that you need.
A great trick for getting images to look right on a wall without freehanding them is to use an overhead projector. Trace your outline on acetate and project the image onto the wall, trace with a pencil and then paint. (Click here to read more about how this is done)
The shading colors really depend on what colors you are using. If you are doing the sky, mix the color you are using with a darker blue color. The biggest misconception about shading is that you add straight black to make a color darker. It winds up being way to dark and muddy. You want the shading to be as natural as possible.
Another trick to bring out the shading is to also use highlights. This is done by adding a small amount of what to whatever color you are using and highlight areas that are on the top or sides. Be sure to pick an imaginary light source where the light will be coming from within the mural so that you know exactly where your highlight areas should be and keep it consistent throughout the mural.
So, there ya have it, a few simple steps to paint a mural on your own without any prior experience.
So let's summarize:
- You don't need any special brand of paints
- You can purchase cheap acrylic paints from a craft store
- Use latex paint for the mural background
- Always use reference pictures
- Use an overhead projector for an outline that is in proportion
- Add shading by mixing a darker color with the original color
- Add Highlights by adding a dab of white to the paint color
- Pick an imaginary lightsource

It's true. I love riding my carbon racing bike, Prince, and can be readily caught drooling over the latest Campagnolo groupsets and ultra lightweight carbon rims replete with technology inherited directed from the space program (or did NASA borrow it from the cycling industry? I can't remember). But I'm also a man who loves the classics, not surprising for someone who's spent the better part of the last two decades immersed in antiquity. But I mean old bikes not old books, bicycles from the heroic yesteryear of cycling. I still have two old steel bikes and they still get ridden. One of them is now genuinely old, a Cecil Walker built in 1979 and fitted with what was then the standard Weinmann components from Switzerland, and a much later Cecil built for me in 1999 with Reynolds 531 tubing. It was my first bike with integrated brakes and gears, a Veloce Groupset and complete with Campagnolo Atlanta 96 rims. It was my pride and joy. I still ride both of them.
I take the '79 out on shorter local rides, up to 30km or so, but I have bigger things in store. I really want to use this to enter into L'eroica, a great event run in Tuscany with courses of up to 200km. What makes this special is that you have to ride a steel bike built before 1987. Some of the regulations include:
- road racing bikes, built before 1987 (not cycle-cross or time trial bikes);
- steel frame (the only aluminium frame bikes permitted are ALAN or VITUS with either screwed or glued joints);
- gear shift levers on the down tube of the frame (exceptionally, only pre-1980 bar-end gear shifts are allowed);
- pedals with toe clips and fitted straps (quick release pedals are not allowed, except Cinelli M71 pedals);
- passage of brake cables outside the handlebars (the passage of cables inside the frame is acceptable);

Add to this that a good portion of the ride is on unsealed roads through the hills of Tuscany. It would be a real test of the bike as well as handling skills. The ride itself would be terrific, but imagine all that great food and wine as well!
The '99 has become my commuter and backup training bike when the Prince is being serviced. I also use the '99 to practice my mechanical skills on, like rebuilding the ergolevers which I did over Christmas. Only the other day I realised something very cool about the '79 Cecil. It was the bike that got me into racing bikes in the first place when all my friends were riding BMXs.
I got into racers very young, while I was still at primary school, also riding Cecil Walkers and I did because that was what my step-dad rode – and the '79 was his bike. He gave it to me when I finished school and needed a bike for my mobile car washing business in Sydney. It needed a lot of work and when I could afford it I gradually replaced most of the moving parts with good quality Shimano Ultegra components and some great Campagnolo Omega rims. Only a couple of months ago I rode it for the first time in ages and was amazed how good it felt. Getting into the hang of using down-tube shifters didn't take long. The geometry felt so good that when I got home I started making lots of measurements to compare them with those on my Pinarello Prince. Interestingly, I also found it much easier to go into the drops and stay there on descents. Most surprisingly I also started getting some of my best times on my local hills on a bike that weighs twice that of my carbon beauty, and that was riding without cleats or even clips and in hiking shoes rather than my carbon-soled racing shoes. It's a bit of a mystery.
Recently I've been thinking about whether to improve this bike, maybe install a nice old Campgnolo groupset, like the 50th anniversary edition with gold-plated details, or maybe the Cobolto or Delta, all beautiful groupsets and worth a pretty penny if you can find one in good condition. But what makes this bike special is our history.
The cranks for instance were bought after the originals snapped in two while riding up to a clients house in Bellevue Hill. I must have presented a pretty funny sight turning up at this mega mansion, having hauled my 15kg bike and a bag full of cleaning gear for the last couple of kms. I was late but I still got the job and he became my best client. After that I would regularly wander into my local bike shop which was run by a great French mechanic, Gilbert (at Gilbert's Cyclery) and his daughter. I know they thought I was nuts buying good components for this bike. Once his daughter once told me "don't spend any more money on this bike!" A couple of months ago I took it into my mechanic's for an overhaul – he kindly referred to as Frankenstein. He was probably right! But hey, Cecil's my Frankenstein. My Beautiful Frankenstein and he's still got some moves.
In my next post I'll look at a couple of vintage bikes that have taken my fancy. I'll also share some of the sites that specialise in selling and /or restoring old bikes that I'm finding as I delve into the heroic era of cycling.

Easy to put on bracelet with illumination to indicate turns in the dark.
Barrier This Solves
Bikes normally are equipped with a head and tail light. But when the cyclist wants to indicate a turn by stretching out the arm to one side, it can be difficult to see this signal in darkness.
The idea of this hack is to increase safety for cyclists in the dark, especially in rural areas with little to no illumination to the streets.

text: Share: Comments Print February 10, 2014 at 12:58 PM Seahawks: Reality, expectation and why Super Bowl win still feels so good Posted by Don Shelton By Mark Tye Turner How often does reality actually meet expectation? How often do you go to a movie that you've been waiting for months to see and then it turns out to be a dud? Or you go to a restaurant that everyone is raving about and you find it to be glorified dorm food? Often when something is really hyped, it sets itself up for disappointment. That wasn't the case for the 2013 Seahawks. Great expectations for the Hawks were actually met. Imagine that! Pete Carroll and his merry band of ghostbusters zapped many of the spirits of Seattle sports misery past. The 1994 SuperSonics flame-out at the hands of Dikembe Mutombo? Zapped. The epic 116-win season of the Mariners crashing in a post 9/11 New York? Double-zapped. The Seahawks denied the Lombardi in Super Bowl XL due to the incompetence of the zebras? Triple friggin' zapped! I had a good feeling this was going to be a super season when the Hawks beat the humidity, the 10 a.m. Pacific kickoff and the Panthers themselves on opening day. I felt even better after crushing the 49ers and a lightning delay in our home opener on Sunday Night Football. Every week the feeling was the Seahawks were moving closer towards greatness. Of course, this feeling was tempered by the fact the city of Seattle and the entire Pacific Northwest had not tasted a major pro sports championship since Jimmy Carter was in office. However, I had one thought: Why can't this be the season we escape the shackles that have tied us down next to Cleveland, Buffalo and San Diego? It was a season when Russell Wilson became a rap lyric and 12th Man Macklemore became a rap star. It was a season when after the Hawks squeaked by the Rams and Buccaneers, some football experts were downgrading the team from elite status. To me, it brought up an interesting question: Can a team be in a slump while still on a winning streak? It was a year when Richard Sherman's post-NFC Championship interview launched him into the pop culture zeitgeist. You don't need to be a Stanford grad to know Sherman isn't a thug, but that didn't stop idiots from calling him one or worse. The 2013 Seahawks were all about the team. The historic punt-return coverage. The defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the league in points and yardage allowed and turnovers. The unselfish offense, boss. Let's not forget the 68,000 members of the 12th Man who during every home game made their presence known. Not only to opposing teams but also to those world records folks at Guinness. I take a special delight when Washingtonians succeed with the Hawks. Be it Dan Doornink, Michael Jackson, Paul Skansi, Jon Kitna or Marcus Trufant. This season we had Lakewood's Jermaine Kearse, who supplanted Skansi as the "former Husky with the biggest Seahawk reception" when he hauled in the go-ahead touchdown in the NFC Championship Game. Kearse made other big-play TDs this year including the game-winner in Carolina, the flea-flicker at Atlanta and the pinball-wizard score in Super Bowl XLVIII. Speaking of the Super Bowl, I don't know why many called it "awful" and "boring." For me, it was the greatest sporting event ever. By dominating the record-setting offense of the Broncos, the Seahawk defense put on the greatest defensive display in the history of the NFL. The Super Bowl has actually caused 12th Man repeatableviewmania, a social condition whereby members of the 12th Man constantly re-watch Super Bowl XLVIII, much to the consternation of their spouse and/or family. During the final scene of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," Willy asks Charlie Bucket (to whom he just given the key to the Wonka empire) if he knows what happened to the man who suddenly gets everything he ever wanted? Charlie does not know the answer. Willy tells him he lived happily ever after. The Seahawks' super season in itself won't make you live happily ever after. It won't bring world peace. It will not eradicate your debt. It will not cure any sickness (with the exception of sports depression). What this season has done is validate every hour you, the 12th Man, have devoted to the Seahawks. Every loss you've endured. Every test of your faith in the Hawks. Every bit of ridicule that's been tossed your way by opposing fans, or worse, from non-football people who think you're an illiterate troglodyte for not only being a fan but being a fan of a team that's never won a championship. Well suck it, eggheads. The 12th Man always could quote Kafka and Chuck Knox. Now we can sing Queen's "We Are the Champions." So what does it matter if other expectations fall flat this year? The film you really think is going to be awesome turns out to be a snoozefest? Or the hot new restaurant gives you botulism? The Seattle Seahawks are world champions! Man, I will never tire of writing that last sentence. Mark Tye Turner is the author of "Notes from a 12th Man: A Truly Biased History of the Seattle Seahawks." You can order his book here at Amazon.

Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of reports on the RV industry and the 47th Annual National RV Trade Show by WSBT-TV, South Bend, Ind. Today's featured video is the station's first report from the show.
Innovation. Experts say it's the big key to a turnaround for the hard-hit RV industry. This year, many of those production shifts revolve around one word: "green."
It's more than just improving gas mileage. From fuel economy to fuel cells, solar panels to wind power, green technology is driving the RV industry.
Brian Brawdy is a nationally recognized conservationist who actually prefers the term "eco-nut."
One look at his home office shows why.
"I hear people all the time talk about home offices. I have a home that's towed by my office," he said, referring to his RV.
It's equipped with solar panels, satellite dishes and wind turbines. There's even a basin to catch rain water for drinking, all with one goal in mind: "To be able to survive off the energy of the sun and the wind."
Brawdy admits not everything in his RV is practical for the typical traveler.
"I don't know if everything as a package is practical. I'm a little Type A, (but) bits and pieces; 25% of the RVs manufactured now have solar panels," he said.
That number is increasing every day, but there are also plenty of green ideas taking hold that people can't see.
Manufacturers are using lighter weight composite materials. New pressure sensitive, flexible fabric weighs just a few ounces, but holds up like steel.
Dow Automotive contractor Mark Formentini says that helps cut down on fuel consumption.
New lines of Class A and C motorhomes are already using the technology.
"It makes them as much as 2,500 pounds lighter," said Ron Fenech, Keystone RV Co. president and CEO.
It's also helping them get upwards of 20 miles to the gallon.
Some motorhomes now run on bio-diesel, and almost all are using lighter weight materials inside the cabin, on everything from cabinets to flooring.
"If you take the weight out, you keep the price down," said Bob Tiffin, president of Tiffin Motor Homes Inc.
In addition to helping the environment, it's also attracting a new group of potential buyers.
"I think more and more companies are going, 'OK, great! What can we do, holistically, to help the planet?' But what can we do to help the RV community as well and cut back on some fuel costs?" Brawdy said.
The question now is how to pay for it. The answer will likely determine the RV industry's short-term fate.
If credit becomes more readily available, inventory will likely continue to move off dealer lots. If frozen credit lines don't thaw, it could be a while before these green innovations actually hit the road.

Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
16 January, 2010
Keeping "clean" on the muddy paths of the internet
I was reminded that it is difficult to comprehend the line that separates our private from public lives. I have chosen to take the position with my own life to use my proper name and life situation in the public forum. Others have made different choices. Neither is right or wrong but it brought to mind the fact that there ought to be some sort of etiquette that applies to these internet exchanges. To date, I have not found such an item.
In one case, I had posted a request for prayers for a person that I have come to respect who had made know to me a particular prayer need. Alas in doing this I inadvertently crossed over the line where the private and public are divided. While he was (as always) gracious in pointing out my error, he did help me to see that whatever is posted on the internet lives on for a very long time.
This same lesson was taught again in another way when one of the posters on this site (and others as well) who repeats ad nauseum various charges and allegations about the Catholic Church was "outed" as a possible purveyor of child porn sites. I have always enjoyed my debates with the man I call "O/C", for amidst the nonsense he posts, he often demonstrated a keen mind which can bring elements to the topic that we are discussing that I had not previously known or considered. For this reason, I chose not to take offense at his allegations and personal insults and continued to participate in conversation with him.
However, a comment posted by someone else pointed out again the lesson about the permanence of our internet footprints by showing that if one were to google his online handle, one could see that there are incidents when someone with this same handle has visited and posted comments on various child pornography sites.
This somewhat shocking revelation put before me something to hurl back at him in the threads of the National Post's religion blog ("Holy Post") when he pushed on further with his insults and insinuations against the Church, its clergy and its practices.
He has subsequently challenged me to bring the matter to the Police, and this I have done. However, given the prevalence of aliases and on-line handles throughout the internet there may be little if anything that they can do. This being said, the scourge of child sexual abuse demands that we do all that we can to fight it in every way possible.
Yet, having done so in as clear and charitable manner as I could think of (asking why a search of his handle produced such disturbing results), I cannot help but feel "dirty" by participating in the exchange.
This is I fear not what the internet was intended for.
If anyone is aware of a site that publishes any form of etiquette or rules that one can follow which permits the free exchange of opinion while remaining unsullied in the process, I would appreciate knowing about it.
Until that day comes, I will try to follow two simple rules:
1. not to post any information that identifies anyone without first asking permission to do so, thereby respecting their right to privacy, and
2. I will use any information that I discover about fellow commentators in the most charitable manner possible.
The internet seems to be a muddy road to travel. It is difficult to journey without being sullied by the dirt thrown by others. I pray simply that I might be able to continue this virtual ministry I have undertaken in a manner that is right and proper as a representative of the Church, and of Jesus the eternal high priest.

What are you doing, Fr. Tim?
David Clohessy, National Director, SNAP-Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, 7234 Arsenal Street, St. Louis MO 63143 (314 566 9790), SNAPnetwork.org, email@example.com
I have brought every case of reported abuse to the police (3). I have reached out to and helped anyone who has come to me as a victim. I have called in these pages, within newspapers and in every forum available to me for the church to stop protecting and supporting offenders.
What more do you believe that I should be doing? If you can legitimately guide me to do more, I will. Please understand that the OVERWHELMING majority of priests want to have these predators removed from our midst. I am no different.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Based on the comment preceding mine, it looks like our friend has decided to go anonymous.
The best lesson you need to know when it comes to the internet, is that once you post something online, it will live forever. Even if you delete the original posting, it will continue to remain available in a cache somewhere, or someone might have downloaded and kept a local copy.
It is a good practice to Google the handle a commentator uses so that you can see what other posts he/she has made.
Now although the O/C referenced in the 'questionable' sites might well be someone else, the obsession he displays with child abuse in the Church somehow seems to rule that out.
Having said that, O/C seems to have dropped out of sight, both here and on the National Post web sites.
Which only seems to reinforce my findings.
Sanwin, Thank you for the advice and information. I think that the NP staff might be responsible for O/C's vanishing from their website as they informed me that at least his recent posts were outside acceptable standards, filled as they were with curse words and slander.ReplyDelete
As I said, I have referred all this information that I have to the OPP task force and I trust that they will determine if something more needs to be done. I will grant O/C the benefit of the doubt until someone proves that I should not.
Again, thanks for visiting the blog. Hope to hear from you again.

That was a good respond to David(S.N.A.P.)I am happy to read that you Fr.Tim would go to the police and already did report some things that needed to be looked in to.ReplyDelete
Would you still go to the police tell them you had facts about a certain priest that was sexually abusing a young person, even if this priest told you face to face it was all true what he did but he said it to you face to face while under the seal of confession? In other words would you try to find ways(loopholes)to get this priest outed out somehow or try to get him sent to another place to keep him away from the victim you know of?
Lina: Are you asking me if I would breach the seal of confession? No. Under no circumstances would I act as you describe.ReplyDelete
But I am not obliged to offer absolution to any penitent who is unwilling to accept the consequences for their actions or take the appropriate step to report his actions to the appropriate authorities.
I simply ask you to believe me on faith, that if such a priest were to come to me for confession, then the obligations for repairative action, and conditions for absolution would be VERY, VERY effective. This application of the instruction of St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, (where he instructs them on how to face a similar evil in their midst) will keep any priest from being silenced by another's confession.
Watch the Hitchcock classic on the same theme. The obligations of the priest are clearly expressed there.
Fr. Tim
- Lina19 January, 2010
Fr.Tim, I may not have explain myself clearly & I am sorry about that.ReplyDelete
I do understand about the seal of confession that has to be kept & I do realize you are not obliged to offer absolution for whatever the case may be. When one is in a confessional box Father Tim you do not know or see who is confessing to you. I was talking about a face to face confession. When you Father Tim see with your own eyes who it is. True, this person is confessing to God through you the same. Nevertheless, you are an ordinary man who happens to be a priest, a man of God but still you are a man. You answered me that would make no difference you would still keep the seal of confession as you been taught to believe. Then you did answered my question.
It is people who do not believe or have doubts about the confessional for whatever reason(even numerous Catholics). You know the Wash,Rinse,Spin,Dry cycle do again concept of the confessional.
It is the secrets & mysteries they have trouble with. The cover-ups of the abuse etc..It could be like my husband said to me. "Do you honestly believe a priest or other members of the clergy would even confess a sin of abuse to another priest when he thinks he has done nothing wrong?"
Maybe after he is convicted and sentenced he will make that confession? One would hope he does.
It is the clergy in position of different levels of authority that knew this priest has trouble with this issue or that priest has trouble with that issue. We better send him here or there like a place some call, 'Southdown' for help. I am talking about the evil criminal acts like people who are NOT part of the clergy and are jailed for similar crimes.
It all boils down if one has respect or believes in the 'Sacrament of Reconciliation'. Do I believe in the Sacrament of Reconciliation? I have no problem with it Father. Why because God knows everything about me. As a matter of fact before I do go to confession, after my self examination of conscience, I believe I am already forgiven & still loved by God. When I am prepared to go to confession and there is no priest there available I still believe I am forgiven & still being loved by God.
- Lina19 January, 2010
Father Tim..you spoke about Hitchcock classic or movie?. Did you ever see the movie, "The Good Shepherd"? There are few movies with the same titled. I am talking about the one that the actor 'Christian Slater' plays in, he plays the role of 'Father Daniel Clemens' in this movie. The other actors are Stephen Rea, Molly Parker, Gordon Pinsent. There is a good part in there in the movie about a priest who refuses to reveal the seal of confession. It is a very good movie drama/mystery.ReplyDelete
This movie in my opinion should be viewed by priest & all Catholics. By the way, do not worry, Father Clemens does keep his vows. :)

Can someone tell me if they actually said "Hyouton" in the movie? I just heard they said "Setton" or "Snow Release" apparently, which would make more sense with this having no similarities to the effects of the kekkei genkai and usaully controlling snow due to the surrounding in the movie's setting. I don't want to watch the movie....--GoDai (talk) 10:11, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, did Renga actually use Ice Release????
- I would feel better if only "Haku" was under this page. Haku created ice mirrors that served as "portals" for his (apparently-)space-time jutsu, while Yuki-nin actually froze targets, and Renga created lenses by condensing moisture. I think we should create a separate page for the Yukigakure Hyouton.--GoDai (talk) 10:11, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
- His technique used ice, so it is deemed Ice Release, I don't think another page would be required, the section on this one explains well enough the difference between the manga Ice Release and others. And Haku didn't use space-time ninjutsu with his mirrors, he just moved between them faster than the normal eye can see. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:57, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

So did they say "Hyouton" in the original movie? Where did this "Setton" stuff come from then? Is it just a fan-made word to describe the difference?--GoDai (talk) 19:42, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% sure, but I think they did say Hyōton. I'd have to check the movie though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:16, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
If it isn't a space-time jutsu, how does he "jump into" a mirror and appear out of another one? Also, if the mirror he was in smashed, he could jump out of one of the fragments. What's the correct explanation? Optical illusion? --GoDai (talk) 07:14, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
- He had high speed to move between mirrors, Sasuke was able to track Haku with the Sharigan when he jumped around. If you're talking about the mirror he made to go take Kakashi's Raikiki for Zabuza, I think that he just hid in the ice mirror and moved the ice mirror there, similar to the guy hidden in a puddle in the beginning of the series, also in the Land of Waves arc, and to Kakuzu's hidden in water technique in an anime only sequence. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:15, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
Is it necessary to keep the movie-only Ice Release techniques, Ice Release involves changing your chakra to Ice release chakra by simultaneously using the nature transformations of wind and water , the "Ice Release" Nadare and his gang uses isn't even a hijiutsu , Kakashi could easily copy it with his sharingan. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 16:36, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
All moves regardless of what official medium they came from are recorded on the wiki regardless what others think. Also read previous conversations on the appropriate pages. The manipulate existing ice. And since it was a movie, it has no real bearing on the plot or on ice release at all anyway, if you watch naruto movies especially ship number 3 you see that the movie makers don't really care for consistency with the manga anyway which is fine since it doesn't harm the plot in anyway. Basically what you are saying was discussed long ago and has been already acted on.Umishiru (talk) 17:04, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
Also the point of listing them here is so that people know what is the difference between the canon one and the movie and anime versions when they come o the page.Umishiru (talk) 17:07, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
By the way, we only have this problem because when this movie came out, it was never said that Ice Release was a kekkei genkai, and it was never said that it was made out of Water and Wind. It wasn't even mentioned that Haku used Ice Release at the time. The movie creators probably just made it up since at the time, we had only seen Fire Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Wind Release, and Wood Release, and they thought it woudl be cool to see some ice. The elements were only sorted out later in Part II when Kakashi taught Naruto about them, and that's the actual time when the problem showed up. --GoDai (talk) 19:53, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, at the time this film came out, we did already know that Haku used ice and that it was a kekkei genkai. In fact, Haku's ice was used to introduce the entire concept of kekkei genkai. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:28, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- I think that what he meant is that when this movie came out, Ice Release, with that name, and being made up from two natures, those bits didn't exist. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:53, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, we knew that Haku's Ice Release was a Kekkai Genkai at the time because I remember Kakashi specifically stating that because of that he couldn't copy the techniques. The reason that they did that in the movie was because...they wanted to. Skitts (talk) 21:58, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, they started the films off well with a tradition of completely disregarding and screwing over canon. Reminds me a bit of the Dragon Ball Z films… —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 00:04, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
Haha yeah just to clear up the confusion, I meant that while we knew Haku used a ice-related kekkei genkai, he didn't say "Ice Release: Demonic Ice Crystal Mirrors" which meant we didn't know it was an advanced chakra nature at the time. This probably made the movie's non-kekkei genkai Ice Release seem to be a different thing from Haku's ability until Masashi Kishimoto revealed that Haku was using Hyouton too... with that nature itself being kekkei genkai. --GoDai (talk) 23:49, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
- No, it really was just a stupid choice. Haku's ice might not have officially been named Hyōton until much later, but it certainly was called that since the moment it was introduced. When the first film was announced, everyone thought it was ridiculous to use non-kekkei genkai ice techniques on both English and Japanese fora. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 00:11, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh interesting. How did the fans know it was Hyōton? Did they make a logical guess? Or was it a fan name for it that eventually became official? Because these kinds of guesses are the exact same kind of guesses that gets us things like "OMG Shikotsumyaku and Kumonenkin are natures!" Was it mentioned to be Ice Release soon afterits introduction? --GoDai (talk) 01:20, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, it was something the fans made up, but that doesn't take away the point that anyone with even a remote interest in the series had already figured out that ice was a nature like fire and such. The introduction of Mokuton had only cemented this believe. It might not have been official, but to most fans it could just as well have been and even so, the film makers should have been more careful.
- Using Hyōton in the film showed that the film makers where unoriginal, couldn't care less about the series or its continuity, had no interest in actually making the fans happy, and didn't even pay heed to the original author. The fact that they used guns and trains only made this worse. Even Kishimoto-sensei himself voiced his disappointment about this. I know several people, myself included, who never watched another Naruto film afterwards, simply because this one was the biggest disappointment until Dragonball Evolution came along. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 02:19, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
- I have watched all the movies so far, and most of them are pretty bad. I found the sixth one to be passable, though compared to the others, it looks like a masterpiece. Maybe it's that I watched it while having low expectations. The seventh was an epic fail though, something that shouldn't be possible considering Minato was in it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:37, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
- It's rather pathetic that the second-most popular shōnen series of the past decade gets such terrible films… —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 02:47, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
VIZ Translation
I think its better to call it Ice Style like every other Kekkei Genkai instead of calling it "Haku's Secret Arts of Water". Its as if the Ice Release applies only to Haku, which is not true. Teppei talk 06:36, 6/4/2013
Kakashi and Ice Release
Hey Guys!
Can someone add Kakashi Hatake to the list of Ice Release user? --Keeptfighting (talk) 21:20, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
The first movie isn't canon.It had no effect on the original storyline. So no. We can't do that. Lord Arceus (Blam! Y'all got the taste of the Bitch Puddin') 21:23, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
where's our stance on Kaguya as an Ice style user? Shadowfox337 (talk) 08:51, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
- Was she said to be one? She can manipulate her dimensions, but can she create ice from nothing? • Seelentau 愛 議 13:15, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
- Wouldn't be surprised... Still, I don't think it was ever said she could use Ice Release.--JouXIII (talk) 13:20, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
- The closest thing Kaguya has done to Ice Release as in "create ice from nothing" is one of her combos in UNS4, where she creates three ice chunks in midair. All other combos involving ice are either in her ice dimension, or clearly show the Yomotsu Hirasaka portal, implying she's bringing it from the ice dimension. Still, nothing canon. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:05, February 22, 2016 (UTC)
- Wouldn't be surprised... Still, I don't think it was ever said she could use Ice Release.--JouXIII (talk) 13:20, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Computing is about leveraging 'computers' and to make us more efficient and agile so we can be more effective and productive in our lives.
Social computing takes the same concepts and brings architecture of participation and community to make our lives better.
We can collaborate better, we can track better and certainly improve our experiences and skills on how and what we do.
Community comes together and creates markets which were nonexistent, new business models are evolving and the way business is done is changing as well. The innovations happen from bottom up rather than top down via participation and collaboration.
The phenomena of social computing is used mostly in consumer scenarios, enterprises are still way behind to take advantage of the participative and collaborative nature of social computing.
There is the opportunity to make the enterprise more agile and effective by encouraging social behaviors via web amongst employees and customers.
Social computing is delivering rich experiences via software + services which encourages participation and collaboration to create better life for all.

The airplex modularity system is a fully modular radiator system for water cooling systems. The design and functionality of these shows the expertise and know-how of the ten year history of Aqua Computer. the system is based on a disk pack with 21 copper pipes from the factory and pressed stainless steel flanges. On both sides of the plate pack are Delrin terminals that seal against the stainless steel flanges and are bolted to these.
The Delrin terminals are recessed for the connecting thread and have a round pocket. In this case, a connection adapter can be connected to two radiators mounted without the hassle of using hose connections to directly connect the radiators. Having determined the orientation of the radiators with each other, the coolant flows through one side next to each other when the radiators are connected in series, horizontally stacked radiators are traversed in parallel. In addition, the system can grow indefinitely in length. Optional modules connect the Delrin disc packs together.
The height of the radiators in standard configuration (ie without pump module) is 63.5 mm and the length is 44 mm longer than the respective fans (eg 3x 120 mm = 360 +44 = 404 mm).
The single circuit design allows the entire radiator to be used for one loop. Optional delrin end plates will be available optionally to split into a dual circuit allowing the same radiator to be used for multiple loops. This is an industry first!
Note: Pump Included!

Retail Futures: Browns Fashion heads to Berlin
Nov 13, 2019 | By Alice Gividen
Mar 07, 2017
By WGSN Insider
If you've been playing close attention recently you'll have seen that more and more traditional editorial sites are hedging their bets with new retail e-commerce offerings.
This month, for all of March, lifestyle and fashion site Man Repeller, run by founder Leandra Medine has an offline space. The pop-up Man Repeller space is called #MRBazaar and held at new retail space, Canal Street Market in Chinatown. The space offers the editorial site the chance it meet its community in real life, and sell product from Man Repeller stickers ($5) to Man Repeller hats and even shoes, thanks to a Net-a-Porter fashion collaboration. The digital savvy brand launched the month long initiative via a party on Instagram Stories.
In November 2016, New York Magazine launched a one stop e-commerce portal for its print catalogue style section that appears in the magazine each week called The Strategist, now you can shop their editor's edit of select products and gifts on the Internet.
And, back in September ahead of Fashion week, Fashionista.com the digital fashion content site launched a range of fashion merchandise, which you can buy from their e-shop. The editors at Fashionista realised that they were reporting so much on the new retail trend for tour merchandise (which created a bigger buzz than traditional brick and mortar retail this summer), that they should capitalise on their knowledge of the topic, and rising consumer hunger for this product category, by creating their own merchandise.
"Because #merch is all we seem to write about these days, we decided to make some of our own, just in time for New York Fashion Week," explained editor Alyssa Vingan Klein in this post. "We created a small, tongue-in-cheek collection that brings together the best of pop culture with the most hot-button topics in both fashion and politics — from the "See Now, Buy Now" debate that's rocking the industry, to the upcoming election in November."
Refinery29, the online lifestyle destination site, has launched their own emoji keyboard called AltMoji.
And New York's Know-Wave pirate radio station debuted its line of cult logo t-shirts last year.
Finally, of course, the biggest example of this is Style.com, the former runway review site, turned content hub with a luxury e-commerce focus.
The reason for this shift to e-commerce? Digital media outlets are building their own personal brands, finding new and innovative ways to stand out in the ever-saturated market. It makes sense that as retailers have made the shift in recent years to offer content alongside their product (look at retail blogs such as Topshop's InsideOut Blog to Nasty Gal's Nasty Galaxy blog), it's not unexpected that content providers are moving into product and merchandise. And this is actually nothing new, while the product might be selling out now, thanks to Instagram worthy logos and Internet buzzword slogans, the methodology is quite old school.
Elle (the magazine and brand owned by Hearst) has long had a clothing line stocked at Kohl's in the US, and then there's fashion brands like Abercrombie with its nostalagia filled "A&F Quarterly" catalogue/magazine hybrid offering, and more recently JCrew's catalogue has come packed with Q&A's from fashion influencers. These examples prove that there has always been a relationship between print, content and selling product- and now both brands and content providers are working harder to engage with fans and potential consumers as they build their brand communities.
"In the saturated space of digital media, brands must creatively capture and engage consumers with original content. Storytelling grows more important," says Sarah Owen, WGSN Senior Editor, Digital Media & Marketing.
The difference this time is that product is more exciting than in the past, from cult tees to emoji keyboards. Berlin-based biannual magazine 032c, has perfected the balance of a high-end content product, its magazine has contributors that include renowned photographer Steven Meisel and its line of sweatshirts and tees are in demand menswear pieces.
Traditional content providers are also working harder to ensure that they've built a dedicated community before launching product to make sure that the community feels part of the process and supports its success. Just look at Glossier, the make up brand that developed out of online beauty editorial site Into The Gloss. Emily Weiss, who had worked at Teen Vogue and W Magazine saw the power of a strong editorial platform, with committed readers, and built up that same community with her site, so when it came time to launch products she already had potential consumers on hand, as well as product testers and fans (aka her readers).
And, this special relationship between content providers and e-commerce is only going to grow and grow especially since the next consumer, Gen Z wants a transparency from brands, and heavily researches brands before she buys into it, so successfully mixing good, informative, well-researched content with e-commerce is the all-important new retail calling card.

In Praise of Open Source Diversity
One of the great strengths of open source is that it offers users choice. You don't like one solution? Choose another. You don't like any solution, write your own (or pay for someone else to do it). Thus it is that many categories have several alternative offerings, all of them admirable applications, and all of them with passionate supporters.

Sword in the Stars
A Once & Future novel
In this epic sequel to Once & Future, to save the future, Ari and her Rainbow knights pull off a heist…thousands of years in the past.
Ari Helix may have won her battle against the tyrannical Mercer corporation, but the larger war has just begun. Ari and her cursed wizard Merlin must travel back in time to the unenlightened Middle Ages and steal the King Arthur's Grail—the very definition of impossible.
It's imperative that the time travelers not skew the timeline and alter the course of history. Coming face-to-face with the original Arthurian legend could produce a ripple effect that changes everything. Somehow Merlin forgot that the past can be even more dangerous than the future…

text: For yoga enthusiasts traveling on a Noordam cruise ship, yoga classes are offered on the cruise line for a small fee per class. There is a small discount for travelers that sign up for yoga classes for their entire cruise. Although this is a convenience, the down side is that the yoga classes vary in times every day, and the class you want might clash with shore times or any tours you might have planned on taking. If this is the case, some travelers suggest using one of the available yoga mats and performing your own yoga routine alone.
